Here lies my words. Some of it makes sense, most of it doesn't.
But all of it comes from my heart and soul.

The light in the distance (1-26-8)

moving closer every hour
It's the sound of failure
It's everyone's fault
Don't care what you say
I know it's true
Down the clock we slip
Memories holding us together at times
Looking to others for help
Can't find satisfaction
No matter what we try
Has that January storm passed
At this speed it all could end
Even a yearning heart needs comfort
I try the best I can
Still counting on what I still know
Anticipation has got us spinning
It's coming after us
Headlights in the distance
Don't stumble on the wrong pictures and words
Otherwise regret sets in
And pain is felt when it shouldn't be
Don't sleep just to sleep
Feel it all come rushing in
It's a groove that needs wrestling
Even when time is sliding in uninvited
You could feel it all over
If you wanted

It's A Clever Antidote (3-10-8)

looking for that better land
here it's soiled with dark tart
afraid of what lies around the corner
It's a comfort so hard to attain
It's a love that escapes my grasp
Let me climb down from my ivory tower
A choice is coming
I hope you will see clearly Now
We are all a passenger in a fast car
It's not just about right or wrong
It's a king's game we are falling victim to
Gasoline dollars floating on by
Deception lingers in the air
blow out that candle sweet america
The wrong leader stands before us
Giving us a clevor antidote
Makes me want to sing a song from a better day
Broken fragments of a better day lost at sea

Here and Now (2-25-8)


It's so easy to run
To turn away and put it down
It's something we all do
Reality is so tough to face these days
So often Love is taken for granted
Rediscovering eachother is what we need
It's a sense of community we all long for
Hiding from the world gets us nowhere
A cloud of distortion hovers over us
lending us the fear that breaks us apart
It doesn't have to be like this
Love is all around
Just waiting to lift the sky above

Day After Day (2-14-8)


we've all been fooled
It's just a formality
You don't want to see it
I wish I couldn't
But hey You just gotta keep smilin'
Don't let them take your winter coat
And lock you in that nickel cage
Some of you know what I'm sayin'
Most of you think I'm lost on silly sauce
Oh no oh no
That's not what it is
I see what most try to ignore
I'm just hitchin' a ride on that information highway
And I'm not likin' where it's takin' me
I try to signal to get off at the next stop
The driver ain't givin' me my priviledge
It must be another riot act suspension
The mood in here has shifted
Another lost election
I'm afraid it's true
Was it you I saw still believing in a presidential word
Don't be so easily fooled
It's a game they make us play
A game of matrix
Some would say
Which pill are you gonna swallow?
Cover your tracks
And take cover
It's only getting worse
