"Deep Down In Dystopia"
You never saw this coming
You never saw this coming
Now did you?
I never saw this coming
I never saw this coming
I’m the same as you
Deep down in Dystopia
We wake to a brave new world
How am I to write a song I can sing?
In circles we are running
In bubbles we are cunning
Now what to do?
Yeah we keep on running
Yeah we keep on shunning
I’m the same as you
Deep down in Dystopia
We wake to a twisted world
How are we to find a song we can sing?
What can we sing?
We’re all feeling so alone
Locked down in our little circles
The algorithms buzzing along
Division it tries to bring
The news it keeps on coming
The topics they are flooding
Night and day
They keep us all a buzzing
With pushing and with shoving
A world turned grey
Deep down in dystopia
We wake to a brave new world
How am I to find a song I can sing
What can I sing?
We all are feeling so alone
Locked down in our little circles
The algorithms buzzing along
Division it tries to bring
But we’re not all alone
No we’re never alone
It’s just a dangerous dream
A misguided thing
An unwise dream
LEAD
You never saw this coming
You never saw this coming
Now did you?
I never saw this coming
I never saw this coming
I’ll give it to you
Deep in the Dystopia
Im waking up from this world
Help me to find a song I can sing
A song to sing
Ahhhhh

"On Mardi Gras"
How do we spend
The time we are all given here
What do we send
A world that is so full of fear
The struggles are real
At the start of a very long day
How long will it last,
What did we come here to say?
Now I look down
Shuffle along with the crowd
Where do I go
The noise it can be so loud
I read and I read
Struggle my way to some light
Retract from the fight
I fast from the world and I write
CHORUS:
What can I do, what can I see, what can i be here
(What do I have here to show?)
So much to learn, so much to see, let go of the fear
(Is there some truth I can know?)
Make use of time, step out of line, stand up and be clear
(It can be hard to let go)
Be Clear, On Mardi Gras
Let go of us, let go of them, let go of last year
(They say that all things must pass)
Watch what you read, watch what you learn, enter a new sphere
(It all seems to be moving fast)
Try not to judge, try not to hate, let go of the fear
(Gonna find me something that will last)
Be Here, On Mardi Gras
OTHER THINGY:
Look out now it’s Mardi Gros
Here we go it’s Mardi Gras
Seems every year I write a song
Sitting right here on Mardi Gras
My time to go inside, a warm place to hide
Siting right here on Mardi Gras
Dont get me wrong I used to go
Had me a 1000 beers or so
Really really did enjoy the show
But there are other things I want to know

Here In The Cave

Here in The Cave
Here in the cave
Where anything is possible
Here in the cave
Where everything is probable
Onto the screen, where would you like to go
Onto the screen, thinking makes it so
Outside it’s the same
Our limits are unstoppable
Outside it’s the same
Anything can be probable
Out from the mind, where would you like to go
Out out the mind, thinking makes it so
Here in the cave x8
Now comes the hard part to perceive
We are deep in the chorus
Garlic and humus, now I see
From the ether’s bounty
The parts they wait so patiently to show
Now this one comes from the robo man
Hardly a week old
This one comes from the robo man
Fast to the show
This one comes from the robo man
Check it out with Beau
This one comes from the robo man
My producer don’t (now) you know
They show
Back to the cave
Where anything is possible
Big green cave
Where everything is probable
Around the sun, at the stroke of midnight
Another run, let’s stop all the fight
Here in the cave
Robo
And now we’re back to one
This is the funky one……x 50 ;)

The Bridge Song

"The Bridge Song"
All through the paces
And all through the changes
What we sometimes think of as loss
Away from the patterns
It sometimes happens
We find a bridge we can cross
Yeah and we must cross
And so it happens
It sometimes happens
Into the funk we are tossed
And out of that squeeze
With not so much ease
A perennial tension is lost
Yeah and at great cost
We learn what we can, and stumble our way across.
We push through the blues(s), and stumble our way across
Our time spent in time
Make sense of the loss
And so it happens, it sometimes happens, we cross
Move On
There’s no room for the old stuff
Now Move on
Forgiveness for the debtors
Now Move on
They’re really just sleep walking
Now, Move on
Dont kid yourself, just rid yourself, Move on
Forgive for you, forgive for me
We all might be one in the end
So Move on
And in the end, it all makes sense, in the green room, im told, so im told
All through the pages and all of the stages,
Some wisdom at what we have wrought
We find a new day, we find a new way,
Look back on the bridges we crossed
And ones that we will cross.
We learn what we can, and stumble our way across.
We push through the blues, and stumble our way...across
We’re On
We’re On
We’re On
We’re On

Like A Sacred Shrine

“Like A Sacred Shrine”
Now, we all have grown so weary
Now, the Hatfields and Mccoys
Decades in the making, the tricks of the ego
Fanned by nightly news, we give away our joy
It’s on to us, we choose what we consume
It’s on to us, we have to make the room
Take our mind off the gloom
We choose what we consume
It time to clear the room
What we focus on expands in this life
Quantum physics makes the claim
Every mystic said the same
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he
24/7 news, we lay out too much rope
We give the power brokers much too much to claim
Consciousness is captured by a looping train wreck
It plays again and again, We’re all in part to blame
The solution is clear, guard the gates of your mind
Let go the fear, like a sacred shrine
It’s time to let it shine
We choose what we consume
It time to clear the room
What we focus on expands in this life
Quantum physics makes the claim
Every mystic said the same
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he

Only in my Song
Walkin around this lake i think of all the times I've wondered thru this town
i look for answers here and there, i pray and wait, but i don't here a sound
I pull myself together, fold my legs and sit here firmly on the ground
In days of old, the wise I'm told, they spoke of all the echelons of love
Agape at the top, then Filia, and finally Romantic love
But we form all these little tribes, and who has time for what is wise today
Who has time for what is wise today
Friends move on and are replaced by a song
So long, and i come undone
You moved on, and i write down this song
A time now long gone, and you chose to live only in my song
i look to the books, to the avatars, to the mystics and the seers of yesterday
i find that most were single, free, misunderstood even in their own day
Jesus says that no one marries in the afterlife anyway
Friends move on and are replaced by a song
So long, and i come undone
You moved on, and i wait for the dawn
A time now long gone, and you chose to live only in my song

Numbers
I take the world as it is
I take the world as it is
No one ever finds it in the world
I take the world
1234567, 12345
1234567, 12345
12345678, 123345
1234567, 12345
I see order in all there is
I see order in all there is
No use rearranging all the world
I see order
We’re back to the second chorus
We’re fooling round with the math
We’ll add it in this circus, in not time flat.
Somebody said in 13/8
And yeah my friend, that was that
Now what kind of world rhymes with all that
With all that…
