Eyes Of God
We are the eyes of God, but more complicated
In paradigm, Perception dated
We’re Separate While Conjugated
Its Juxtaposed when contemplated
We are the Heart of God, the ventricle
nerve synapsis Tentacles
Glass Half full and cynical
The atheist The biblical
Every life another choice
On guide waves A sense of Poise
and elegance or to rejoice
in consciousness to birth a voice
Unique in nature
Connected to all that has
happened and will.
Athirst for it still.
Chasing the paper
Or quality even a
rat wears his face.
Despite your distaste
In love or in Hate
We’re made of the same
Stars
What if we’re all just
Particles driftin’ on a guide wave
If we have to then I think we must
Get with the nature of the wave
Before we dissipate
We are the teeth of God, Cut like a knife
In love and peace, In pain and strife
The will to live, The wish to die
Insert the blank to roll the dice
Those born again, Those spoke in tongues
Those baptized, These hymnal songs
Them 9 to 5, Them working men
Thieves in the night, Pigs in their pen
Disharmonious
Yet it seems to fit
Through the looking glass
Water to the mouth
Get this fire lit
Gotta keep it new
Classic is the shit
Looking to the past
Dwelling in the now
The future never gives

Jesus H. Christ

If you're not on the ladder
Then brother you must be underneath the bridge
If it exists on a plane then it's given a name
It it resists just a ghost in the mist
The only certain thing is that it's never ever gonna' quit
Little boy, you don't know what pain is
Better yet, you're going to fret a fickle life away
But to you and the saints and the sinners and the thieves
May you all keep on with the "Doing what you please."
May you all keep on!
From the people in the morning to the people in the evening
From the old Rasputin to the Jesus H. Christ
Never Say Die!
Well you know you've reached a dead end state
When you don't know what to do with the blessing of a brand new day!
Your horizon's in the rear view mirror my dear
Won't you put it in reverse and once you get it into gear.
Hit the gas and find out what the Hell it's got to say!
(Hook)
If you're not on the ladder
Then brother you must be underneath the bridge!
There's not a soul around here to which the end it doesn't fear
Some lovin' on the Jesus others drinking all the beer
Nobody's got a clue so we just go along with it.

Take Another Drag
03:23
|

Take another drag
Stare into the moon
Watch the clouds drift pass
Embers fade to ash as you write another tune
Sip another coffee
This conversation's done
While you're drowning your biscotti
There's nothing new under the sun
Underneath the stone
You can find the answer
But lonely you will grow
A deaf amidst the banter
Down the hatch again
I need another whiskey indeed
Won't you fill it to the brim?
Cheers to thoughts no yet conceived.
Are we reflections of the past
Or just the shadows that it casts?
Take another drag...

Conscience Clear
02:41
|

I'm clearing my conscience
I'm talking simple like Amish
And when you music is honest
I'm shoutin' "Mission accomplished!"
Can we consolidate all this?
This unintelligible garble
Another ego to swaddle
Another model to coddle
Projected hero to follow
Come let us scroll as we wallow
In jealousy and denial
Ignore the scum on the tile
They like to call it senile
Check out my cats and my style
A homicide with no trial
And even though we goin' fight them
The biggots never indict 'em
Between the regal and righteous
Give them a spark they goin' light this
But we don't need all this violence
An #ELEPHANTINTHEROOM
Has got be singin' the blues
And now I'm reading the news
An obstacle to remove
Let's keep it local and active
Label respect as attractive
Repeat it over and over
In fact we've got to keep at it...
List of addictions to sever
Gotta keep it steady as ever
I'm talkin' ready for never
Gotta make it better and better
Enlightenment of a cheshire
And a little luck of the rabbit
You know we're all on this planet
Some only rape it and trash it
Begets perpetual sadness
It's like we need all this madness
Can we be ready for action
When Love is only a fraction
Of what we need for refraction
This paradigm full of passion
When shallow hearts are in fashion
You can call me crazy
When I hold the door for a lady
And work when no one will pay me
Speak of kindness to greatly
It's not a "kind of" or "maybe"...

