Simplify Life
Why do I have such admiration for complication
And seldom see advantages of simplicity?
Is it the overall fault of divine creation?
Or is there something intrinsically wrong with only me?
I've spent my life stressing and working my heart out.
Now I'm not sure I know what it was all about.
My dedication to complication brought many a reward.
I can buy whatever, but now it's the time I can't afford.
Without further hesitation this complication I must destroy.
Or I'll never have a simple, happy life that few ever enjoy!

On the Outside People are Pretty
On the outside people are pretty,
But on the inside they are ugly,
On the outside people talk deeply,
But on the inside they are shallow,
On the outside people are tall,
But on the inside they are small,
On the outside people are charming,
But on the inside they are withdrawn,
On the outside people are sweet,
But on the inside they are sour,
On the outside people are loving,
But on the inside they are judging,
On the outside people are open,
But on the inside they are divided,
On the outside people are happy,
But on the inside they are empty.
The inner and outer worlds must be balanced,
In order to achieve authenticity,
The inner and outer worlds must be synchronised,
In order to achieve equanimity.
For the truth creates simplicity,
And simplicity removes the tension,
For the truth creates clarity,
And clarity removes the complication.
Speaking truth, hearing truth, living truth,
Balances the inner and outer realities,
Making it possible to live an extraordinary life,
Free from tension, complication and duality.

Ugly Circle
The cycle continues
The circle goes round
By the sins of the fathers
The children fall down
From generation to generation
Complication on complication
Wounded spirits, battered souls
Thats the way it always goes
Daddy yells
and
Mommy lies
Children learn their selfish pride
Children grow up
They are what they're taught
Another generation in the circle is caught.

There Must Be Nothing Complicated
life is simple
directions are simple
up and down
left to right
the middle is there
but it is not and must not
be considered
a complication, and so is doubt
at the middle of our
beliefs and so is faith
the disregards
what should have been doubted
life is simple
like your dimple when you smile
when you see me
loving you.

Summer's Coming
In my head I hear a humming,
Summer, summer summer's coming,
Soon we're going on vacation,
But there is a complication,
Day by day the problem's growing,
We don't know yet where we're going,
Mother likes the country best,
That's so she can read and rest,
Dad thinks resting is a bore,
He's for fishing at the shore,
Sister says swimming's cool,
Swimming in the swimming pool,
I don't care,
I'd be happy anywhere,
In my head I hear a humming,
Summer, summer, summer's coming,
Soon we're going on vacation,
But we have a complication,
Day by day the problem's growing,
Where oh where will we be going?

In choosing a theory, one should pay attention to simplicity in hypotheses only. Simplicity in computation can be of no weight in the balance of probabilities. Nature is not embarrassed by difficulties of analysis. She avoids complication only in means. Nature seems to have proposed to do much with little: it is a principle that the development of physics constantly supports by new evidence.

Compulsive Existentialism
i want it to be
simple,
not even unique
so that
it cannot be
noticeable,
i do not want
any sophistication
or any
complication
but the more i want it to be simple
it gets more complicated
the more i put order to it
the more
it becomes unmanageable
i want to put it inside
a system
so i can easily trace and
manipulate it
but it simply has a life of its
own
and it makes its own
decisions
i want to contain it
in a box
tape it
and create a vacuum in
it
but it knows its ins and outs
and knows
how to break out from
boxes
i want to keep it
but it
knows what freedom is
it cannot be
mine
and now
outwitted
i have become
itself.

Learn To Fly
Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for complication
Looking cause I'm tired of lying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
I think I'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything is alright.
I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause im tired of trying
Make My way back home when i learn to fly
Make my way back home when i learn to
Fly along with me

About A Lady
she writes, with all disappointments
her chin on her elbow her feet right on her ears
plans are falling out like buds that did not make it to become flowers
what is so simple has shattered into a complication
out of control, her life has become, she stops for a while,
she needs this moment
she poses the question: what went wrong along the way?
love was there
compassion was abundant
he sends her a note through her email: darling, don't worry
my love shall see you through
she is restless, jobless, she tries everything to please
what boredom was there
life is also a matter of luck, she concludes
she writes him, forget it, let me do it without you
without myself in this
i will let life do its share,
luck to manifest. I will wait, she says, I can always wait.
This time, i will do nothing.
Let the chair come to me.

Complication!

It’s doesn’t a matter
Where you... are
It’s doesn’t a matter
You love me or Not
It’s doesn’t a matter
What so ever
But...
Peoples are questioning
From me
Every day, every year
Evens they know our history
I say to them
Thanks for the remember
Those lovely couple
That They seen in history
But in here
I want to say you
You are my lovely complication
I love it...

