Alright Already
Refrain:
Keep in sight,
We just might,
Be all right.
Alright?
All right!
Please… no, no, don’t lose sight,
Life doesn’t have to be that hard!
Why kick, scream n’ fight?
Life doesn’t have to be that hard!
You can [...]
Buy Some Time
Can I buy some time,
’cause I’m diggin’ this scene,
And, just reaching my prime,
So, can I buy some time?
What do you mean,
Mine is all spent?
I dunno where it went.
What can be found in McMurdo Sound?
I thought we’d go on forever,
Then, again…
Am I that different than a penguin?
Do they find it strange…
This climate change?
Wonder if they’ve read [...]
Sure Sore
Chorus
I’m not quite sure,
Why I’m so sore,
So, to myself I say,
“Hey! Didn’t think you could take any more?”
To which, I reply,
“Ahhh… so what,
I’ll endure.”
Though my heart does ache,
In [...]
So Precious
At the precipice,
If you’re asked to list,
What is precious,
Will it exist?
Buffalo stampede over the cliff,
Will you be able to resist,
The urge to head with the herd,
Will you concede your principles,
At the precipice,
What if?
Do you know…
At your precipice,
What’s sooo precious?
Will it proceed you,
Or disappear, too?
What will you leave behind?
Will you take it all with you?
The earth, [...]
Shut Up Shutting Up
You talk too much,
But, you sure look good:
“Better off thought a fool,
Than to open your mouth,
And, remove all doubt.”
Blabbin’ “this, that and some such,”
Are ya out of brain food,
Are ya an empty soul,
Did all your senses fly south,
Has your rational [...]
No (k)Not
Thought everything,
Was going fine,
’til I took an overview,
Of introspect.
What did I expect?
To escape what’s due?
So, I thought I’d sew,
A stitch in time,
And, fix that,
Which I call mine,
Pulling the needle through,
But… what?!!?!
The thread,
Has no knot,
Though I’ve racked my head,
Now I know,
There’s nothing,
I can do,
No. Not…
A single thing,
Within view.
Thought everything,
Was going fine,
’til I took an overview,
Of [...]
You Can Be
You can be,
After all,
You are.
You can be,
Total,
No more.
But, would yawanna,
Dwindle…
Lesser?
Who’d wanna,
Terminal,
Temper?
Don’t wannbe,
Dismal,
For sure.
Luckily, it’s easy,
For me to be,
Me.
I appreciate,
Being fortunate,
Won’t consolidate,
My love.
I reiterate,
It’s a great fate,
To procreate,
Our love.
You can be,
What you wannabe.
Been Carbon
Are you ready for some action?
What’ll bring ya satisfaction:
Some carbon composite,
Set in a golden ring?
Or, a certificate of deposit,
Baring interest?
Are you ready for gratification,
Why not spare the carbon,
From an inanimate thing,
Instead,
Before you’re dead…
Consider your very being?
After all,
You’ve been,
Carbon.
All your life,
You depend,
We all,
Have been,
A carbon,
Composite,
It’s our code,
Of living.
Why be catastrophic,
To allotropic,
Forcing uniform,
Forcing the norm,
Let us exist,
In [...]
Chaos’ Shadow
In the shadow of chaos,
Lots can be lost,
By all of us,
And, it’s not just…
A matter of things –
Our passion for possession,
No, the havoc it brings,
Runs much deeper.
(I can’t afford to be such a sleeper.)
Be forewarned,
Even remnants of an Asian storm,
Can blow you away,
On any ole day.
Be forewarned,
Once you’re airborne,
You’re airborne –
From land… torn.
Though it has [...]
Bad Astronomy
Bad astronomy,
Nooo… just can’t be,
Good astronomy,
Watching over me.
Brown dwarf?
Make me barf,
You can forget,
That old midget,
You can bet,
An odd object,
Is what you get,
Tightening the Kuiper Belt.
It was not too far,
It could be felt,
A passing star,
Perturbing Sedna.
Bumped from her area,
Thrown into hysteria,
Now she’s coming,
To our inner system?
An eclectic ecliptic,
An orbit… “messed” a bit,
Will the orbit’s girth,
Collide her [...]
