"The Machine" Short Audio Version
What is the machine but the child of our hand,
Born not of nature’s womb but thought's demand?
It grows like a child, then turns to a beast,
Its bones of steel, its hunger unleashed.
Heartbeat pounding, gears in time,
Is it our creation, or the shape of our climb?
Oh, the machine, a mirror of the soul,
A marvel, a terror, it makes us whole.
Does it reflect, or does it consume?
Is it life’s new dawn or our silent tomb?
You, a traveler from the stars afar,
Gaze at our machine, the iron...
Born not of nature’s womb but thought's demand?
It grows like a child, then turns to a beast,
Its bones of steel, its hunger unleashed.
Heartbeat pounding, gears in time,
Is it our creation, or the shape of our climb?
Oh, the machine, a mirror of the soul,
A marvel, a terror, it makes us whole.
Does it reflect, or does it consume?
Is it life’s new dawn or our silent tomb?
You, a traveler from the stars afar,
Gaze at our machine, the iron...

This Song (It's for You)
You showed up in a dream last night
and you were not ok
You never said a word,
but tears were rolling down your face
I didn’t ask you questions,
just held you while you cried
And when I woke, the rain
was pouring down outside
I know that I can’t call you,
How random that would seem
We’re really not that kind of friends,
We only talk in memes.
I’m not the one you’d turn to
if things were going wrong,
But you’re the one who crashed my dream,
so I’m writing you this song.
...
and you were not ok
You never said a word,
but tears were rolling down your face
I didn’t ask you questions,
just held you while you cried
And when I woke, the rain
was pouring down outside
I know that I can’t call you,
How random that would seem
We’re really not that kind of friends,
We only talk in memes.
I’m not the one you’d turn to
if things were going wrong,
But you’re the one who crashed my dream,
so I’m writing you this song.

Redemption (Open Verse)
Intro:
You know,
I once heard this quote
And this quote said
“No matter how hard your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief”
So no matter how fractured you are, you can’t stop going
The world doesn’t stop, so we continue to move with it
So, let me take a moment to get this off of my chest
Verse:
The thought constantly haunts my mind
Of how you up and left me during the darkest of times
I thought when we agreed, I had your back, you had mine
I put my heart on the line, just to get stabbed in the spine
...

If only I had been
Do I believe in reincarnation, the answer is no
I don't think there is a heaven, we got no place to go
I believe my ship came and went
I think my tokens have all been spent
When my chances came, I took the bus
I've got nothing left but total disgust
Think my world is coming to an end
I'm left without a penny to spend
I wasn't brave enough to do something with my life
~Chorus~
If only I had taken that chance
If only I had stepped out on that limb
Maybe I could have been someone
Instead of sinking I could...
I don't think there is a heaven, we got no place to go
I believe my ship came and went
I think my tokens have all been spent
When my chances came, I took the bus
I've got nothing left but total disgust
Think my world is coming to an end
I'm left without a penny to spend
I wasn't brave enough to do something with my life
~Chorus~
If only I had taken that chance
If only I had stepped out on that limb
Maybe I could have been someone
Instead of sinking I could...

If only I could soar - a lovely coop with Shilohverse
Hoi hoi
Hope this finds you well?
This is a lovely coop, if I may say so.
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14866877
Shilohverse wrote the poem/lyrics and posted them on the 24th of August 2024.
I asked for her permission to take the poem with me on a 7 week trek in our tent, so I could get ideas for a song. And I got that permission. Needless to say I was very glad.
A couple of days after our return, I uploaded the draft to Shilohverse, and shortly after that this version.

The Dreamer and the Dream
(In coming to, I come to find that)
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see
Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)
I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me ...
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see
Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)
I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me ...

Valentine Day Massacre
St Valentine’s Day Massacre
Better hope you’re somewhere else but here
40 feet wide if you’re inside you’re dead in an instant
But saints and devils are in our everyday it comes to
Who you choose whose side you’re on can’t sit on a fence
If you do you give up your soul your inner being
You’ll rot in hell in a jail cell if you’re lucky but luck looks away
So you’ll die the same way you paid for slice your carotid artery
Or a bullet in the back of the head dick and balls in your throat
...

Who(are you)
From my generation
To teenage wasteland
Can’t explain
Why but in yer gut
Boris the spider
On eminence front
Is it me for a moment
Playing pinball
Preaching like Jesus
Can you see the real me
As love reigns over me
Who are you sister disco
Guitar and pen
Says everything
Call the Bell Boy
Punk and Godfather
Here by the sea and sand
Tommy can you hear me
I know Who’s Next
Like the back of my hand
Behind blue eyes ...
To teenage wasteland
Can’t explain
Why but in yer gut
Boris the spider
On eminence front
Is it me for a moment
Playing pinball
Preaching like Jesus
Can you see the real me
As love reigns over me
Who are you sister disco
Guitar and pen

Call the Bell Boy

Tommy can you hear me
I know Who’s Next

I’m a fabulous disaster(I’m Sid Vicious)
I’m a fabulous disaster(I’m Sid Viscious)
You try to come but I’m faster
Than a hurricane here after
Broken glass i hit the ceiling
I turn around and you’re screaming
I am a fabulous dresser i wear ribbons and bows
I have a razor blade in my wardrobe
You think i am an asshole you can’t buy my punk rock star
Everyone is packing their bags for the trip across the pond
But everyone is boring i exterminate the sadness
What about the farewell drugs that you promised
On a bus down in Texas s h i t i have no...

Sugarcoat
verses]
The same old recipe,
This is how it’ll go:
You’ll call me A-to-Z
I won’t get a word in, never.
It’s just a puzzle piece, yeah
Bet you believe it tells you everythin’
Only if you knew, you wouldn’t believe...
[pre-chorus]
So,
You be callin’ me your honey,
But I know that at the parties,
You bet her type tastes so good
Tell me that you really want me,
Could be in it for the money,
It’s alright ‘cause you love me…
[refrain]
Sugarcoat,
Won’t you tell these...

Old guitar Part 2
Oh this ol guitar it just does
some-thing To me
cracks me open Like an ice cold
Bud light
N I starting pouring out all the things on tap ,
that I feel inside
It sure has a funny way somehow of fixing me
Just by hearing its sweet melody
Yeah when he Gave me this ol guitar
I said i swear Grandpa
I'll forever Near and far
carry on This old 6 string and your name
Ill keep it as strong as they were
The day you started the change
with the lesson You handed down to me
With this ol guitar
Yeahhhhh

The Many Seated Vehicle Song
Can someone help me?
I need a song that starts off slow
and slowly turns fast
One that grows in tempo
the longer it lasts,
and by the end
has gravitational mass
when it picks up
and the singer gets mad
then the song gets calm again
and it ends
as it started
Like if it was a song about a car
it would start with something simple
like
Someone humming
and strumming a guitar ...
