LYRICS
Does anybody know if this is it?
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
Ribbin’
Like string theory
Doesn’t have to be such a mystery
Just use your mind’s eye… I
Decypher the cypher in the sky

The decision of the ribbon
Rubbing the ribbon

More like how a butterfly flaps it’s wings
The resulting things
Chaos theory
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
In the chaos theory

Culpability

Posted on March 26, 2015March 26, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Why does the earthling find it so puzzling
After all, it’s hard for all to claim ignorance
To culpability
More like arrogance
To responsibility

Who is to blame
Duckin’ the shame
The acceptability of culpability

LYRICS
Can ya tell me what you’re gonna do
When mean ole Grim comes coming after you
Who’s gonna be your brother’s keeper
After you’re the harvest of ole Mr. Reaper

What will become of your soul
Once your body’s not whole

He ain’t fickle with that sharp sickle
Like the slice of knife with his deadly scythe
Brings’ an end with no mend to your precious life
The End — when the flow won’t even trickle

LYRICS
You, you rebel-rouser
You push buttons (Yes, you do)
More than life’s browser
Finger in the eye (I) of the gluttons

Yes, you, you rebel-rouser
Attempt to arouse
A fashion of compassion
Revolution revelation

Get people up to their ears
In up in arms
Until actualization of fears
Yields to concern for alarms

LYRICS
Where are the people?
Seeking refuge from the steeple
When will they realize?
See all the people
Seeking refuge under steeple?
It’s The End… surprise!

Will we rise
To the occasion?
Immortalize
Homo sapien?

7 plus billion
Earthling refugees
Trying to flea.
Plight — oblivion
Obviously,
Caused by you and me… we

Will we see
Our self-destruction?
Can we be?
Humanity surrection

LYRICS
All filled up with gumption
Humane presumption

Well then give it a go
Let the energy flow

Do unto others?
Betrayed by Brothers
Can’t claim they don’t know
Jihad’s God’s foe

The Bible… Torah, too
And, again in the Quran
Thou shalt not kill
Another’s freewill
[Under direct order not to murder]

How Tall Can a Lego Tower Be Before It Crushes Itself?

How Tall Can a Lego Tower Be Before It Crushes Itself? .mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
C Dm Eb
C Cm

Inspired by a news story. The BBC reported, “It’s not just children who like to build towers with Lego – the internet is alive with discussion on how many Lego bricks, stacked one on top of the other, it would take to destroy the bottom brick. So what’s the answer? ” The article goes on to say, “Safety glasses on, the engineers begin to nervously edge towards the door.

“We’re setting it up automatically, so that we can all back out of the room, so none of us is in range when the thing goes bang,” Johnston explains – positioned, I notice, slightly behind me.”

“The force climbs on, above 4,000N. And then… Nothing. Well, not much. There is no big bang. The brick just kind of melts. ”

“So – how many Lego bricks, stacked one on top of the other, would it take to destroy the bottom brick?
375,000 bricks towering 3.5km (2.17 miles) high is what it would take to break a Lego brick.

That’s taller than the highest mountain in Spain. It’s significantly higher than Mount Olympus [tallest mountain in Greece]”

But could a 3.5km Lego tower really be built?

“There isn’t a chance you could do it in reality,” Johnston says. “Long before the brick fails, the tower would fail as a structure itself, by buckling.

Real life can be so disappointing sometimes.”

Beyond Your Cage

Posted on March 1, 2015April 1, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
First time, last time
What will it be
First time, last time
Set yourself free

Once you unlock your cage door
You’ll never go back to the way it was before

It’s not too late to push that gate
Why wait… push open that gate
Let your inside out
Find out no doubt

Don’t hesitate! Push open the gate!
Through the threshold — you
Let your inside out
Feel free to move about

LYRICS
Once you let your brain out
You realize beyond a shadow of a doubt
Once you open your eyes
You realize
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
What it’s all about

Once you let your brain out
Of your self-imposed cage
The same cage that does enrage
You realize
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
What life’s all about
