Beyond the nose
Of the dogs of democracy
Voluntary crazy
We have come to be
No sight
Or sound
Could bring us back together
Now
Where the differences divide
Has dug in quite far
Full of liquid melted tar
Beyond the nose
Will be more problems
Where our senses
Can’t go
A rotten destiny
Filled with blasphemy
Blaming infamy
Of tyranny
On the everyday man
And woman
Even
And odd
But when people die
Not even the truth can imply
That responsibility is ours
Behind these bars
I scream
Straight ahead
With no deviation
One handed guide
Swiftly through the nation
Embalmed with lies
Far and wide
You could see the twinkle
Lost in his eyes
Straight ahead he said
With no remotes
Stay consistent
Stay in course
The old fears
Dried up tears
Move up
Move out
All the changes happen
In specific time
And moments
We remove ourselves
To see the grand scheme
By it doesn’t mean a thing
When your heart is torn
One more time
Second try
Perfect rhyme
Hold on to perfection
Or just let your instincts
Be your best regression
Hold on
Or
Let go
Time to flow
And see what the subconscious knows
Clean me oh great shower
Prepare me for another day
Refresh my senses in steam
And warmth
Relax my mind
Open my heart
Showers in the morning
Always seems to be
The best start
What I know
I know I don’t know
Much
All I have learned
So far to go and learn
So much to hear and live
Impossible to know
What you don’t know
But the goal
Is to just grow
A time of worry
And sorrow
What can be changed
That can’t be undone
What is being rearranged
Feels like
Looking directly at the sun
Hold breathe
And hold hands
We have a responsibility for this
Land
Waters frozen
Waters thaw
Opening up spring
From winters claw
Over the water the city
Of the Midwest
Settle to the side
Of the great
Lake Michigan
Take me on a great journey
Over the great lakes
Beyond the skyline of Chicago
Over the fields
Down the streets
Whip me over the middle of this land
Down to Indianapolis
Over to South Bend
With the wind I go
On a night
Of gale force depositions
Late in the evening
A Cup of Songwriting
