Let It Overflow

Yes my heart has become undone

Listening to the words that make it hurt

Why do people have to make it cry?

Lost in a place so lost from grace...you and i

There is so much hate...in this world

It makes me want to cry...no I do

There is so much hate...in your soul

It makes you want to lie...no you do

Why do we pretend to run this race?

No one wins when we all finally die

There's no understanding for one and all

When we erect...all these walls

Life has no new beginning

Stymied by guilt, remorse and the sinning

Will you stand up and let yourself be heard

Gather all your life lessons learned

Let the light shine in your heart

And let the love come pouring in

Fill you up to the top

And let it overflow from your rim

Splash onto the ground

That surrounds your life my friend

Lift your soul...lift your soul...lift your soul

Up to the stars to a life you want to know

Build a dream...build a dream

Build a dream...you know in your heart what I mean

Hold my hand...hold my hand

Hold my hand... My love together we will understand

This life is short... For the two of us...this life is short

There's no time to waste...we must live it all

Hear my call...hear my call

Come running to me now my love

I'm yours...you know it too

Why do we pretend to run this race?

No one wins when we all finally die

There is so much hate

There's no understanding for one and all

When we erect...all these walls

There is so much hate

Let the light...shine in your heart

And let the love come pouring in

Fill you up to the top

And let it overflow from your rim

Splash onto the ground

That surrounds your life my friend

Lift your soul...lift your soul...build a dream

Hold my hand... My love together we will understand

Hear my call...hear my call

Come running to me now my love

I'm yours...you know it too

Hear my call...hear my call...hold my hand

Hear my call...hear my call...let my love come pouring in

Kiss Me Before the Night Is Through

How do I write a song?

Where the words have new meaning

That hasn’t already been used before

How am I gonna tell you

About these feelings I have for you

No sense in stealing any prose

Wondering where this world leads

Its definition lost in dissolution

Words sometimes have no creed

Dissipation in remorse surely wins the day

You and I have been friends for an eternity

Shall I take chance and hold your hand

Sing to you a chorus from someone else's misery

All their hopes and their dreams...

Maybe it's the way they sing

Will this help to show you what I mean?

The hand that writes the tune

Talking about the month of June

Soaking up the summer days

And starry nights under the moon with you

When the moonlight shines just right

Makes me want to hold you tight

Kiss me before the night is through

How am I gonna tell you

About these feelings I have for you

No sense in stealing any prose

Wondering where this world will lead

Its definition lost in dissolution you see

Words sometimes surely have no creed

So how do write a song

Where the words have new meaning

Haven't they all already been used before?

Dissipation in remorse surely wins the day

You and I have been friends for an eternity

Shall I take a chance and hold your hand

Sing to you a chorus from someone else's misery

All their hopes and their dreams...

Maybe it's the way they sing

Will this help to show you what I mean?

The hand that writes the tune

Talking about the month of June

Soaking up the summer days

And starry nights under the moon with you

When the moonlight shines just right

Makes me want to hold you tight

Kiss me before the night is through

Chasing This Love

This day will come and it will go

The memory will fade as it slips away

You said you would love me…eternally

Now I’m lost...back to where it all began

Now I’m no fool to life's grand plan

Tomorrow you'll find me on the road again

Chasing this love...to the very end

Catch me...catch me...if you think you can

Going too fast...I’m your rocket man

You’re gonna have to take me… as I am

Catch me...catch me...if you can

Holding me...kissing me...can't stay...in this town

You’re gonna have to take me… as a one night stand

Where I’ll land is anyone's guess

Gotta get outta here...got to get out of this mess

You said you would love me…eternally

Now I’m lost...back to where it all began

She’s so lovely… sitting there

She’s got magically beautiful blonde hair do

She’s so dreamy...but I don’t care

She's gonna help me...get right outta here

Chasing this love...to the very end

Catch me...catch me...if you think you can

Going too fast...I’m your rocket man

You’re gonna have to take me… as I am

Catch me...catch me...if you can

Holding me...kissing me...can't stay...in this town

You’re gonna have to take me… as a one night stand

This day will come and it will go

The memory will fade...as it slowly slips away

You said you would love me...for eternally

So now I’m lost...back to where it all began

Chasing this love...to the very end

Now I’m no fool to life's grand plan

Tomorrow you'll find me out on the road again

Catch me...catch me...if you think you can

Going too fast...I’m your rocket man

You’re gonna have to take me… as I am

She’s so dreamy...but I don’t even care

She's gonna help me...get right outta here

Where I’ll land is anyone's guess

Gotta get outta here...got to get out this mess

Holding me...kissing me...can't stay...in this town

Tomorrow you'll find me on the road again

Chasing this love...to the very end

Catch me...catch me...if you think you can

Going too fast...I’m your rocket man

You’re gonna have to take me… as I am

Catch me...catch me...if you can

Catch me...catch me...if you can

Where I’ll land....is anyone's guess

Going too fast...I’m your rocket man

Oh chasing this love...to the very end

I'm your rocket man...oh yes I am

Hoping For The Appeasement

The mountains rumble and the land cries out for help.
The sky rages furiously creating as much chaos as it can.
The animals run in sheer hysteria, they hide to escape the wind.
Raise your hands and bow to what you cannot explain or comprehend.


Hoping for the appeasement to be swift,
This time the anger will last for a long, long time.
Oh run away ever so fast ...ever so fast,
And don't you look back... No don't look back.


