Entropy

Entropy, It's late at night, or early morning,
Quiet, listen to the breeze, open desert, jagged peaks
Caves beneath, hidden in the ground, water drips,
hidden wonders
Entropy, The second law, Entropy, Increases with time
Entropy, Friends I have known, Entropy, A lover’s embrace
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so, an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Something Somewhere

Why are you, just sitting in this place, complaining all day,
say you hate it but you stay
Why don't you, just get up and walk away,
walk right out of this place, find somewhere better
I know a man, he always worked real hard,
he never made much more than nothing
I never really knew him, but I've listened to him speak,
I heard what was in his dreams and understood him
I don’t know if this means anything
I’ve lost the thread again
I think the feeling we all share
There has to be something somewhere
I understand that your scared of what comes next,
maybe we’ll fail the test, maybe we already have
I feel the same way, can barely see through the gray
Know there is no other way but forward
I don’t know if this means anything…
Hush my child, it was only a dream, monsters are not what they seem, but they can hurt you
Go back to sleep, tomorrow is another day, never mind what they say, don't feel guilty

Million Stars

Sometimes I’m so small you can't see me
Sometimes I’m taller than the trees
Sometimes the light grows ever brighter
Then the light dims so you can’t see
In the dark of the early morn a silver trail flashes bright
From the silent emptiness briefly in our sight
People scurry around their so busy
They’ve important things they have to get done
Did our silver friend want to join them?
Flashing bright then he is gone
Gas flairs then spread their light, warming their young while they can
Don't worry that you’ll go astray, I hope you will take the chance
There’s a million stars in the sky, a million suns that are burning silently in the dark
I can show you something better, I can carry you past the terror, of plunging into the night
Calm down and open your eyes, Where we are going there are no lies, just let it all go
Six sisters cluster round, hiding the 7th one
When we see them then we’ll know, our journey has begun
There’s a million stars in the sky, a million suns that are burning silently in the dark
I can show you something better, I can carry you past the terror of plunging into the night
Lay back and open your eyes, where we are going there are no lies, Just let it all go

Achilles

You can be Achilles, I’ll be Odysseus x2
Charge ahead, breaking walls, I prefer to go around
You want to fight the good fight but I just want to get it done
I was sitting on the stairway, in the Elks Lodge ornate foyer
Doing nothing just watching the punks come and go
The LAPD in riot gear came rushing into there
And started marching up through the crowd
½ went into the show the rest formed a line and so
Started pushing everyone down and out
Everyone is yelling, pushing, cops are holding Dorothy swinging
Jeff lurches forward to save her
You can be Achilles, I’ll be Odysseus x2
Jeff and Dorothy are bleeding, it’s chaotic, churning, seething
I push my way to them so we can get out of there
We start walking back to my truck, their faces covered in blood
Geza pulls up in his van and opens the door
We climb in and he takes off but he doesn't know where a hospital is
So we’re driving around kinda randomly
Suddenly jumping out of his van Geza runs off yelling
“I’ll find the hospital, just wait right there!”
We make our way back to my truck, their bleeding long since stopped
And we headed back to Orange County
Meanwhile the word got out, Barbra heard that he sister was clubbed
And she kinda went berserk
She broke off a street sign and attacked the police line
Breaking one of the cops hands
The cops dog pile on her, with blows they restrain her
And Barbara is bleeding as they take her to jail
You can be Achilles, I’ll be Odysseus x2
Charge ahead, breaking walls, I prefer to go around
You want to fight the good fight but I just want to get it done

The Island

There's a place far away, between dreams and life
Built by a dweller of darkness and a creature of light
The island rises - out of the ocean, in the Chukchi sea
Whispered tales heard from a distance, does it exist, I cannot say
It’s as real as you want it to be. It’s as real hope
It’s as real as the past and future but it’s hard to hold
The island harbors creatures, made of thoughts and dreams
Tired spirits can take their rest there but know it's very hard to leave
Come let's sail out on this ocean. We’ll brave the heaving seas
Put your faith in the island. Where we all might, find some peace
If only we believe
The island rises - out of the ocean, in the Chukchi sea
Whispered tales heard from a distance, does it exist, I cannot say
It’s as real as you want it to be. It’s as real hope
It’s as real as the past and future but it’s hard to hold
Come let's set out on this ocean. We’ll brave the heaving seas
Put your faith in the island. Where we all might find some peace
If only we believe

Smoke

First in the mountains, the engine just wont start
Then down in the valley, a sudden form and a crash
Then again into the mountains so we don't have to tell
Got stuck in a narrow lane now we can't turn around
Finally off the mountain, wrong turn into a rail yard
About 3AM we drive over the curb
And decide to spend the night in the mall parking lot
In the morning I open my eyes and sit up into a gray blue cloud
Oh let me fly away
Lets run, run to a better place
I want to move, move this heavy weight
We don't know, know any other way
But we can't stay, we’re on our way
He’s sitting in the RV in his underwear
Cigarette in hand he asks “Do you think it’s worth it?”
I’m trying to catch up, I ask him “Is what worth it?”
Life is all he said
After that it all worked out and everything was fine
At family gatherings, that story always gets a laugh
But knowing what I know now, it’s a lot less funny
But I’ve laughed so hard it took my breath away
Oh let me fly away…..
He longed to fly away .…..