To those - and they are now the majority - who see human life merely as a development and complication of animal life all forms of behaviour which cannot produce certificates of an animal origin and of survival value are suspect. Friendship's cer¬tificates are not very satisfactory.

Foresight
With open arms
I'll be held down by the Spirit of God
I refuse to turn away
By the world and its lies
Everlasting words like water flows through my heart
As the wisdom runs deep within Foreseen through my Savior
The complication has been done
With wisdom and truth inside
No reflections from the past will come
And there will be no misconception
That would turn my faith away when I'm with You
Life the endless maze will not be so narrow
Soon time will not have to wait
For soon I will go against what awaits me
With open arms I'll be held down by the Spirit of God
I refuse to turn away
By the world and its lies
Everlasting words like water flows through my heart
As the wisdom runs deep within Foreseen through my Savior
The complication has been done With wisdom and truth inside
No reflections from the past will come
And there will be no misconception
That would turn my faith away when I'm with You
I will lift up my spirit to be with You.

Livin On The Edge
Theres something wrong with the world today
I dont know what it is
Somethings wrong with our eyes
Were seeing things in a different way
And God knows it aint his
It sure aint no surprise
(ya!)

Were livin on the edge
Were livin on the edge
Were livin on the edge
Were livin on the edge
Theres someting wrong with the world today
The lightbulbs gettin dimmed
Theres meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister, youre a better man than i

Were livin on the edge
You cant help yourself from fallin
Livin on the edge
You cant help yourself from fallin

You cant help yourself from fallin

You cant help yourself from fallin
Tell me what you think about our sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin
Even if it wasnt would you still come crawling
Back again - I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again
Tell me what you think about our situation
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin
Even if it wasnt would you still come crawling
Back again - I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again
Something right with the world today
And everybody knows its wrong
But we can tell em no
Or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sight Of The Beautiful
My God what a beautiful sight, its the most beautiful I have ever seen. My Lord it is amazing what you can created by just saying simple words. Sometimes in life things can be simple but other times there that can be a hail storm on a sunny day. Many say that life is hard and death is simple, for as life comes with complication, death comes with freedom of letting go. Oh God, My God oh is this so beautiful, beautiful the stars in the night shy, beautiful as the pillar of creation, beautiful as the earth from the moon, and beautiful as a first kiss. My God Oh God how is this so beautiful? For such simple words as "let there be" can alter into reality, what all of earth should see, something that you have created just for me. Oh God, My God I love you so, for you have showed me the way to all that is beautiful. Oh God, My God for this you are beautiful, as beautiful as a rainbow in the lunar shy, those are rare to see, but so is the one whose eyes are on the sparrow. The things make you beautiful my Lord, and your beauty keeps me going, to see tomorrow, to see another day, to see everyday, and to eventually see you. Oh God My God you created beauty in its magnificence, and you never demand anything in return, only ask to return our love by loving. For we are created by of love, out of love, for the purposes of love, and that you, nay We can not be more beautiful. Oh God My God what a beautiful sight.

Kylie's Smiley Mix (extended)
I'm seeing in your way
But I don't believe it's true
That I'm not the one to make you happy
It would be so wrong
For us to break in two
But do what you gotta do
I hope that you find someone
Who can love you like I do
I'll be strong inside
But I'll still be loving you
It's no secret [4x]
When I first meet you
How you changed my life that day
But with each tomorrow
You just seem to drift away
Then I discovered
That you were cheating
You were cheating on me
But I was the last to know
Ooh, ooh
Our love was a life
And it's no secret
It's no secret
How you hurt me inside
And it's no secret
Because you told everybody
Rain falling down
Another minute passes by
I'll wait for you
But this time I won't cry
Where are you now
Are you with another love
It's not the first time
You stood me up and let me down
I, I, I'm wondering why
I still love you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I still want you
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
Did you believe I'd let you down
Your jealous heart
Gave you the runaround
You couldn't see that
I would always be a friend
If you could look inside your heart
And understand what's tearing you apart
You gotta trust someone
Don't let hate get in the way
Just turn it into love
Turn it into love
And open up your heart
And you'll never feel ashamed
If you turn it, turn it
Turn it into love
In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about you all the time
In my mind of celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking you could be m

Any new venture goes through the following stages: enthusiasm, complication, disillusionment, search for the guilty, punishment of the innocent, and decoration of those who did nothing.
And it will fall out as in a complication of diseases, that by applying a remedy to one sore, you will provoke another; and that which removes the one ill symptom produces others.
