Melt Away

My monkey mind, spins out of control
Coercion immersion taken its toll
Don’t live what I dream
Don’t think what I say
Can’t help but feel my essence betrayed
I melt away
I melt away
Resigned to the sentence, doing the time
Condemned to lethargy, acquiescent mime
Inertia, Inertia our ball and chain
Misplaced the umbrella, we soak in the rain
And melt away
And melt away
Hold your space
Hold the line
Make your stand while there’s still time
Or melt away
Or melt away

Verse #1
This life of habitual vice (and) unrewarded sacrifice
A long dark tunnel (with) little light to guide the way
But yet we hope, for meaning we grope, delude ourselves so we can cope
Until that moment that changes everything
GROUP VOCAL
LIGHT - LOVE - GRACE - ONE
MIGHT - RIGHT - TRUTH - !!!!
Chorus
Can’t crush it and it’s out of your control
Can’t shackle it when you’re out on patrol
Won’t conform to dogma that you extol
Almighty Oneness of The Over-Soul
We battle on ….
Verse #2
In mindful silence, resides the path to rightful action
Objective observation guides the way
Profound insight descending from the highest heights
Where Universal wisdom is conveyed
GROUP VOCAL
LIGHT - LOVE - GRACE - ONE
MIGHT - RIGHT - TRUTH - !!!!
Chorus
Can’t crush it and it’s out of your control
Can’t shackle it when you’re out on patrol
Won’t conform to dogma that you extol
Almighty Oneness of The Over-Soul
We battle on ….
Partially derived from an Essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sally

Standin’ in these shoes that walked so many miles
Worn down to the soul ….
Thoughts, like the breeze, blow through my mind
Hopes and dreams that I’ve left behind
Look back over my shoulder, turn and walk some more
Centered in my ecstasy, deep within this calm I have found love …
In this hour of certainty, converted to a devotee of love …
...somehow I know
Sally, this time it won’t fade away
Sally, I’m comin’ home to stay
Now all this pain abound won’t break me down
Just more weight in my pack as I roll through town
Faithfully estranged, not so easy to engage
Though my mind’s at work and my intent is good
Often I am misunderstood
I’ve made jails from words that failed, a prisoner of me.
Centered in my ecstasy, deep within this calm I have found love …
In this hour of certainty, converted to a devotee of love …
...somehow I know
Sally, this time it won’t fade away
Sally, I’m comin’ home to stay

Evercare
03:51

Outbound, I drift slowly away
Review theatre I’d wanted to say
Curtain closed now, unspoken lines
Hollowly silent, please understand why
I went and left you there
To a life of Evercare
Sentiment, review your song in my mind
Snapshot, yearn for, know that I find
Blood on the pathway, I bleed as I go
Unhedged exposure, I want you to know
I went and left you there
To a life of Evercare
Far away, you stay with me
Enlightened child, you’ll always be
Embedded deeply in my heart ...in my soul
Frozen, myopic perspective can’t see
What you hold closely sometimes you must set free
Parting sweet sorrow, for your welfare I pray
Butterfly go now, come back someday
I went and left you ...
I went and left you ...
I went and left you there

Oh Thoreau, Mister Emerson, transcendental natural medicine
Stephenson and Foster Wallace, intellects of the first degree
Casteneda’s Don Juan, Ruiz’s Four Agreements
Zinn’s pursuit of justice with a vigilant vehemence
Yogananda, the Dalai Llama, Venkatesananda portray Nirvana
My friends that I’ll never know, through their written songs and stories told
Not present here, but never far away
Sitting right there on my shelf is this remedy for my mental health
“Thank you to the friends I’ll never know.
Heartfelt gratitude deep in my soul”
Roger’s striking portraits of himself, Ray Davies not like everybody else
Bradley and Cobain they burned so bright, Rage and The Clash brought the dynamite
Peter Tosh and Bob Marley. KRS, Chuck D, Winston Rodney
Thom’s ballads of fear and dread, galactic symphonies buzzing through his Radiohead
My friends that I’ll never know, through their written songs and their stories told
Not present here, but never far away
Sitting right there on my shelf is this remedy for my mental health
"Thank you to the friends I’ll ever know”
because sometimes ...
In existential times of crisis that one feels as an incarnate being
I scrape along the rocky bottom like a punctured submarine
but words of truth and words of wisdom help to restore my buoyancy
Emerge from the ocean of my despair when I see ….my mind can break free.
My friends that I’ll never know, through their written songs and stories told
Not present here, but never far away
Sitting right there on my shelf is the remedy for my mental health
“Thank you to the friends I’ll ever know
Heartfelt gratitude deep in my soul”

Craft a tale of heroes juxtaposed
A denouement with negatives exposed
Reversal of the shades that the print disclosed
Borrowed time on which the world foreclosed
Hung-over from fermented love decay
Frozen dreams from a shattered yesterday
Echoings of promises untrue
You know that I would die ….but I can’t live for you
Call the bluffing raise and let the cards be shown
Cast away your opinions, that I now disown
Close the book the story has gone astray.
Bury it where it won’t see the light of day
Hung-over from fermented love decay
Frozen dreams from a shattered yesterday
Echoings of promises untrue
You know that I would die ….but I can’t live for you
Did you see what you just did
Can you hear the rain falling now?
Are you here or are you far away?
This frozen, shattered dream delusion
Has now come to its conclusion
Trust me please you’ll understand someday
