Dig In / Sprout Out

admin — Wed, 08 May 2019 14:40:19 +0000

LYRICS
The beauty from within
Will sprout out
A season will begin
You’ll bloom soon
No doubt
The roots dig in
Giving power
To your flower
Your hour
Your our
The peddle of the petal
Won’t settle
Until it sprouts out
Colors of the rainbow flow
For all to see
The beauty
That you’ll bloom to be
The beauty you’re soon to be

LYRICS
Just flew in
Where to begin
Terra wreaking terror
Give a wide berth
To spaceship Earth

We’re the race of the troll
And we’re out of contrl
You won’t see humanity
In any human
Amen
(Ahhhh men!)

Homo Sapien at it again
Terra wreaking terror
Over your race
It’s all our space
Terra wreaking terror
We’re the race of the troll

In any human
Amen

Gamblin’ Man?

admin — Mon, 06 May 2019 14:22:51 +0000

LYRICS
If you’re playing heads or tail
Even odds that you’ll fail
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Roulette 37 to 1
Chances are won’t have won
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Blackjack less than even odds
Unless you’ve got your own Gods
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Holy crap when it comes to craps
The odds on Odds are fair
I wan’t aware
Now you’ve named the game
I’ll be right there
Kind-of like a kick to the groin
Might as well flip a coin

Year After Year

admin — Mon, 06 May 2019 14:15:45 +0000

LYRICS
The first year that went by
I was too young to know why
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Grew into a young lad
Growing older made me glad
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Years of ten were lean and mean
A fertility machine
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Had a wife and had my kids
The best thing I ever did
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Now that I’m growing old
A different story to be told
Year after year (after year after year…)
Memories to hold dear
Never in fear
“The End” draws near

Desire To Climb

admin — Sun, 05 May 2019 14:53:17 +0000

LYRICS
Wrestling with dirt and dust
Destination or bust
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
The desire to climb
Higher and higher
With the insight
To shine the light
Letting the light shine bright

Finding my way or the highway
Leads to dismay in the disarray
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
(chorus)

Forget accumulation of regret
Seek out and resolve the debt
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
(chorus)

Which Came First

admin — Sat, 04 May 2019 20:10:38 +0000

LYRICS
I’m not sure
The question I be
I’m not sure
Did I lay an egg?
Feelin’ soon
Going over like a lead balloon
Then again
Flyin’ like Led Zeppelin?
Who knows
It’s time to put on the nose
In fact
Time to get together the act
To their surprise
Rise!
Don’t think Titanic
And sink
Doing the bootstrap rap
Pull myself up and go
Into the flow

* A Carbon Footnote

admin — Thu, 02 May 2019 14:38:37 +0000

LYRICS
A hit or miss
Misfit fit bit
Accompanied
By company
A lil’ under lit
Do what we can
With what we’re given
The basic human
Opinion driven
Until the grave
Shave
Humanity
(a sliver of live-er)
Driven to heaven
Being a being
Human humanitarian
(Sing it again!)
A carbon footnote *
Rote
In repetition
Of trying to be me
At all cost
Lost
Boasts of milk-toast
Fiddling at the fall
… of civilization
The balls of the ball
… castration

Do what we can
With what we’re given
The basic human
Until the grave
Save
Humanity
Driven to heaven
Being a being
Human humanitarian
Sing it again!
Amen

Way Out

LYRICS
There’s no going back
Find our way out
No need to re-track
Blind? Feel about….
There’s no going back
Find our way out
Knowledge we lack
Intuitive route
Eventually we’ll see
Light! Darkened bright
Smell the fresh air
Almost there
Getting out of here
Is near
Knock, knock. Who’s there?
Don’t know it
If you don’t care
The aware
Share in all that’s fair

LYRICS
Is that a tuna factory
Attacking my olfactory
What’s that smell
Can you tell
(Sure smells fishy
If you ask me)

