LYRICS
Would your rather die
Or would you rather fly
Is it silly askin’ why?

’cause I heard when you die you fly
A miracle… something special
Flight of a newborn angel

Would you rather die
To reach the promised land in the sky?
’cause I heard heaven’s on Earth this birth

Would you rather die or rather fly
I’ve heard your can do both
(Why risk the wrath)
But ya know what… you might find out the hard way
’cause I heard say
Heaven’s on this Earth
Heaven’s of this birth

Ya know? Why not come out of the shadow?

LYRICS
Aren’t happy with what you’ve got
Ohhh… why not?
Enough of the hysteric
It’s making us sick
Enough being hysterical
Making us all ill

Things didn’t turn out like you planned
Now revenge you demand
Enough of the hysteric
It’s making us sick
Enough being hysterical
Making us all ill

You’re gonna get us all hysterical
Hysteric… all

LYRICS
Are you afraid of the dark?
Ignite a brain spark

Why be afraid of what you don’t know
Why not let to grow

The point you may miss
Ignorance ain’t bliss

Why be afraid of what you don’t know
Give it a chance to grow

Harbor hatred for your foe?
Why not let them go

Why be afraid of what you don’t know
Give love a chance to glow

LYRICS
When you’re sick and tired… you can’t take anymore
When the thick and thin… you just can’t endure
Look above for some love

(Genesis 2:1)
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.
Raise your voice and praise the choice to instill your freewill
Though, not in boasts… rather joy for the holy ghost

(Luke 10:30)
Persecuted and wronged for doing what’s right
Dread being stripped naked, beaten, and left half dead
Find insight in the light

(Hebrews 6:4)
Once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift — uplift
Partake of the Holy Spirit and taste the powers of the age to come
Riches beyond your wildest dreams and then some

(Jude 1:21)
Keep yourselves in the love as you wait for the mercy
The light will shine… shine o’ so fine… you shall see
It’ll work out fine… be heavenly

(Daniel 6:27)
Delivered and rescued I see signs and wonders in heaven and on earth
Under threat of alarms and sirens, delivered Daniel from the power of the lions
Now is the hour of rebirth

LYRICS
Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When it’s snowing in Spring
And there’s no birdies to sing
(All the while the solar eclipse supermoon equinox rocks)

Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When the East Coast is freezing
And the West Coast is frying
(Expressing some sort-a bi-polar polar express)

Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When California is drying
As the Texans weather flooding
(SXSW prepares for the test)

Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When the sun is shinning
While cloudless rain ‘s a fallin’
(Enough cosmic flow to bring on a rainbow)

ABOUT THE SONG

A song motivated by severe weather events including a snow storm on the first day of spring and “Emergency crews at SXSW ready to move in case of flooding.”

LYRICS
There’s probably no need to panic
Certainly someone’s gonna catch it?

They’ll switch the panic switch
Flip the switch to which?
I offer off… or?
All else is nor. (‘fur sure)

It’s probably gonna work out alright
Humans couldn’t really be the blight?

Everyone says they’re apt to adapt
Where is that secret kept at?

LYRICS
This band I’m in starts playing a different tune
Gonna meet you on the darkside o’ the supermoon

Supermoon equinox total eclipse of the sun
An astronomical threesome… threesum

Our solar power will be going off grid
Joking? Noooo… I don’t kid

Gotta love the natural alignment event
Inspiration… from the heavens sent

Drop your knickers a lil’ quicker! Let it bloom!
Gonna meet you on the lightside o’ the supermoon

Death Defying Acts Part 2.mp3

LYRICS
Ozone in the air we’re breathing
It’s death defying!
Alone in perceiving
These acts are death defying?

More dangerous for us
Than tightrope walking
Or chainsaw juggling

The pathogens we are drinking
It’s death defying!
Alone in perceiving
These acts are death defying?

More dangerous for us
Than sword swallowing
Or cliff diving

The temperature we’re increasing
….
More dangerous for us
Than mine sweeping
Or racecar driving

The glaciers we’re melting
….
More dangerous for us
Than base jumping
Or atomic bombing

More dangerous for us?
There’s nothing more dangerous than us

LYRICS
If I am unresponsive for more than a year,
I fear… The End wont’ be near

Now, that I know what I know
Would you mind hitting replay, again?
Must’a been the first few times through
I didn’t know what I thought I knew… then

I believe I’ve lived before
I believe I might live some more
Take me in the woods and shoot me ‘tween the eyes
And, set my soul free for me

Don’t put me in a home
Or make me live alone
Just shoot me ‘tween the eyes

Betwixt between

Hopin’ my soul will live again,
So please next o’ kin
Once you realize
Shoot me ‘tween the eyes

ps. While I’m still alive and you realize
I wish to be set free
Please allow me
To set your mind at ease
Please, please put me out of my misery
