I can’t always say to you “it’s alright”
Take the time we need and I’ll
learn to keep in mind…
You know.
We might move through all of this with foresight.
Embrace the grace we’ve gleaned and we’ll
often choose the Light.
You know.

Permanent Resident
03:39
|

Make your mind up; take it over.
Because I belong here, I belonged.
Do you remember where we was born?
Because I belong there, I belong.
But oh, you say it all.
And oh! You believe it all.
It’s an awful big assumption
when I was gone and you were twenty-three.
But you were never there on your own,
because you belong there, you belonged.
But oh, you say it all.
And oh! You believe it all.

Evil Depends
01:18
|
|||
Couldn’t have a kid, so we gave the dog its name.
When she ceases to exist we’ll take it back again.
When everything’s subjective: how can you compromise?
Because Evil depends on the good people being quiet…

Big Business
03:31
|
|||
She was made for business
and I was made free
You were destined for big things
We’ll see if that’s true…
She was named Forgiveness
and I was named Greed
You aren’t much better
we know that’s true.

Semantics
02:23
|
|||
For all intents and purposes: Chica-go home
Cuz we’re Illinois-ed, but that’s null and void…
Homage: do your worst.
I would never say: it’s my baby
It’s their baby, true.
Little baby, it’s not our baby
It’s your baby, you.
Who am I to say in a Game of Semantics?
Delineation or demarcation: what did we know?
Abstract nomads on a fast track to namelessness.
My identity is my property– but that’s been stolen, too.
Similar sentiments on separate occasions.
Who am I to say in a Game of Semantics?

… and for now I’m dealt a decent hand
Hypersensitive; I’m over-aware.
God: keep me humble, please keep me scared.
Alpha influence: real or imagined?
Scared to say what feels right
Quick to admit I’m Middlewest nice.
God keep us humble, nix all our fears.
Brother’s influence: truth or disaster?
A newly named grain rolls on screen
Ditto device: like you, unlike me.
God keep us humble; check all our errs.
Lover’s confluence: formed or detracted?

Long Gone
02:42
|
|||
I won’t be long, because I’m long gone
And I am a goner, because I don’t belong.
Death’s at the door: time to push off.
Friends at the door: guess I’m hanging around.
I won’t be long, because I’m long gone.
And I am a goner, because now I belong.

Long Distant Closer
03:34
|
|||
Dreamt we died alone
and this is all we’ll know
So stuff your color qualms
because we’re made of more than tones.
It takes some time,
so embrace, celebrate, elevate, levitate the Light.