Limburger cheese
Stow it, oh please
What’s that smell
Satin’s spell

Take no pleasure
In burning sulfur
What’s that smell
Smells like hell

Plug my nose
Plug your knows
Unknown smell
Just as well
(Smell it still
Paper mill?)
Unknown smell
Just as well
(’cause possibly
It’s coming from me?
Quite possibly….)
Excuse

LYRICS
Outside your main cage
In the wild
Up there on the stage
In the wild

It sure is a thrill
Running with the wildlife
Oh if looks could kill
No taming the wildlife
Hard to get my fill
Living the wild life

The hare’s hair stands on end
Mother Nature’s rules won’t bend

The dear are so dear
In the wild
A witness I’ll bear
In the wild

LYRICS
The blues on the suede of the shoes
Eludes the dudes
Miss post-modern blues
True that it may be
’cause maybe it’s true

Be it thick in sick
Or shine fine
Over shades of grey
To say
Above all
Love
Above all
Love
All

Bad Knews

admin — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 14:24:45 +0000

LYRICS
Say, hey… what’s up with all the bad “knews”?
(I knew them yesterday)
They say
“Another passing on the way”
And it’s too shocking to me
Did you see?
Laid to rest
(Not for the best)
Too today
Take the cues
(Without clues)
Singing the blues

Say, hey… what’s up with all the “6-feet-deep”?
Doing the macabre dance
Reaper creep
Oh, no it’s not for the best
Any day
Laid to rest
(Not for the best)
Too today
Take the cues
(Without clues)
Singing the blues

Oh, no did you know another friend
Reached “The End”
Ohhhhh, how I hope we meet again
Up beyond the sky so blue
Making music for you
Laid to rest
Playing with the best
… in The End

Toll Of Self-Control

LYRICS
If I can get myself
Tryin’ to get myself
Under control
Tryin’ to play myself
Ponder normal
But, here’s the thing
When my spirit takes wing
The bliss she’ll bring

If I give up self-wealth
Maybe I’ll get myself
Under control
Toll of self-control:
Mental health
’cause here’s the thing
When my spirit takes wing
The bliss she’ll bring
(The kiss of the bliss)

If I can get the role
Tryin’ to get the role
Of control
Tryin’ to take and dole
The goal
For here’s the thing
When our spirit takes wing
The bliss we’ll bring
(The kiss of the bliss)

Music (Till We Die)

LYRICS
Well, what I meant
In the basement
Was meant to permeate
The substrate
Seep from the deep
And clear the air
Up there
From the cellar of my soul
To the seller of my soul
The dues and toll
Of rock n’ roll
At hand garage band
Making music to live by
Last found underground
Making music till we die

Simply Complex

LYRICS
How you see complexity
Is in the “I” of the perplexed
Others see simplicity
Under a curse and hexed
Of course
As one ages
Turns the pages
The course
Of growing older
Finds the beauty of the beholder

As I see outside of me
Mind’s-eye views the connect
Others see anarchy
Argue how the ship wrecked
Of course
As one ages
Turns the pages
The course
Of growing older
Finds the beauty of the beholder

Clearly see chaos theory
The unordered system I am
Thesis of puzzle pieces
Whether they fit together
Of course
As one ages
Turns the pages
The course
Of growing older
Finds the beauty of the beholder

Drastic

admin — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 14:02:27 +0000

LYRICS
I suppose it doesn’t sound drastic
That the soap fell on the floor
You might assume I’m spastic
The cause of blood and gore
Until you learn more
About slip and fall lore

I suppose it doesn’t sound drastic
That I was swimming with the fish
You might assume I’m spastic
Screaming “I’m not the fish’s dish!”
Until you learn more
About great white lore / lure

I suppose it doesn’t sound drastic
The weather was very frightening
You might assume I’m spastic
The cause of blood and gore
Until you learn the lore
Of thunder and lightening

LYRICS
Maybe I’m thinking just a bit too hard
Careful I don’t leave my brain scarred
Smoke is coming from my ears
Memory bank is in arrears
Maybe I’m taking it a bit too far
Might cause a neurological scar

Memory bank is in arrears
Another day under the sun
Still can’t figure 1+1
Am I really the only one
… don’t you know it’s 2, too?

