bookmark_borderRecipe For Success

LYRICS
A pinch of this
A dash of that
Life’s spice
So nice
Low fat
Heart dish
Add and stir
For farther / further
A cup of this
A sprig of that
Life’s spice
Large vat
Heart dish
Hold the mad and sad
Add love and a piece of peace
Better than a diet fad
It’ll last you all your life
So, get out your carving knife

LYRICS
Eyes peering through the tall grass
Trying to see past the past
At last, it’s time for sights to be cast
Upon our prey that’s moving fast
If you want a life that’s rife with rife
Got to get out and catch that wild life

bookmark_borderMajor Reveal (in Minor)

LYRICS
Big deal
Reveal
Strategically designed major reveal
Tragically aligned can not conceal
If we’re not all left as ghosts
It seems at most
Call it, baby, toast
Speel an spew what’s coming due
Do tell your spell of wishing well
If I toss my dime, just in time
… wishing well
Is it too late to tell?
How am I to feel?
Under boot under heel
Crushed soul under your sole
Major reveal
The big deal’s last meal
Return to real

LYRICS
The sun is falling in the sky?
Then,
Maybe it’s time to ask yourself why…
Where and when
Lost the bearings can’t even try
Then,
Maybe it’s time to ask yourself why…
Where and when
Ought to find your way home
Got to find your way home
Oughta, gotta, oughta, gotta find your way home
Alone rambling roam

The moon is rising getting high
Taking over the night time sky
Days gone by
Orion’s tryin’ it’s do or die
Too late for fate to even cry
Days gone by
Ought to find your way home
Got to find your way home
Oughta, gotta, oughta, gotta find your way home
Alone rambling roam

LYRICS
Ready?
Loaded
Firing pin in
Exploded
The rifling is spinning me ’round
No stifling the massive sound

Ready?
Loaded
Firing pin in
Exploded
The aiming’s tight with ‘ole iron sights
Aligning ’em right’s worst of the fight

Ready?
Loaded
Firing pin in
Exploded
Reloading’s trite first shot’s delight
Bite the bullet ’cause the bullet bites

LYRICS
We’ve seen this before
Steadfast in the bore
Send spirits to soar
There must be some more?
Can you reveal
What’s the real deal
Unseal the seal
Woven in the unspoken
Muse musical move meant
Meaning meaning ferments to meant
Ferment to meant

LYRICS
If I could get of the way of myself
Probably be better for my mental health
The entire ride a tired collide
The sum of #1 pride
Intelligence died
Feel the frenzy of the risin’ endorphin
Moving out of the way
Of logic gone astray
Go into the flow
Of the know
The synapse sap flows
The distance from dumb to wisdom grows
As the resistance goes

LYRICS
If you ask me, it just may be
Ass backwards
It’s clearly easy to see
Ass backwards
Though I’m an expert
Retort your report
Sense the scent of science
Yearn to earn to learn

It seems to me it’s probably
Ass backwards
In reality it’s got to be
Ass backwards
Though I’m an expert
Retort your report
Moving toward the final word
Forward out of ass backwards

LYRICS
Have you ever been caught in a pouring rain
All your energy down the drain
From contempt and disdain it’s hard to refrain
Then, out from the shroud of clouds
Hello, sun’s rays
Shine on beautiful days
Hello, sun’s rays
Shine upon the paths and ways
Shine on.. upon.. up on (high, fly)

Have you ever been wrought from a real downpour
Make you wonder if you can take anymore
A heart that’s sore, tore, the mental gore
Then, out from the shroud of clouds
Hello, sun’s rays
Shine on beautiful days
Hello, sun’s rays
Shine upon the paths and ways
Shine on.. upon.. up on (high, fly)

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the hill
Where I stop and I turn and I give you a thrill

Yeah, yeah

As soon as I’m done
Want to do it again
Right back in line
One more time
Over and over and over again
From our hearts
The best part’s
Participation
Taking part
In the art
Of cooperation

End of the run
To the starting gun
Over and over and over again
Once it has been
It’s back to begin
Over and over and over again
From our hearts
The best part’s

Taking part
In the art
Of cooperation

When I look in your eyes
I realize
We sure do have it good
Enough of should
Enough of could
It’s time to do or die
Raise our heart
Push on start
It’s time do die or try

When I see the blue skies
I realize
We sure do have it good
Enough of should
Enough of could
It’s time to do or die
Raise our heart
Push on start
It’s time do die or try

No more battle cries
We all realize
We sure do have it good
Enough of should
Enough of could
It’s time to do or die
Raise our heart
Push on start
It’s time do die or try

Falls in place
Snapped tether
Free float through space

Float like a feather

In the midst of a good night
