Ripples
Ripples on a pond
Mind doesn’t respond to nature in you
Center mind body your vertebral
Silence Stills the evil in my spirit
Hear the ring of peaceful
Tapping in a bowl that resembles me
Clear your mind don’t think about you
Cerebral in your core
Ripples run around they don’t define you
Find a corner to put all this disorder
Into view what does it mean to me
It leans into my being my desires
They ripple on the pond
It leans into my desires
...
Mind doesn’t respond to nature in you
Center mind body your vertebral
Silence Stills the evil in my spirit
Hear the ring of peaceful
Tapping in a bowl that resembles me
Clear your mind don’t think about you
Cerebral in your core
Ripples run around they don’t define you
Find a corner to put all this disorder
Into view what does it mean to me
It leans into my being my desires
They ripple on the pond
It leans into my desires

Wrong Address
Wrong address
Pull up to pick up
Just missed the address
Put in in R and back it up
Before I can a shot rings out
Shatters young dreams
20 years old
Didn’t know making a mistake
Would be the end of me
Didn’t even get out of the car
Man on the porch says you’ve gone too far
Rings in my ears
And my nightmares
Rings the doorbell
Greets with a rifle
Through the glass
Bullet pierces innocence
Cheering in Texas
Step into the wrong car
Can’t...
Pull up to pick up

Put in in R and back it up
Before I can a shot rings out
Shatters young dreams

Would be the end of me

Man on the porch says you’ve gone too far
Rings in my ears
And my nightmares
Rings the doorbell
Greets with a rifle
Through the glass
Bullet pierces innocence
Cheering in Texas
Step into the wrong car

When truth isn’t Truth(Rudy G)
Rudy G (When truth isn’t truth)
What anyone would do to be able to put their head onto feathers
A long day is in the books and he has a drink and a smoke
Thinks about just what he’s doing
Peddling false narratives
Just to advance his position
He’s been doing it for years and years
Through the ranks of his rise
Hard driving D A comes on the radar
Doesn’t hide in his closet that he crossdresses
But the new President is impressed
Vincenzo says
As far as I’m concerned it’s Bedtime for Bonzo
...

Love Candle
My love is incandescent
Will your love be enough
Can you handle being so close to the fire
I can handle you and my love of you
Will your love be enough
Can you handle being so close to the fire
I can handle you and my love of you

Parole for my Soul
Parole for my soul
Please mister jailer just a question
Can you give me redemption
And parole for my soul
And wash away my sins
Like taking ink off a blotter
Fingerprints disappear
But a stain remains deep in my heart
Please give me parole for my soul
Go to confession on my knees
Jesus please save me
Lift my spirit and my soul
Make me like the original
God above the heaven
With parole for my soul
Free me from Satan
And dirty deeds things just that diminish me

Boats of Musical Wood
Boats of musical wood
Inmates pick up broken pieces
Of a boat carrying migrants to shore
Broken dreams of families not realized
Behind bars in a wood shop
Pick up a sliver trying to deliver
A violin with strings that sing
Or an oar to make a cello
Back in the hell of a prison cell
Putting a boat back together
Boat now making music
singing immigrant dreams
Off the coast of Italy
Italian prisoner makes musical dreams
To call attention to...

Granite in the Distance
Granite in the distance
Far away pick up a pebble
But it’s not one to skip across
The still water in the night
For it raises a black hood
Kneel before satan and God
And plead to purgatory
My head says heaven
My soul says hell
Only hope my heart can pull apart
And split the divide
As I make sure they’re ok
Wrestle with demons in my head
As they pin me down
I flip around stand tall
Pick up the Cross of my savior
Down below I see fires burning
Dancing above as a flame licks my feet

Seconds Seasons pass us
Pay attention to every second as the seasons pass among us look around at all of you
As leaves of time tell us it’s another year
Golden in the sun I feel like this is it
It’s our time our prophecy of reality
Count every blessing bestowed upon you
Time is our rival he never loses
Every laugh and every day that we’re together
On this big blue marble as the sun passes
Look around at all you love make sure you let them know
That time isn’t timeless this won’t go on forever
Reaper calls us when it’s our time
...

Sell the Positive
Sell the positive
Discard the negative
Positivity living in all of us
Can’t think negative
It just defeats my soul
So I sell positive in every breath I take
Positivity that’s what sustains
Pose a question just to me
If you live positive and not negative
Flowers bloom in your situation
Not every day is a Daisy
Some days all I have is weeds
Positive in motion you can’t stop it
If you dip into positive shed negative notions
Think about what we are grateful for
Family friends and...

Do By Me
Do by me without consequences
Do you feel alive in the traffic
Does your heart beat strong and loud
In the quiet moments of silence
Do by me I do by you
Can you look away from all my sins
While you sit in the chapel of the lord
Do by me I’ll do by you
Do you think about what comes next
Or realize just what you’ve done
Do by me I do by you
Under a tree feeling shady
Slice an apple looks just like me
Do you do by me with sanity
Do bye me without consequences
Do by me...
Do you feel alive in the traffic
Does your heart beat strong and loud
In the quiet moments of silence
Do by me I do by you
Can you look away from all my sins
While you sit in the chapel of the lord
Do by me I’ll do by you
Do you think about what comes next
Or realize just what you’ve done
Do by me I do by you
Under a tree feeling shady
Slice an apple looks just like me
Do you do by me with sanity
Do bye me without consequences
Do by me...

Tear in Heaven
Something about dropping a tear into heaven
Galaxy away see a small hole
Floating and spinning
On the horizon
Stand like skywalker
Smaller than a pebble
Drops down from above
Must be from heaven
Set my eye see a smile in the crowd
Feet set in position
Fight through the starts
Know destiny in you
Drops of heaven drizzling on me
Shots of infamy or destiny
Who decides is me and my god
Not a case of doing right by Cure
Hypnotized by baptism
Of false satans and gods ...
Galaxy away see a small hole
Floating and spinning
On the horizon
Stand like skywalker
Smaller than a pebble
Drops down from above
Must be from heaven
Set my eye see a smile in the crowd
Feet set in position
Fight through the starts
Know destiny in you
Drops of heaven drizzling on me
Shots of infamy or destiny
Who decides is me and my god
Not a case of doing right by Cure
Hypnotized by baptism
Of false satans and gods ...

Damaged with a Soft Heart
Damaged with a soft heart
If you said you would come
Back to me down on my knees
Kisses to heaven and I’m restored
Been a ghost hangin round the periphery
No soul in my heart til you come back to me
Im ephemeral just a mist
I slip in and out of darkness
Tryin to access madness I’m livin in
Know I can fill the part
But I’m really damaged with a soft heart
But if I heard a little bird say that
You would come back to me
I could come back around and
Show my true heart the heart you...
If you said you would come
Back to me down on my knees
Kisses to heaven and I’m restored
Been a ghost hangin round the periphery
No soul in my heart til you come back to me
Im ephemeral just a mist
I slip in and out of darkness
Tryin to access madness I’m livin in
Know I can fill the part
But I’m really damaged with a soft heart
But if I heard a little bird say that
You would come back to me
I could come back around and
Show my true heart the heart you...
