Lip Service
Words inspire and words destroy
Words conspire and words annoy
Words spread freedom and words detain
Words believe them in sound refrain
Words of passion in words misleading
Words without action are words without meaning

Roads Taken
I dreamed a dream I did not own
But it was mine for I dream alone
In a world of more than senses full
I walk and breathe and push and pull
I talk and laugh and taste and smell
Where my feet touch Earth I cannot tell
So many people seen and places roamed
In a life I’ve lived but never known

Hollow
A sea shell that can’t be found by the sea shore
You’re, about as deep as a paper door
With as much substance as an empty store
Like that guy they named a movie for
Or, piggy banks and chocolate rabbits
Not like monks, nuns, and habits
Your soul is void like winter jackets
In June, you’re as see-thru as tennis rackets

Why We Fight pt 3 (Sticks and Stones)
Now is the time for peace
We must take the awful lessons of the past
And see today as a new lease
For if man again walks that path
Surely he won’t last
We’ll help each other out of this dark hour
Strive toward tomorrow and one common goal
We are all equal and share equal power
Now let’s get our spears and find some food to go

Love's Convicts
A new love arises on a new morning’s shore
Where the moon left behind a feeling so sore
The slightest caress can open all the gates
Of dreadful events dug up out of place
No matter how hard this new love may try
Each true kiss must be hiding a lie
One heart bruised another through timeless conflicts
And put all on probation as lover’s convicts

When U Drink Ur Booze
When u drink ur booze
N u drink it slow
N reach for the doorknob
N miss the whole do’
Ur not drunk, u just been drinkin
When u drink ur booze
N u drink it red
N reach for the pillow
N miss the whole bed
Ur not drunk, u just been drinkin
When u drink ur booze
N u drink it fast
N reach behind u
N can’t touch your own ass
Ur not drunk, ur wasted

Necktie Kind of Guy
We get along alright
Well, at least in my sight
I want to make things work and move past the spite
Though we keep having the same old fights
Because I still love you, I still won’t lie
Keep in mind I’m not the necktie kind of guy
The arguments we have had
Sometimes bad
Won’t ignore the fact
You weren’t my first
And if need be
You won’t be my last

Forgotten
I one looked into the eyes
Of a man who wasn’t there
And he scribbled on the air
That the man just didn’t care
But he spoke words as true
As truer words could know
He had somewhere to be
But he had nowhere to go
I heard his feet shuffle the earth
Silently moving

Superstar pt3 (Laundromat)
The bubble has popped for this fallen star
No more luxury cars, riches, and caviar
I was the search word that everybody looked up
Was gonna have my face put on a million bucks
But things happened so fast I was a newborn turtle
Couldn’t get past or trash the smallest of hurdles
Now I’m in this Laundromat thinking where it wrong
I don’t even know why I’m writing this song

Ninety Percent
Tirelessly tip-toeing on the tides of time
A young girl reins in the waves crashing the shoreline
Mercilessly melodious in his method of mischief
An old man amuses hearts with the wink of a misfit
Carelessly kicking rocks ‘cross the heavens of man
A small boy holds the love of a world in one hand
Breathlessly believing in defeating the wrong
An old woman carries on and puts the wind on a song
