LYRICS
Do your skies turn blue
Do your dreams come true
Do you enjoy doing the things you do?

You’re never alone
When Earth’s your home
The greatest gift of all
Is living ’til the fall
Of the curtain
(That’s for certain)

Do your skies turn bright
Is your life alright
Do the things you’re doing give you delight?

Are your skies cloud free
Is your mood happy
Do you enjoy being the things you be?

LYRICS
Damn! In them thar hills
Lays the cure for all that ills
Going to make that mine all mine
From now till The End of Time
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

Do you know what I mean?
Their grass is (always) more green
So, I’m going to search for gold
Till I grow tired, weary, and old
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

bookmark_borderDilemma Of Enigma

LYRICS
Some magic place on this grand ole earth
There is a unicorn giving birth
Suckling rainbows and moonshine flows
With pretty maids all in a row
Why be mean and make fun of it
After all, look at all your bull$hit
Though shattered dreams
Shred reality’s seams
The dilemma of enigma

Some special place in this grand ole world
There is a fountain of youth… you never grow old
Get a new skin for living and living
Go back in time… begin again
Why be mean and make fun of it
After all, look at all your bull$hit
Though shattered dreams
Shred reality’s seams
The dilemma of enigma

bookmark_borderTime Calls

LYRICS
Thunder Mountain struck a note
At the stroke of midnight
Invoked the remote
Revoked slight to night tonight
Behind the walls darkness falls
Beyond the lulls time calls

On the cliff’s face a stoic feature
Stood out as a sign for sure the future
Stone cold
Rock solid
Without a word spoke
Of the slippery slope
Think bold
Do to did
Stone cold
Rock solid
Wield “I shall not yield”

Behind the walls darkness falls
Beyond the lulls time calls

bookmark_borderA Voice

LYRICS
Traveled both far and wide
In search of emotions people hide
Hide so far down deep inside
Wasting in time of those who bide

Chorus
Then I heard a voice say
Please turn and look this way
Through the dark of their night
Head to the light

Now, in the blackest heart
I know right where to start
Skip right to the part “The Love of Art”
Where Cupid imparts an enlightening dart
(Chorus)

So, where ever you may go
You can shed the light on what you know
Gather high and gather low
Combining flames creating radiating glow
(Chorus)

LYRICS
If it only wasn’t for that one wiggling worm
Then, turned from one more
Into a swarm
It might be a tad too late
To get out the swatter
The cake you baked in fate
Was foul since the batter
That one wiggling worm
That one bad apple
Humanity damned in scorn
That one bad apple
Now for sure
Rotten to the core

Can you see around corners
Can you see beyond borders
Where does is end?
Message. Hit send.
Through space-time transcend
Hear ye, hear ye

Lend me your ear
Signal sent… can you hear?

Can you bend around corners
Can you be beyond borders
Where does is end?

LYRICS
Jeopardize with lies
And ties
With the underground
Real eyes realize
Grounded found
Cast the die
(Alas, the die is cast)
Cast the dies
Real eyes realize
Freedom dies
Jeopardize
One size
Fits all
The rise
The fall

LYRICS
The ship of our see
Heading toward tragedy
Over the falls
Building of walls
Thick rhetoric
Making us sick
Speaking in forked tongues
Of bogus battles won
Best at beating our chests
For poisoning our lungs
Won and done
’till our did
Is diddly squat
’till our did
Is not
Thick rhetoric
Making us sick

LYRICS
Of all the low down dirty
Looks like the gloves are off
Heard it from a lil’ birdy
Sad tale of flame and moth
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

A yellow-bellied pansy
Against a chicken gone crazy
A ruby-throated zombie
Thrown in as referee
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

Front row ringside
Watching fate collide
Now something you’ve come to know
The need to wear a gore poncho
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

LYRICS
Into the trees
One as the breeze
Gravity’s destiny
Stickin’ in the friction
Can’t change to blow it (know it)
In the wind
Transcend
Into the wind
Into, too
In the wind
While with
The wind

The blow goes with the flow
The blow is the flow
TO know the flow
The flow to know
Goes with the blow
Which way the wind blows

LYRICS
Well, what have we…
What have we…
What have we here
What?
Hear

When my innards get out
And, outside gets in
When there is no doubt
About the thickness of my skin
After “The End” begins
It gets late for realizing
Life is surprising
Take it

LYRICS
Don’t know when I’ll be back
Going off on a fact-check
That the heck?
So, I’ll ask you
How long to view
For what is true
When there’s no truth
What’s my time worth?

Don’t know when I’ll be back
Going off on a fact-check
That the heck?
Your power to deceive
Your prowess in deceit
For what it’s worth
To speak the truth

Going off on a fact-check
Don’t know when I’ll be back

LYRICS
The overgrowth you’re fearing
I’ll meet you in the clearing
A beginning is nearing
Soon
The overbearing feeling
Sends real-ing reeling
I’ll bring you mental healing
Soon
Rise above the ruin
No matter what you’re doin’
We’ll play a different tune
Real soon (See you soon / None to soon)

The overgrowth’s ensnaring
Tender love and caring
The beginning is nearing
Soon
The overwhelming feeling
Sends real-ing reeling
I’ll meet you in the clearing
Soon
Rise above the ruin
No matter what you’re doin’
We’ll play a different tune
Real soon (See you soon / None to soon)
