Ok my first lyrics post, please be gentle!

Bright Sky Eyes

The horizons within your eyes,
show sunsets that distort all skies,
cloud forms inter twine
like lovers sublime,
tears fall from your cheek,
and I am to week
to catch the falling due,
summer rain warm, sweet
like the thought of you.

Disassembled heart beats,
mixed with samples of my soul,
enchanted thoughts take my spirit
into the Pupil’s deepest whole,
falling free,
and free falling,
failing to see
we seesawing,
and I can hear your voice calling,
but passion is mute and I’m stalling.

escaping gravity's fix on earthly bodies
we ride on the wings of love,
soaring though Iris skies
to find the tear ducts above,
as you reach out and hold my hand
I see their laden with time
nothing else to do
but disappear within rhyme.

But the tic toc is catching us up
and our time’s running out,
I wish the voice I hear
would shout stop, and cry out!
I leave you behind
as I step to new lights,
my vision may be impaired
but yours still seems twice as bright!

I'm stationed overseas, so I'm away from my lady a lot. So I've tried to harness these blue feelings into a song for her. It's called "Anchored Feelings", and it's about a woman who's man is on a ship and he's often away.

It's the first song I ever wrote, and I'm not sure just yet how fast I want it to be. We're soon to get married and I really want to perform it for her then. It's still in the works.

ANCHORED FEELINGS
(verse 1)
She turns away
She knows their time is over now
and lets his hands go
as a tear runs down her face

(chorus)
One final kiss
A warm embrace
The prospect of tomorrow
She'll have her love someday
The ocean breeze
The crashing waves
across the seas and time
Her love will come again.

Haven;t written lyrics in eons (since late 80's actually) but I dug these up, from a song that was performed lived with an old band, Insect Affect (in which I played guitar but occasionally doubled on bass for some songs). These lyrics were derived from a series of dreams I had over a couple of months back then, circa 1987;

UPSTAIRS:

By the kitchen
In the back room
To wrestle with a large cat
Look for raw materials
To feed your--

Raw materials to feed your inner and outermost desires
And those aspects of yourself which you thought you can;t control
But always had control of anyway
So there!

Go out in the rainstorm
Caress the car
Drive through the wall
Find yourself on an island
An island where--

An island where you don;t have to worry
About anything you may have said or done in the last 10 years
That could possibly offend some non-existent religious group or political action committee.

Let me by
Let me down
Let me Upstairs

Look in the mirror you see the devil
Look at other people you see enemies
Look at yourself and you see
Everything

I'm a friend of an enemy
Of the state in which I live
It's a place I call Upstairs
Don't shut the door!

Let me by
Let me down
Let me Upstairs

New one. I'm thinking this will be the new album closer.

GOLIATH'S TOWER
Upon the form of a sling and stone,
and a soldier all alone.
who stands to question and believe,
who won't be chained and told he's free,
they look down in all their power,
the giants atop Goliath's Tower.

"Faith is for fools against us,
so it's time to turn around,
it's us who you will bow to,
or we will strike you down!"

"You do not control me,
and I will stand to show us all,
to believe the bigger that they are,
the harder that they fall!"

*********************************************

Upon the path of a single stone,
guided by an unseen hand unknown,
with a power that passes all of men,
they watch a pebble spell their end.
And down they fall with all their power,
crushed in the ruins of Goliath's Tower.

lol. That's pretty much the idea. :p


It's funny though, how so many candidates play the "God card" in the running for an election to win the votes of "evangelicals", and then reject any suggestions that deal with any specific religion to keep the whole country "Non-offensive". What's funnier is that the people who we supposedly offend are typically totally ok with us if we're respectful to them, which is what any true follower of Christ should be. You don't win people to the Lord by being derogatory toward them or their faith (or lack thereof).

my school song isn't going so well, but it's funny

be on time don't be tardy, perfect attendance pizza party

come to school, keep quiet, and do your ****, earn a grade you'll be happy with

don't be hostile, keep it "name of school" style

this song needs more lines and hooks, being an art teacher is harder than it looks

This is one of mine on the way, still need a lot of work. Put tripple dots where the words fail to come to me. The rest of it is basics, might change still. Don't know yet.

Jupiter

All the way
All the way in
Snake’s hiss from out a den
Wad through a maze of memory
Blood drips from my hands
As I shed my dead skin
All the way in
Keep my lungs from the dust
Cloths the dirt I’m diggin’
Prying open the door

Keeper, desperate hands, keep on diggin’ up the past
Keeper, sooth with your eye, diggin’ for the ultra high
Keeper, of the universe, oh yeah!

Take the wheel, take the wheel
Take the wheel, take the wheel
Jupiter stand your ground, and take down
Veil and doubt, the dead end now
All the way down

Keeper, of wandering earth, …
Deeper, spiral down, …
Keeper, of the universe, oh yeah!
Give us one more mile
Give me one more try
I could see it in his eyes
I could feel it in his smile

“There’s always one sun to burn my skin
To purge my soul, way within
Now that’s one fine exit!”
