Rule Of Flaw (from 2021 album Cientinal)

A tribute to being human- generally a social animal- and the joy and boost we get with the periodic encounter with someone new, formerly a stranger, that we "click" or connect with by happenstance and how it rejuvenates us and restores a level of faith in humanity.

Venting my anger at my older children who were fine and with whom I had a decent relationship through their young years and when I was helping them and supporting them in their teens and early adulthood (college and weddings), but then/now disassociate in the current political landscape because they can't respect my political choices... though I must respect theirs.

Shove It (from 2021 album Oddiossey)

A narcissistic anthem regaling my corporate exploits and ladder climbing at the pinnacle of my non-music career...

I Came And Conquered(from  the 2022 album Subliminate)

When you're maxed out and need a break...

The Runaway
------------------
When it's seeming like nothing's going right
And you're feeling so tense and so uptight
If you only toss and turn at night
Then it's time that you should find respite

Take a break and come with me
To a place that's wild and free
Leave your worries far behind
Find some peace of mind
Drop it all and come away
All you've got to do is say
"It's time to play The Runaway"

If you're sensing that life is just unfair
Always nervous and pulling at your hair
Then it's time to drop the whole affair
Take my hand and I will take you there

The Runaway (from forthcoming 2022 album Passive Persistence)

Things are going to shit...

Anarchy Reigns
----------------------

Common sense has left the room
Empty smiles can't hide
The gloom and the doom

Anger simmers, evil waits
Watching us collapse
Under our own weight

What a hopeless bunch

So anarchy reigns
As despair chills my veins
Speeding faster towards the wall

Never learn from our past
Good intentions start
But can't seem to last

Selfishness soon rules the day
Greed and power stomps
What stands in their way

What a hopeless bunch

So anarchy reigns
As the story ends the same
Speeding faster towards the wall

Anarchy Reigns (from forthcoming 2022 album Passive Persistence)
