Presence of Mind

When love is divided factions in the mind
We delve out our portions trusting mostly our kind
In turn we’re left weakened, fractured and torn
Slightly sensing our own scorn
Our love has no limits, inexhaustible force
Revealing in shadows this obstacle course
Problems arising take root in our minds
Inexplicable design
Passing sadness, fading fear
Infiltrates our atmosphere
Causing blindness, causing harm
Yet there’s no cause for alarm
Sudden senseless suffering ceases
Attention turns our joy increases
We choose our frames so choose them wise
Many pathways will arise
Anticipate surprise
We’re alive
Focus distracted, connections come frayed
combative reactive media parade
The truth’s an impeccable source to be spread
Don’t let your instincts be misled
We care for our children, we care for our tribe
But where are the margins at which our cares subside?
Can we stretch our intentions to care for the whole
While relinquishing control?
Endlessly our visions shifting
Helplessly we follow suit
Loveencee our time has come to find
Presence of mind

Put A Smile in Your Mind

Put a smile in your mind if you feel inclined
Just for a moment
Put a smile in your mind you can realign
Only for a moment
Put a smile in your mind you may feel alive
Just for a moment
Put a smile in your mind
I know you need your smile (put it in your mind)
I know your friends need your smile (put it in your mind)
I know that the world needs your smile / So let me state the case
That if you put one in your mind it may just end up rocking your face
Put a smile in your mind if you feel inclined
Just for a moment
Put a smile in your mind you can realign
Only for a moment
Put a smile in your mind you may feel alive
Just for a moment
Put a smile in your mind
Cause you can’t wear that lonely face for long
Undo all those tightened muscles that don’t speak the truth
Cause we’re alive and it’s a blessing
We all woke up today got dressed and
Took a breath, digested,
Do you need anymore proof?
Put it in your mind, just for a moment
Put it in your mind, only for a moment
I know it may sound like a funked up voodoo abstraction
I know it may sound like new age snake oil prank
But I know that if just for one second you can see it right there in your mind
Then you can remove that uncomfortable disguise and liberate those beautiful eyes
I know the world is troubled please don’t misconstrue my words
Cause we can still be full of gratitude
We all are working for this justice
It takes love and time to trust this
Process will adjust this
World as it groans anew
Put a smile in your mind if you feel inclined
Just for a moment
Put a smile in your mind you can realign
Only for a moment
Put a smile in your mind you may feel alive
Just for a moment
Put a smile in your mind, in your mind
If only for a moment

We all die-e-oh
We all will die-e-o
Hey we will all die someday
No, we can not stop decay
Civilizations end
Our lives between the threads
How focused is your lens?
Stunned outside your father’s lawn
Look it is not all foregone
We cycle on and on
The queen was once a pawn
Certain phenomenon
I see your face / A lovely place
I see your face / As it starts to fade
I see your face / A lovely place
I see your face / You are not afraid
Where we’re going who can say?
Spin together, wash away
We must all go oh well
The only sure intel
Eternal Carousel
No we must not fear the pain
Loss will leave us bear and plain
Whether it’s preordained
Your burden is ingrained
Can’t stop the hurricane
I see your face / A lovely place
I see your face / As it starts to fade
I see your face / A lovely place
I see your face / You are not afraid
We all die-e-oh
We all will die-e-o
I see your face / A lovely place
I see your face / As it starts to fade
Possible mourning follows hopelessness
Separate presence beckons brokenness
Opposite futures pondered one will be
How would this be different?
This air gets to your brain
Consuming everyone
Getting harder to maintain
Invoking hardship triggers worry
But be patient no need to hurry
What once was urgent later is blurry
Try not to strain
We all die-e-oh
We all will die-e-o

Which of These Moments
05:02
|

The lovers sweet ignorance
Of a time without hindrance
Before the beautiful child came
with all its heartache and its bliss
Mother’s gestations paced
With a longing to embrace
The umbilical body floating
miraculously encased
Every moment...
The lover’s aptitude is
Tested upon debut
Past the peril new life emerges
Magic is renewed
And there’s a handful behind the door
Casting spells with dinosaurs
The incorrigible child’s growing
Blossoms and transforms
Every moment, every day
People fade and fall away
Time’s unending but time never tells
Which of these moments time propels
Which of these moments...
The Child’s seeds are sown
The lovers rest alone
Whatever’s left to offer
Is unwelcome or outgrown
As painful as it sounds
Some hopeful echoes resound
Past the peril new life emerges
Patient and profound
Every moment, every day
People fade and fall away
Time’s unending but time never tells
Which of these moments time propels
Which of these moments...Which of these

Not Gonna Worry
04:53

You called me up again and again
But pretty early on I could see that we wouldn’t be friends, no
I’m standing here now listening to your point of view
Not sure what you’ve been hearing, cause I know my song is true
I’m not gonna worry about you no more, not gonna worry about you
Not gonna worry about you no more, not gonna worry about you
I still got this restless feeling, questions linger incomplete
And these Boots of Spanish Leather are now Positively 4th Street
I’ve toiled with your recklessness and I’m ready for a break
What ever did you want me for? Are you really this opaque?
Cause with a little love
Maybe we could right our wrongs
Add a little forgiveness to our songs
You may be crazy, I may be proud
Still transformation is allowed
Not gonna worry about you no more, not gonna worry about you
Not gonna worry about you no more, not gonna worry about you
Cause I’ve known my worth long before your ostentatious review
I’m not gonna worry about you no more, not gonna worry about you
You’ve been spewing nonsense, you’ve been spinning lies
You might be the whole world’s savior you might be its demise
But I know one day what you’ve been sowin you will reap
And until then I won’t let you disrupt my sleep
Cause with a little love
Maybe we could right our wrongs
Add a little forgiveness to our songs
You may be crazy, we may be proud
Still transformation is allowed
Not gonna worry about you no more, not gonna worry about you
I’m not gonna worry about you no more, not gonna worry about you
And we’ll sing our song we’ll sing it sure as we scrape off your residue
I’m not gonna worry about you no more, not gonna worry about you
