LYRICS
Daily grind
Down in the grime
Spending time
No reason
No rhyme
Look up to see me
Distantly
What goes around
Comes around
Sometime
In the meantime
Onside of the line
Feels fine
Outside the box
No cages
No locks
Look up to see free
Intensely

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How can anybody count that high
And, do you ever wonder why?
Have you watched somebody count that high?
Why bother to try

The numbers are adding up
The numb-ers more than mount
The volume is maddening
How “I” can you count?
Staggering

LYRICS
Are the colors muted to you
Or is vibrance seeping through
Through the fog, the clog, the cloud
Poppin’ n’ screaming outloud
Applaud?
… (pause)…
Applause
Amplifies the hues
See the sight
From the brightest blues
To deep, deep midnight
Intensifies my eyes
The bling makes it sing
To a mighty fine shine
Bestow
Know the rainbow
Is a light years so far from here
Behaves as rays and waves
Seam of particle and beam
Casting a shadow of what we know

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Interlope the universe
Chorus and verse (converse)
Chorus and verse…
Vice-a… ah….
Damsel in distress
To rescue from this mess
I confess…
… speechless
Knight in shinning armor
Or, dark demeanor (meaner) of shadow
To know…
… for sure
Interloper of the envelope
Elope beyond
Be on
See beyond the galaxy
Be yond

Oh, so glad to meet you
Come out of the hide

LYRICS
They say you are what you eat
So why not be a treat?
They say grasp the victory
From the jaws of defeat
New history
Victory
Try to fly…
Fly with eagle’s wings
Then, on high…
Hear your universe sing

To be or not to be
Why such a mystery?
Blank page of your story
Scribe your tribe’s victory
New history
Victory
Try to fly…
Fly with eagle’s wings
Then, on high…
Hear your universe sing

LYRICS
It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Quite a fuss
About the calculus
Between us

It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Down the path
Of the math
Around wrath

It gets rated: complicated
Just a little bit
Translated: complicated
The nail’s head hit
Trying to see
The geometry
That shapes “we”

The shapes to come
Untangled… undone

What’s this inner bliss?
Hope you do not miss
… this
An ethereal kiss
Wisp the trouble away

An ethereal kiss
For real
Ethereal

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What about drinking water
As if it didn’t matter
People drink from the gutter
Woes
Doesn’t have to be:
“That is how it goes”
New way to see
Everybody knows

What about air to breath
All our nations grieve
Must be a reprieve
Woes
Doesn’t have to be:
“That is how it goes”
New way to see
Everybody knows

What of the food we eat
Some shoes for all our feet
Shade from the heat
Woes
Doesn’t have to be:
“That is how it goes”
New way to see
Everybody knows

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The wind is behind us
Have no fear
The faith is within us
Hope is near
The blind can see the path is clear
The strong helping bring-up the rear
These are the days and ways to hold dear

The gods are behind us
Have no fear
The “First/Last” ruckus
Cause to veer
The blind can see the path is clear
The strong helping bring-up the rear
These are the days and ways to hold dear

The people behind us
Have no fear
The deaf by us
We can hear
The blind can see the path is clear
The strong helping bring-up the rear
These are the days and ways to hold dear

LYRICS
Way, way back in the day
We were allowed to go out and play
Carefree and happy
There was barely a worry
Don’t ya know
It’s been a long time
Since we played a show
Don’t ya know
This confinement’s got to go
Don’t ya know
Feeling blue… down with woe!

It seems just like yesterday
Lurking evil was kept at bay
Trouble free playing merrily
There was no catastrophe

LYRICS
Muse using musing
Engage the sage
Face to black
Then, fade back
Seeing the big picture
Coincidentally reveals the future
The stakes of learning from mistakes
The perils of errors
And the corpses it makes
On the up-take
Awake
To possibility of responsibility
So your third-I can see
Muse amused using musing

LYRICS
Are you “You are what you eat”?
Does your drummer beat
To a different beat?
Do da, da, dancing feet
Make you feel complete?
Are starting to jell?
Knowing inside all is well
Heart rage you can quell
You are starting to jell
