Mathematics
It’s all mathematics
Practicing bad habits
Poorly made decisions
Buried alive deep in the ground
Swept underneath and tightly bound Volatile if found
History repeating
Fractals repeat effortlessly
Stick the spade in gently
Pull up the weeds
Make room for more seeds.
Formulaic movement
Calculate the method
Maybe different this time
Early to bed, early to rise
Early to work, early demise
You want to teach by example
But you’ve never had control
You know this leads to misery
Lying won’t make it go away
In a state of convalescing wellness
Hoping truth won’t take its toll
Changing your ways for ways you’ll keep
Help yourself before the truth finds you
Tell the truth tell the truth to you
Its all mathematics (This is no way to live)
Practicing bad habits (We need to alter this formula)
Quantify the outcomes
Sometimes lose it all
Sometimes you won’t fall

Mood Elevator
I’m stepping into my mood elevator
Just press the button Just press the button
I’m lounging around in my mood elevator
Going up going down feeling something feeling nothin
Others get aboard my mood elevator
They can make it rise and they can make it fall
And one has a dog that will pee in the corner
It’s not allowed on this lift anymore
No crowds allowed on my mood elevator
My mood will come down if it gets too heavy
When my mood gets stuck between floors
I don’t know where I am anymore
Gotta press the red button and then wait for someone
To pry me out of my broken mood elevator
When I get out I leave my mood elevator
I exit the building and go to the park
I watch the children run and sing
Then I get on my big mood swing

One Eyed Man
Many many years ago
there was a one eyed man
He sat upon a golden throne
And ruled a sightless land
His crowning lacked sagacity
He wasn’t aristocracy
They crowned him just cause he could see
He was a one eyed man
He was a careless guy
He had no depth of field
He guarded his one eye
With all that he could wield
He made a lot of silly rules
And rode upon a pack of mules
While showing off his family jewels
And no one knew at all
One day his kingdom was attacked
By monsters in the night
They honed in on his lonely eye
And robbed him of his sight
He ran into the streets and cried
“come everyone with me and hide!”
He led them off a cliff and died
Farewell to the one eyed man

Mirror Eyes
Mirror Eyes
Full of sky
See the highway
Which I ride
Mirror Eyes
Take a ride
In your mind
The road is wide
Experience the liquid wall
Watch it all cascade and fall
There’s nothing there
There’s nothing there
Nothing underneath it all
Turn inward and breathe
Cells asleep and they will dream
Spin into the present for a while
Jump up high a leap of faith
Close your eyes and meditate
Your third eye opens doors you never knew
Tapestry
Make believe
Focus on
The golden weave
Mirror eyes
No disguise
Can’t look away
From those mirror eyes
Multiply the shape and size
Fractals spiral in your eyes
There’s nothing there
There’s nothing there
There’s nothing up above the clouds
Science will coax the truth
Telomeres will shorten youth
Look into your microscope to see
Spin around and close your eyes
Write it down and theorize
Ask the universe and it tells you
Tapestry, make believe
Reach out now
Take what you need
Memory, take a ride
Can’t look away
From those mirror eyes
