Can you say in parting with this day that's slipping fast,
that you've helped a single person of the many who have passed?
Is a single life rejoicing over things you did or said?
Or does one who's hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day or lose it? Was it well or poorly spent?
Did you leave a trend of kindness or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think anyone would say,
You've made this World much better from the life you lived today?
So I'll hit you up anyway, anyhow, let you know where to be.
Hope you made it here to this place where I pour it out for all to see
and hear and taste and feel and take in with a smile.
I know that I can't please you all with this quite influential style-
but I soothe this mic in rhythm-massage it out with a rhyme…
and I get in where I fit in because right now it is my prime.
I can't see right through, into your soul..but I know that it's beautiful.
Withstanding love goes on and on and on and on..

You Don't Know Me

Unrelenting spiral gaze-
leaving everything around a haze.
Acknowledging eyes plant the seed.
A moment's glance whisped away..
like a cool summer breeze.
You don't know me.
Why does it feel like you do?
Just ignoring me..
or I'll come to you.
Scattered thoughts of what I should do..
Wave, smile, speak..
or do I dare reach for you?
Grant me the exquisite chance to hold your hand.
Then I'll lead you to our newfound promised land.
You don't know me.
Why does it feel like you do?
Right before me..
this must be a dream come true.
Your fingertips connect the stars..
and you hold everyone in high regard.
You don't know me.
Why does it feel like you do?
This is ecstasy..or I'm imagining.

I Am

Peers through this corridor.
Told to stay the course.
Intentions have been pure.
Now you question: Are they yours?
Because something just doesn't feel right.
I'm shaking and ready to fight.
Then I stop right in my tracks and see a new light.
That I would rather die than take your life.
When distractions surround me
Fill me with thoughts that consume me
There's one thing I have found
I am who I really am when no one's around.
Disarming this loaded gun.
You know now this battle can't be won.
Your heart speaks loud and won't be denied.
So won't you try this on for size..
They claim the better good but we fall from the inside.
Just because we can, don't make it right.
When distractions surround me
Fill me with thoughts that consume me
There's one thing I have found
I am who I really am when no one's around.
Something just doesn't feel right.
I'm shaking and ready to fight.
When distractions surround me
Fill me with thoughts that consume me
There's one thing I have found
I am who I really am when no one's around.

Pterodactyl Fly By

When our cultures, beliefs, preferences and colors are mixed and swirled up all together.
Only then I'll be at ease to sway down...light as a feather.
I wanna ride where the drivers all have a sense of humor.
Take long strides in my bare feet where foolish pride is just a rumor.
I long to be in a state of mind where whatever I write I dream of that night.
Go back in time, Bob is passing me the splif and saying "Everything's gonna be alright."
Where there's never any fear of whatever is below or above.
Where lovers are aware of hate and haters find love.
I'll step out the door and fall on the back of a flying pterodactyl.
The furthest notion from me is whether it is practical-
It doesn't matter to me-for it is all a dream.
I wanna walk where an enlightened man walks without his pockets a-jinglin'.
Where I won't ever have to worry what the others are thinkin'.
Where hypocritic men meet the women of contradiction.
I won't take myself too seriously yet not forget to speak with conviction.
I'll voice my thoughts out loud in a random crowd of people wearing smiles.
It has taken me this long to know it's not always wrong to be this wild.
I'll step out the door and fall on the back of a flying pterodactyl.
The furthest notion from me is whether it is practical-
I don't care if I fall-for it is all nothing more than a dream.
If these tremors roll and divide us and we fall into the sea.
We'll build and live and thrive in a new paradise for you and me.
I'll step out the door and fall on the back of a flying pterodactyl.
The furthest notion from me is whether it is practical.
I don't care if I fall-for it is all nothing more than just a silly dream.

42 Days

Think about it.
Write it down.
A step in bringing those daydreams to life.
And now you've done it, and made us proud..
by channeling all that darkness into light.
You've got a reason to live rather then wither up and die.
Beyond what's inevitable, I choose to survive.
Think about it.
Play it out.
A step in bringing those daydreams to life.
And now the weather won't bring you down.
42 days and now you're more the wise.
You've got a reason to live rather then wither up and die.
Beyond what's inevitable, I choose to survive.
When you wanna swerve-carelessly crash..
from this endless itch that you can't scratch..
clawing at you from the inside out.
Too jaded to see alternate route.
Wanna break away but don't know how.
You've got a reason to live rather then wither up and die.
Beyond what's inevitable, I choose to survive.
To live is to breath, and take in what comes to be.
When you wanna swerve-carelessly crash..
from this endless itch that you can't scratch..
clawing at you from the inside out.
Too jaded to see alternate route.
Wanna break away but don't know how.
How do I explain this?
I didn't ask to be here.
But I am-no more than a grain of sand..
within a grain of sand, within a grain of sand.
