Those Times Passed
Keep your focus and your mind,
On what is observed!
With an awakening consciousness to find.
And not on the passing of time.
Since the speed of it...
That time with us to come,
To rapidly from us split...
Will lose you, me and others too,
To reminisce memories....
With a wishing done to return all of it.
And those times passed for all of us...
Are not going to be relived,
To see or breathe again...
Not anytime soon.

Truths Dismissed
Chasing impossibilities.
Like a change to redo,
And replace yesterdays' activities.
Has come to be embraced,
By those retrieving memories...
With hopes to see them,
'Specifically' retraced...
To have the times from them now lived,
Erased!
Chasing impossibilities,
Are those in grief with disbelief...
Each moment existing,
Had approval as they witnessed...
The unfolding of reality.
And it is the reality many wish to change.
Many can not accept,
Expressions of indifference...
Delivers consequences.
No matter what is claimed.
That which is observed,
And passes an acceptance by silent lips...
Is not going to suddenly vanish,
Because some find a tolerance...
Over a time that has allowed its growth,
People then indifferent...
Now whine it upsets and makes them sick.
Chasing impossibilities.
Like a change to redo,
And replace yesterdays' activities.
Has come to be embraced,
By those retrieving memories...
With hopes to see them,
'Specifically' retraced...
To have the times from them now lived,
Erased!
Goodluck to those now awakening,
To truths dismissed.
And finding themselves upset by this.
Wanting answers to questions...
And more time to reminisce,
Those times gone never again for them to exist.
Goodluck to those now awakening,
To truths dismissed.
And finding themselves upset by this.
Wanting answers to questions...
And more time to reminisce,
Those times gone never again for them to exist.

Time (feat. Na Na)
One more time
I saddle up and leave for no mans land
like so many times before
they say that lightning strikes not once but twice
and I ain't gonna stay
cause I can't take anymore
When memories make themselves heard
go away - go away
you know that you gave me your word
gonna go on my own
Time, time take me where
I'm no longer a stranger
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Time, time take me there
and with the speed of lightning
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Now I know
here's where the story ends and I have come
to the point of no return
and when I'm looking back at the times
where it all began
I know that I still have much to learn
When memories make themselves heard
go away - go away
you know that you gave me your word
gonna go on my own
Time, time take me where
I'm no longer a stranger
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Time, time take me there
and with the speed of lightning
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Gonna go on my own
Cause I can't take anymore
ain't gonna stay
ain't gonna stay
Time, time will take me there
I will go anywhere
I know you'll run along
cause I can't take anymore
ain't gonna stay
Time, time take me where
I'm no longer a stranger
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way
Time, time take me there
and with the speed of lightning
I'll do anything
I know I'll find a way

Wake Up, Baby
Did you think that yesterdays,
Were coming back to be relived?
Without witnessing everyday...
Dismissing what each day brings and gives.
Did you believe that sitting,
Wishing for a time gone and passed...
Would actually make a difference,
If you held on...
Wanting those moments to always last.
As the sands of time,
Quickly slipped...
Through an hour glass!
Did you think that yesterdays,
Were yours alone to keep?
As you tossed and turn with hopes...
Losing more than just your sleep!
Did you wish for a season,
That came...
Never to go away?
Wake up, baby...
From your spell!
Catching up with reality...
Is a choice you should choose.
Than to dwell in your own created hell,
To lose your mind today.
You will not be receiving any interest,
From that kind of deposit!
These times are not on hold,
For that kind of mind!

Just Passing Time
Passing time,
Time passes.
And longing for times past.
With no pastime,
I think of past times.
Times of joy.
Sorrowful times.
Layered.
Like an alluvial plain,
I am inundated, flooded.
As the past floods in
Passing by the inner eye
I time travel.
Bad thoughts by passed
Passed all thought
They pass away.
Pass into the past
To lie again quiescent
A timely demise
For times past.

Very Few Are Concerned
Whatever it is that has come to sit in your mind,
That you find you are now ready to come to grips with...
I hope you are ready,
To grab a hold onto this fact...
People have moved on!
And very few are concerned with that!
Lessons learned,
Have put some on the right track!
The time to act is when the situation presents itself.
When it is in your face with clarity.
Not to brush to the side as if it does not exist.
That day might arrive when it opens your head,
With a consciousness you can not resist.
Like now!
When you're the only one making time for it!
When time for it has gone!
You will find no one here,
Hungering to reminisce.

