The Existential Truth
We are all part of this moving wheel
Small cogs in a massive machine
Blind…unable - to see the road ahead
Just trying to make some….. Some sense of it!
Trying to make some sense
To understand the world
And what it is
And what the fuck it all means
The universe…and its mysterious magnificent’s.
Radiant energy courses throughout you
Your soul and senses guide you
On this journey, this gift, this adventure….called life!
It’s your life, it’s my life and it’s ours
We belong
To this time and place
Time is now and there is only the future
Quick, grasp on, to–the-morning-sunlight
Daylight’s fleeting before it’s begun
Stretch…your-imagination-skyward
It’s much bigger than you can…comprehend!
What little is known
All of its complexity
You’re naïve to think you got it all worked out
It’s just beyond…….just beyond
Embrace the dark night…for it equals suns light
Affix your gaze… to where… no eye sees
Solus…silence…obsidian-skies-stars light
The Mysterious beauty … of the…jet-black-night!
The dark night
Absolute brilliant blackness
Nothing to be afraid of
Envelopes your body and embraces you
Release the rocks that you’ve clung to
Set your spirit adrift on celestial seas
Fears released that restrain you
Gravity-may-impede-the body, but…not the mind!
Expand your knowledge
Be creative…Not destructive
For the forces of the positive
Or the negative
Open your eyes…you can see it in the stars
Listen…. You can hear it on the wind
The air is saturated with it’s taste and smell
Throughout your body and within your soul
You know it’s the truth
You can feel it, see it, hear it, taste it, smell it
It’s apprehendable, indisputable, and undeniable
It’s existential….The existential truth
You know it’s the truth…. The existential truth
Tangible…. Existent…Presence
The existential truth
The existential truth
We are all part of this moving wheel
Small cogs in a massive machine
Blind…unable - to see the road ahead
Just trying to make some sense
Misanthropy
Go take your filthy hands
And go wash your shit
Carelessly down the sink
The water goes on downstream
To where the… people drink
It’s only human naturrrrrrre
Poison the water…then drink it on up
It’s only human naturrrrrrre
Consume or be consumed
Devour everything
Eat it up and spit it all out
What you don’t consume…You

You dream of the dread
As you soil your own bed
From all the toxins you’re fed

Crooked fingers clutch the money

Politian’s possess the powers
To enslave the souls
Infecting minds with falsehoods