Please forgive the captain
He's been drowning in Everclear
He tried to get me to take the helm
But y'all know I don't steer
It's the end of the world
I'm over here like #yallweird
You're chasing the girl
I'm over her like pour me another beer.
"Dum Dee Dah"

Jeremiah/Caroline
04:04
|

Jeremiah was a preacher
A conscious man and avid reader
Pats a brow with a handkerchief
Stained glass glow was the cause of it
Just a business-basket-pass
He had every intention to give it back
I mean this cat was a Saint, you know?
A perserverant heart that rivaled Dave and Job
His sermon flowed like Mos Def
"New World Water"
Fuck a teeter totter
Never glutton
Straight as a button
And when you're fussin'
He'll keep you off the 'Tussin
Just lovin' not above you
Now I know I said that Jeremiah was
And not that Jeremiah is
Because we shot him yesterday
That point was hollow-tipped
And you might miss that point of view
Because it's not the same Lord you're praisin'
Or Hannity's the PROD and you're the cattle just-a-grazin'
On some chemical reconstitution
Thrice diluted convolution
Never strive for restitution
What makes up the drugs you're using?
Sorry I'm so serious
I hit you with some real shit
Swag is just the confidence
To speak your mind despite this bullshit
And it's all just bullshit anyway...
Everybody's got something important to say
& everybody's got something important to do
But when you see it through
The end it proves
That it's all just bullshit anyway...
Caroline never saw the sunrise
Never heard a bird cry
Only knew a mushroom sky
And the shrapnel in her eyes
Shattered glass petrified
But to you she's just another line
In a publication Time
We learn from a spoon fed
Television set
Innervision let go
From this life fueled by regret
READY SET BLOW!
Caroline was only two years old when we dropped that bomb!
Civilian Quintillion Messiahs
Can't save us from a handful of liars
and 314 million hamburger buyers
They're self righteous
And we like it!
Like a bully in the sandbox
Takin' all the nice rocks
Feelin' up on Goldielocks
Smokin' all the bears' pot
The have and the have nots
Never saw it coming.
So watch it from the sidelines
Caroline disintegrate to nothing!

Spoke in Tongues
05:01

I have been baptized
I've spoke in tongues
I've stared down the barrel of a gun
What have you done?
I have worked in the sun
I've sweat and bled
(And not a single second do I regret)
Till long after it was set
What have you done?
I have been in the right place at the right time
When you walked in
The Earth stood still and the Angels fought a smile
They hadn't felt like that in a while.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
I had words with the Elephant In The Room
He said look inside
You'll find every obstacle to remove
To go where you're going to
Won't you go where you're going to?

Dinner w/ Friends
05:11

Every single song doesn’t need a hook
Read a book. Take a look around.
Everyone’s a crook.
Leaps and Bounds.
Coulda Woulda Should I
I don’t wanna be that guy
Semper Phi Marine Child
Camp Lejune it’s been awhile.
I try man them understand
Everyone's a fellow man
Bottom to the 1 %
Everybody’s livin’ in sin
While they grin IT”S A SCAM!
The nation is the castle
and the Fed is the sand. I ran
From tanks in my dreams last night
The neighboorhood was locked down
This happens all the time.
They’re coming to take me away!
Catch me see in’ rojo
Not chokin’ like Romo
Synonymous with Mojo
Infinity like ocho
Trippin’ in the Dojo
Judo Chop
Never a flop
Slow and steady
Destination’s the top
Catch me off the chain
Catch me out the box
10% of brain
That’s a limit you can kick rocks
Let’s excel
Let’s repel
This negativity they deal
Let’s address
Circumvent
Crooked legislation to repeal
We are the sovereign
We are the government
Education with the
means to empowerment
Freedom’s not a steal
It takes a lot of juice to write about how a beat makes you feel

Feel Good
03:31
|

I just want to make you feel good
Could you smile for me?
You know I wish you would.
And you should.
I'm not much for telling people what to do
But if an uphill climb has got you feelin' blue
Just say au jus
Won't you let me carry that weight for you
When gravity you cannot diffuse
Let me imbue you to undo.
About Nothing!
So much ado
An obstacle we tend to over-value
Rebuke the residue
