Until We’re Done

 

Dust in the wind, ash in the air

Blood in the mud

To wake from the dream, just be there

Upset by your love

 

We all know, what makes the soil so rich

Is it the bitterness, or is it just you’re shit

 

It won’t be done

No, it won’t be done

It won’t be over, until we’re done

 

Head to the light, given the choice

If you’re lost

Based upon your radiant bliss

It’s broken and dark

 

We all know, what makes the soil so rich

Is it the bitterness, or is it just you’re shit

 

It won’t be done

No, it won’t be done

It won’t be over, until we’re done

 

We all know, what makes the soil so rich

Is it the bitterness, or is it just you’re shit

 

It won’t be done

No, it won’t be done

It won’t be over, until we’re done

 

  

One Last Midnight

 

You're on your feet, marching in the street

You cry for justice, you scream for vengeance

But you should be pleading for mercy

You should fall to your knees and pray

 

Pray that you are set free to see

You're just a kettle, and pot lives matter

You're not special or entitled or deserving of more

You're just another stone in the cobbled road

 

Full of gravity, new opportunity

The garden glistens, in the moonlight

Delusion more beautiful, enjoy the petals before they fall

 

Pray that you are set free to see

You're just a kettle, and pot lives matter

You're not special or entitled or deserving of more

You're just another stone in the cobbled road

 

You horde for yourself, cram it in the cracks

I pray that you see in time, that your gold is only grime

All you're growing is moss, which will elevate you just enough

That you become a stumbling block, stumbling toes

 

The more you elevate yourself, the more you are pushed down

Brought back down to level with the other stones.

The wheel of time keeps us all in our place

It weaves us where it will

 

The stream flows down the mountain

Widens to a river and feeds the ocean

Some fool fish hide behind the rocks

They fear where the current will take them

 

Pray that you are set free to see

You're just a kettle, and pot lives matter

You're not special or entitled or deserving of more

You're just another stone in the cobbled road

 

Pray that you are set free to see

You're just a kettle, and pot lives matter

You're not special or entitled or deserving of more

You're just another stone in the cobbled road

 

  

Taken Away

 

I saw you lyin’ on your belly like a lizard in the sun

I saw you dancin’ in the rain under the veiled moon

 

You’re right on top of it

You're just not seeing it

The knowledge of what one has, of what one is

 

Sometimes I feel like a balloon

One stuck with a pin

And left lying on the floor, slowly wheezing

 

You’re right on top of it

You're just not seeing it

The knowledge of what one has, of what one is

 

You’re right on top of it

Can never be taken away

 

You’re right on top of it

You're just not seeing it

The knowledge of what one has, of what one is

 

You’re right on top of it

You're just not seeing it

The knowledge of what one has

Can never be taken away

 

  

Big Blue Sea

 

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; and we’ll see what we see at sea

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; and we’ll see what we see this season

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; our Big Blue Sea

 

There’s our siren, a mermaid against the waves

With a story coming in, there’s but a ray of Son

Trapped on her rock of soul survival

As though she’s forgotten how to swim

 

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; and we’ll see what we see at sea

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; and we’ll see what we see this season

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; our Big Blue Sea

 

Or is she just bathing in the warm glow

Of that single spot of light ray

A break in the thunderous turmoil

Separating her from brilliance above

 

Her hull cuts deep and her swath is wide

Regal and majestic

Full sail catching as much wind

As her three masts can handle

 

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; and we’ll see what we see at sea

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; and we’ll see what we see this season

Let’s go sailing on our Big Blue Sea; our Big Blue Sea

 

There’s our narwhal, struggling so hard to stay in pace

With the waves, but those waves are

Just the wake of a hard lived life

Let the waves carry you at least

 

How can the little ones, keep up with wake of the great

Mother ship unless it carries, them along

Propelling them faster

Than they could ever swim on their own


  

Go

 

