bookmark_borderA Beauty

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you see the beauty in the entirety?
Do you see the entirety in the beauty?
Except for there where Killroy’s here
I’ve become aware of what I hear
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

Do you feel the beauty in the entirety?
Do you feel the entirety in the beauty?
Except for where man’s left his mark
The light overtakes the dark
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

Do you see the beauty in the entirety?
Do you see the entirety in the beauty?
Except for the scars of mankind
I kind-of love the beauty in all I find
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Penalized another time?
Did your toe go over the line?
Entertained by a mime?
Think this show is just fine?

(chorus)
One man’s used debris
Another would pay a fee
One man’s pain and agony
Another feels glee

In a tug of war with the world
Or in the corner… a fetus curled
On the bleeding edge of society
Or given up on sobriety

Does what I believe even matter
A positive attitude shatter
Climbin’ Wittgenstein’s ladder
To a place beyond clutter

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In the twilight of the light
Comes the night
Our closest star, the Sun
Becomes done (undone, done, undone)
The light before us
Too bright to be a star
Nor, that far
Is Venus
The planet of love
Shinning in from above

In the twilight of the light
Comes the night
Our closest star, the Sun
Becomes done (undone, done, undone)
The light before us
Too bright to be a star
Nor, that far
… Mercury
We see Mercury
The God of speed
Witnessing our deed

In the twilight of the light
Went the night

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If that’s the way you want it
That’s the way you get it
If that’s what you want
That’s what you get
I don’t know how far you can go
Before it comes ’round and bites you in the ass
Trash sass thrash
Got no class

Careful what you wish for…
Might realize your dreams
When you wish for more, more, more
Seems too much it deems
Gluttony
God save me!

They say “easy come, easy go”
I don’t know what you know
Seeds you sow
Reap your woe

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you feel the essence
Through the thickness
Of the air
Can you seal existence
Effortlessness
Become aware
Gasping for air
The absurdity of the humidity
Don’t know how much
I can bear
Don’t know how much
I can wear
The absurdity of the humanity
Don’t know how much
I can dare

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did it once… upon a time
Now the time is mine
Bring on “let freedom ring”
Let me hear you sing
Ring it in in the morning
Ring it in in the evening
Ringing in fair warning

Freedom is a fragile thing
The cracks are disturbing
Freedom is an agile thing
The promises alluring

Every day it slips away
No matter what you say
It’s what you do… that’s heartfelt true
That defines you

LYRICS
Giving me the bird’s-eye view
Yes, that is what you do
Squawk talk
Cock your head
Sit there and stare
Making me squirm
Regurgitating worm
Into the mouth of the babe
You wade
Into the mouth of the babe
You made

Less we forget the rest
Sooner of later… empty nest
Not chicken… flew the coop
Now, mama’s out of the loop
Maybe then the evil eye
Will die

bookmark_borderThe Stop at The End

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s not really the fall
It’s not really the fall at all
The descent from the top
Doesn’t hurt at all
In The End, it’s the sudden stop!

When you hear the thunder roll
Know you’re not lightning’s toll
It’s not the loud clap of the cloud
It’s that bolt that gives the jolt

Never tire of hearing a screeching tire
Unless at last, it ends with a crash
When you call this a near miss
Experience bliss

Will the power devour?
Our chances are…
Our chances our are chances
Advice: think twice
Before doing rain dances

LYRICS
You can sense the clouds’ power
As they tower
Ominous must
When the could bursts bust
It’s going down
The falling down

Belittle Chicken Little?
The sky IS falling
Man, this is no boy
Wolf calling

Hey diddle diddle man in the moon
Can you tell me soon
Need a cat with a fiddle
Dogging on spoons
Answer the riddle
Is it going down
Is it coming down

LYRICS
Sure, cause all of that jive
Dive into a bee hive
Confess, what a mess
Caught in a state of undress
Now, I hear you moan
Leave well enough alone

Would of, could of, should of
Left well enough alone
Now, the ego is prone
Relationship we call “our”
Is a delicate flower

LYRICS
We’ve got enough nuts
… but what about the jam?
Enough if’s, and’s & butts
But where’s the jam
That’s where I am
If we’re going to get a…
Sand… which?
Land… which?
Understand which?
We’ve got “a” nuts,
Be nuts
See nuts
D, e, f, gee, h, I, j, k, l, m, n, o, pee
Nuts
But where’s the jam
I though you said there was a jam?
Now, here I am….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Have you heard of “no brainer”
This no brainer is a strainer
Scratchin’ my head
Over what he said
Living in delusion
Lively up yourself, don’t be no dread now
Beating on a horse already dead now
Seems to be a lack of marrow
’cause the cavity is too narrow
Solid bone from ear-to-ear
Lack of gray matter I do fear