Catharsis
There is nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
That folks don’t criticize me
So I wrote this… song…for you
I really don’t like you
I’ll say it to your face
You’ve infested my home
With your negative tone
And I don’t like you
You’re the worst kind of coward
The back talking fool
You’re a waste of good time
I give this negative rhyme
That I don’t like you
You’re the verbal rapist
The disrespectful disgrace
Remove your face from my face
And get out of my place
Cause I don’t like you
I suffer your insecurities
Purvey your poisonous pills
Necessitate your bad will
You’re the ill of all ill’s
And I don’t like you
I really mean it
I know you don’t like me
And I really
Don’t like you
Rationalizing Blues
Dictionary describes it; to reason away
A means to justify ones actions with a sugar coated lie
Call it what you want. Rationalize…
I pocketed those pencils; school didn’t need them anyhow
They got plenty of them; they don’t cost anything anyway
Obscured explanation. Rationalize…
I took his money; I just know he cheats on his taxes
If I didn’t take it; Government would have anyways
Reason what’s right. Rationalize…
The fabric of truth integrated with a coarse thread of lies
The deceptions lay hidden, tainted reason disguised
Don’t be fooled by misconception. Rationalize…
My fist met his face; smash that look of irritation all away
Judge and jury served, without hesitation or delay
Aggression answers reason. Rationalize…
I fucked his woman; bring a little sunshine to her soul
He never took care of her anyhow; Cared for himself
Her and my needs met. Rationalize…
People, people, peoples, I know you all rationalize
Each and every one of you, unwittingly, Fabricate the lies
You convince yourself anything. Rationalize…
Government instructed me to kill them
Provided with the means and the cause
Told what’s right and taught to kill
Messenger of death… by will of god
Authority dictates reason. Rationalize…
[12 bars] solo lead guitar
You convince yourself anything. Rationalize…
Don’t be fooled by misconception. Rationalize…
You can criticize the creature
Both the sermon and the preacher
Rationalizzzzze
There You Are [Souls First Meet]
There you are
Here I am
Strangers
Cross pathways we stand [stand, and, and]
[And I say]
Hello.
How are you?
What’s your name?
Where you come from?
Want to know.
Where you go?
What you do?
Where you going to?
You do not see.
It is me.
Passing you.
Through crowded streets.
You are you.
I am me.
We are we
And I see that……….
There you are.
Here am I.
You don’t know me
As I’m passing you by. [By, by, by]
[Eye meets eye]
Are you friend?
Are you foe?
Full of fight
Will or woe
Are you mean?
Are you bad?
Are you happy?
Or sad
Intelligence
Or Ignorance
Do you sense?
My presence.
On this Day
Or this night
That we sight
And I see that
There You Are.....
[Backwards guitar solo]
There we are
Passing by
When souls first meet
Glance eye to eye [Eye, I, I]
[I wonder why]
Are you shy?
Or are you bold?
Fiery hot?
Or frigid cold
Negotiate the stare
If you dare
With smile or frown
Look up or down
With meek or might
Brave or fright
Wrong or right
We sight insight
Do you believe?
What’s your belief?
What you perceive.
Can you conceive?
This soul of me
Meets soul of you
Choose what to do
When you face
Up to the face
Our senses race
With souls in chase
And bodies grace…
This I to eye
This you to I
Passing you
By and bye
At this time.
In this place.
Feet to pace
We Face to face
I see you
You see I
On crowded streets.
Our eyes meets eye
It is me
That you see
Be or be
We are we
Eyes meet eyes
You meet I
I meet you
Choose what to do
Look away or stare
This way or there
Souls Passing by
The Spirit’s fly
At this time.
In this place.
Feet to pace
We Face to face
I see you
You see I
On crowded streets.
Our eyes meet eyes
Run way with me
Run way with me darling for fields afar
My souls become restless, my bodies a fire
Run like the devil, through grasses we race
Star lit and moons light shine down on our face
Caressed by clover, quenched by the dew
Stars bare witness, make sweet love to you
Run way with me darling for fields afar
Swim way with me sweetheart, the wild sea awaits
Freely like children, we play with the waves
Bodies suspend weightless, souls with the sea
Gentle the waters surround you and me
Sensuous the saline, swayed by its grace
Two become one within its embrace
Swim way with me Sweetheart, the wild sea awaits
Fly way with fair woman, crossed wind, air and space
Feet free of ground, cloud at our face
Swiftly crossed landscapes, flash over great seas
Suns light arrival, as darkness recedes
Time moves backwards as forwards we race
Bourne to the skies and destiny we chase
Fly way with fair woman, crossed wind, air and space
Run way with the girl with the sun in her smile
Her eyes speak of stars light, soul of the wild
Your hand in my hand we break from the crowd
Free from the madness that humanity has allowed
Journey awaits us, our pathways aligned
Life’s an adventure of the heart and the mind
Run way with the girl with the sun in her smile
Run way with me darling for fields afar
My souls become restless, my bodies a fire
Run like the devil, through grasses we race
Star lit and moons light shine down on our face
Caressed by clover, quenched by the dew
Stars bare witness, make sweet love to you
Run way with me darling for fields afar
Run way with me darling for fields afar
Swim way with me sweetheart, the wild sea awaits
Fly way with fair woman, crossed wind, air and space
Run way with the girl with the sun in her smile
Run way with me darling for fields afar

The Song About The Song
I’m standing… Here before you
To offer you…The Song
Really-don’t-care…if you like it
The reasons right…..or wrong
Going to rise…. rise…high
Fall back down to low
Just standing…. Here before you
To capture and release…this time
The-beats-that-I-bare…rhyme to rhythm
The rhythms write…the rhyme
Going to rise…. rise…high
Fall back down to low
I stand…. Here before you
To cant these words I’ve wrote
The words that I wrote…lull to rhythm
Chord, color, line…. and note
Going to rise…. rise…high
Fall back down to low
I’m standing… Here before you
To offer you…The Song
Really-don’t-care…if you like it
The reasons right…or wrong
