Already There (2013) You've got that Sun I want Over well intentioned friends, I choose you Been warned, won't help myself way too short, let me enjoy forbidden time with only you All day I rack my brain, crafting plans to crack the code and keep you close My hopes dashed, esteem is slashed your Love's a 5 alarm's a flicker I've misdiagnosed *If complete, still must I search Because of you I reconnect with something pure Take me to the other side Where I am more aware after much rejection, self reflection I find, I'm already there Your ocean vast and blue inspire droplets... possibilities my old norm's completely spent my blank chalkboard teems with opportunity * Why harness joy with rules like some affliction we endure till its' abate From what source .. the notion all we need exists outside? I'm awakened and inspired ignited and enlightened Hey you, bright eye

Slow Burn 03:22
Slow Burn ( 2013) (The ways you love me is a ) (I'm burning, I'm burning Ohhh) (I'm burning up) Found out yesterday, I didn't make the list Your great “Sympatico” with beyond a hateful twist A master politician, pretending that you care Item One regard yourself and claim you're being fair *Dismissing dignity, lie to my face and play me for a fool Beware of what's coming, cause and effect, don't need to tell you can be cruel (The way you love me is a ) It's a slow burn, when will I ever learn You make my heart ache and my worry churn again and again, when will I ever learn That to you, it's clear I am of no concern Easy to omit My own value in the Mix Generosity, forbearance Yeah! that will be my fix But at the day's end all's played out like the rest To your web of intrigue I'm your unsuspecting guest *Dismissing dignity, lie to my face and play me for a fool Beware of what's coming, cause and effect beware it can be cruel Beyond storm clouds of naked eye A sun shines on, serene Are you small or vast or Near or Far? To be like you Oh sun, so wise and free

Greatest Hits (2017) Didn't recognize it Unknown address on the card Got this sinking feeling might have tried too hard Trying not to panic Did my research and it's true how could this have happened thought I'd end up with you Perfect, Smiley, Photo shows she really loves you Smart Move, Agreed. I did my best, that could have been me Oh, playing my greatest hits again That tired old tune 'bout how I ain't no good Must love worry and being loathsome feeling cast off, misunderstood Watch me, flip this record over, start a new groove and a new song I'm a blossom in full bloom, clear the dance floor, make some room I'm exactly where I belong... Now this ache will not shift It's front and center and I'm spent Am I deficient? Was I selfish? I've lost, I must relent. Have I settled? Am I OK? Correspondence sparks such pain was my enthusiasm frightening Now I'm the one I blame * Didn't land that role we were out of sync tenemos nunca reciprocity with my season's passed Much too weary to wait and you soon discover I'm finally taken...

Found an old snap of my Kiwi pal, back in Bilbao What I wouldn't give to be right back, right there, right now as young as you are wise, your words add years to my life Pay it forward's how I'll show my gratitude I think it's part of growing up where you wish you had more then you feed that monster in hindsight you should have ignored spent life, all work and no fun unlearning this has only begun how do you start beginning to say a “job well done” *I'm done longing for good old days I'm Gonna focus right here gonna focus right now I'm done going back in time cuz Today's the good new day, the “aha” I've found When I forget, remind me that hope, Is what I can choose and defeat, also a choice, that I can refuse Of blossoms and of seeds, Of flowers and of weeds Still, today's tomorrow's golden memory Today's tomorrow's good old day and it's good “as is” right now Over “younger” days, I choose good “new” days Carpe Diem! We all know how These good new days are good old days Those good old days are good new days

One Foot 03:51
One Foot ( 2019) She's a prickly shell with the sweetest fruit a great wall insulates and keeps the peace Wants to leave behind her Ivory tower days. and her post nom's don't guarantee release. Doesn't want to listen, desperate to be heard Loves an audience, "Kapersey" ( expertise) from her lips Much too busy for reciprocity so being the star slips (right) through her fingertips Oh she's one hard nut with one foot on the gas and one on the brake On the move, busywork distracted no wonder that no progress does she make she sees savior, we see troublemaker her mirror ain't the truth for goodness sake what kind of reconciliation could end such frustration of one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake Solo performer In a group she's the one you'll recognize. defiant and keeping people nervous To avoid her is quite wise. Doesn't want to listen, desperate to be heard Loves an audience, expertise from her lips Much too busy for reciprocity so being the star slips (right) through her fingertips Say to change “ Come on in, we're open” hustle kool-aid ain't a real drink So many have so much to teach you Life begins at the edge of what you think She altered one thing Began respecting hers and his and theirs and its' and ours. one teeny teeny tiny small adjustment to find herself she didn't travel far. Doesn't want to listen, desperate to be heard Loves an audience, all V.I.P from her lips Much too busy for reciprocity so being the star slips (right) through her fingertips Oh she's one hard nut with one foot on the gas, one on the brake On the move, busywork distracted no wonder that no progress does she make she sees savior, we see troublemaker her mirror ain't the truth for goodness sake what kind of reconciliation could end such frustration of one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake she's still one hard nut with a foot on the gas or one on the brake not always distracted a real good friend does she make. she a savior and a troublemaker she mirrors just enough truth for goodness sake A reconciliation ended such frustration of One foot on the gas OR and one foot on the brake.

