Lighthouse Nancy
Lighthouse Nancy
Early in the morning coffee brewing
She says breakfast is ready
Car is loaded up and battened down
Rain clouds form on the horizon
He presses the pedal of
Romantic dreams
Driving up and down the east coast
Searching for lighthouses
Last time I checked there were
190 to visit in a VW Bus
Tricked out to look like home
Thought I could do this in 25 words or less
Maybe need to draw a map of my head
On a stormy sea what to look for
Up on the rocks sits ...

Is it Me
Is it Me
Is it me for a moment
Every line I read feels computer
I read again and it’s alien to me
Go back to ink and paper in you
Binary not binary in mind
Is it you for a moment you forgot
Don’t forget dreams in nightmares
Love in the moment before you know
Love is dispatched you are going
To live in this moment until you die
Moments in you till you sing you’re dying song
Is it me for a moment
Every line I read feels computer
I read again and it’s alien to me
Go back to ink and paper in you
Binary not binary in mind
Is it you for a moment you forgot
Don’t forget dreams in nightmares
Love in the moment before you know
Love is dispatched you are going
To live in this moment until you die
Moments in you till you sing you’re dying song

Phosphorus
Phosphorus
You are phosphorus in me
You are the vital nutrient
All that I need is your chemistry in me
I evolve from a microbe on your Heavenly Body

You are the vital nutrient
All that I need is your chemistry in me
I evolve from a microbe on your Heavenly Body

New Generation
What are we gonna show to the new generation
How dumb we were what we posted on Instagram
In 5 or 10 years we’ll think we look a little dumb
In 10 or 15 we’re starting to feel ashamed
In 15 or 20 we will say that is not who I am
They took it out of context even though that’s what you said
In 20 or 25 we don’t want to think about how we looked away
In 30 or 35 now you’re talking history books online
Your grand kid grabs your phone and does a google search
Sees with their own eyes Grand Pa was...

Getting Paid
We’re getting paid
We both wake up before the rooster calls
Do our routine don’t want to be late for school
Bell rings class is ending
Head for the locker room where I’m the One
You are in the state championship I’m trying too
All the sudden I’m in the papers and screens
We are colliding with greatness on different pay scales
I am better than you I bring more fans to watch me
You are excellent but not as good as me
And you will disagree
You are a tree that gives me shade but I...

Family Secrets
Family Secrets
Don’t go round selling family secrets
The secrets I know would get me murdered
The things that I know wish I was dementia
The things I know I wish I could forget em
She smiles at me at the mention I know what she is worth surviving millions
But I must agree she is a beauty my heart still
Belongs to her even if I hate her
My heart belongs to her
She hates me but she won’t leave me
Don’t go round selling family secrets
The secrets I know would get me murdered
The things that I know wish I was dementia
The things I know I wish I could forget em
She smiles at me at the mention I know what she is worth surviving millions
But I must agree she is a beauty my heart still
Belongs to her even if I hate her
My heart belongs to her
She hates me but she won’t leave me

Warm Blanket
Warm Blanket
Warm blanket of Family
Deep in the night
Roll over give a groan
Drift off in Aspirations
Dreams not fully formed
She has practice he has a game
Balancing Family
Ball on Foot or Hand
Living life in footprints of time
Knocked down in the dirt
Come up Clean Laundry
Warm blanket family
Feels so good Wrap in them
Keep social assassins on the perimeter
Live in Your World of Confidence
Warm blanket of Family
Deep in the night
Roll over give a groan
Drift off in Aspirations
Dreams not fully formed
She has practice he has a game
Balancing Family
Ball on Foot or Hand
Living life in footprints of time
Knocked down in the dirt
Come up Clean Laundry
Warm blanket family
Feels so good Wrap in them
Keep social assassins on the perimeter
Live in Your World of Confidence

Against the rain(reign)
Holding up a tent against the rain
Buckets flooding in try to save the food
Wetness pouring in push the rain to the river
Take me to your servant pull up bozi you’ll get cramps in the water
Morning rises rain realizes and recedes
Dancing with good music
Cry again and cry again feel the rhythm
Of Kinshasa thank you for your attention
It’s the other friends turn keep the rain away
Here it comes again wring out my wet clothes
Wind howling tarps flying away
Hold on tight can’t...
Buckets flooding in try to save the food

Of Kinshasa thank you for your attention

Assistant to Power
Assistant to Power
You go to school and dig into law principles
I go to school I’m an Apprentice to a Master Plumber
We see each other in social situations
Blacked out pledging the fraternity of yourfamily
So I see you in the library but you’re reading the comics
I’m on the stone looking to master Plumbing
As time passes you’re clerking for the Supreme Court
I worked for all of this I Mastered Plumbing
You were drunk and sleeping, pulling down your pants now you’re on the Supreme Court ...

Under My Ark
Buy an Ark
Transport just my family
Ark is big enough but you aren’t coming
Ark on Gravel, big wheels, better watch out
Ark just mowed down 7 little kids I couldn’t see
But I’m on the Ark I feel like a Viking King
Don’t pay attention to the lives I mowed down
Feel Real Big On a Viking Sled
My family is protected by my Ark
Don’t think about other people on the streets
My Ark is my Covenant but not to you
You are gravel under my Ark’s wheels
My family is...

Coming for Us
The animals are coming for us
In a distant forest some campers set up for dinner
The land the trees are set up for some disasters
All of our vanities expose us to making wrong decisions
We sit in a forest where climate change comes to us
Comes to midnight let’s go to bed in our tents
All we hear is nature talking to us
But we miss the message we think like Kings upon the forest
What we see is Mother Nature Raging saying
Your so small your insignificant
I’m a tsunami sending waves of...

Disconnected
Disconnected
Disconnected but searching for something
You’re in the car electric driving home not a tesla
Hear the phone look down but its almost empty
Lift the console look for my plug i cant find it
In a car not made of combustion im searching
Find the cord the lifeline we all the sudden seem to need
Plug it in my cars wheels slow down im coasting
Seems technology isn’t all its made to be so i
Lift the handle release the latch but the doors lock
Screaming down the Autobahn...
