Step into this world headfirst
A doc and a nurse expecting the worst
Tangled in umbilical as I burst through
To the other side
Sensing my father's pride, I coulda died
While mother sighs and cries, "Thank god he's alive"
And she did it with complete sensation
No pain meds to the vein
To tame intense vibration
No cigarette smoke or alcoholic libation
The way she went about her baby-makin' was amazin'
So I grew and I grew
Knew I could do anything I wanted
My dad and his 6-string steadily haunted my memory
Singin' and strummin' the J.T. will forever be
Cleverly inked into the grain of my deepest mental crate
Sink into the brain and ingrain due to the deepest mental state
Hypnagogic
Sesame Street logic
No matter what color, you're my brother
Yeah, you got it
And that Houses of the Holy, sure we rocked it
Those filthy Bonham beats created a dirty conscience

This is who I am
Ocean waves and sand
Darkness filled with light
Grounded, taking flight

Growin' up in church Presbyterian
Showin' up in search
Less fear seeing my peers
Years were spent here singin'
But the meanin' didn't matter
The melodies and harmonies would shatter my past pain
Like a glass pane
Stained from all the tension at home
My parents slept in separate rooms
A pillow over my dome
So I could drown out the sound of verbal violence with silence
My brother and I, we preserved the alliance
And even though I treated him like bullies treated me
Fully frequently, everyday in school
He had the heart to forgive
I can't forget the golden rule
In middle school, I was a shy guy to some
But if you truly knew me, you knew I hit the drum
It's where I come from
My brother followed suit
The rhythm embedded deep in our souls at the root
Playin' in drumlines from Indiana to Denton
Enrichin' our minds, livin' our dreams
Representin'

This is who I am
Ocean waves and sand
Darkness filled with light
Grounded, taking flight

Check the resume
Got a degree from the U. of N.T.
But dropped out of grad school
Had to take incompletes
8 hours a day of play created cysts in my wrists
Previously, I thought ability was limitless
The universe works in mysterious ways
I couldn't drum for a year
Cue the alcoholic haze
But this would prove to be just a phase
I got my hands back and reinstated the craze
My connection to music, intuitive
I did not choose it
It chose me
Through flows of prose, it shows
Listening closely
Mostly pros, but constantly conscious
Environment is highly influential at best
That's why I left TX and headed northwest
Continue to invest in time to unwind
In the moonlight and sunshine, we get lost to find
Inspiration is all around
So grateful that I found it
Infinitely heed the call resounding deeply
So astounded

This is who I am
Ocean waves and sand
Darkness filled with light
Grounded, taking flight

Woke on the wrong side of a landslide
No joke it's a long ride
Everyone tried so don't sing along
I really can't take this
Just my luck
Not the greatest day
Should I give up?
Could I live up to the expectation?
Way out of place
Out of patience

But we should probably be thinkin' 'bout our breathin'

Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in and breathe out
In and out
Breathe

Great, gonna be late
Never have time to wait
Talk about hate
Now we gotta get this straight
Is it all fate?
Is it half empty?
Just my luck
Come again some other day
Would you give up?
Would you live up to the expectation?
Way out of place
Out of patience
Racin' around with the sound of a negative frame of mind
Takin' the blame, fine
Here we go again
Lookin' like there's no end to the flow
When do we know?
When do we grow out of this phase?
Out of control
It's just my luck
Not the greatest day
Should I give up?
Could I live up to the expectation?
Way out of place
Out of patience

But we should probably be thinkin' 'bout our breathin'

Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in and breathe out
In and out

Breathe

To lead or to follow
Believe or to swallow my pride and abide
To achieve or to leave behind a dream that I never tried
Not about success or being the best
The inner chest tempo is hard-pressed to let go
Let 'em know
Open the heart
Let the passion kick-start your art
Ready, set, go

Givin' it all ya got, and why not?
If it feels right, don't stop
Until you feel the need to change the pace
No time to waste
Embrace this space because it's all we have
And you laugh
Sure, you heard that before
Keep doin' the math and carvin' your path
Soon, the phrase begins to mean much more

Divine intervention
No words that I mention can describe the sight we see
It's alright with me
Fully captivating our attention
Mesmerized, the shine tends to energize
And sends chills to the spine
Still everything's fine
Still everything's fine

Eyes to the sky, eyes to the sky
Eyes to the sky, eyes to the sky
Eyes to the sky, eyes to the sky
Eyes to the sky eyes to the sky

To lead or to follow
Believe or to swallow my pride and abide
To achieve or to leave behind a dream that I never tried

When opportunity knocks
A break from the paradox
Positivity drops into everything we do

We remain see-through
Need to sing? Me too
Let it ring, free you, and people will believe (true)

