San Diego
When will you come home?
You’re hiding for your life
While they’re all hiding from theirs
If only we all knew
We were dying
The sky widens
When you take off
The universe won’t let
Space hold you back
Or stop you
From never stopping!
In constant motion
With the stars and the planets
And the moons
That orbit
The energy
Of your soul
Reflecting off mine
And my reflections
Reflecting off yours
Transferring
Back and forth
The vibrations and frequencies
That make our song
One
One
One!
One!
One!
One!

Swimming Through Flames
When you speak
It is always the sweet poetry
That seeps through me
And I feel butterflies
All in my body
ee ee ee
And in your eyes
I see them circling about
And sprinkling the light
Of your stars
That guide me to you
In the night
When is the time
I can feel the poetry
On your lips
And of your hands
And of your body
And we flow
Like the words of the streams
That can't be stopped
That can't be owned
It is the pure
Freedom of your soul
ooo oo oo
When you sing
The words slip from me
Overtaken by the poetry
Of your voice
Echoing through me
For days and hours
Like swimming through the flames
That never burn
That never sting
Only warm me so intensely
Only engulfing me
In the energy
Pulsating
ooo oo oo oo!
It is the most powerful
Love I feel from you!

You Shine
What happened to us
When the automatic is shut down
Unless trained to be the way
Leading up to complete obliteration
Or the hope for worry-free angels
There they are
Just staring at you, open-eyed
In your visions blind spot
And they shine
In spite of your neglect
And you shine
In spite of your denial
And there’s something about the wind
You didn’t know
Was kissing you on your face and scalp
And when you feel pain
It works with the life around you
To carry your thoughts through the trees
The circle waves we push all around us
Swimming and breathing, cool oxygen
Filtered screens of perception
Perception
Perception

Gold Mind
Gold mind, I’ve got a gold mind
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Good mind, I’ve got a good mind
Intelligent, intelligent, intelligent, intelligent
Mine, mine
Mine, mine
Why can't you just share it?
Why can’t you just share it?
Loving heart, I’ve got a loving heart
You only feel your hard
You only feel your hard
Loving heart, I’ve got a loving heart
I can feel you cry
Feel you cry
Feel you cry
Inside
You’ve got a dam in there
And it crumbles
It crumbles
It crumbles
It crumbles
Now you're bare
Standing here nude with me
Won’t you look and see
We are creating beings
And I formed these curves you see
With rolling waves of laughter
From my souls' sea
And the stars
Making paths in the night
Are the freckles on my cheeks
And the chalk
Painting the sidewalk
Are the particles of dust
I leave as my love
Flying into your ears and lungs
So I can be close
To your brain and heart
If you'll just let me in, just let me in,
Just let me in!

Get Off Yer Couch
How could I have know
What this place was
Once I finally opened
And realized what this place does
What in the world
Kind of world
Are we living in?
Where is this place,
Where does it begin?
When will it end?
When will it end?
The buildings are towering over us
An unhealthy shade
Don’t you need the sun
You stay inside all day
Your television is killing you
Why don’t you go to the places you see,
On those flashing lights,
And experience things
Get off your fucking couch
You’ll never learn about anything
Unless you go and see for yourself
And see this isn’t the pretty world
The media makes it seem
Can’t you see they are brainwashing you
They are not telling you the truth
Open your eyes
Can’t you see who makes the crime
Open your eyes
Can’t you see who creates genocide
Open your eyes
Can’t you see they lock their dumpsters
To keep the poor hungry
And keep you a consumer

Qutatye
How can I accept your heart
I could hurt you
Like I’ve seen all before
I could hurt you more
If you tried
I’d let you stay the same
What’s the point of loving
Someone you want to change
Sometimes I hear you
A little sad
I love that mostly
I hear you laugh
You take time
To think things through
You know the answer
And still you choose
To self-abuse
So what can I do for you?
What can I do for you?

Machine Has Taken Over
Drunken, gun holster
Where have you gone sir
Where have you gone
Far away
Far away from your machine
Your machine has take over
Over the life you once knew
When your brain released
Some chemicals and your eyes opened
To your mothers feet
And some man in white
Took you and made you afraid to see
These lights you now follow blindly
Led my screams
Of hatred
You hope will keep you safe
At night
The dark won’t keep you
From the fear you’re guided by
To slaughter your
Fellow human kind
But me and you
Are much different walks of life
I fell from the stars
And you’re from some Christian god
A jealous, jealous, vengeful fellow
Who hides in the clouds
To make you think he’s
So much better
Than all that you are
And you hide in a house
To think you’re so much better
You think you’re so much better
Than me and him and her
Sitting next to the trash can
Your wasteful hands
Feed me food vicariously
Through your money spent
And hierarchy mindset
You’re sad, you’re sad, you’re sad
And don’t know the love I have
You’ll never know the love I have
You can’t listen
You yell and you bicker
And dodge where something bigger
Anchors into your deep hollow sickness
The animals would be friends with
If you weren’t
Some hurtful, horrid creature
You’re a hurtful, horrid creature
Horrid, horrid, hurtful creature
And create all of at one point
You wanted to help
Now you’re dying inside
Because you’re dying all around yourself

Officer Greenwood
You push around in tall buildings
To look down on us
While we’re held high in the trees
And you never look up
One thing I know,
Know for sure,
I’ll help you get back down
I’ll help you get back down
To Her
I’ll help you get back
Down to her
I’ll help you get back down
You left some damage
My back in tense
You’ve been in my dreams
Ever since
But one thing
You don’t know
You’ll never!
You’ll never touch my soul!
You’ll never touch my soul!
I’ll help you get back down to
Earth!
Mother!
Earth!
Mother!
Who will touch and love you
When you are a boy
Mother!
Mother
Who will touch and love you
When you are a boy
And your soul
Will be free, once again
And that little crying boy
Will be my friend!
You’ll be my friend
You’ll be my friend
You’ll be my friend
And I’ll help you get back down to her
I’ll help you get back down to her
I’ll help you get back down to
Earth!

What is Time
My good friend
I saw you in my dreams last night
And you were so quiet
You were so quiet
And I knew I’d meet you this way
No matter where you stay
No matter where!
And your face, it didn't look the same
Don’t worry
I think it's the miles
Something will change
Something will change
Some things will change
And the way the sun felt in the morning
So welcoming to stay
Reminded me so much
Of something
I can't change
And I didn't want to wake
I didn't want to wake
I didn’t want to wake
I didn’t want to wake
I didn’t want to wake
Ah, what is time you're wasting
What is time you are wasting?
What is time?
What is time?
What is time?
What is time?