Sheep Hearder

admin — Sun, 21 Apr 2019 19:14:53 +0000

LYRICS
A lost little sheep
Still really a lamb
Yet a spirit so deep
Makes me question
Who I am
Getting fleeced
By a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Causing loathing
At the suggestion
Of who I am
The clothing within
Is where/wear
Spirits begin
From there
The spirit’s shout
“Let me out!”
And, I begin showing
Exposing the knowing
Of your doubt
A lost little sheep
Still really a lamb
Yet a spirit so deep
No need to question
Who I am

They call that thing
The brass ring
You can have it
If you can grab it
Your transit
To a free ride
Yours to be tried
You get to be
Livin’ like royalty

The calliope of life
Carousel of living
Is your go-round merry
On the merry-go-round
You’ve found?
Here’s the thing
If you grab the brass ring….

You can say you tried the free ride
Free of strife
Full of giving
Calliope of life
Carousel of living
Life circle
Life cycle

Cutting The Cord

admin — Fri, 19 Apr 2019 17:17:41 +0000

LYRICS
When I was just a little bitty baby
Trying to learn to be born
I wondered… how… maybe…
I’d ever learn
Now, I’m cutting the cord
My first word
Cutting the cord

I was thinking
Before I learn blinking
Better learn to cut the cord
Gonna hit the ground running
No time for sunning
Now, I’m cutting the cord
My first word
Cutting the cord

Shoot, coming down the chute
Brain compute
Here comes birth on Earth
Umbilical, don’t hold me back
Surgical, my skills lack
So, before I learn blinking
I’m thinking
Cutting the cord
Now, I’m cutting the cord
My first word
Cutting the cord

Don’t want to cry like a baby
But, maybe…
Mama!

Wish For Wings

LYRICS
Among other things
Do you wish for wings?
With a choice voice
The way a bird sings?
Spread my wings and fly
Soaring gets me high
Seeing things from a bird’s-eye-view
Clear from here exactly what to do

Are you afraid
To take the leap
Well, my mind’s made
I’ve got dreams to keep
Spread my wings and fly
Soaring got me high
Seeing things from a bird’s-eye-view
Clear from here exactly what to do

Ready to try
To fly up high
Now, you’ve got wings
Voice your choice
The way a bird sings
Spread your wings and fly
Soaring gets you hig
Seeing things from a bird’s-eye-view
Clear from here exactly what to do

Grasp

LYRICS
In the fritz of the fray
Foray
Will focus stray
In the midst
Of the grasp of the grip
Won’t drip toward slip
Flip
The grasp into grip
Mental fist
Grasp fast
Slip into grip
Grasp
Betwixt the fray
Rebound decay
Will focus stray
Beyond gist… just
In the grasp
Grasped
Get a grip?
Got a grip
Grasped

Weather the extreme theme
It’s now or never
Forever ever
The “nevertheless”es
Blowin’ in… whoa… listen to the wind blow
Whistles and moans
Rattles the bones
With a “shiver me timbers” timbre
An extreme event vent
Not whether weather
Weather
Extreme human being
Being extreme
Event vent

Notre Damn

admin — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 13:56:24 +0000

LYRICS
Damn, Notre Dame damned
Hell’s fire on the spire
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water
Poor on water
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Dire! Dire! Dire!
Situation
Damnation
Scorn of the crown of thorn
Sear Mother dear
Will the smoke clear?
When the smoke clears
Our eye’s realize our fears
Our greatest fear
Crown of thorn burn
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water
Poor on water
The deadliest sin… burnin’!
Crucifix Phoenix
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
In France, flames dance
Gargoyles frown
The deadliest sin… burnin’
Fire flarin’ higher
Transpire to dire
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water
Poor on water
All shout:
“Put it out!”
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water
Poor on water

