bookmark_borderWhat To Do?

LYRICS
What am I suppose to do
When there’s nothing I can do
What am I suppose to do
I’m asking you

Gotta get back on my feet
By keeping upbeat
Defeat defeat
When my heart’s complete

Maybe if I help the world
Before I get too old
The idea ain’t that bold
Oldest story ever told

No reason. There is no “why?”
We’re all going to die
Will you transcend the sky
Because you decide to try

I’m asking you…
I’m begging you

LYRICS
Indecision
X-ray vision
I see a revision
… can see right through you
What the damage is going to do
Make the decision
X-ray vision
Isotope probe
You know you’re going to glow
Can see right through you
Envision revision
X-ray vision
On a mission
Season of reason
X-ray vision
See inside me
Internal treason
Fight in sight
My decision
X-ray vision

bookmark_borderRunning In Place

LYRICS
In a race
Running in place
Unaware
Going nowhere
Keeping pace
Running in place
Soon I found
Gaining no ground
Stagnant
Like a plant
Maybe I’ll grow on you
Static
Less than quick
Clue: non-changing view
Face-t0-face
Running in place
Now aware
Going nowhere
First place
Running in place
Running late
To wait

LYRICS
Quick! Going to get sick
The hospital makes me ill
At the time, I was feeling fine
Well, now my wellness is on the line
Get me out of here
Need air that’s clear
Sound the alarm for harm
Induction of infection
Don’t want to learn of the germ
My health is a gem
My wealth is a all gone
From the system I’m in
Oh, dear! Get me out of here
Hypochondriac fear
Cardiac attack
Fell ill from the bill
Treasure my health
But lost my wealth
From the system I’m in

LYRICS
Treatment
I meant
Treat meant
I scream
Ice cream
Take cake
Candy
Treatment
I meant
Treat meant
Not to probe or poke
Nor resentment stoke
Treatment treat
Treatment
May it be pain free
Void of annoyed
A pleasant event
Treatment
Treat treatment
Treat evident
Heaven sent
The kind kind-of treatment

bookmark_borderWar On Cancer

LYRICS
We’ve got a war on cancer
The only problem…
The cancer’s in her
The war on the goblin
The issue at heart
Hard to tell them apart

Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on terror
The only error
The terror of terror
I just don’t know
Can we wage war on a shadow
Here we go
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on war
We just can’t wait
Fighting hate with hate
The real debate
Can you hate hate?
Ahhh… it’s too late
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

Hearts Attack
Hearts Attack

LYRICS
Before it was too late
The hearts heard of the hate
Arm me with an army
Heart attacks
Plug the holes where love lacks
Hearts attack
The humanity comeback

Before it was too late
The hearts heard of our fate
A leg up… arm me
Heart attacks
Quadruple bypass where love lacks
Heart attacks
The flow of love comes back

Sure hope it’s not too late
For your heart to participate
Early heart attack care
Are you aware?
It’s time to start
Arm your heart
Pick up love’s slack… attack!

ABOUT THE SONG
While sitting in the hospital’s waiting room, I saw a brochure entitled “Early Heart Attack Care”. It inspired a song about the love in your heart.