I don’t gotta, tell ya what ya wanna hear just ‘cause your insecure

I don’t wanna, feed upon your drama, that will make me crazy some more

 

You keep saying you’ll try, I think that might be a lie

Some things never change, especially from the deranged

 

Well my head is splitting in two, ‘cause I’m so so over you

It’s been grating on my nerves, but I’ll tell you what really hurts, is that

 

Not one minute, go ahead and spin it, just the way you like to do

Feed my kitty, I’ll be sittin’ pretty, teaching you a thing or two

 

You keep asking me why, and I keep sayin’ goodbye

May I make an exchange, especially at close range

 

Well my head is splitting in two, ‘cause I’m so so tired of you

It’s been grating on my nerves, but I’ll tell you what really hurts, is that

 

I don’t gotta, tell ya what ya wanna hear just ‘cause your insecure

I don’t wanna, feed upon your drama, that will make me crazy some more

 

Well my heart is splitting in two, ‘cause I try to get over you

You’ve been pulling on my shirt, but you’re gonna get hurt

 

Go away, turn away; turn away, go, go, go; go, go, go

 

You keep saying you’ll try, but I know that is a lie

Some things never change, especially from the deranged

 

Well my head is splitting in two, ‘cause I’m so so over you

It’s been grating on my nerves, but I’ll tell you what really hurts, is that

 

Not one minute, go ahead and spin it, just the way you like to do

Feed my kitty, I’ll be sittin’ pretty, teaching you a thing or two

 

I don’t gotta, tell ya what ya wanna hear just ‘cause your insecure

I don’t wanna, feed upon your drama, that will make me crazy some more

 

Not one minute, go ahead and spin it, just the way you like to do

Feed my kitty, I’ll be sittin’ pretty, teaching you a thing or two

 

I don’t gotta, tell ya what ya wanna hear just ‘cause your insecure

I don’t wanna, feed upon your drama, that will make me crazy some more

 

  

The Two Become One

 

The one becomes two

Then the two become one

Without love; we just spin on our axis

 

The knot is tied, the bell is rung

The line is crossed, the line in the sands of time

 

Don’t draw lines, not in the sand

Maybe in the sky, certainly in the water

 

The one becomes two

Then the two become one

Without love; we just spin on our axis

 

Twists and turns, winds of change

One person or kid, one sibling at a time

 

The light’s not made, by what we do

Rather by what we’ve done

One family at a time

 

The one becomes two

Then the two become one

Without love; we just spin on our axis

 

The one becomes two

Then the two become one

A new one, so that makes three in love

 

Our love has changed the way I walk

Where I choose to walk

But it’s brought me close to you

 

The one becomes two

Then the two become one

Without love; we just spin on our axis

 

The wonderous light, between the lines

Truth between our lines; a ribbon in the heavens

 

Breanna and Seth, your adventure is set

The two become one

Have fun storming the castle

 

  

The Owl and the Pimpernel

 

What it’s like to be free, of the taint of her humanity

To remove the hood that kept her from seeing

Ships on a solid sea, peering so intently

The light it hides her shadow in silhouette

 

The pressure lies upon her

The Owl and the Pimpernel

 

She lays her head

On a talcum dusted pillow, her crown no longer on her head

She lays her head

 

Into shadows

As the fountain splashes colors on the aroma of a rose

Into shadows

 

What it’s like to be free, of the taint of her humanity

To remove the hood that kept her from seeing

Ships on a solid sea, peering so intently

The light it hides her shadow in silhouette

 

The pressure lies upon her

The Owl and the Pimpernel

 

She lays her head

On a talcum dusted pillow, her crown no longer on her head

She lays her head

 

Into shadows

As the fountain splashes colors on the aroma of a rose

Into shadows, into shadows

 

What it’s like to be free, of the taint of her humanity

To remove the hood that kept her from seeing

Ships on a solid sea, peering so intently

The light it hides her shadow in silhouette

 

