Lyrics
I see a pattern, a lantern
In your wing as you pass
Maroon splattered green
Advanced brain, no gain
You hold the grace and poise
No thanks traffic, loose pants elastic
Chorus:
What style in your senses
Prioritized graces
It’s not just your flight I’d try
It’s your gift and your sight
Your instinctive light
A bit of soul makes us cry
Perched there, a Tuesday
The highest spot around
The sky is dotted, clouds allotted
Let me not defend along
These lines to mend
The teachings of so many steered wrong
Your vision, a symbol
Majestic and nimble
A living dance for us all
Repeat Chorus
Your distance
Is anew today
Your intention fueled by fear
We use each other grandly my love
But I have another gear
I found this book on caring
For humans you don’t even have to know
It says no one wants to suffer
Even your enemies are in this row
Chorus
Better sing it out
Instead of holding in
A breath inside the secret here
Too late now to forgive the child
The one alive in you
Serenity for the win
I love you and I hate you babe
So I didn’t sleep all that well
I long to love you in the way that we allow
Embraced in the moment from within
Repeat chorus
Life’s a game she said
But I prefer a river
The flow reads forward
Less contest smooth ocean glass sliver
Come away with me now
Love can tear
We heal through the sludge of time
Palms slip and then tumble
Catharsis from a rhyme
Do I even exist if I heal this pain
Maybe just maybe, it’s time
To Evolve
Chorus
Hands clean off my neck
I’m alive to the season
Meaning the now, the day,
A time and a reason
If I’m to find this thing
They say’s within my soul
Maybe just maybe
It’s time to evolve
Lights on high again
In this hopeful search for self
Mindful jaunt to travel
A window to my health
Perhaps for now
I’ll just wedge it up high
Crossroads for now,
Gonna choose to fly
Repeat Chorus
Watching from the hole I’m forced
Ignorance abounds
The air has turned to nasty
And it’s gumming up my frown
If shattering our compass
Is the strategy du jour
Then I’m hoping for an elixir
Creating my own lure
Your hatred is so sexy
When you prove your worth so clear
A whitey ‘Mericana imbued with all that fear
Point your finger stiffly
At the face you cannot like
Your all too thin beauty
Proving all too uptight
Chorus:
So like the Hokey Pokey
A dance I know you shout
Put your right hand in and shake it all about
All your fear will just pour out
I see you on the TV
And you’re stoking up some hell
A man walked past your lawn jockey
A villain you can tell
Entitlement like yours
Leaves baby as a mark
A truth I know and you’ll learn soon
Your bite is just a bark
Organic relaxation
For the simplicist of hicks
Go deep to find your sexy, Karen
Not sure how many licks
Repeat Chorus
Oh the lessons in his scolding
The shame in his ride up
Evil eye, the spittle,
a fist-bump for the chump
Cubicle nation
Florescent in the skin
Your boss’s trigger finger
Gonna blame you for his sins
Chorus
Freedom has a cost
Play the dollar slots at least
Top Man needs you fired
His foul and soiled sheets
In your snark
I abide you
Grow smaller in your glow
Today is so much like you
A steeper task to hoe
London fog a callin’
Thick without a clue
The lions end up missing
Bit the keeper man in two
Repeat Chorus
He chips away a sculpture
A chunk beneath you knee
You cannot move forward
Hear the snicker, so much glee
He speaks of so much riches
Calls you buddy cuz he’s hip
Small sacrifice investment
Here take another sip
Repeat chorus
I see you running like a bat out of hell
Good Humor Man and his truck
A girl in want of a cool summer taste
I hope this guy has enough
Then you’re growing
And I see you slow down
That selfish shrapnel too deep
You take it with you and the Winters are cruel
And now there’s nothing to reap
Chorus
Tell me child
Is it warm where you are
And I’ll know peace rests your eyes
If only we could’ve skirted the dark
A better life could arise
New Jersey highway
And you’re driving too fast
The cold in view in your breath
You laugh cuz all of this
Could end in a flash
They’d say we knew we’d not last
When you left
I couldn’t laugh for awhile
It seemed to go down with you
But if you’re listening
I want you to know
The joy of you comes through
The joy of you always
Lonesome Moon
I aimed to mend
But time and you stayed cold
Threads sheet bare, of course unfair
So cut from the mold
Chorus
If I die before July
You have to come by
Say well, merry well
Have a nice ride
Have a nice ride
Swing shift
Can of corn
Light me aglow
Your eyes for him
You knew I’d see
It had to be a show
Chorus
I miss the roll-about
We had that night
Kills me from top below
A Meteorite
If I die before July
You have to come by
Say well, merry well
Have a nice ride
Heart slashed
Reflex, insinuate
Burned down
Love lost, you balked
Called scared, no sound
Repeat chorus
Soap Box Tower
From this here flame
I think it’s been an hour
So let’s do it again
Come hither sorrow
As long as your real
The cost is steep regardless
No matter which pill
Chorus
The one goes IN, is meant for Love
The one goes OUT the Sea
His life got dirty
When his fear turned to spite
Put lots of lives in danger
To prove he was right
What the F is happening
If we ain’t got a spine
It’s time to address ugly
Behind that line
Repeat Chorus but add
The one goes IN, is meant for Love
The one goes OUT the Sea
The one goes IN, is meant for Love
The one goes OUT for ME
Is it just a period
Where apathy rules
White elephant on your conscience
No air for fools
How about we go halfway
And agree on the sun
An all so simple grateful
We can all lean on
Repeat Chorus