Memories in the mind
Memories are made in the mind,
and there if you search, you will find.
There in the mind, so many things,
so many memories it brings.
So many years have passed,
of our youth, away we have cast
some memories happy, some memories sad,
memories have I, when I was a lad.
Memories have I, of a dog named shep,
memories of him, when he kept in step.
Memories of my friends, when we played,
of those days, for ever memories relayed.
Memories of family and fun,
when we talked until the setting of sun.
Memories of washing our fifty-seven Ford,
and wanting things we couldn't afford.
Memories are made in the mind,
long lost, search and you will find,
memories of days gone by,
searching memories, oh how you try.
Memories will fade out,
you have forgotton, what it's about,
memories lost in the mind,
dig them out and you will find.

Anytime
Gonna get in the car with a smile and the burn that I put on my arm the day you
Went away girl and I probably wont come back around agian.
(repeat)
Gonna drive all night through the red lights flying, over the hill to the
County line blind, forgetting to forget that youre not mine.
(chorus 1) kiss your appocolyps for the last, last time runaway runaway runaway
I cant find anytime you think it changed your mind,
(chorus 2) anytime you want jump back too me anytime, jump back to me anytime,
Jump back to me anytime, come back one more time anytime.
Theres a place where I go to take the edge of the day, when the radios up your
Face fades away, flicker flicker dim and fade to black.
With a back pack packed, with a mug and a map. gonna drive to fast, gonna not
Look back, light the night with a blow torch and a match.
(chorus 1+2)
Got no time reason or rime, not gonna stop, gonna ride all night
(repeat three times)
(chorus 2)(without you want)
(chorus 1)(twice)
For the last time (4 times)

Something In The Way She Moves
Something in the way she moves
Theres something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If Im feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
Shes around me now
Almost all the time.
n(and) if Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
n(and) shes been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.___________
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:
It isnt what shes got to say
Or how she thinks or where shes been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesnt much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
A-shes around me now
Almost all the time.
If Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
And shes been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine.___________

Awakening Means....
awakening means....
i can hear you!
i can see you!
i can taste you!
i can feel you!
i breathe in our suffering,
i breathe out our freedom.
awakening means...
no need for a name!
no need for possessions.
no need to conquer!
no need to convert!
i breathe in our humanity,
i breathe out our equality.
awakening means....
i cannot help but care!
i am already involved.
i am immersed and drenched.
i have countless forms.
i breathe in our common labor,
i breathe out our sacred journey.
awakening means...
the journey is the destination.
we are the journey.
we are the destination!

Room To Breathe
You ain't done nothin' wrong but I think we need to talk
You might be the one but before we go too far
I need a little time to figure out my heart
Who could ask for more but I need to know for sure
I haven't been myself from the minute that we met
I ran into your world and kind of walked out on myself
All those dreams I had I began to second guess or you
One too many questions until I know the truth
I need room to breathe
A little time to think
To make sure I don't lose me
I need room to breathe
I know you're not to blame and I swear there's no one new
This has to do with me and not a thing to do with you
So don't try to understand
You don't have a thing to prove to me
If you really love me just give me what I need
Room to breathe
A little time to think
To make sure I don't lose me
I need room to breathe
Please don't take this wrong
And please don't turn away
I just don't want to look back
One day and say
I need room to breathe
A little time to think
To make sure I don't lose me
I need room to breathe
Room to breathe

Leave The State of Nirvana
You slay me - my eyes have gone
right out of focus and my mind has
changed into a pulp of sweet, happy
jelly emitting glimmer and shine -
I cannot work like this; I feel
like a soap bubble shimmering with
rainbows - glittering everywhere; I
feel like a fairy floating about -
a sprite dancing for joy - how shall
I find power to leave this state of
nirvana and return to cold-blooded
left-brain consciousness
to do my work - to focus my mind
like a laser-beam on duties and
responsibilities - Can a fairy turn
into an ant?
That is my instruction today, and oh,
can it be done; why should the butterfly
return to the chrysalis - why, this is the
story of human life, we do it all wrong...

Memories Cant Wait
Memories cant wait
Do you remember anyone
Here?
No you dont remember
Anything at all
Im sleeping, Im flat
On my back
Never woke up, had no
Regrets
Theres a party in my
Mind...and it never stops
Theres a party up
There all the time...theyll
Party till they drop
Other people can go
Home...other peoplle they can split
Ill be here all the
Time...i can never quit
Take a walk through the
Land of shadows
Take a walk through the
Peaceful meadows
Try not to look so
Disappointed
It isnt what you hoped
For, is it?
Theres a party in my
Mind...and I hope it never stops
Im stuck here in this
Seat...i might not stand up
Other people can go
Home...everyone else will split
Ill be here all the
Time...i can never quit
Everything is very quiet
Everyone has gone to
Sleep
Im wide awake on
Memories
These memories cant
Wait.