LYRICS
What do you way
If along the way
We can see
How far we can get
Life let…
Off her leash
Her release
Life let…
Out
Cage of doubt
Unlocked
Set free
The door’s wide open
Free to run
Turning when into then
Over and over again
A perpetual motion machine
Within your skin
Through the eyes, the souls sheen
Through the “I’s” the soles team

Black Whole

admin — Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:02:30 +0000

LYRICS
Push all the meat into the funnel
Put it all
Push it hard
Trim the lard
Turn the handle round
Pound for pound
Grind until ground
A mind found?
I mean
There’s no ghost in the machine
Across the horizon
Making the scene
More than a zillion
Yet, none to be seen
You know… show me the soul
You no… no soul… not a sole
Sole soul hole
Black whole

We All Bleed

admin — Sun, 14 Apr 2019 18:31:54 +0000

LYRICS
If all of the states were to secede
Not only in fact, but in deed
Indeed, would there be a union
Or just man-for-man one-on-one
Too late to hide? Better run!

Hatin’ bein’ free
While trying to be
Being free of free
One’s destiny
As tryin’ to be
Being free from free
You’re confusing me

Birds wrestling in the leaves
Trees bending at the knees

If all were to concede we all bleed
Instead of eat the “meet” we would feed
Nourishing our humanity
How we’re meant to do
I’m asking you
Can we be humanity?

The Accounting

admin — Sun, 14 Apr 2019 18:25:29 +0000

LYRICS
There’s one for me
And, two for you?
Sum and then some
Wonder how come?
There’s one for me
And, two for you
Starting to see
Just how it’ll be
Sum and then some
Wonder how come?
Some sum

Day upon day
Year upon year
Time grows shorter
And so we fear
“Upon a time….”
Or so they say
The last quarter
Is under way
Sum and less some
Wonder how come?
Some sum

Upon “The End”
The rules won’t bend
Then, all shall see
Equal will be
Equal we’ll be
Kingdom has come
Some sum

From Up Here

admin — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 14:25:48 +0000

LYRICS
From up here
I’ve a window on the world
But I won’t look down
(No, I won’t look down)
See people so tiny
Like ants in the plants / in their pants
With too little time to appreciate
Might make ’em late to agitate

From up here
I’ve a window on the world
But I won’t look down
(No, I won’t look down)
Take a cue to form a queue
Wasting time to stand in line
With no appetite to alleviate
Far too hungry to alienate

From up here
I’ve a window on the world
But I won’t look down
(No, I won’t look down)
Hurry from here to get there
Unaware they don’t care
Anticipate they’ve cast their fate
At any rate, won’t deviate

Just can’t make up my mind

Newborn

LYRICS
The sun’s ray doesn’t fray
Until its spill on the window sill
I believe the sun’s ray rules the day
Then the eve will relieve
In the night stands still
Again turn till torn into the morn
The day born
… a newborn

For now somehow the sun slips beneath
The night takes a bite with darkness’ teeth
At last a vast heavenly sky unveiled
IN the shadow of tomorrow
Never failed
Again turn till torn into the morn
The day born
… a newborn

It makes me so happy
I start to move
It makes me so happy
I like to groove
Tap my feet
To the sound of the beat
Clap my hands
To the sounds of the bands

Cutting rug
Shoulders shrug
Slap my knee
Laugh n’ glee
Happy
My stance takes on a dance
I like to groove
Do you like to groove, too?

Just Got Back

LYRICS
Just got back into town
Can’t find my way ’round
Where ever I am bound
Can’t be found
All alone… at home

I can see I’m all alone
In a sea of people
Prone to a complex scene
In a soul so simple
Can you relate to the fate
Do you know what I mean?

