LYRICS
Earth’s our ride
Please conceive
Turn the tide
Help relieve

Is your heart on your inside
Or do you wear it on your sleeve
Your love… do you try to hide
Or live what you believe

Time you bide
Can’t retrieve
We reside
Then, we leave
(Chorus)

Poke and chide
Can’t we leave?
Un-divide
Our pet peeve
(chorus)

You know
Be your own hero
Example of “go”

bookmark_borderDown The Rabbit Whole

LYRICS
Wonder what’s in the rabbit hole?
Should I be the mole?
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Is the goal to find my toll

Pass through the looking glass
Slide to the other side
Here’s not always what it appears
We’re in for a ride

Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Do you think the kitchen sink
Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Is it in the water that we drink

Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Wonder if it’s wonderful
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
The mirror of my soul?

LYRICS
I’m getting interference
In the transmission
Are you getting inner fear
In this “Man’s Mission”?

I’m getting interference
In the passage of the message
Final elimination
Is this “Man’s Mission”?

Damnation nation
The Passage Age

I’m getting interference
In the signal to the “All”
Is “The Fall” the inner fear
Transmission of “Man’s Mission”?

Have you heard the dirt
On the men of the Earth/earth
Earthlings
Birthlings in pain
Insane?
I fear there’s no ear in EARth
Can’t seem to hear here
Falling on a deaf ear
We’re breaking up
Breaking up

LYRICS
Is anybody upstairs
Is anybody there
Putting faith in nothing
Anticipating something

Though we’re spinning round and round
We’re looking upward to be found
Rotations never slowing down
Going round and round

The logic of God is odd
Living for the approval nod
Selfish expression of sole sacrifice
Sugar and spice and everything nice

Is a supernatural being
Being natural at all?
No touching, hearing or seeing
Are you testing my gall?

bookmark_borderHate To Fade Away

LYRICS
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

In the morning, come clean from being so mean
In the evening, calm down
Find where the love is found
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Can you explain why you’re causing so much pain
How can you find joy in snatching a baby’s toy?
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Miss “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”?
Don’t you wanna know how large your heart can grow
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Does any brain remain
Certainly none sane
Be sure to save a piece
For understanding love and peace
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

LYRICS
Greener pasture in store
Blue sky horizon (eyes on) high
Find a better way for me to throw this clay
Nestle a better vessel
Soul stored for the day

Impurity succumbs to the gravity
Form to the shape of a hairless ape
Dot the “I’s” and lace with grace
Occupy space with a brave face

LYRICS
In the quest to survive the test
Do you really think it’s best
To forget the rest?

All the world is a stage
Of knowledge
The more you yearn to learn
the more you earn

Your wealth’s in mental health
The more you go the more you know
On with the show

The more you gave the more you save
The more you give the more live
Can’t take it to the grave

In the quest to pass the past
Observe the future coming fast
Facts are sure to last

Passed the past
Don’t look back
When you’re in the lead

LYRICS
What’s that? “You better get back?”
’cause she’s going to get me back
I’m in overtime
… in overtime

Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

Harvey and Irma wave a wake
Shake and bake
Another earthquake
What will it take
Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

Don’t breathe. No relief.
Eat the dirt. Ozone alert.
Environmental mental thief
Hit the dirt. We’re going nuclear

Not sure of the future
Man vs. Nature

Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

LYRICS
Feeling helpless
Oh so helpless
Alas, one more “unless”?
Hopelessly helpless
Helplessly hopeless
I must confess
I wish there was something I could do
I wish there was something I could do… for you
Feeling blue
Turns to black
There’s no turning back

There’s no place to hide
We’re along for the ride
See you on the other side

I don’t understand
I want to hold her hand
I want to save the life
… of my wife
