The New Year Mad Math Method.mp3
LYRICS
Why do we countdown on New Year’s Eve?
When I think of time, it’s hard to perceive
10,9,8….
Wait!
How much time between now and the end of 13
2013 364 23 59 50, 51, 52….
2014
Know what I mean?
Burst onto the scene
The New Year’s Queen
The first moment
Of the first minute
In a new time rhyme

LYRICS
I like crawling into spaces
I like making funny faces
You like sending out tracers
Attempts at erasers (erasures)
I like writing little songs
I like figuring right from wrong
You like acting too strong
Weighing down hard and long
Who knows maybe faces and song
Will help us all to get along
We could be twice as strong
And, save our human races
… leaving some traces

Sun Songwriting
LYRICS
Fusion
Confusion
Solar energy
The sun
No matter our distortion
Can’t help the synergy
No matter our destruction
Devastation, eradication
Let the light shine
It’ll all be fine
Just let the light shine
We’ll all be fine
Fusion
Confusion
If the nuclear
Is not clear
You’ve got Fusion Confusion
The sun
Ra, ra, ra
God of the sun
Ray, ray, ray
Which either way you say
Ra, ra, ra
Ray, ray, ray
Whichever way you say
Ra, ra
Ray, ray
Golden
God
The Sun
Turning the plants on
To being green
The sun
If you know what I mean
(Their fill of chlorophyll)

LYRICS
Quite enough to hear a pin drop
Right before your bubbles pop
If it’s so loud you can’t hear yourself think
Do a mind meld and we’ll link
Let it be found…
You’ve become one with the sound
Quite enough to hear a pin drop
Right before ya blow your top
If you lead a horse to water and can’t make ‘em drink
Give a smile, a hug… a wink
Let it be found…
You’ve come around

Old Fashioned Christmas Songwriting
LYRICS
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Recipe for a gingerbread house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Stockings hung by the chimney with care
Something about roasting chestnuts there
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Dashing… ore the fields we go
Don’t forget the mistletoe
Do you know
How does the saying go?
We three kings of orient are
Do you see what I see… follow the star
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Rudolph with your nose so bright
With a tail… a tail as long as a kite
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Oh, holy night
May all your Christmases be white
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Songwriting Inspired by Icicles
LYRICS
The water was dripping
Changed state now is forming
An icing
Of icicles
Jack Frost is nipping
The temperature dipping
Sub-freezing
Gives chills
Zero and dropping
With no sign of stopping
Bone chilling
Icicles
Winter spectacles

LYRICS
Basically alkaline
Basic alkaloid
Filling the void
Basic acid
Acidic
If I did acid…
Like vinegar
Alkaloid I’d…
Basically if I…
Basic basically
If I enclose and expose
Enclose
If I enclose and expose
In tight quarters
And, expose them to each other
Creating the void
Alkaloid, basically
How long would it be
Be… before
They explode
The motherload
Explode
Bass an alkaloid

Distortion Pedal Level to 10
LYRICS
Pardon me,
I hate to interrupt
But, ya see
Please turn the distortion up
With passing years
Escalation of fear
I want to hear
Through distorted ear
Our solution
De-evolution
Through pollution
The irony
Of the social tyranny
Is killing me
The way we inflict our will
Shouts out kill, kill, kill!

Just sitting here
Deserve nothing
So thankful

Overflow
The overflow
… so go with the flow

Don’t ever question it
This is the sh%$! ?
The territory of the authority
Derogatory in authenticity

Offering salvation from damnation

Parting of the Seas Disease.mp3
LYRICS
Parting of the seas disease
Do you think you can command God
You’re the boss and She’s on the job?
Oh please,
Parting of the seas disease
Are you sure
You wanna F&$% with Mother nature?
Are you really that special
That you’re the cure-all (for all the ill that ails)
Or just a spiritual sleaze
With parting of the seas disease

The way
The night turns to day
Day to night
Night to day
Dawn to dusk
The cycle of lust
Winter solstice
Summer solstice
Equinox
Sly as a fox
In the clothes of sheep
Lion… lamb
Do I know who I am?

LYRICS
Headed out
On a slippery slope
No doubt,
Going to need some hope
Less I look the dope
And, slide where there’s nowhere to hide
Get a hold… cope?
I already tried
Whether it’s decline or incline
I’m inclined
To decline
An invitation to devastation
Holding on tight
With all our might
Hold on long enough
No matter how tough
Everything will be alright
