Hubris has crowned us

Posted on 06.23.21 under Uncategorized

Fever dreams of sweat and heat
Seduced by the beat
Pulled into a fantasy
Screaming like a trapped banshee

Hubris has crowned us (tell me the truth)
Fortune’s debt has found us
Lover’s grief has bound us (tell me the truth)
Tides of pride will drown us

Flat broke with nowhere left to hide
Knocked out in shards of shattered pride
Followed a master, but they were flying blind
Can’t change the world can’t even change your mind


Hubris has crowned us (tell me the truth)
Fortune’s debt has found us
Lover’s grief has bound us (tell me the truth)
Tides of pride will drown us


Palpitations of our pounding hearts
Victims of the dark magic arts
Suckers for a charlatan’s poisoned words
In the Theater of the Absurd

There’s a missing face

But don’t worry, it’s going to be filled, soon!

And the mystery will be answered soon!

Like Sea & Sky

Posted on 05.28.21 under Uncategorized

As the dream fades away, into the rising sun
Another hopeful one, is lacing shoes to run
Is it flight or courage, is it fight or fear?
Will you look her in the eye, to prove that you’re sincere


Like sea and sky, you and I will never meet
Eye to eye, I will deny we can be complete
Like sea and sky, you and I will never meet
Eye to eye, I will deny we can be complete

Cutting straight to the bone, you told me right on the phone
Truth morphs to the crazy zone, and then you’re on your own
Fell for the trap of gold, had more than I could hold
It slipped right through my hands, built my castle on sand


Like sea and sky, you and I will never meet
Eye to eye, I will deny we can be complete
Like sea and sky, you and I will never meet
Eye to eye, I will deny we can be complete

Secrets whispered in my ears, confirming all of my fears
It has taken this many years, to finally shed some tears
Lessons learned from the past, mutual feelings don’t last
Flushed from my brain so fast, with a hormonal blast


Like sea and sky, you and I will never meet
Eye to eye, I will deny we can be complete
Like sea and sky, you and I will never meet
Eye to eye, I will deny we can be complete