I thought it was just a minute
If not, only a mere moment
But, oh, how things have changed
Everything’s been rearranged
Not familiar with the strange
Do you know what I meant?
… near a mere moment
(chorus)

LYRICS
I’m thinking one thing
Yet, when I sing
The thing I’m thinking
Doesn’t sink in
Am I sinking…
Or just swept in the flow
Downstream I go
Am I sinking…
Swept into the flow
I don’t know
Head above water or below
Relax.
The facts.
Love to float above
In the flow

LYRICS
Caped crusader
Man of steel
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
The crime of the century
Maybe all of history
A vast conspiracy
In need of repeal
What’s the deal
… the real deal?

To whom do you cater
Where’s your corporate seal
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
(chorus)

No heroes till later?
Wait for the feel?
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see

LYRICS
I can hardly think of anything to say
(Try as I may)
Next to nothing
On the way
To zilch
Just a pinch
More than something
(Not a hole lot
A whole lot)
When I have nothing to say
My lips are sealed
Now, is not that time
Thus, I yield
To a word or too
Or to too many
Perhaps I’ve said plenty?

Do you feel that something’s got a grip
On your heart the tug thug mugs a rip
No matter how hard you try to pry
Stuck in time feeling by and by (bye n’ bye)
Eventually you will see

Before long you’ll be free you’ll see
Right the wrong, justify till you’ll be
The harder you apply try and try
The you’ll gain wing to fly
Eventually you will see
You’ll see

Right turn? No wrong
Left weak now strong

LYRICS
This is what you said was to be?
Just wish…
… wish you would have asked me
Your world unfurled
Hurled

Out-of-sight
Into the light
Seeing…
… sawing… the awe-ing
Left around down
Up to desire higher

Starting up this thing
Everybody sing
Give those feet a chance
To dance
In the morning
In the evening
In the daylight
And dark of night
Living on song and dance
Puts a twinkle in your glance
It’ll keep you young at heart
Give an old soul a knew/new start

Dancing along to every song
Raising a voice singing along
Can justify whatever’s wrong
As long as your spirit can hear it

Did you every question “skin the cat”
What’s up with that?

Still mortal
Full of mortality

How did we get it on?
Sometimes the air is thick

Hard to keep priorities straight

Can we meet face-to-face
Has the brain gone insane
Or is the notion of meathead
Finally put to bed?

Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

Can our human rights embrace
And hatred start to wane
Everything we said
Finally put to bed?

Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

Can we finally get a taste
Of everything we waste
The riot act read
Finally put to bed?

Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

Can we really get some space
To enjoy the human race
Before we’re dead
Finally put to bed?

Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

admin — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 19:50:46 +0000

LYRICS
Should come as no surprise
Starting to realize
Cut down to size
The devil in the detail
Sold my soul retail
“My way or the highway”?
What a load…
It’s the low road
The high way we foresee
Come quickly
Wrestle me
At the crossroads
Warts of toads
Eyes of newts
I’s of “new it”‘s
Cast the spell
Self-imposed hell
(or)
Livin’ in heaven

Getting Old

admin — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 19:43:50 +0000

LYRICS
I don’t know where the times went
Our youth and innocence spent
Mother Goose is cooked
Bother is overlooked
Turn the page on age

If I can be so bold
Growing old is getting old
Mother Goose is cooked
Bother is overlooked
Turn the page on age

Sunrise in the east set in the west
Forgetting your lover is probably best
Move on to the next get on with the rest

I don’t know why your dreams ran dry
Never too late to give ‘er a try
Mother Goose on the loose
Wiggle out of your noose
Turn the page on age

Imagine you learn how to pretend
Sign, seal and then you send
Mother Goose on the loose
Wiggle out of your noose
Turn the page on age

Sunrise in the east set in the west
Forget her is likely best
Get on with the rest

Profess

The wicked get no rest
The crooked sins ingest
Bring angels! Think it’s best
You profess — the word is yes

Find evil’s creeping in
The shadow is hoverin’
Bring angels! Think it’s best
I profess — the word is yes

The bad, bad ole boys
Gun for fun deadly toys
Bring angels! Think it’s best
We profess — the word is yes

Black widow venomous
Enough to kill all of us
Bring angels! Think it’s best
Us profess — the word is yes