Then opportunity knocks
A break from the paradox
Positivity drops into everything we do

Never will they tame you
Sever from the same view
Unglue, experience the new but yeah, still the same you

Then opportunity knocks
A break from the paradox
Positivity drops into everything we do

Feelin' down? Get up
Reverse the frown, head up
What comes around ends up infecting your friends' tendencies

The remedy, let it be completely
and believe that everything we see is temporary
Even the consistent crashing of the infinite ocean

Live in this moment
Cherish it, knowin' that one day it's goin'
Until then, keep growin' and crushin' your bucket list
Better yet, be spontaneous
Three eyes wide and alive inside
Feelin the high, we on mainly bliss
You get the gist
Put up the closed hand
Ego as arch nemesis
Cancerous to your hourglass
Burnin' up the most sand
I stay present, still learnin' from that ghostland

Then opportunity knocks
A break from the paradox
Positivity drops into everything we do

Please see it for what it is
Relax, why so serious?
Positivity gets into everything we do

Keep lookin' for all the great within
That's the mind state
Positivity motivates everything we do

And then opportunity knocks
A break from the paradox
Positivity drops into everything we do

Feelin down? Get up
Reverse the frown, head up
What comes around ends up infecting your friends' tendencies

The remedy, let it be completely
and believe that everything we see is temporary
Even the consistent crashing of the infinite ocean

Kill 'em with kindness
You feelin' it? Might as well tell the whole Earth
Treat your first like it's righteous
All plus and no minus
Although the slightest chance exists that we can't, we insist
And with our last breath, light this
You get the gist
Put up the closed hand
Ego as arch nemesis
Cancerous to your hourglass
Burnin' up the most sand
I stay present, still learnin' from that ghostland

Then opportunity knocks
A break from the paradox
Positivity drops into everything we do

Please see it for what it is
Relax, why so serious?
Positivity gets into everything we do

Keep lookin' for all the great within
That's the mind state
Positivity motivates everything we do

And then opportunity knocks
A break from the paradox
Positivity drops into everything we do

I'm feelin' so fine
The clouds in the sky slowly dissipate
I'm feelin' the shine
So proud I'm alive (slowly elevate)
I'm feelin' so fine
The clouds in the sky slowly dissipate
I'm feelin' the shine
So proud I'm alive (slowly elevate)
Soakin' it up, vitamin D might have been missin' in this moment
No, look at these sky blues

It's easin' my mind
The sun in the sky, so much gratitude
It's easy to find the time to be kind
That's the attitude
It's easin' my mind
The sun in the sky, so much gratitude
It's easy to find the time to be kind
That's the attitude
Gotta be grateful
Yes, nobody be hateful in this moment
No, look at these sky blues

Whoever you are
Whatever it takes, please remember that it's never too far
It's never too late
Please remember that
Whoever you are
Whatever it takes, please remember that it's never too far
It's never too late
Please remember that
Rainin' or shinin', maintainin' a design that's so golden
Yeah, feelin' these sky blues

This feeling we share
It's always inside, even though the sunny sky is so rare
You know it's alive somewhere deep inside
This feeling we share
It's always inside, even though the sunny sky is so rare
You know it's alive somewhere deep inside
Within and without doubt, positively shinin' so golden
Yeah, feelin' these sky blues

Confidence, love, and affection reign supreme
And now I'm convinced of the connection
Lay the demons to rest and return to the question
Can we invest infinitely in always placing our best into you and me?
And all those in between
Without word, the action's heard
A scream of silence
A similar dream of defiance
The same team, most beautiful compliance

Most unusual alignments
Planetary grand sextile
Confinement inside of the moment
Solidarity shinin', alive and I'm open
All the clarity changes inconceivable notions
Only constant is change, as in continuous motion

And you wish I was jokin'
Steadily growin', no need to be stokin' the flame
From within, it sustains
So much for tryin' to tame
Deep within, it remains the most reliable source
Of course I endorse and use this force
With every morsel of my torso (undeniable)
And it shows, as the universe glows
Blues, greens, and golds
Tip top to toes
Frozen, as if the moment was chosen
Be the love you wish to receive
That's the slogan

Be the love you wish to receive

Effortlessly
You think I'm preachin' to you?
I'm really preachin' to me
The never-ending abyss of darkness we see
Is overflowing with bliss
So conscious and free (yours truly)

And you wish I was jokin'
Steadily growin', no need to be stokin' the flame
From within, it sustains
So much for tryin' to tame
Deep within, it remains the most reliable source
Of course I endorse and use this force
With every morsel of my torso (undeniable)
And it shows, as the universe glows
Blues, greens, and golds
Tip top to toes
Frozen, as if the moment was chosen
Be the love you wish to receive
That's the slogan
