about

One year, after California, I lived in a little drafty house in Wisconsin for a winter. Our friends had a new-born and asked us to be god-parents, so we did, we are.
The winter consisted of chopping wood and stoking the fire, while the women, dog and new-born stayed warm and made sure hats and food were being made. The only rooms warm enough to be in were the kitchen or living room. We'd go to sleep seeing our breath some nights. But it was a quaint stay and very well-needed time to sit in limbo after a long year.
While sitting on the couch in the living room one day, I opened up an old notebook, found a rant long enough, and threw four chords to it. Through that, came this. It's been a work in progress. One of the many I look forward to having a full band accompany me with.
Played since 2014

lyrics

Some days I pace in a daze, in a haze, in a maze of maze in my brain
and page through all these epiphanies and strange dreams.
But became confused so I used and abused,
I got consumed by what I consumed.
Got sucked in and stuck in
until I said “Fuck it man, it’s time to do somethin’”
And that’s when it spit me out of it’s mouth
that chewed me up and swallowed me down.
Now I hold the crown once again like I did when I was a kid
the only difference is, I’ve grown up a bit.
And now my fire’s lit and I’m stokin’ it
No longer smokin’ cause I’ve let all the oxygen in
No longer will I live in sin, no no no no
‘cause there’s already been too many targets missed.

And I know that I rest in Him (It) and in Him (It) I do not rest
So I put an “x” on my chest because that is where the true treasure is hidden.
In the heart where it starts and the first sparks flew way before I left my Mother’s womb.
And this womb it is my tomb.
Yeah, this womb it is my tomb, and this womb it is my tomb,
yeah this womb is my tomb,
And this tomb is my womb.

So now I’m,
Chasin’ my dreams even if that means to drop everything and leave.
For to see one must believe, and to believe one must see in his own mind with closed eyes.
Just do, no don’t try!
So I glide on this rock, in space
No stocks or 401K’s cause
Creator created this place to create us who create love no hate so,
Like a dove come, go and play,
Strum, drum and sing all of them blues away.
What you choose to do is okay just as long as you stay true to your truth man,
Don’t stray far from your path,
Learn from your scars and your map,
But don’t get trapped cause the entrance of the cave may collapse,
then there ain’t no turnin’ back or flirtin’ with the past
There ain’t no turnin’ back.
When the entrance of the cave you became entranced and entrained and entrapped in
There ain’t no turnin’ back or flirtin’ with the past, x3
There ain’t no turnin’ back

So, You are all right here,
you are already all ready.
You are all right, right here
You are already, All Ready.
You are all ready, alright,
You are alright already.
You’re already alright,
“Cause this is Heaven yes, this is Heaven yes.

This Is Heaven yes, This Is Heaven yes
THIS IS HEAVEN YE-EH-EH-ES
This Is Heaven yes, This Is Heaven yes

And just know that you rest in It but in It You do not rest.
So put an “x” on your chest cause that is where your true treasure is hidden.
In the heart where it starts and the first sparks flew
way before you left your mother’s womb
And this womb it is your tomb.

Yeah, this womb it is your tomb,
yeah, this womb it is your tomb.
Yeah, this womb it is your tomb,
And this tomb is your womb.

Lately I’ve been cravin’,
Tryin’ to make shit happen,
but the mailman has yet to deliver my package, literally.
And the lady who came and say she’d save me
Left right after callin’ me “baby”
Alone, broke and crazy
Heartbroken token rez,
Don’t know if and/or when I’ll ever pay my rent
‘Cause I spent every last cent in my wallet and mind
Trying to find, but what is sought is inside.
It’s a sense of clarity and pride
A strive to thrive
For not every man lives, OH
But every man dies.
And hell if I’m waitin’ for heaven
Cause I see it every sunrise,
And as the sun sets in the west I feel at peace knowing come morning time,
It’ll rise in the east.

The circle and order of inevitabilities keeps I smiling in these square claustrophobic cities that we call pretty and say “Oh the convenience!”
These and other actions statements leave I speechless while spinnin’ in space
Yet nobody seems to hear me ‘cause I’ve held it all in
Though the time has come that I will show her him they you and them
That though I am sore and poor I shall soar and roar.
That though I am sore and poor I shall soar and roar.
THOUGH I AM SORE AND POOR,
I SHALL SOAR AND ROAR.
You know what I’ll say?

I’ll shout “To hell with it!” and show you heaven.
I’ll shout “To hell with it!” and show you heaven.
I’ll shout “To hell with it!” cause this is heaven yes this is heaven yes.
x2

So, You are alright here
You are already all ready.
You are alright right here
You are all ready already.
You are alright already,
You’re already alright.
You’re already alright,
You’re alright already.

And just know that we rest in It and in It we do not rest.
So let’s put an “x” on our chest cause that is where the true treasure is hidden.
In the heart where it starts and the first sparks flew.
Way before we left our Mother’s womb,
And this womb it is our tomb

Yeah, this womb it is our tomb,
Yeah, this womb it is our tomb,
Yeah, this womb it is our tomb,

And this tomb is our womb.