The Pressure, lies upon her

The Owl and the Pimpernel

 

The Pressure, lies upon her

The Owl and the Pimpernel

 

  

Wake

 

I am shopping in a candy store just made for me

Happy as I eat my ice cream smiling in my sleep

I am flying up to heaven it’s a pretty scene

Back I come down onto earth and land upon my feet

 

Sinking, I’m falling

Blinded, I’m crawling

Heavy, I’m dying

You’re lying, I’m crying

 

Back into the air I tarry, floating on a cloud

Slumbering is really nice, I like it very much

Time to plunge into the ocean I can hold my breath

Soon I find I breathe in water just like all the fish

 

Screaming, I’m calling

Frightened, I’m bawling

Breathless, choking

Slowly, corroding

 

Dancing on my fancy feet I twirl upon the ice

Gently slipping all around as if I’m on a slide

See my face in a reflection, looking towards the skies

Staring back at me is me, but I don’t have my eyes

 

Sinking, I’m falling

Blinded, I’m crawling

Heavy, I’m dying

You’re lying, I’m crying

 

I’m Screaming, I’m calling

I’m frightened, I’m bawling

I’m breathless, I’m choking

You’re slowly, corroding


  

Carpe Omnia

 

He looks her way; it’s the only way for him

A path encircled; by the brush of a pen

 

All sounds fade away; just them for today

 

Seize all you can, you’ll never love like this again

Press while you stand, and use my guiding hand

Touch me, sense me, hold me ‘til the end 

 

She knows no other; she sings no other song

Held by his temptation; hungry for his charm

 

Seize all you can, you’ll never love like this again

Press while you stand, and use my guiding hand

Touch me, sense me, hold me ‘til the end 

 

They lie entangled; free from the noise

No more fear abounds them; no more life alone

 

Touch me, sense me, hold me ‘til the end 

 

No more fear abounds them; no more life alone

 

  

Whip and a Gun

 

She grew up quick; unspent potential

Gypsy pure and through

Heart is misconstrued, she’s coming for you

 

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

Enemy knights at the door

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

They bring their swords and armor

 

Future of love; bending to bow down

Tensing her strong jaw

Showing them their flaw, uncovering the law

 

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

Enemy knights at the door

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

They bring their swords and armor

 

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

Gypsy pure and through

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

Aiming straight at you

 

Sometimes it’s only a dream, that takes her to that place

A place where people are kind, a kind of fallen trait

Where traitors cease to exist, and end up in the ground

Ground down to nothing but dust, that she just blows around

 

Her lash is long; to punish mortals

Snap a stray into line

Give sight to the blind, it’s only a matter of time

 

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

Enemy knights at the door

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

They bring their swords and armor

 

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

Gypsy pure and through

Whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun, whip and a gun

Aiming straight at you

 

  

Skypark Gypsy

 

A short hour of slumber, she puts on her face

She waits for the show

She makes herself glow

 

Every song a new voice and story to tell

Every night a new choice and ghost to dispell - git on up, rise on up

 

She hums a new number, then tests it out loud

Seeing spirits overhead

She speaks for the dead

 

Every song a new voice and story to tell

Every night a new choice and ghost to dispell - git on up, rise on up

 

Alive in the hearts of men, she pays tribute

Heart beats on her drum

Ghost fingers start to strum

 

Feeling high with Skypark Gypsy

 

Every song a new voice and story to tell

Wisdom of ages and musical sages do dwell

Every night a new choice and ghost to dispell - git on up, rise on up

 

  

My World

 

My body burns, negatives up to 80

Eyelashes freeze, can’t seem to close my vision

They say just put a blanket on, but that doesn’t keep me warm

That cold place, I can’t forget the frost

 

The world, the world

He gives me the world on a silver platter

But the shapes are different so it doesn’t really matter

 

My world, my world

Triangles and ovals around

Circles and squares just bring me down

 

