He sings to her his ancient art form’s dead.
The dream he prays upon is long since dead.
The light he sees will shine on somebody else.
He shields his eyes. Denies the scars and the welts.
His friends perpetuate his hopeless dream.
Without he’d just fall apart at the seams.
He’s better off believing he’ll never fail.
The truth would wreck him and he’d wind up in jail.
Someone is winning now. He eats a sacred cow.
The law just don’t apply to iconoclasts.
The innocent are fools. Stop playing by the rules
The system’s worse, they say, then the problems they’re out to mend.
There’s someone born today who’s star will shine bright.
There is another who’ll just fail and fight.
Is it determination or determinism?
Is it environment or is it in the jism?
Someone is winning now. He eats a sacred cow.
The law just don’t apply to iconoclasts.
The innocent are fools. Stop playing by the rules
The system’s worse, they say, then the problems they’re out to mend.
Someone winning now. He eats a sacred cow.
The law just don’t apply to iconoclasts.
The innocent are fools. Stop playing by the rules
The system’s worse, they say, then the problems they’re out to mend.

What can I do for you Ruth Ann
Fantasy romping is my plan
Can I just borrow you a while
Cause Seeing your face, it makes me smile
What can I do for your Ruth Ann
I am an ugly insane man
Should I Sit silent in my room
Or should I talk to friends on Zoom
Dreaming of you helps me forget
About the Pandemic -so upset
As the world races for a cure
Please let me hide in your evil allure
Will you allow me to obsess
Until we exit this fine mess
Let us escape into a place
A Magical sexy evil space
What can I do for you Ruth Ann
With your permission a visit plan
Visit a place without despair
Where we don’t breath this poisoned air
Tadzio – you can take his place
Till a cure wins this human race
I will observe you from my chair
Gaze at your silky jet black hair
What can I do for you Ruth Ann
Please help this frightened lonely man
Please let no harm come your and yours
Creepy, yes, welcome to indoors

Flesh without bone couldn’t walk
Teeth without tongue couldn’t talk
Girl without boy couldn’t birth
Body without mind isn’t worth…much
The more I advance You retreat
The more you retreat The more I need
The more that I reach The less I feel
There’s less dazzle there when it’s real love
Here are the rules of Enchantment
All based on lies
I just want you to believe in me
Here are the rules of advancement
All in disguise
I just want you to believe in me
Believe in me….again
Believe In Me….my Friend
Lungs without Breath Couldn’t Breathe
Life without Death wouldn’t mean much
Friend Without Friend Couldn’t Love
With no Below No Above Love

God is dead—Love is alive—Love is real
God is contrived
We may always disagree
Might never see things eye to eye
Hatred might come in-between
It doesn't mean that love has died
We might never come together
I hope you gave it your best try
We might always hate each other
It doesn't mean that love has died
We might hate our whole lives through
We might none of us survive
Never see what love can do
It doesn't mean that love has died
Love is here like it or not
Access it or hate the lot
It doesn’t make you love it so
It waits until you let it go
Don't give up on love today
Do what love says in your time
Not what’s leading you astray
Trust your heart and you’ll be fine
Listen to your heart today
Do what it has got in mind
Not what ‘s leading you astray
Forgive yourself and please be kind
God is dead—Love is alive—Love is real
God is contrived

Midnight.
I better be careful.
You can’t write a song about god without getting it wrong
It’s time to say goodbye.
To my obsession.
But may I remain in the light of your love.
You’re fading.
Now what do I live for?
Lonely again.
In my room.
Far away
But may I remain in the light of today.
I thank you.
You were an angel.
You were disguised as a demon.
My love
But may I remain in the light of your love

I Hate Myself More Than I Love You
I’ll Make You Pay For Ever Loving Me
I Won’t Like You Until you Hate Me
I’ll Make You Never Want To Date Me (again)
Long Ago When You Hated Me
I Thought You Were A Genius
Now That You Are Liking Me
I Think You Are Beneath The Rest
You Are:
Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid
You Never Let Me Know Who You Were
I Was Left Stuck Inside a Mirror
Now I’m Alone With My Illusion
Now I’m Alone With My Confusion
Long Ago You Hated Me
I Thought You Were A Genius
Now That You Are Liking Me
I Think You Are Beneath The Rest
You Are:
Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid

When everybody dies
The next day the sun will rise
The plants and birds will grow
The miracle of life will go on
The sun will feed the rain
The plants will grow again
The air will freshen up
Volcanos will erupt with earth’s love
The trees will breathe again
The cats and dogs will friend
The animals still alive
Will kill each other in order to survive
When everything is dead
There’s nothing but your head
And consciousness will rest
And Nature will have known what is best

Don't ever let a girl know you like her
She'll dump you and fall for some biker
Who'll beat her and treat her like dogshit
Attraction - It don't know from logic
Be silent and act all above her
She'll love it if you make her suffer
So don't you ever say that you love her
She will love you so much more, now
If loving you is such a chore, now
She just wants what she can't get so
Keep her at an arm's distance

Alibi
Want to die
Get me one please
Life is tough
I’ve had enough
I want to leave
God above
With no love
I can’t believe
Life is hell
Wishing well
It’s just a tease
Someone kill me
How easy could it be?
Someone do it
Cause I just can’t bring myself to it
Life is pain
With no gain
What is the point?
Crazy town
Gets me down
I hate this joint
Someone kill me
How easy could it be?
Someone do it
Cause I just can’t bring myself to it
I’m afraid
Can’t get laid
Losing my mind
Isolate
Filled with hate
Kill me this time

I think about you often and I worry
There's lots of time to grow up so don't hurry
I want to keep you safe away from danger
But you will make your own way with these strangers
Please know that I love you
And will always
Be there
Even when you hate me
My love won't change I’ll still care
Please don't hurt yourself or do what they say
I hate to think you're out there losing your way
I love you and I want to see you happy
I love you let your conscience be your mappy
Love yourself while I can't be there
With you hold you tight
Love yourself and a please be true
And know love’s always right
Love is always right
I want to hold you in my arms forever
Keep you warm and safe and leave you never
But you must make your own way and be clever
In a world that hurts and keeps you hurt forever
