Reflected
Headlights in our eyes
Hurtling forward
Into our demise
Good-mannered
Silence in the air
We’ll go down like captains
Politeness cross to bear
Stuck in the middle
I’m too young for this
Even if I
Die a little less
Hush broken
Diplomatically
Gives me a future
Well-bred identity
Tread with caution
Weigh every word
Inoffensive
Apprehensive
Hide your needs
Lock them inside
Decline help
Erase yourself
Good manners
Complex circuitry
It’s hard to defuse them
They’re hard-wired into me
Pulled punches
I know them all too well
It’s time to make waves
Raise a fist and yell

Miracles
04:42
|
|||
|
I used to find miracles in
Every corner of my world
Then gradually they faded away
Leaving life demystified
Information streaming at the
Speed of light at my fingertips
Every question answered but
Where do miracles hide?
In your joie de vivre,
The sound of your laughter
In your dancing feet,
Your questions and answers
You make each new day
Lyrical and
You restore my faith in
Miracles
Out of breath, feeling over-
Saturated and disillusioned
Time to stop and smell the roses
And inhale life’s miracles
You are a miracle

Rabbit Hole
05:25
|
|||
|
Olympic head-first dive and then
It’s down the rabbit hole I go again
An endless maze to navigate
Through darkness in a wired, hypnotic state
I’m suffocating, overwhelmed
And feel the weight of being underground
I inch my way and chart the land
Oblivious to the clock’s ticking hands
Then suddenly the light of day
Has pierced the darkness showing me the way
A breath of air, a coffee break
Then dive back in and make my great escape
Raise my chin
Close my eyes
Take a breath
Dive inside
Here I go
Endless maze
Navigate
Underground
Great escape
Rabbit hole

Some Of Us
03:11
|

|
Some of us are early birds
Tryin’ to catch the worm
Some are feelin’ crack of dawn
Midnight oil burned
A random group of strangers
Full range of human natures
Some of us call all the shots
With iron fists
Some of us obedient as
Puppeteering wrists
Jam-packed we stand together
An underground adventure
Some have spent a sleepless night
Over-active mind
Some of us still half-asleep
Face the daily grind
Urban cohabitation
Olfactory sensation
Some of us have left the stage
Familiar ground
Some of us put headphones on
Disappear in sound
A random group of strangers
The range of human natures
Jam-packed we stand together
Some of us

Help Is On Its Way
03:58
|

Help is on its way
Help is on its way
The news should make my day
Instead I run away
Help is on its way
Help is on its way
It’s why most people pray
And yet I shy away
Help was on its way
Help was on its way
Pride got in its way
Now it’s turned away
Life is heavy
You’ve got to share the load
When there’s help on your doorstep
Welcome it with open
Arms help carry
The weight you drag alone
‘Cause you can’t do it solo
Even if you think so
Keep your ego
At bay like angry dogs
When there’s help on your doorstep
Open the goddam door
Shake hands, embrace
The folks that lend a hand
‘Cause you can’t do it solo
Even if you think so
Help is on its way

Smoke and Mirrors
01:18
|
|||
|
Kerchief, white rabbit, the cards that disappear
Are just illusions, some good ol’ smoke and mirrors
Without a trace they vanish into thin air
And leave you wondering if they were ever really there
Abracadabra, then as you’re mesmerized
They reappear right before your very eyes

The Elephant
05:36
|
|||
|
Is it just me
Or are we
Scratching the
Surface here?
Hollow words
Effervesce,
Disappear
Seems that we’re
Destined to
Skate around the
Elephant
In the room
Don’t look him
In the eye
Elephant an old
Silent partner in our fold
Daily guest at dinner table
Dodging him we’re more than able
Permanent fixture in our lives
Feeds on unsaid truths and lies
Your attention he will pry
Just don’t look him in the eye
The oxygen’s
Getting thin
Seems our grey,
Oversized,
Mutual friend
Took his own
Lion’s share
Now we’re here
Shallow breath
Crammed in this
Tiny cell
Side by side
Don’t look me
In the eye