There's a terrible dark soul haunting you now,
And it’s rising...and rising...and rising...and rising... from deep below.
And it’s rising...and rising...and rising...and rising...and rising...and rising.


Oh a dark, dark soul is rising from below...oh a dark, dark soul is rising
From below...from below... From below...from below...from below


Well they tell a tale from long time ago.
Calling to the Gods…but they can’t be heard,
Lost to the belief that they will help them in the end.
Raise your hands and bow to what you cannot explain or comprehend.


Hoping for the appeasement to be swift,
This time the anger will last for a long, long time.
Oh run away ever so fast ...ever so fast,
And don't look back. No don't look back.


There's a terrible dark soul haunting you now.
It’s rising and rising and rising and rising from deep below.


Oh a dark, dark soul rising from below...oh a dark, dark soul rising
From below...from below... From below...from below


The clouds get dark and they begin to spin,
You don’t have a clue to the way your life will end.
But the storm rages on and on, bringing you doom,


Where is your faith...where is your God
The time has come...yes the time has come
Oh where is your faith...and where is your God
The time has come...yes the time has come


So will they remember you...so will they remember you...
As the mountains rumble...as the land cries out for help.


The sky rages furiously creating as much chaos as it can.
The animals run in sheer hysteria, they cannot escape the wind.
Raise your hands and bow... To what you cannot explain or comprehend
.
Oh run away ever so fast ...run away ever so fast,
Don't you look back... No don't you look back...don't you...don't you look back.


From below...from below...from below... from...deep below.


It’s rising...and rising...and rising...and rising...and rising...and rising.
Oh a dark, dark soul rising from below...oh a dark, dark soul is rising from below


Well they tell a tale... about you...from a time long ago.
You were calling to the Gods... But they couldn't be heard,
You lost your belief that they would help you in the end.
You raised your hands and bowed
To what you could not...explain or comprehend.


Hoping for the appeasement to be swift,
This time the anger will last for a long, long time
Oh run away ever so fast ...run away ever so fast,
No don't you...no don't you...no don't you...
don't you...don't you ever look back.

I'm Living It Now

There’s something amiss

This day is a mess

My life has changed without you

Here by my side

No not you...not this time

She can never replace

The beauty I find

When I remember your face

You're locked in my soul

Forever you know

Times eternity...oh this bliss

Is all this lonely heart...will ever know

No you're not here

I remember you asked me one time

What was always my biggest fear?

Well I’m living it now...right here and right now

I'm living it now...I’m living it now...I’m living it now

Oh I’m living it now...right here and right now

The tears fall from my eyes

Can't help it when I think of my disgrace

Yes I’ve fallen from grace

Oh this feeling... This feeling...when I feel I have to lie

To myself...just so I can live...just to get by

Here by my side

No not you...not this time

She can never replace

The beauty I find

When I remember your face

You're locked in my soul

Forever you know

Times eternity...oh this bliss

Is all this lonely heart...will ever know

Well I’m living it now...right here and right now

I'm living it now...I’m living it now...I’m living it now

Oh yes I’m living it now...right here and right now

ANGER

They say I must write about anger. Your anger, their anger, perhaps even my anger.

I guess one could say anger can be fathomed in many ways and mannerisms, some comparable in state and being then others untouchable in measures. Some say there is good and bad anger, that the depth and meaning is what brings its purpose. That we only see the surface when it rises and if we peel back the layers like a rotten onion we will find its demonic reason or its unbridled justifications. So the deliverers of anger would have you think, their never ending hopes and dreams of anger that drive them beyond normality.

 Then there are the facsimiles of anger that just simply protrude into our daily lives from our own actions or the agenda of those that become a slave to their own destruction or greed. So anger, being as it is, can almost be considered to have a life or entity all its own. It lives in all things including the innocent or naive. It is only the simplest of forms that escape its reach as their lives are consumed by basic survival. It is amazing to see anger, in whatever aspect, amongst things of nature. One wouldn't think it would be secretly lurking there waiting to raise its ugly head.

 In truth it may be just a simple response to survival, one reaction to an action given or received. It does however become more deliberate as we intensify the intelligence of the wielding force behind the contestants entwined in the arena. The play, arranged in pre-format, unfolds before the audience intended. Usually gathering forces for the spectators to witness.

Other forms of anger are speculative in nature being that they had purpose without reason or form. Its creation is of the moment with purest intent or conclusion. Was there rhyme or reason? Was there meaning or justification? Was the action provoked or was it predatory? The later, being a question of supreme intent, giving way to will and destruction to others or within.

Does the anger get to cultivate then have production? Does it pile up blocking all other things and then one day or moment in time burst with explosion? Does it hit its mark or lash out at all that surrounds it? Is it a darkness in a sea of evil or the bringer of salvation to guide all thru the light?

 It is chastised by some and welcomed by others, this there is no doubt. The past has many aberrations from tales of old. Yet we see it raise its ugly head many forms today. From our own daily lives and on the news. And we can only shake our heads in disbelief. We see what cannot be controlled and then act out on the ones we love in shame or in the name of justice or self righteousness.

 But what we really want is mutual respect even though the true calling of all our nature is survival of the fittest. Which puts anger in perception accordingly, giving it validation.

 As for my anger, well it has many depths depending on the subject at hand. I wear it within the walls of my chest like the tools of a shed. I use what is needed at the moment to guard my being and to protect others when I can.

 It is responsive and it is proactive, it just depends on how much you piss me off !