Your eyes are ash, what happened to, to the sparkles

I found them dancing on the surface of the sea beside the sun

You looked at me and saw warmth

But I wanted you to see light

I am the sun, and I am the moon

 

The world, the world

He gives me the world on a silver platter

But the shapes are different so it doesn’t really matter

 

My world, my world

Triangles and ovals around, circles and squares just bring me down

 

Memories, stick to me

Like a long rusty nail thrusted in to my temple

Body pours, onto the floor

So full of I remember whens, falling apart and spasming

 

Puddle brain, down the drain

It makes its way through the cracks

Heart is a mop and it don’t do jack

 

Smearing mess, spreading wet

My thoughts are leaking all over the floor

Everyone steps and spreads it more

 

How would I feel, cradled by the warmest wave

I wouldn’t need to grimace at the brightness of the sun

He would have eyes that would lock on mine, and I would lay there caressed

I wouldn’t drown, and I would not choke

 

The world, the world

He gives me the world on a silver platter

but the shapes are different so it doesn’t really matter

 

My world, my world

Triangles and ovals around, circles and squares just bring me down

 

My world, my world

Always get sick in February, at least I’m out of January

My world, my world

They tell her to sing about the pain, a beautiful song to celebrate

 

  

Hunted

 

All along the Tombigbee River

they lie in wait

Silent as a stone while they watch all the monsters

emerge from the lake

Curved and pointed blades of teeth

claws they shine like knives

Life or death, the chance to survive, fight or flight

 

Who is killing who

Hunter, prey or fool

Will you win or lose

 

All along the Tombigbee River

they lie in fear

Silent as a stone while the mammoth approaches

lingers near

It stops and looks up to the stars

breathes in the night

Life or death, the chance to survive

fight or flight

 

Who is killing who

Hunter, prey or fool

Will you win or lose

Who is killing who

 

It’s no easy feat to compete

Standing at 15 feet tall

I said it’s no easy feat to compete

Fighting against a wall

Who is slaying, who is breaking who

No escaping, penetrating you

 

Keep your head down low

If you want to keep it around

I said you better keep your head down low

If you want to stay safe and sound

 

Who is slaying, who is breaking who

No escaping, penetrating you

 

All along the Tombigbee River

they lie in wait

Silent as a stone while they watch all the monsters

emerge from the lake

Curved and pointed blades of teeth

claws they shine like knives

Life or death, the chance to survive, fight or flight

 

Who is killing who

Hunter, prey or fool

Will you win or lose

Who is killing, who is killing, who is killing who

 

  

Street Corner

 

You were standing at the corner on the phone

and I was looking down as you were talking to me

Breaking up this fine connection

Resurrecting past afflictions

 

I was sitting on the bed and what I read

With what you said you were down with being tied to one thing

Breaking up this love we had

What became of Sir Galahad

 

I remember when your kisses were oblivious

and you were down on being so alone

But that was your deception

Compromising my discretion

 

You had told me you were searching for a merging

of the souls that were down to earth and so alive

as we walked onto my Moon

Left me breathless in my room

 

There was no Knight here

although the promises were made

She was left with broken dreams

from a traitor who betrayed

Exchanged her golden Visions

for his Ballroom masquerades

Playing Charades with a blindfolded Maiden

 

What to do what to do what to do

this ships been tossed and turned by your monsoon

What to say what a day what a messed up way

 

Where do I go now

where do I go from here

My heart is broken and you're not here

 

I was thinking that you're winking left me sinking

feeling sick and down with all your sweet nothings

locked in someone else's ear

praying on those virgin tears

 

She is wide-eyed and like me such a dream

would save her falling down while you swept her up

giving her false expectations

till you meet your next sensation

 

There is no Knight here although the promises were made

She'll be left with broken dreams from a traitor who betrays

Exchange her golden Visions for his Ballroom masquerades

Playing Charades with a blindfolded Maiden

 