LYRICS
So it’s told there is a place
That’s beautiful
In this world there is a race
That’s peaceful
Homo Sapien keep on tryin’
When you fall down
Try and try agin’
Humankind is findin’
Kind is all around
To be found

Yes, they say in outer space
There’s an alien
In the day of this race
Called human
Homo Sapien keep on tryin’
When you fall down
Try and try agin’
Humankind is findin’
Kind is all around
To be found

Dizzy

admin — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 14:12:30 +0000

LYRICS
What’s causing such a stir
Dizzy
Everything’s all a blur
No time for such a stir
Busy
Everything’s all a blur
The changes that you put me through
Are causing a commotion
The ranges of your “brew and stew”
Are extreme emotion

What’s the deal, baby
You are driving me crazy
With your flippant attitude
And your manners oh so rude
Tell me what’s the deal, baby
You are driving me crazy
With an intellect too crude
Eating babies for your food

Don’t Fall For It

admin — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 14:42:06 +0000

LYRICS
I hope you’re aware
If you kick the feet
Out from under your chair
Defeat
You won’t be there
Beware!
You’ll be down there

Just a full blown fool
Kicks out the feet
From under their stool
Defeat
Defeat
You won’t be there
Beware!
You’ll be down there

Rollin’ on the floor some more
Do it once, lesson learned
Do it twice, thyself burned

I hope I don’t tug
Pulling out the rug
From under my feat
Defeat
I won’t be there
Beware!
I’ll be down there

LYRICS
When I think of you
I think of dreams come true
The embodiment
Of the body meant
By the numbers
Mind number
When you twirl your hair
Spring is in the air
Flowers start to bloom
Hearts go boom

When I think of you
I think of dreams come true
The embodiment
Of the body meant
By the numbers
Mind number
I hear the birds sing
Colors get a zing
When I get to know
How everything can glow

In The Driver’s Seat

admin — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 18:27:40 +0000

LYRICS
Try to steer clear of the fear
Try to steer near to the dear
Reality will appear
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the rear
Try to steer near to the hear/here
the sound will adhere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the jeer
Try to steer near to the “we’re”
Unity cohere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the sear
Try to steer near to our sphere
In the atmosphere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

LYRICS
When I saw the mountain
Just had to give a try
Need to know for certain
Just how high
I can get
With no regret
Life’s a bet

When I saw the river
Just had to give a try
Need to know “deliver”
By and by
With the flow
Here we go
Need to know

At the fork in the road
Knew which path I should try
No matter the load
Just how high
I can get
With no regret
Life’s a bet

Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
Though if I chose
Avoid the woes / whoas

Generalization
Invalidation

Damn damnation

I’ve got 10 toes
Eyes and a nose
What segmentation
Of civilization
Regurgitation

I’m one of those
Is it my clothes
Or the wind blows…
Your imagination
To segmentation
Invalidation

He never gets no rest

Glad You Could Make It (Fascinization)

LYRICS
I’m glad you made it
Glad you finally made it
To the show
Glad to watch you fade
Made the fade
Into the know
Yearn to learn by experimentation
Add curiosity stimulation
Mix the fix with fascinization

If you were expecting
Except an intermission
Your inner-mission
Face-to-face with outer space
(chorus)

The End. Please come again (again)
Until then… it’s time to begin
(chorus)

Lapse In Memory

LYRICS
I forget what I was going to say
I forget what I was going to play
Then, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack

I forget what I was going to do
Please tell me, tell me, tell me true
Then, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack

Hands are wrung on the tip-of-my-tongue
Mental trip… more than a Freudian slip
Then, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack
Lapse
Hard to grasp
Think fast

I forget what I was thinking of…
Of course, what other than a song of love
Yeah, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack
Mem-or-me

LYRICS
Abby Somebody
Just a brain
Caught in the reign
To restrain
Is Abby somebody?
In the eye-of-the storm
Not of the norm
At all
Not normal?
Take a stab
Ab…
In total
Not normal
When they were passing out brains
I thought they said trains
There’s already toys in my attic
Not really sick
The joys
Rearrange strange
Paranormal strain
Just a brain
Abby Somebody
Is that body me, Abby?

