bookmark_border3rd Eye In Sight

LYRICS
See along the seaside
From where I reside
High above the landslide
Watching the rising tide

When I let the 3rd-eye see
A calm comes over me
Naturally, fell the be

Rise with the sunrise
Searching for surprise
High from enterprise
No matter the number of tries

Along with Venus and Mars
Pass between the stars
Far beyond the wars
In the vision that is ours

Over the rainbow
In a place I didn’t know
Letting the mind grow
We harvest what we sow

bookmark_borderEpistemology (The Thrill of Discovery)

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

LYRICS
Difficult to get
Hitting a moving target
Never will forget
Hitting a moving target

Tact in the track
Squeeze the trigger back
Focusing on “I”
With ease score the bull’s eye

Better hedge your bet
Hitting a moving target
Destiny? We’ve met
Hitting a moving target

Trying not to fret
Hitting a moving target
Pull with no regret
Hitting a moving target

LYRICS
Working smart is a real fine art
Getting harder everyday
… in every way
Job, life will rob… you’re arm they’ll lob
Mourn the turn of your first born

What are you suppose to do
Just trying to get through
How are you suppose to learn
Where you’re suppose to turn

Working hard for the final yard
Getting smarter everyday
… in every way
Robbed by the job… stolen heart throb
No relief any day
… in any way

The older I grow
The more I know
How little I know

Before you grow old
Travel the world
Let you story by told

While you feel young
Find the harmony among
Let your song be sung
(Ohh, ohh, ohh)

Sun rose 1,000 times
Over a 1,000 “I am’s”
We’re in Fortunate Times

The more I know

bookmark_borderWatch Out!

LYRICS
Better look where you’re going
Or without knowing
You could be gone
Before too long
Better look where you’re going

Have we all been distracted
Appalled at the way I acted
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Do we have “I’s” on both sides of our head
Haven’t heard a word that’s said
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Though we can see… walking blindly
Choosing to act unkindly
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Better look where you’re going
Or without knowing
You could be gone
Before too long
Better look where you’re going

Watch Out!.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA. When I started writing this song, a police officer that was driving by gave me the “hairy eyeball” instead of paying attention to where he was going. At the same time, a girl was walking across the crosswalk looking at her phone. We almost had one less police officer and one less pedestrian.

LYRICS
Passed the past
Don’t look back
When you’re in the lead
… why concede?

Over your shoulder
A shadow you’ll see
As you grow older
The light you will be
*pure energy*

Passed the past
Last panic attack
When you’re in the lead
… why concede?

Over your shoulder
A shadow you’ll see
As you grow older
The light you will be

What’s your fate
Volcano of hate
That’s poor taste
Oh, no! The waste
Just can’t wait
Volcano of hate
Destruction eruption

Whirlwind of sin
Tornado of hate
Pinned to “has been”
Human waste
Just can’t wait
Tornado of hate
Destruction rotation

Crush romance
Avalanche of hate
Each and every chance
You participate
Just can’t wait
Avalanche of hate
Smother sister
Smother brother
’til there is no other

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
What does it take to quench your thirst
Head out feet first?
Aching for your bubble to burst
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first

At best you jest
Forget the rest
Head out feet first?

In his head, quest of dead
Heard he said, better off dead!
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first

Are you livin’ a life that’s cursed
Head out feet first?
Bide your time become well versed
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first

LYRICS
Did you hear say
Did you hearsay
It’ll pay
Save it for a rainy day
It’s raining. It’s “pooring”. Couldn’t get up in the “mourning”.

Well, that will depend
Are you ready… really ready
Really ready to spend
… does it depend?

At what cost is lost
Odds of a coin tossed?
Hedging the bet
… bet against
… against regret
Hedge the bet against regret
It’s raining. It’s “pooring”. Couldn’t get up in the “mourning”.

LYRICS
Isn’t it something
When there’s nothing
Isn’t it something
When you’re gone

Though only a moment
Without movement
Though only a moment
It’s been too long

And something is nothing
Hearing Nature-all sing
When I’m gone

Evolving from nothing
Evolving from something
Back into nothing
Stardust to stardust

LYRICS
Maybe I can’t say
That there is no way
To fret and fray
Regret each day
Can’t worry your troubles away

To begin
Worrying
Lets death in
Through the doors
Through the pores
’til only woe endures

Let out a sigh
Don’t wonder why
Everyone will die
Relentlessly try
We’re all still going to die