  

The Way You Used to do

 

We used to meet at noon for lunch

You’d eat mine and I would eat yours

We’d take a drive down to the beach

Look out at the sea and dream to sail

 

I’m not really sure when the dreaming became dull

I can’t remember when it turned out null and void

 

I want to feel again, your touch your skin

Look at me the way you used to do

I want to see again, your smile, genuine

Look at me the way you used to do

 

We liked dramatic stories told

Wide eyed worked up we would beg for more

Conversations became few

Small talk lingered in, hello how are you

 

I’m not really sure when the interest went away

I can’t remember when we started looking away

 

I want to feel again, your touch your skin

Look at me the way you used to do

I want to see again, your smile, genuine

Look at me the way you used to do

 

Do you ever think about the time we
never thought about the world
because we had each other

In the morning do you wake and
miss the kiss you used to get and
wonder if it’s too late
Well I do

 

Album 2


  

Come Into My Fray

 

Come into my fray

We can go walkin’

Do some shit talkin’

Some cyber-stalkin’

 

Come into my fray

Play the piano

Drink macchiato

 

We can ponder the darkness and light and the

day and the night and the black and the white, uh huh

Speculate on the ups and the downs and the

winners and clowns and the sinners with crowns, uh huh

 

Come into my fray

We can go giggin’

A lotta swiggin’

Do fancy jiggin’

 

Come into my fray

We’ll go bar hoppin’

Do some eavesdroppin’

 

When you see me crying

Girl there’s no denying

Things are terrifying

Pretty petrifying

 

I don’t wanna break down

Make a mess and somehow

Try to clean it up but

End up on the rebound

 

You can join my

Tangled

Battle

 

When you see me fighting

Petulant reciting

Maybe uninviting

There’s a silver lining

 

Come into my story

Elegant and gory

We can dance together

In our dirty sweatshirts

 

Beautiful

Disorder

Disorder

Disorder

 

Come into my fray

We can go singin’

A little swingin’

Copius grinnin’

 

Come into my fray

We’ll do some laughin’

Some photographin’

 

We can ponder the darkness and light and the

day and the night and the black and the white, uh huh

Speculate on the ups and the downs and the

winners and clowns and the sinners with crowns, uh huh

 

Come into my fray

No body blockin’

No fire walkin’

Only sweet talkin’

 

Come into my fray

Play the piano

Drink macchiato

Eat some risotto

 

Come into my fray

We’ll do some laughin’

Some photographin’

Maybe trespassin’

 

Come into my fray

 

  

She’s a Lie

 

Crimson lips she’ll lay upon you

Whisper words, enticing platitudes

Her touch is ecstasy

Make believe in your reverie

Heed the signs of luscious servitude

 

Oh, she’s a lie - Wings of the night

 

Perfect legs and hips adorn you

Subtle smile and arms to come into

Her kiss a fantasy

Make believe in your sanity

Heed these words of warning certitude

 

Oh, she’s a lie - Wings open wide

 

Stand up, turn around and walk away

Get out, out of her shadow play

Temptress, she’ll take your life away

Get out, out of her dark decay

 

Oh, she’s a lie - Wings to invite

 

Look all around her and what do you see

Beauty captivating so deceptively

Oh, she’s a lie - Wings of delight

 

  

Star Gaze

 

It’s gray

The clouds right above are

Moving

Across the open sky and

You say

You love the rain for me and you

 

Hey babe

Let’s get away from here and

Star gaze

We’ll catch a glimpse of heaven

Always

Together spending time with you

 

Kismet

Cosmos

We’re here, coast to coast

 

Look there

The swirling mists of timeless

Elsewhere

To help us gain our vision

Somewhere

Among the shore with me and you

 

Hold me

So closely

And I’ll be

Sweet and true

 

Hey babe

Let’s get away from here and

Star gaze

We’ll catch a glimpse of heaven

Always

Together spending time with you

 

