A Beautiful Possession

A Beautiful possession has taken hold of me
It shakes loose the holds of disparity
 
An ocean blossom floated down to shore
Right as I was walking by
With all her beauty and waves of seven colours
Nothing so lovely should ever have to hide
 
A beautiful possession has taken hold of me
It shakes loose the hold of disparity
Everything’s beautiful my God can’t you see
It takes but a moment to forget it all and just be
 
There before the ocean is where I want to be
Such vast limitless antiquity
Humming my song to the heirs of the sea
Your eyes are so captivating

Chorus
 
Oh ahh ohh…
 
Waiting for me by the roadside’s tomorrow
My she’s so happy to see me
It’s been so long since we last spoke
Won’t you join us, my ocean blossom and me
 
Chorus
 
To forget it all and just be
To forget it all and just be
 
Oh ahh ohh…

 

Shadow Man

Big man big shot he ain't got what I got
No one controls this train but me
Hello thought-not the game's still a locked draw
Though I clearly have the lead
 
Big man big gun say that I cannot
Oh the sweet taste of the look upon your face
Shadow man shadow rat wished on a black mass
I can't help it if your shadow was burnt at the stake
 
I have already got it made
 
Big farce big laugh you better never turn your back
Hold your eyes open or else rip them out
Gunshot dawn brought the weaker man never saw
the thought
You won't find me dead in the crowd
 
Chorus
 
If only tomorrow wasn't a cliché
I could wake up and it would be today
 
Big man big shot he ain't got what I got
No one controls this train but me
Hello thought-not the game's still a locked draw
Though I clearly have the lead
 
Chorus

 

Distracted

Tomorrow's just a sunset away
California's just a couple of days
The road is clear I wish my mind was the same
Seems these thoughts can't be rearranged
 
I'm a little distracted
Running with shadows
A little distracted
Living in windows
 
The wind has learned the way of the sea
But the red cloud's the same and it waits for me
The road is clear I wish my thoughts were the same
Seems you just won't go away
 
Chorus
 
Tomorrow's just a sip away
California's floating today
What is clear and what is insane
Seem to meet somewhere in your name
 
Chorus
 

 

Son of the Circus

Immortality for everyone
You don't have to believe in a golden son
Seasons are different in electrical tape
You'll never run out and can never break
 
As far as I know your head is infinite
With love as air don't you want to breathe in it
Let go of sequence and you'll find existence
Don't need no walls or robes of eminence
 
Sail and satiate
Love's real estate
It's inside of you anyone who tries
Internalize
 
No one can tell you how to be free
It's something you pick up after years of dreams
There is no right or wrong
The closest thing to failure is being false
 
Sail and satiate
Love's real estate
It's inside of you anyone who tries
We're out for truth and nothing less will do
Will do
We'll do
Whu-hu
 
Time does frazzle through consequence
Of those who grovel in false prominence
 
Chorus

 

Here Is Today

Throw these clouds
Right outta my way
Throw my car
Into highway

This week is so long
Gotta keep moving
Don’t want my feet to get cold
But the rain is so soothing
Sometimes I see
The look in my eyes
You know I can’t help it
 
All there is is today
Don’t let it waste
 
You don’t know what you’re missing
If you ain’t ever seen the West
The solace silver mountains
At their best
Who knows how long they’ll last
As the Earth goes fast
To the hands of indifference
 
Chorus
 
I think I’ll move to the hill
I know at least I can’t get hurt
By the faces I see
And those I don’t
And I’ll be free to fly OH
On the wings of the night
Like a child with mother
 
Chorus

Ooh ooh…

 

Maybe It's You

Every now and then a miracle is seen
And I saw one in you
It might make you feel complete
Or it might make you feel like I do

Every now and then there is hope
That we're not lost and alone
We can see in the dark sometimes
And what scares us is in our minds
 
Maybe it's you            Maybe it's you
I've been waiting for
 
Every now and then there is peace
In what we feel and what we see
It's so hard to find a way home
When we are blind beaten and alone
 
Maybe it's you             Maybe it's you
I've been waiting for
 
Oh won't your eyes see
All the love I've been giving
You're still the kindest heart I can find

