A world apart
I see you in my dreams at night
still there beside me
and from the start
the sweet sound drifted through my mind
please come back to me

You were my star
the places that we went became so dark
why did you have to go?

So if you come back to me
I will never let you go again
because it's so plain to see
that you and I were meant to be

A world apart

A World Apart

I saw a couple arguing and was immediately transported back in time. Put down the gloves and make some loves.

Make Love, Not War

Trapped inside
Nowhere to run, nothing to cling to
We started a fire
so we could escape this human petting zoo

Blasting off, here we go
Shot straight through this hole in our skulls
We're just aliens far from home
Will they take us back, or are we forever unknown?

Leave your troubled mind, why stop at the sky?
Meet your creator before you die
Swim through the cosmos, incredible!!!

Blasting off, here we go
Shot straight through this hole in our skulls
We're just aliens far from home
Will they take us back, or are we forever unknown,
out of control, vacuum sealed souls just paying our toll?

Close your eyes now, ego stripped down
There's more than we see, if we could just be

How peculiar, so familiar!

We're just aliens far from home
Will they take us back, or are we forever?

Did My Time

Featuring Zac Day singing with me on lead vocals, Gabe Silva on drums, Raphael Torres on lead guitar, Molly Roth on piano, and Arty Fresha singing backup vocals - I wrote this song back in 2007 or 2008 and recorded it for an unreleased RHFM album in 2013. 

Lyrics:

Turmoil causes us to choke
some say we're only minutes away
before we get lost in the smoke
a hero exists here today
a bright warning flash in the sky is not the only way to call
some walk, some run, some fly, and some can only crawl

For every heart that beats inside each a savior awaits
and every second we stall another moment escapes us all
you're waiting for someone to save us?
that person is you
we're in this together now change up your point of view

When everything seems to go wrong
don't get lost in a wave of inaction
your reaction should not be to pause
So when they claim your stock has dropped
you can say that it's not your reflection 
this election should not be your loss

In presence of light the darkness will fade
a stream from your mind
a job for the brave
to see into life and cross into great
just open your eyes and drop the complaints

Zorro

Wrote this one in the beginning of 2012. It was a therapy song for myself.

Love is a Dream

We’re getting started won’t you take your places?
It’s time to gather 'round these pretty faces.
Down in the garden where your youth was wasted, who could know?
 
Is there a problem with the room we gave you?
We know it’s small but it’s got charm and great views.
Boot up your Windows®, see the world through glowing blues.

Can’t you see that this life we have designed for you is nearly free?
Find Utopia for a tiny little hidden fee.
For a world that’s filled with hitchhikers and vanity, the admission price is just your sanity.

You can have it all!
In an instant this will condense your friends down into your palm.
In a word or two read about what they do, no interaction involved.
I tell you - what an age we live in where you don’t have to leave your home,
just pick up your phone, Love is just a swipe away.

Can’t you see that this life we have designed for you is nearly free?
Fund Utopia for a tiny little hidden fee.
For a world that’s filled with hitchhikers and vanity, the admission price is just your sanity, privacy, identity.

You can never leave.

Hitchhiking

Could it be you
Speaking to me through my mind
Telling me that it’s time to roll
Cause they’re all dipped in gold
Would it be true
and fair to say this path is right
Stumbled hard but still I fight
The way
is through the obstacles I face

Wake up now it’s morning
Your life begins out of bed
In no time flat you’ll be soaring
Don’t let it go to your head
Take a deep breath now go exploring
It’s a jungle there outside
But you gotta get up
No more snoring
You can rest when you’re dead

Rest when you’re dead

Can your legacy
live up to these
tremendous dreams that you keep inside
locked away from everybody?

Not if you don’t

Wake up now it’s the morning
Your life begins out of bed
In no time now you’ll be soaring
Don’t let it go to your head
Take a deep breath now go exploring
it’s a jungle there outside
But you gotta get up
No more snoring

Get your ass outta bed!!!
Get your ass outta bed!!!
You can rest when you’re dead!!!
So get your ass outta bed!!!

Morning Breath

Paradise

We got lost in a paradise
where the deepest blues bring
the reddest eyes 
if the dogs wouldn’t bite
we could get along
but the hunger is so real
and the instincts are too strong

so we tear it down
and hope when we rebuild it
we will find
a place that’s not as cruel and so unkind
well that’s up to us all

we all lost in
a game of dice
threw it on the table
now we stare at
sssnake eyes
“when in Rome” is
what they say
it seems our home will be
the next to break
what a shame

that we tear it down
and hope when we rebuild
we will find
a place that’s not as cruel and so unkind
a world we can be proud of all the time

it starts from within

Paradise (feat. Molly Roth and Sarah Leiper)

Waiting for
a chance to show you
there's so much more
than what you know about this place
we'll float through space
past the moon

The chemicals
inside you dance to
star-shine grooves
These vibes you're givin' off
yes I approve
the way you move is so true
so smooth

Tryin' to be something you're not
is a surefire way to pain
beneath the surface
you'll find your purpose
this life is a game
is a game
is a game

Well it's a sign of the times that we're livin' in
feelin' caged and insane
whether you like it or not
the rhythm's makin' it hot
and hard to refrain

So your bank account is gettin' kinda low
the ones in charge are puttin' on a show
to distract you from the bottom line
while livin' large on stolen dimes
they're callin' for a fight!!!

Well it's a sign of the times that we're livin' in
feelin' caged and insane
whether you like it or not
the rhythm's makin' it hot
and hard to refrain

The days are passin' us by while we're stayin' in
feelin' caged and restrained
but you're amazing inside
and there's no reason to hide
it's time you're unchained

Climbing up to the sky
leaving all your fears behind
pulling up into the light

Distractions
