Pass another drink for me.
I know it sounds wild,
When you're just a child,
That drinkin' might set a man free.
Give me an hour, two, maybe three.
Here's to chaos and order
And me on the border.
Please pass another drink to me.
Would you pass another drink for me?
Here's to askin' her will you?
Here's to hopin' that kills you
Please pass another drink to me.
Would you pass another drink for me?
Here's to holdin' a baby,
Here's to one more--just maybe.
Please pass another drink to me.
Would you pass another drink...
When you're just a child,
That drinkin' might set a man free.
Give me an hour, two, maybe three.
Here's to chaos and order
And me on the border.
Please pass another drink to me.
Would you pass another drink for me?
Here's to askin' her will you?
Here's to hopin' that kills you
Please pass another drink to me.
Would you pass another drink for me?
Here's to holdin' a baby,
Here's to one more--just maybe.
Please pass another drink to me.
Would you pass another drink...

A Turtle named Yertle
There was a turtle named Yertle--a clever fellow.
He lived in a marsh where the wind was mellow.
One warm day, to his own surprise,
he found his mind could see so much further than his eyes.
'Oh such lands that I could own! If only the sight of such I was shown!'
'If only a stone could become like a throne, so much more land on my stand I could own!'
On this warm day, with such an ambition, the little turtle climbed to a higher position.
On the top of a stone, oh what sights he could see!
Taller than all turtles--so...

Gentlemen
Little hands around you—solemn soldier toy.
Storms outside surround your sleeping hero boy.
Alas! Amass dear gentlemen,
Your foes now row ashore.
Surprise! All wise and wearied men.
Again I call you more.
Light the fright in fools afar lest they come here cold.
For daughters and good mothers.
The souls not to be sold.
Rise up! All true gentlemen—garner here a horde.
Stones pile on the parapets and arms drive for the ford.
Calling every gentleman! Steel and anvil strikes.
Red blood beyond the waterway—carries the pagan...

Again I call you more.

The souls not to be sold.
Rise up! All true gentlemen—garner here a horde.
Stones pile on the parapets and arms drive for the ford.
Calling every gentleman! Steel and anvil strikes.
Red blood beyond the waterway—carries the pagan...

Wander
Still—I wonder—will you wander?
With me while my wiles ponder—now—forever now.
I wander.
How have smiles hid your hating?
Have to hold on—contemplating—now—forever now.
Now I wander.
Fears unfading for all feeling.
Looking down hides every ceiling.
Thus, now I wander.
Walking, wishing, lost in losing.
Choices past the point of choosing—still—here we are and will…
Will you wander?
With me while my wiles ponder—now—forever now.
I wander.
How have smiles hid your hating?
Have to hold on—contemplating—now—forever now.
Now I wander.
Fears unfading for all feeling.
Looking down hides every ceiling.
Thus, now I wander.
Walking, wishing, lost in losing.
Choices past the point of choosing—still—here we are and will…
Will you wander?

Feral Prey
Where feral prey grows longest hair,
Fierce lions hide their presence there.
Fierce lions hide their presence there.

Sad
Sad,
I'm feeling sad.
Mad,
You get so mad.
Bad,
I've got a rope...
Now,
Past goes all hope.
Dead,
Rope round my head.
Spoke,
Things I have said.
Cried,
eyes 'til they died.
What I couldn't take,
Death will,
I tried.
I'm feeling sad.
Mad,
You get so mad.
Bad,
I've got a rope...
Now,
Past goes all hope.
Dead,
Rope round my head.
Spoke,
Things I have said.
Cried,
eyes 'til they died.
What I couldn't take,
Death will,
I tried.

If Only
If only she had seen.
Now my life could mean--something more to me.
And yet this has to be.
Dead--how I died inside.
pains--only a heart could hide.
Buried alive.
Dying to thrive.
Walks, talks, smiles and tears, driving over places… Fears.
Yet here I am--aware the scam.
What a fool was I? Just for good.
So good--a lie.
With honor and truth lay dead the youth.
If only I believed, could I leave myself deceived?
Still unaware.
Knowing only love and care.
Now my life could mean--something more to me.
And yet this has to be.
Dead--how I died inside.
pains--only a heart could hide.
Buried alive.
Dying to thrive.
Walks, talks, smiles and tears, driving over places… Fears.