LYRICS
Are you going to mince our meet
Getting dicey with your words
How absurd
How to greet
Getting blurred
Our minced meet
Grind
Do you mind
Slice and dice
Realize pulverized
I find the grind
Pulverized realized
Real eyes
See me
Cut to the chase
Beyond two face

From the horse’s mouth
Never… on the 12th…
Of never
Ever life’s wealth

Playing For Change

admin — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 14:26:57 +0000

LYRICS
Only halfhearted is sometimes
Can’t get started with his rhymes
Whines he’s fallen on hard times
What’s he going to do
If he can’t think of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Afraid to give it his all
Afraid he’s going to fall
Stammer and stutters to stall
What’s he going to do
If he can’t think of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Going full throttle at all time
Strumming rhythms, spitting rhymes
Signs we’re coming on good times
Knowing what to do
Thinking of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Every Body

admin — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 19:58:55 +0000

LYRICS
Everybody,
Every body will lose their soul
Every sole
I took a stance
At first glance
I had to change my mind
The toll of immortal
Just wouldn’t be kind
My skin will wear thin
My heart might start
To skip a beat
Prone to bone…
Loss from head to feet
Looky there
Too late for my hair
Everybody,
Every body will lose their soul
Every sole

Playing With Matches

admin — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 14:07:09 +0000

LYRICS
I see you want to play with fire
Brought the matches to aspire
Spark into dark ignite
Add light for insight
Enlighten some
And sum
Then some sum

Brought the matches
2 of a kind
You brought to mind
Could be 3
I can see
4 maybe more
Batches of matches
Add the tip to friction
In a blip/flip ignition
Light then sum
Light and the some
Enlighten some
Elightensum

Blunder That Unstuck The Glue

admin — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 17:26:54 +0000

LYRICS
Wonder what we’re going to do
Blunder that unstuck the glue
I wonder what we’re going to do…
Do You?

The puzzle pieces in the feces
Square peg in your hole/whole
Indecision takes its toll
Fell to the spell of the troll

The animals now run the zoo

Does anybody have a clue

From the coop the cuckoo flew

The rainbow has lost its hue

Now your know what you never knew

Hurry, hurry stand in cue

Knockout! Not coming to….

Getting Real

admin — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 19:48:12 +0000

LYRICS
Why in he world
Is everyone asking
What’s the matter with me?
I’m growing old
But still i”m basking
Nothing better to be
Found the real deal
Young as you feel
Getting real

And, why on earth
Is everyone asking
“Can I have what he’s having?”
Ever since birth
Always I’m basking
Getting high on living
Found the real deal
Young as you feel
Getting real

For crying out loud
Don’t brag “I’m proud”
Better to fumble being humble
And for Christ sake
Rather give than take
Let love rain/reign from above
Found the real deal
Young as you feel
Getting real

LYRICS
Do you find it a little bizarre
Traveled too far from are
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Till will stands still
When turns to been
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Should of would could
Then can done did
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Glad to have had
The tune of soon
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Think that thank thunk
Can I think again
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

West Chester Infirmary

LYRICS
I went down to the West Chester Infirmary
Just to see…
Just to see what I could see
No, Doc, you know
I’m not ready to go
Just want to see…
Just want to see what’s wrong with me

I went down to the West Chester Infirmary
Just to see…
Just to see what I could see
Doc, am I alone
Fearing the moan
The woah and groan
Arghhhh I just want to go home

I went down to the West Chester Infirmary
Just to see…
Just to see what I could see
No, Doc, the pain
Suffering’s insane
Hope I’ll remain…
Hope I’ll remain to live again (a gain)

LYRICS
Hot in the moment
Heat up the minute
Ignition by friction
And then some
Parts adding up to more than the sum
Look out, Baby
Here we come
Look out, maybe
Overcome
Thrive on overdrive
Steer clear of mere
Add up to more than some
Add up to more than sum