Pardon Our Dust (2012) Got a chewy center that's mixed up and a secret Ideas- no recollection of how they came to be Friction borne of illusions trump any new infusion of my positivity slow drip Recipe Restore my default settings, metadata's compromised tainted potions, codes infected expectations disguised My best self, (will) make a difference My best self, (will) have impact My best self, if I listen, will be well advised *Please Pardon our dust, I'm temp-o-rarily under renovation Replacing rot ting walls of dreams searching for new motivation I've Under-budgeted the cost of how dearly I must pay Dusty layers of confusion accessing truths I must obey In this world filled with wonder. (As long as we draw breath we're here to fly) There'll be no limits to our sky 2)Disheartened and confused, One-up-man-ship abused Clanging 7/24 through her brain Amending my position, hopeful rekindling of ambition to unrelenting struggle and strain Everyday, more of the same help or hinder- none to blame Negative feedback pristine core reclaimed My best self: on, to, with, and My best self of my life My best self: I rediscover how myself I can excite. Please Pardon our dust, I'm temp o rarily under renovation Replacing rot ting walls of dreams searching for new motivation I've Under-budgeted the cost of how dearly I must pay Dusty layers of confusion accessing truths I must obey In this world filled with is a wonder. As long as we draw breath we're here to fly There'll be no limits to our sky I've been told I'm a Buddha, I'm the one, I've been told I am free, I've been told, just be me No matter what I do, no matter what I say, can't seem to convince my self and, through my fingers, my happiness, (as I watch), just slips away Is it possible to change this trajectory. My Delta, I want to believe I can reverse Yet fighting an immovable force, rubber banding back and forth and the nagging sensation of defeat just makes me feel worse 4) I'll never give up on my fight with my lesser self – no skeletons un-closeted no rocks un-turned . Keep fine tooth comb digging till the water comes clear Cuz I know deep down I am kind, to be good I've learned this is my messy journey, my own journey warts and all and I like it I will not give up on my quest to see the beauty in myself, see the beauty in You, and honor the (hospitality of the earth) (as its' most) respectful guest .

How Are You? 03:54
How are you? (2013) R. Lukas Something about me pegs me a target Somehow I invite miscreants Chaos exploding around me Is this my fault, or somehow my neglect Whistling and strolling along while Inside feeling doubtful and wrong My dark cloud inches in, steals my Sun and my song I'm more in charge than I think I must make up my mind and look ahead Whose template shall I follow to ignite my dreams and squelch this awful dread Whistling and strolling along while Inside feeling doubtful and wrong A dark cloud inches in, steals my Sun and my song I will myself happy , But my life has a mind of its' own I will myself joyful Nice and good are seeds that I've sown Wheels up and full throttle thrust I return to my Tried and True I can change my world if I ask How are you?

Icarus 04:22
Icarus (August 2013) You've faced this crucial moment a couple of times now. Forged in your crucible You've withstood your destiny's heat how to arm yourself against your own fate's calling. Inevitability of your own Pandora's box you'd meet Since it's you against you, Which “you” of you which you will be your guide? when you fly so close to the sun, make sure your wings are golden. When you orbit real change, top off your levels of forbearance Any interruption no matter how just feathers bound to be ruffled Oohh Oohh Icarus, you now got wings to fly from new heights you've now achieved, kiss naivete goodbye Icarus, you buck the status quo you've got your own plus everyone's nay saying to outgrow Icarus, You got your golden chute Let's hope it's lined with a little more than privilege, looks and loot Icarus, I know I was not asked Don't give in, expect the worst and live like today's your last. Any interruption No matter how just feathers bound to be ruffled Oohh Oohh (Chant:) Drench me in "Amrita" Drench my soul in Mystery My footing serene Transforming negativity Into victories unforeseen Icarus, you now got wings to fly from new heights you've now achieved, kiss naivete goodbye Icarus, you buck the status quo you've got your own plus everyone's nay saying to outgrow Icarus, You've got your golden chute Let's hope it's lined with a little more than privilege, looks and loot Icarus, I know I was not asked Don't give in, expect the worst and live like today's your last. Any interruption No matter how just feathers bound to be ruffled Oohh Oohh Drench me in Amrita (Drench my soul in Mystery) My footing serene Transforming negativity Into victories unforeseen

Just Bcuz You're Right ( August 2017) Cuz you're kinda right You've been trying real hard to gain some purchase Your rhythm's off, something unforeseen's gone wrong Me just reminding you of how, and what U need to change isn't helpful....won't exactly keep you strong Cannot un-hear your inside info on a neighbor could not predict the consternation this'd invite why'd you tell me and what's your motivation A good night's rest is really worth this fight JBUR doesn't mean you need to keep telling me You don't need to spend your time laying it on the line JBUR, doesn't mean, to me, that you're always right. Cuz if right is right, and rights are right, then it's about more than, just yours or mine. Much talk these days championing convenience Bounty and sunny skies serve to lighten all our loads Thoughts placing us above, below or separate will kick the can, a little further down the road we're like rhizomes underground interconnected Of Indra's web, your knotted jewel shines, so will mine an orchestra drifting more out of tune Less of more (more) of less suits me just fine.
