Into the dark
4th of July
Well there I’ve said it
It’s out on the table for all to see.
I have this deep unfulfilling anger-
That won’t let go of me.
I remember as a kid ever 4th of July.
We ate cotton candy and waived our flags-
as fireworks filled the sky.
We were happy, proud and oh so free.
Now my homes become a sanctuary city.
It’s a war zone
What have they done to my home?
Crime and poverty
Everywhere I roam.
So many fools with
Selfish ideas
The Nancy Pelosi
your
Hell is here.
Hey Nancy
Your hell is here.
Who’s gonna pay for
The pain your deliver
California is broke.
Way Beyond hope
Not even a sliver.
Hay their Jerry Brown
Lock your doors real tight.
Cause the beast you feed
will make you bleed tonight.
In the name of God
What’s wrong with you?
Coming home on the Fourth of July
Pinite’s and corona cans a beggar with a patch on his eye.
There’s music but / proud to be an American is not played.
No no, we Don’t want to hurt
The feelings of little
Illegal Jose.
And now I have...
this deep unfulfilling anger-
That won’t let go of me.
I remember as a kid ever 4th of July.
We ate cotton candy and waived our flags-
as fireworks filled the sky.
We were happy, proud and oh so free.
Now there turning my home into a sanctuary city.
There turning my home
into a sanctuary city.

Waiting for the bottom
Falling, head first
Into the hole
You know the one
The one -
that takes control.
Falling, into darkness,
Don't know where it's going to go.
Just keep falling and falling.
Down you go.
Into the bottle
I like to swim
Down to the bottom then back up again.
Don't need no ice
room temperature is fine.
Golden luscious liquid come penetrate mind
Falling, head first
Into the hole
You know the one
The one -
that takes control.
Falling, into darkness,
Don't know where it's going to go.
Just keep falling and falling.
Down you go.
Into the bottle
I like to swim
Down to the bottom then back up again.
Don't need no ice
room temperature is fine.
Golden luscious liquid come penetrate my mind.
Falling, head first

Golden luscious liquid come penetrate my mind.
Golden luscious liquid come penetrate my mind
Golden luscious
liquid.......
come penetrate my mind........

The Devils horse
See look over there
There it is.
Mean and nasty, snarling evil magnificent power,
and it wants to kill you.
Stomp on your soul.
What makes you think you can control it?
A fool’s errand.
Oh, you think you can handle it.
it’s not a big deal. Mind your own business, don’t worry about me I’m just playing,
I’m a player.
I can quit anytime I want.
I just do it for fun.
So, go ahead
throw A Rope around its neck.
Fix a saddle to it.
Try your best to ride
It’s time to ride
The Devil’s horse
Everyone told you not to.
they say it will kill you
It will eat your soul and destroy you and change you into something that you don’t want to be.
the Devil horse,
- it snorts with an attitude of if puppet master.
Come on let’s take a ride......

Way back when
I could stand at the roof edge of a building
I could jump from 10 stories high
And somehow it would be my destiny
To grow wings and fly
Can’t you hear my heart is calling
Can’t you see that I’m truly falling
So deep into a spiraling warm twisting wind
Back in time
Back in time
Way back when

The drum inside
Are you sad?
Is there anything I can do?
Are you mad?
Does this life make you blue?
When you dream
Do you run and hide inside?
Do you ever wonder
What’s going to happen
-to you.
They dumb us down with internet
Tv shows
And robot pets
The mindless numb
As you succumb
To the drum.
The drum inside
Your soul your pride
Fighting the tide
Let love be your guide.
You’re in the Frey
Off marking hey
You kneel and pray for another day...
And like the serpent you can’ t find time to play.
When Angels ask what will you say....

This side of the Rainbow
What is this a purple twist
A vulture’s laugh
Cuts me in half
A purple twist
I’ve slide down the icy hill
Just a boy looking for a thrill
And down I go past the branches and frozen snow
Grasping at anything to save me from the endless hole
Someone save me
From this side of the rainbow
In the car I’m driving
Working hard
Barley surviving
Wife knows when I’m lying
No sense anymore in even trying
Can’t break free and be the me I want to be
Instead of the me she wants me to be…
Grasping at anything to save me from the endless hole
Someone save me
from this side of the rainbow
Staring out at the ocean
I reflect about my life,
going through the motions
Try to dim the light with potions
I’m lost and can’t find the emotion
Time to ponder the endless notions
Grasping at anything to save me from the endless hole
Someone save me
From this side of the rainbow

Time to pay
Was gonna jump
Into the water
But it was too deep
Was gonna dive
off this cliff
but it was too steep
was gonna walk out this window
and fall wear I may
I lost my nerve
There’s gotta be a better way
Young is easy old is hard
It gets trickier with ever new card
The light in the tunnel has gotten really small
It’s getting harder to get up from the falls
Dilute the reality by chemical means
Twist all your morals be part of the scene
Live for the moment
All we have is today
Never let your demons stray too far away
In the end when they put your bones to lay
It will be the time to pay.
So, run up that tab ….
