bookmark_borderIn the Grand Scheme of Things

LYRICS
Just a placeholder
That’s growing older
The king did anoint
To the right of the decimal point
In the grand scheme of things
Witnessing what mortality brings

Though small from far away
Growing bigger day to day
It takes every slice of pi
To measure up under the sky
In the grand scheme of things
Hearing how freedom rings

When oh so miniscule
Why stubborn as a mule
What difference will it make
In the position I take
In the grand scheme of things
Unless it’s your heart that sings

LYRICS
You don’t owe me anything
I don’t owe you anything
Except for whether whatever we forever bring
[Sing!]
What is the essence of our presence
In whatever together we forever bring
[Let’s hear us sing]
Except for whether whatever we forever bring
Hint: our footprint
From livin’ in
The Damage Age
The damn damages
The Damn Damage Age
Livin’ in The Damn Damage Age

bookmark_borderComing Attractions

LYRICS
Stay tuned
I’d love to see the reactions
To the coming attractions
The faction
Offering distractions
Pure fiction
With fact subtractions

Step right this way
For your total display
Of universal dismay

The shape shifter
Orange grifter
Tries to untie lies
As he puts (his) foot in mouth
About stealing wealth
All crime all the time
Spreading among us like a virus

LYRICS
Don’t have a heart attack
Nor a stroke
Immunity’s out of whack
And that’s no joke
This change sure is strange
Times far beyond bizarre
This disease is nothing to sneeze at
Knee-jerk reaction
Gut over brain to combat
Immune system satisfaction
Times far beyond bizarre
My jaw left ajar

bookmark_borderStill Open

LYRICS
The world is still open
From here to the moon
I’ll keep on coping
Make a run to the sun
The world is still open
Sure I’ll see you soon
We’ll keep on coping
Till all time’s undone
Blue sky
Green scene
Times fly
Years smear
Into the sun!
So glad
We’ve had
Fair share
Aware
Into the sun!

Instead of saying I want to hold on
Maybe it’s time I move along
A short wait/weight — a long
I can hardly wait/weight — along
Hold on? How long? Hold on!

bookmark_borderShred Of Evidence

LYRICS
The thread that holds us together
Well read facts rule forever
1 is 1 (our entire run)
2 is 2 (no matter what you do it’s true)
3 is 3 (in perpetuity)
To be or not to be
My disregard to destiny
Set your will free
… freewill will

bookmark_borderBlow

LYRICS
Blow, blow, blow
Watch the balloon grow
But to be fair
Not too much air
Or your bubble will burst
Damned and cursed
You’ve got to know
To stop the flow
Not enough
You’ll over inflate
Too much
Deflate at a rapid rate
Pop! Deflation will not stop

Blow, blow, blow
But watch where you go
You might blow up
That’s what’s up
Blown
The freebird flown
Overinflated is overrated

bookmark_borderSalamanders, Peppermint, and Myrrh

LYRICS
Salamanders, peppermint, and myrrh
Stalactites might hold tight
Does the world start to cave
Does it matter how humans behave?
A slave to animal instincts
Overrides what one thinks
So, the id did what the id did
Reprimand her, pin it on him, and more
Strategies incite fight
Will the world start to cure… or cave
Does it matter how humans behave?
A slave to animal instincts
Overrides what one thinks
So, the id did what the id did
Overlords of our own soles
Sow the seeds we did

LYRICS
I could be sad
The world’s gone mad
But, we’ve been here before
Stay tuned in for more
I could be sad
The world’s gone mad
Instead I’m glad
It’s just a fad
We don’t have to buy into their hype
’cause in your heart you’re really not that type
Sure hope we’re headed to “more level headed”
And the fallacy you’ve read put to bed

bookmark_borderWake of the Downpour

LYRICS
Caught up in the “wake”
Of the downpour
Do a double take
Of gore galore
Pimping humanity
Who’s the whore?
That’s just the shake of it
Want to hear some more
Those humans just won’t quit
Sure as a nasty habit
From your hat pull a rabbit
Sure is a redundant bit
See redundancy
Hear here
The pulling a rabbit from a hat
Redundant habit
Rabid habitat habit

bookmark_borderNature’s Call

LYRICS
As for your retort…
the ball is in your court
All things considering
How is your swing?
I feel the breeze
Do you tease
Or after all
Nature’s call
… will the cradle fall

Rock a bye-bye baby
Too many maybes
May be our demise
Comes as no surprise

Kumbaya, my Lord
’cause baby’s getting board
Live the word
Or die by sword

bookmark_border(Make Way For) A Good Day

LYRICS
My heart is still beating
My feet above the ground
Give the morning a greeting
’cause that’s what I’ve found
I say:
Make way!
For a good day

My mind is still thinking
Be kind and love the sound
Of Mother Nature singing
’cause that’s what I’ve found
I say:
Make way!
For a good day

My knee I’m still slapping
My body moves around
My hand can’t help clapping
’cause that’s what I’ve found
I say:
Make way!
For a good day

My knee I’m still slapping
My body moves around
My hand help out clapping
’cause that’s what I’ve found
I say:
Make way!
For a good day