Kismet

Cosmos

We’re here, coast to coast

 

Look there

The swirling mists of timeless

Elsewhere

To help us gain our vision

Somewhere

Among the shore with me and you

 

Hold me

So closely

And I’ll be

Sweet and true

 

Hey babe

Let’s get away from here and

Star gaze

We’ll catch a glimpse of heaven

Always

Together spending time with you

 

It’s gray

The clouds right above are

Moving

Across the open sky and

You say

You love the rain for me and you

 

Kismet

Cosmos

We’re here, coast to coast

 

Hey babe

Let’s get away from here and

We’ll catch a glimpse of heaven

Blue By You

 

It didn't take him long to realize

She had more than love within her eyes

Plans for him he couldn't know

Storms on the horizon, reaping what she sows

 

He say's

I know what you are saying is true

But convincing me is kinda like

Trying to pull my feet out of the mud

that grips my feet so tight

 

Holding me

Can't break free

Blue by you

 

Early on, she hooked him good

Love and relations, so misunderstood

Sucking him in deeper

Sinking slowly

 

He say's

I know what you are saying is true

But convincing me is kinda like

Trying to pull my feet out of the mud

that grips my feet so tight

 

Holding me

Can't break free

Blue by you

 

Cutting ties, one thread at a time

Sneaking off to quietly hide

 

Let me loose

I want to choose

How many clues

You’re really giving me the blues

 

No such luck she held him at bay

Leaving his exodus for another day

Looking though the binding bars

Trapped by passion

 

  

Sweet Paragon

 

Stop holding on

Let fate be done

The hourglass of life

It’s running out of time

 

Just carry on

Thy will be done

The icing on your cake

The road for you to take

 

You’ve seen this scene before

Walking in the valley of death

So, you cry, and you lie

On your bed full of roses

 

Slow moldering

Try anything

To keep yourself alive

Letting sole survive

 

Melody

Set you free

Harmony

 

Sweet paragon

Setting up a table for two

It won’t be long

Biding all your time for anew

Then you walk away, and you never look back

 

Find fireflies

To light your life

The shimmer of a star

No matter where you are

 

You’ve seen this scene before

Walking in the valley of death

So, you cry, and you lie

On your bed full of roses

 

Tread fruitfully

Spread truthfully

The story of a man

Who came to love again

 

So stop holding on

Let fate be done

The hourglass of life

It’s running out of time


Melody

Set you free

Harmony

 

Sweet paragon

Setting up a table for two

It won’t be long

Biding all your time for anew

Then you walk away, and you never look back


  

Falling Down

 

Always dreaming nightmares

Killing 'cause I'm so scared

Jumping out of windows

Diving down a hill

 

Breathing under water

Hiding from the cold war

Upon the surface

 

Melting underneath the sheets sticking to my skin

Spinning sightless mind of mine

Only knowing black

 

Shackled to a city bus

Making stops and spots I see

Over and over again

 

Falling down

I'm losing my connection

Falling down

I need some peace and comfort from the son

Falling down

 

Awake to face reality

Distant from normality

Another so-called day for me to find my way

 

And what is that supposed to mean

Confusion seems to do me in

Decision battles in my brain

 

Working takes the bigger slice of my pie of life

People test my patience

Drivers make me crazy

Accusations bear repeat repeating

 

Falling down

I'm losing my connection

Falling down

I need some peace and comfort from the son

Falling down

 

Blinded and lethargic

Belly feeling so sick

Stealing from my pockets

Stealing from my kids

 

Stuck inside a big maze

Lost in thick and gray haze

Bumping into bushes

Hiding in a hole

Picking pieces for a price, settling on a knife

Thumbing through the pages of

The story of my life

 

Coming up with fancy words

Rhyming never seems to hurt

Over and over again

 

Falling down

I'm losing my connection

Falling down

I need some peace and comfort from the son

Falling down
