Enthusiastic Insanity
Move On!
You walk into your house to find a leak in the ceiling.
Funneling Down to the ground,
There’s no one around to help relieve it.
Saved your soul, saved your image
Now, it’s all… all my fault?
Two words
Come out of his mouth for six months proceeding.
Silence, discomfort all around:
It gravitates... It's seeping!
Days go by- it’s time to make up!
Weeks go by- it’s time to give up!
Months go by- it’s time to get out…
But they say it’s my Enthusiastic Insanity?
Present: three years of no words.
Many are dead and gone.
Two words, they conquered all around
they said the ones proceeding:
“Enthusiastic Insanity”
Let me be!

Smoke drifting in the air
No matter if you want it
Hopes we all try to breath in
No other option there
only to escape its presence
Oh no (x2)
Its going in your lungs
Its going down your tongue
Its going through your brain
It’s happening anyways!
Impurify your lungs
No ceiling fans
Or propped out windows
To leave the air in.
It's not carin'… Will it be okay?
Hesitating. Hovering over your head.
No one protects themselves
Masks selling off the shelves
They’re breathing in that black cold air!
They’re going by the head
Goin’ for money spent
They can’t take care of themselves
Sitting out on the street looking out for things to eat
They can’t escape it in just a tent
Worst time at 3 am
Breathin' in that black cold air
Its going in your lungs
Its going down your tongue
Its going through your brain
It’s happening anyways.

Moving Forward Behind Blind Minds
Chasing Borders to Escape the Binds
Here It Begins the Big Migration
Escapees of Our Own Nation
We Fall Into the Northern Lights
Fall Into the Northern Lights
Building Upwards Towards Self-Destruction
In For Bigger, Better Corruption
Completely Out of Our Control
Our Minds Set on Things Without a Soul
We Fall Into the Northern Lights
Fall Into the Northern Lights
Higher, Higher, Higher We Go.

Here It Is
Landscapes pass
A year’s end at day’s end
Mountains silhouetted
Under Rainbows wash away:
Here It Is.
Driving Down two thousand roads
To nowhere from nowhere
Bursting through the canyon walls
I hear the Angel’s Land they call…
Here It Is, Here It Is.
Nowhere to run, nothing to hide from.
Rivers running faster now-
Yet all in all it’s all the same.
In the end we remain in place.
Look for my sign inside the book and on the road:
Here It Is.
Here we are and here we ever will be.

Wondering When
Streetlights light up the night
Waiting for the train in Emeryville
Long hours ahead to get to crossing lines
To the heav’n of Whistler-ville
Bends and Valleys and Sights Unseen
Hanging Bridges and Talking Trees
Tunnels they roll around the bend
Here we are Wondering When
Get Stir Crazy Snack Bar Screaming now
5 minute smoke break in between
Talking with strangers over cards and meals
Sitting in the sight-seeing car of dreams
To see the bends and Valleys and Sights Unseen
Hanging Bridges and Talking Trees
Tunnels roll through the mountain bend
Here we are, Wondering When
Praise Him, Lord Jesus, In their family car
Tour guide is talking about 1984
Portland to Seattle: Stuck groups on the bus
To cross the lines of Heav’n above
To see the bends and valleys and sights unseen
Hanging Bridges and Talking Trees
Tunnels Roll through the mountain bend
Here we are wondering when. Choo Choo!

2020 Vision
I went to the mall to get some new shades.
I had some cash to burn, essentially got paid.
The woman at the counter said to get my eyes examined,
I told her I had 20/20 vision but she then demanded,
Cover my left eye! Read the sign!
In large words it was too well defined.
From that day forward it never left my mind.
It read C-O-V-I-D-1-9.
Come On: Let’s Get Up!
Dance on your feet
Now: Let’s Stand Up! 2020 vision
Let’s say what we mean
It’s So clear now: 2020 vision
We have to take what we need
We can’t lose our right- History on repeat.
Government takes advantage of inability to gather
Demolished constitution - takes greed with the power
Masking indecision to combat this division
Despite all the changes, they’re built on Systemic racism
Forced a broken system - built upon hate
Non-essential workers - evicted just to scrape
This all distracts - from environmental pollution
As our world slips away - into natural dissolution
Every day is another chance
To go forward in kindness and practice compassion
Exemplify! Stand up for what is right!
Unify in power despite isolation.
Now is our chance: our time to fight!
We are in this together, we have no choice,
But to bring the change we need
In order to end our time As Best We Can
