Tower of Lies (killin one another)
New Song (music to be recorded soon)
Since the very beginning
(killing one another)
just cant understand
(killin one another)
Cain killed Abel
murdered his brother
aint ever no different
killin one another
An the Man ask God
am I my brother's keeper
then he answer himself
just bury em down deeper
beneath the open sky
cant keep those secrets
build a tower of lies
with lies, the lies.
Since the very beginning
(killin one another)
nobody understand why
(killin one another) ...

apologetics
cheeky bastard awaits apologies
for having slept
through his doxologies
a pox upon
systematic theologies
god in a box
a pun
as if the sun shone down
upon his ass
to warm the words
twisted bag
of gas
for having slept
through his doxologies
a pox upon
systematic theologies
god in a box
a pun
as if the sun shone down
upon his ass
to warm the words

old school
he picks up the glass
cuz its his best defense
against a world that no longer makes any sense
to a man who was hard
cuz he had to be
in another time
in another place
and its seems that hes always
a step behind
he cant walk straight
between these lines
and the kids look at him like he's just a fool
old school
he smiles at the lady
who pours his drink
and reminds him of someone.
she smiles back.
he says "thanks",
and as she turns away.
time stands still for a moment.
he takes a sip ...

the sixties were the shit
The sixties were the shit until 73
Then the Nam went down in flames
But watergate put the fire out
Like we thought tossing that old crook by his ear
was all the price we had to pay
for Napalm
for Mi Lai
for Pol Pot and the way
Jack and Bobbie got killed so young
like hope got snuffed
Then Teddy had his own little Watergate
But he came out of it fine
Glad it wasnt me
I still wouldnt be seein the light of day
What?
You think they wouldnt put a poor boy down for that shit?
Thro away the key.
Mary Jo deserved bettern that...

Naked
I wish I could tell you all my secrets
I wish I could give you all my hidden treasures
I wish that you would give me yours
We would laugh together
Or Cry
I wish we could be naked together
No more veils
Every lie
A truth
Now open
To the one who holds my eye
With hers
Holds my eye with hers
A thousand withered temples
Ten thousand empty stars
Black holes
Sucking
Prison bars
We build for our illusions
To keep us company
In cars
I wish the world were full of loving
I wish this night was full of...
I wish I could give you all my hidden treasures
I wish that you would give me yours
We would laugh together
Or Cry
I wish we could be naked together
No more veils
Every lie
A truth
Now open
To the one who holds my eye
With hers
Holds my eye with hers
A thousand withered temples
Ten thousand empty stars
Black holes
Sucking
Prison bars
We build for our illusions
To keep us company
In cars
I wish the world were full of loving
I wish this night was full of...

Long Dark Nights
You left me
All alone
On my own
Far from my home
I did not see this
Comin around
Fallin down on me
Long dark nights
They surround me now
Some one turn on the lights
Someone show me how
Someone show me now
You were always the one
I could never deceive
The things that you have done
I would never believe
I would never believe
You left me
All alone
On my own
Far from my home
Could not see this comin around
Fallin down on me
Fallin down on me
All alone
On my own
Far from my home
I did not see this
Comin around
Fallin down on me
Long dark nights
They surround me now
Some one turn on the lights
Someone show me how
Someone show me now
You were always the one
I could never deceive
The things that you have done
I would never believe
I would never believe
You left me

Really?
Life is for living
Love is for giving
Give what you have
Try
Don't ask why
sigh
Life is harder
When
You don't
If you can't
Cry
From deep inside
I know
Feeling it is
Difficult too
But
What are you going to do?
Carry that around
Until you
Die
Dry
Inside
While
Living but not
Really?
Love is for giving
Give what you have
Try
Don't ask why
sigh
Life is harder
When
You don't
If you can't
Cry
From deep inside
I know
Feeling it is
Difficult too
But
What are you going to do?
Carry that around
Until you

Babylon
Criminals wearing suits and ties
Passing sentence on us all
Trapped in ignorant
Bliss
Below
Hoping
Not to see
the Fall
Disguised, forgotten
Errors?
No
Corruption eating out
The walls
Crumbling foundations
Posing
Towers
Of overwhelming righteousness
Lost
Nothing less
Than destiny
For those having no empathy
Whores of leisure
What’s your pleasure
Sold your soul
For Stolen treasure
Broke the law
Changed the measure
Babylon
Accursed forever
Passing sentence on us all
Trapped in ignorant
Bliss
Below
Hoping
Not to see
the Fall
Disguised, forgotten
Errors?
No
Corruption eating out
The walls
Crumbling foundations

When I Was As All-Knowing As You
The longer I live
the more each moment
reaches for meaning
while fleeing
heaviness
as lightness of being
returns
like youth
brandished by one
who
no longer has
the strength to wield it.
So then, telling
the tale
of life
and
the lessons of love
with every good intention
of saving someone
the pain
of wasting time
on non-essentials
nevertheless
wasted on ears
not engaged
in hearing from one
so obviously
past
relevance.
A revelation
reveling...

Shaken
I slipped my thumb
in
and grabbed you
with my fingers
and squeezed
tightly
while I clamped my mouth
upon your breast
and wrapped my arm
around your waist
and lifted you.
I shook you
until you screamed for it,
until you could not
live without it.
Then I
grasped your hips,
pulled you tight,
and we rocked
until the the heavens burned with fire,
until we screamed together
as the walls collapsed around us
and we lay beneath the stars
Shaken,
inside and out,
laughing and
sighing.

Undone
My heart has been invaded.
It never had a chance.
You slipped through my defenses,
your beauty like a bloody lance
pierced
the knight unshielded,
unseated by a glance,
fallen.
Then,
head cradled in the tender arms
of the very one who caused him harm,
the image of that lovely face
(as consciousness returned)
emblazoned upon memory
as if a rose were burned
upon the eye of
the beholder,
thus undone,
a fortress taken,
disarmed
forever.
It never had a chance.

True Name
The evil reputation heaped
on his true name
for ills done by so-called Christians
falsely in it
while the world seeks glory
in names that cannot give it
yet among them some,
unknowing,
live it
while among the so-called
are so few
who love the name
and live it too.
the One
in whom began
all of them
to exist
and have their being
knows their blindness
and their seeing
and shows them love
their souls
now freeing
by one who came,
please understand,
not just in name
but heart in hand
to...
