bookmark_borderAre We 2D?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are my eyes tricking me
Is that really what eye see?
Do you believe in destiny
Or is it fantasy
A face
Reflecting off the surface
The age
Of my image
Is the mirror real
Or two dimensional
Missing dimension
Feel flat… unsensational
A reflection
Of the person
Ventures into known
Now own thy own
Grown into thy own
Now you’ve grown into your own

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
God, though you may find it odd
I hope I’m not asking for too much
I pray I’m not asking for too much
With all their suffering and such
But could you please
Turn up the breeze…
Just a little more
Believe it or not, that’s what I’m asking for
Please turn up the breeze
Yest, that’s it
Please turn up the breeze just a little bit
Forgive me for the tantrum
Forgive me for the fit
God damn it!
Turn up the breeze just a little bit

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Forever waving
Over the saving
Red, white and blue
And, black and blue, too
Now, whatcha gonna due/do?
Let hatred, greed… disguised as need
Stifle you?
When those in your view
Chose to lose
Silence you
Racist, fascist, nationalist
Can’t you see
Let them be
Evident as a “failed”
Where they lie the die experiment
Where they die they lie

bookmark_borderThe Epic Break-up Song

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Alright
It starts off nice and calm
… when we’re still in love

I thought you said you’d love me
You’d love me till The End
And, then…
It was The End

Things are looking brighter now
And, I know somehow
I’ll find my way out of here
I’ll find my way clear

You said you’d never go
Now, I know
It’s time to go

No blood and guts?
You’ve gone nuts
There’s enough blood and guts
You’ve gone nuts

4×4 with 6-on-the-floor
Equals freedom to pick-up when you want to
Meant for America to move

The stick shift gives ya a lift

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In plain sight
In broad daylight
In the line of fire
Eye-to-eye desire

Just between me and you
There is nothing we can’t do
First we envision the vision
Next we follow through

Dream the scene
Make it true
Seen in dream
Time is due

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you hear about the thing
With David and a sling
Took aim
Rendered lame
After all
The bigger they come
The harder the fall
Then, my Son, there’s Samson
The skill hone
With an ass’ jawbone
Nevertheless
One thousand laid to rest
… at best guess
Does it happen
You choose your weapon
To be keen
Or is it all
’bout being mean?

LYRICS
Exit light comes on
Ride over?
That wasn’t long
That wasn’t very long
Do over?
Want a do-over!
Paid good money for this ticket
You start a fight when you pick it
That wasn’t long
… not very long
One more song!
I want my money back
Refund
Please don’t tell me you’re done
Sheer heart attack
I want my money back
Discover another
Discover an other
I can see
It’s not just about me

LYRICS
Hey, man
Felling damned if you do
Amen
And if you don’t
Fallen
From God’s good graces
Faces you wear/where you won’t
Places between rock and hard
Erase the flawed and marred

Hey, now
Find your way to break free
Somehow
Find your reason to be
Good news
Can be read inside
Good knews
They can not hide
Places between rock and hard
Erase the black and marred

bookmark_borderIs Your Roof Leaking?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How much despair do you have in there
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Still not knowing
Where you’re going
Will you survive
Being alive
Whether we try
We all will die
Friend, why not stay till The End

How much repair do you have to bear
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Understand I’ll hold your hand
There is nothing you need fear
It’s really not clear from here
As we’re speaking
Is your roof leaking?
Are you aware
We care?

Chords: C Am F G C / Am E / F G C

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The wind whips water into waves
Creating a current that behaves

The water runs away
While running to, too
It happens everyday
Hope to notice, I do

A pebble settles on the water
The ripple swells ever further

With I’d the know-how of fish
For sure, know how to flow

LYRICS
Hey, Baby!
Don’t call me baby?
Just maybe
I’ve crossed the line
… crossing the line
If I’m crossing the line
Better take my time
… crossing the line

Put on the heels
What is the deal?
Straying eye
“where” / wear the dress high

Forget the bus
Wait for us
If whatcha after
Is happily ever after