Broken..... But Not Tearing Apart
many times in my life..... i've been broken
yet! i persist and stand strong picking up
those scattered broken parts, wishing to hold it
back in my hands
I have to be strong..... though at time i knew
iam weak to hold on, where i always i've stand
making the best stronghold to defend, of what
has been broken
my quest leads me..... to pursue what is beyond
the miles i step, for i know iam broken, deeping
and soaking my tears in your memories,
bubbling like a fountain of tears in the valley of
no return
my heart callous me to close every moment i
stumble, awakening my soul pushing me to be
strong and hold me to cool myself.... where i may
loose everything i cherish
be strong dear life..... life has to go on.....its not
anything else that lose your whole being, nor your
tears leads you to your grave..... your broken
heart is not all the way long to tear you apart
.....but it is just a beginning that you are strong...
to be broken again

Where Does The Time Go?
Ive got a great big problem that I cant fix.
I think its quarter to three when its half past six.
Everythings early or way too late.
Now I never can remember the day and the date.
Never used to be this much trouble before.
I used to watch the clock but not anymore.
I used to keep track of the time Id lose,
But now the whole thing has me so confused.
I have to find a new job every week or so,
cause no one needs a man whos always fast or slow.
Still youll get no complaint from me,
But what can the answer be?
Where does the time go when Im with you?
How many hours do I lose every day?
They recombine when Im missing you,
Slowing me down like a digital delay.
Where does the time go when Im with you?
Why does it seem like theres never enough?
Its just like Im living split in two.
Two kinds of time when youre out and in love.
Theres only so much pleasure a man can take,
til his brain starts to go and his senses fade.
Doesnt need to eat or drink or sleep.
Cant feel a thing cause hes in too deep.
Walks around thinking that the world is fine,
While an alien force takes over his mind.
And then he throws away every single dime,
And the last thing to go is his sense of time.
But then if youre having fun,
Who cares if youre that far gone?
They tell me that times not free.
What did time ever do for me?
And if I dont see thats wrong,
Then maybe Im too far gone.

Goodbye To Love
Ill say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just cant seem to find it
So Ive made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though its not the easy way
I guess Ive always know
Id say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And Ill find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for
All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
Ill go on as best I can
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that Ive been wrong
But for now this is my song
And its goodbye to love
Ill say goodbye to love

Early Works - Time
Times of troubled pasts
Times of troubled future
Times of troubled present
More is the man who is great of mind
More is the man who is great of soul
More is the man who is great of love
Time is the man who thinks of nothing
Time is the soul in deep despair
Time is the fool of no awakening
More is the time of unbound less wastes
More is the time all of us wastes
More is time, is time, is time

Asking Myself Why
I sat down to write a letter
to an old friend of mine,
someone I had not seen
for thirty or forty years.
Only realizing as I put pen to paper
how the years had flown by,
though it only seem like yesterday
we had met on the street
and had a long chat together.
I realized then to my regret
that I did not know if
they were alive or dead.
If they were gone,
yet another thread to my past
had disappeared forever.
A curtain of sadness fell over me
as my memories re-enacted
moments from so long ago,
moments that will never return.
My pen hovered above the paper
and no words could I write
as my mind clouded with memories
of friends I had let go.
It's so easy to say see you later,
when half the time we never do.
Then comes today like now
and you realise there maybe no later.
Those friends of yesterday maybe gone
and only reside within your memories.
Tears glazed my eyes
and I gave a silent sigh.
I wondered how may more times
will I ask myself why
in the passing of time.
Why I just sat and let them go.

Even Those Paid to Be Biased
People are awakening to realize,
They've been played.
Even those paid to be biased,
To spy on others...
Find they've been set up,
To sit and quack like feathered ducks.
Eyes all over the place,
Are opening wide to see...
Exactly who those victims are.
And recognizing everyday,
The identity of the wolves.
And knowing they've been branded as sheep.
People are awakening to realize,
They've been played.
Even those paid to be biased,
To spy on others...
Find they've been set up,
To sit and quack like feathered ducks.
And the ones who tremble and shake in their limousines,
Find they feel desperate not to be revealed, caught or seen.
Afraid their deceiving and greedy days,
Rapidly lose in snob appeal and popularity.
And in their social circles they sweat, yes!
All of them are suffering in nervous regret!
People are awakening to realize,
They've been played.
Even those paid to be biased,
To spy on others...
Find they've been set up,
To sit and quack like feathered ducks.