If only I believed, could I leave myself deceived?

Indignation and Lies
Such a disguise—indignation and lies.
Who cares? Who shares the times he tries?
So well… Oh well.

This Way
I didn’t wanna see you cry.
I didn’t wanna hear you lie.
But it’s okay—It turns out this way.
I didn’t wanna lose my mind.
I didn’t wanna break inside.
But it’s okay—It turns out this way.
Walkin’ on tower stairs, leaves blowing through your hairs.
Oh yeah, I see—natural beauty.
But I didn’t wanna feel this way.
No, I didn’t wanna have to say—I’m not okay.
But it’s okay.
Long hours lost in bed,
those thoughts we tossed instead of losin’ time—tryin’ to climb.
Walkin’ on younger feet, talkin’ about deceit.
Oh yes, I said,...
I didn’t wanna hear you lie.
But it’s okay—It turns out this way.
I didn’t wanna lose my mind.
I didn’t wanna break inside.
But it’s okay—It turns out this way.
Walkin’ on tower stairs, leaves blowing through your hairs.
Oh yeah, I see—natural beauty.
But I didn’t wanna feel this way.
No, I didn’t wanna have to say—I’m not okay.
But it’s okay.
Long hours lost in bed,
those thoughts we tossed instead of losin’ time—tryin’ to climb.
Walkin’ on younger feet, talkin’ about deceit.
Oh yes, I said,...

Unspoken Cure
Words fly and fall—what’s another one said?
Trying to live—when in the end we’re all dead.
What words could be… Eternity?
I've come to see—it can be said,
just not with words, listen instead.
Maybe you’ll hear
this unspoken cure.
Trying to live—when in the end we’re all dead.
What words could be… Eternity?
I've come to see—it can be said,
just not with words, listen instead.
Maybe you’ll hear

A Dream You'll Understand
I woke up far away, from where you are.
Somethin’ I should say… to my sleepy star.
I wish that we could play… in a cool valley.
I wish you only knew… what it means to me.
Years they come and go… but only some will see.
Life didn’t hold my hand… though I know who knows.
Who else understands, where the dreamland goes?
So, to this end I write, of a dream last night I had.
Family was there, back home with mom and dad.
Work was to be done--I did my daily dues--but soon was soon enough,
I kicked off worn out shoes.
I ran like the wind… through...
Somethin’ I should say… to my sleepy star.
I wish that we could play… in a cool valley.
I wish you only knew… what it means to me.
Years they come and go… but only some will see.
Life didn’t hold my hand… though I know who knows.
Who else understands, where the dreamland goes?
So, to this end I write, of a dream last night I had.
Family was there, back home with mom and dad.
Work was to be done--I did my daily dues--but soon was soon enough,
I kicked off worn out shoes.

So Close to Free
Layin' by the river a boy--so close to free.
The wind blows a wave along--and it's movin' me.
Water rolls along the rocks--and I feel it flow.
Time slips away from me--it hurts lettin’ go.
Pain inside washin' away--memories play in my ear.
Brain denied another day--and am I even here?
Clouds tried to lead above—to what I couldn’t see.
Fleeting times I used to love--they were a part of me.
Laughter in the breeze again--toes in the sand.
Is it just a dream again? staring at my hand.
Birds fly from tree to...
The wind blows a wave along--and it's movin' me.
Water rolls along the rocks--and I feel it flow.
Time slips away from me--it hurts lettin’ go.
Pain inside washin' away--memories play in my ear.
Brain denied another day--and am I even here?
Clouds tried to lead above—to what I couldn’t see.
Fleeting times I used to love--they were a part of me.
Laughter in the breeze again--toes in the sand.
Is it just a dream again? staring at my hand.
Birds fly from tree to...