 

Lavender

I see you smiling from here
Through the dawn of the years it's all so clear to me
I wouldn't give it away
All the things that you say for yesterday
 
You are never alone
Someone's thinking of you
You are never alone
Someone's thinking of you
 
Take a ride down the street
And face what you think you need to see
I'll drive if you like
Let you just ride you know I only want you to know
 
Chorus
 
You are the hero
You are the one true key
You are the hero
In whom I believe
 
I see you smiling from here
Through all the fear we're finally home
I wouldn't give it away
No the person you've made is perfection
 
You can change the world
Change your head
To change the world
Change your head
Lavender girl…

 

Wild Cherry

I broke my gaze on a little redhead
Somewhere just south of town
Say what you will she jumped right outta my head
Shook my whole world down
 
Now there's a heart
Now there's a heart
 
Wild cherry
 
The open road is a sea of roses
Names turn to miles and miles to minutes
You know today is a celebration
Somewhere someone's head has something in it
Somewhere a hand has got one in it
 
Now there's a heart
Now there's a heart
 
Wild cherry
 
I broke my gaze on a smile in a window
Somewhere just outta reach
So I left it crippled on the sidewalk
And I began to breathe
 
Now there's a heart
Now there's a heart
 
Wild cherry

 

Who I Am

Let the music speak
Let the body breathe
Let your hand reach out for me
How could I turn away
 
When this is who I am   (4x)
 
Let the lyrics be
Let your sing
Flow out to me
How could I turn away
 
Chorus
 
Let your mind roam
To any old place it'd like to go
To set you free
How could I turn away
 
Chorus

Bridge

Chorus
 
Let the music speak
Let the body breathe
Let your hand reach out for me
How could I turn away
 
Chorus

 

Liar

The perfect day has passed me by but I'm still smiling
The yellow moon can't get me high still I'm smiling
So you think maybe I'm crazy or maybe I'm lost
Well I'm neither and both at the same time maybe I'm your thoughts
 
Liar
Liar
 
Leopard fur about your eyes I've seen it before
And your speech of rhymes is only an old dance floor
Your eyes are much like mine except I have no vacancies
Everything that I say somehow attacks your integrity
 
Liar
Liar
Liar
Liar
 
You know you should be a writer that would suit you well
Perhaps you've heard that fire has quite a sense of smell

Liar
Liar…

 

Six Days

Blue lights on the blackboard
From staring at the sun
There's always another oncoming car
When you're on the run

Take one last step
From off this pier
You better hope you see the bottom
As you disappear

Ah ah like a homemade god
You can't see what you are
What you are

Hey I'm your friend for life
That's what you said
Then you were gone save your smile
Leaving me for dead
 
Chorus
 
There was never a hold
For me to crawl to
Though I've tried
Hell is you
 
Chorus

 

Green

Look up to yourselves
See your shadows can’t hide
Everything’s in your reach
When you’re three hundred feet high

Green green save me
Help change what needs to be
Green green I believe
You’re what we need
 
Look out for ourselves
See your shadows can change the world
Every dream’s in your hands
When you’re unafraid of yourself
 
Sing sing and save me
Help change what needs to be
Sing sing I believe
You’re what we need
 
Bridge
 
Look up to yourselves
See your shadow’s strides
Everything’s in your reach
When you’re ready to fly
 
She she can save me
Help change what I need to see
She she I believe
She’s what I need
 
Please please save me
Help change what needs to be
Please please I believe
You’re what we need…

 

Sundown

Floating trees masking the subtleties of the crux
Instant tea of graveyard dreams circling never stops
Each new day passes away to rest in its grave and
Rise as flowers
 
Oh yeah
Sundown
And her
 
Blue bow skies wrap my eyes in compromise of velvet hours
Footprints of sand across your hand dawn of the stand today
Indigo tans on captured lands the fool's final chant for
Someday
 
Chorus
 
Burning away

Taste and fly and eyes open to the light
See sight explode and then reload to save the knight
 
Chorus
 
Woo-hoo-hoo!

Rise Up!

Woo-hoo-hoo!
