WORLD SPINS
The world spins so fast it makes me dizzy
To fall down is to fade away
Hallowed today but gone tomorrow
Try to find the future, lost yesterday
Everybody’s got a dream they live for
Everybody wants the life they choose
But it only happens for the high and mighty
You can’t join the club but you can pay the dues
And the world spins around…
Nobody looks nobody listens
Apathy is king when you look outside
Brain dead propaganda leaves few impressions
Just passing interest quick to subside
Now and again I try to smell the roses
Their scent is masked by formaldehyde
Where is the beauty in this bleakness?
At the shopping mall for nineteen ninety-five
And the world spins around…
And the world keeps spinning me around…
The world spins so fast it makes me dizzy
So you’ve got to hold on to what you find
And if you choose well and get a little lucky
When you see what you’ve got you might not mind
Round round round keep spinning me around…

OUTRAGE
Settled into cold comfort
Inertia to impotence
Disappointed disaffected
Bitter and numb
A Tower of Babel
Built on the bruised
Look around look around
Outrage
(Cannot stay this way)
Polarized
Fanaticized
Apathy and anger
Curate the nightmare
Seductive righteous
Keeping us helpless
Look around look around
Outrage
(Cannot stay this way)
The clockworks shatter
On a million broken promises
Drives me to distraction
Fills me with distraction
Demonize and sanctify
But never move the needle
Why try to rectify
When the easy answer
Outrage
I want to fix it all
Tear it down
Build it up
All for all and
None for one
But cold comfort freezes
Hot anger seethes
Where to start I know where
Outrage
(Cannot stay this way...)

Living in a small world…
We’ve taken care of everything…
Creeping paralysis of boredom…
Doesn’t that sound exciting to you?

INTO THE SEA
Living crystal dreams breathe
Until they come crashing down
Fly my hopes into the sky
Watch them crash into the sea
Comb the deserts for an answer
And the wind sings to me:
It all comes crashing down
Beauty always in decay
Into the sea where all will drown
Darkness and loathing dull the pain
Hold my hand as we come crashing down

Front and Center

FRONT AND CENTER
Front and center all around
Fear mistrust and hate abound
Blood and fire rule the day
Won’t conceive another way
Empathy on life support
Turning nations into forts
Spiteful words to panicked ear
Can’t be all we want to hear
We’ve got to got to got to make it right
We’ve got to light our way through darkest night
It’s not as hopeless as it seems
If we remember brightest dreams
We’ve got to got to got to make it right
We’ve got to
Altruism isn’t dead
Just afraid to rear its head
Tolerance gone underground
Prejudice the loudest sound
Silence those who’s only trade
Is singling out those to degrade
Sing of those who lend a hand
Building here the promised land
We’ve got to got to got to make it right
We’ve got to light our way through darkest night
It’s not as hopeless as it seems
If we remember brightest dreams
We’ve got to got to got to make it right
We’ve got to