Treasure

admin — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 20:38:16 +0000

LYRICS
I started my day
In the usual way
Lord, don’t let me stray
Got to bring home the pay
When much to my surprise
Right before my eyes
Was gold, frankincense and more myrrh
For sure, treasure
Meant for a king
Oh how i loved what the day did bring
Now, you can listen to my heart sing

I sing praise mother nature
For this treasure
Now, I’ve to the power
So I can endure
Concede you give me more
Than I ever need
Now, I plead
For the hearts that bleed
For sure, treasure
Meant for a king
Oh how i loved what the day did bring
Now, you can listen to my heart sing

Ate Hate?

admin — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 14:51:36 +0000

LYRICS
What exactly do you mean
That you ate hate
And threw away the lean?
It’s always been the fact
On his throne, the pig’s fat
The fascists’ zone
Disregard the marred

The devil is in the details?
If you’re talking entrails
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
It’s always been the fact
On his throne, the pig’s fat
The fascists’ zone
Disregard the marred
He’ll make you squeam and squirm
Slurping on a worm
Cold hearted death departed

Forget About #1

admin — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 14:45:09 +0000

LYRICS
My mama said
To get things done
Just forget about #1

Don’t look over your shoulder
Take the leap of being bolder

Once You’re out in the lead
Don’t look back and concede

Once you get all into hubris
That’s when you find nemesis

Follow your passion. Follow your dream
To the top you’ll rise like cream

In the morning, jump out of bed
Follow those dreams while they’re still in your head

Turned Green

LYRICS
You knew it coudln’t last
Living in the past
The light’s turned green
Moving on our scene
Did you miss the starting gun
Are you even trying to run
There’s no shame
In winning the game

You knew it wouldn’t last
Living in the past
The floodgates are open
Flowing past “still copin'”
Did you miss the starting gun
Are you even trying to run
There’s no shame
In winning the game
Even coming in 2nd place
Makes it worth running the race

Unhinged Binge

admin — Tue, 05 Mar 2019 15:53:14 +0000

LYRICS
What am I going to do
When there’s nothing left for you
Nothing left to chew
Left within our view
Will we come unglued?
Unhinged cannibal binge

What am I going to do
When there’s nothing left for you
Nothing in our stew
Not and ounce of brew
Will we come unglued?
Unhinged lunatic fringe

What am I going to do
When there’s nothing left for you
No substitute nor “in lieu”
Nothing does ring true
Unhinged morbid cringe
Unhinged cannibal binge

Don Quixote

admin — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 15:20:17 +0000

LYRICS
I am; therefore,
I am
There’s no sense fighting
Life is fleeting
So before completing
I’m in time

I can’t fight
Inanimate objects
No matter how much one objects
I see the light

I can’t fight
A system
Especially one I’m in
I see the light

I can’t fight
Chaos theory
Starting to see
More clearly
May I see the light
I see
I can’t fight gravity
Fighting friction is pure fiction
I can’t fight
I see the light

Trap Doors

admin — Sun, 03 Mar 2019 20:00:49 +0000

LYRICS
Careful of the floors
Hidden trap doors
Leading to secret corridors
Avoiding the horrors
BY testing the lures
Keep searching for more
Eventually can’t ignore
As the knowledge pours
Elixirs and cures
Freedom roars
Spirit soars
On the tours of trap doors
Voyeurs of wars and czars
Trapped beneath the floors
Under hidden doors
Know what’s in store
Listening to their clever endeavor

Just let me know
Know not the no

Confess

We’re good to go
We’re good to grow
Know not the no
Just let me know
Confess
The virt-you’s of yes
Dumbfounded blues
Will blow
The clouds’ shadow
New found
“Skies of blue(s)”
Letting in the light
Enlight
Insight

Just let me know
To love thy foe
Hate is let go
We’re in the know
We’re good to go
Just let me know
We’re good to go
Just let me know?
