All Time Low
---------------------

Can I ever rest
Do I have to pay
Attention

To the trivialities
And the background
Noise

It's a fairly good
Response to those
Whose questions
Mark and time
Erodes

We've reached
A bit too slow
Tomorrow
Always knows
We've been involved
In an all time low

With a worn outgrowing
Saddle to the bone
We been embraced
In an all time low

Sailing Free
-------------------

v.1
I got mine today
I missed it yesterday
Wailed around all
All over town
And now they’re after

Me you see
I get it all for free
I waited awhile
Until all of it
Unfluraled
And now they’re after

c.1
Trains, the ice cream man & matches
Workers on roofs & beer trucks
All making distractions
Planes, helicopters & sirens
A SWAT Team truck & snipers
All making their way
Towards me

v.2
I got no way
Get over it today
Tried all of my wills
Indefinite spills
And nothing
Can save me

And then I pray
I pray for it all day
And waited until
Spilled their soul
Intent is me

END:
Little ol’ me
But I’m sailing free
But I’m sailing free

Visually Visualize

I visually visualize myself
As the person that
I want to be

I look at you and I see
Perfection

Can’t get into
Can’t get into
Can’t get into
Can’t get into

BRIDGE:

I visually visualized myself
As none other
Than what I am

As as anything other than
What I am
What I am

Don’t need your scales
To tell me
My worth

Closing Lifetimes
-----------------------------

Closing Lifetimes
Closing many lifetimes these days

Its a constant struggle
Bringing more and more in
Deflate the bragging
And letting others win

Closing Lifetimes
Closing many lifetimes these days

A corrupt battle
In between good and believable
Taking one's own thunder
And taking on the marvel

The Mystery Has Been Solved
------------------------------------------------

Having whispers
Should've never've
Been indeed

Social errors
Offering for
The deed

What outcome can we find today
The haste to find it feather-weight
An outstanding choice of prey
Some will take it all the way

Comply with me
Comply with me

Of all the people
Should’ve never've
Been a writer

Laying down novelties
And all of those
Sinful gestures

Awful sleepers
Seem to make
A better breed

The purest
Intentions
Seem to make
A better read

What outcome can we find today
The haste to find it feather-weight
An outstanding choice of prey
Some will take it all the way

Comply with me
Comply with me

Of all the people
Should’ve never've
Been a writer

Laying down novelties
And all of those
Sinful gestures

CODA:
Through all those years
Of training who thought
You will remaining
Hopeful characterizations
Become full-fledged

Standing behind
All your flags, masks
Knives & irons
Truthful characterizations
Become full-fledged

All it takes is days
Out of lives to capture
The truth from lies
The Mystery Has Been Solved

This Mystery Has Been Solved
This Mystery Has Been Solved
The Mystery Has Been Solved
This Mystery Has Been Solved
The Mystery Has Been Solved

Rain
-------

Sit dreaming in my sun bed
And look up through my sun roof
Meandering whether you see
One day it's raining on me
Rain on the screen

I'm waiting for that beautiful beam
I'm wishing for that beautiful dream

The next and finalizing clue
Before and mentioned quite a few
An ailing branch and soothing rain
Betwixt the fall that never came

I corrugate the ceiling
And never see the sunlight
This mean enduring weather you see
All day its responding to me
Please please talk talk to me

I'm waiting for that beautiful beam
I'm wishing for that beautiful dream

The next and finalizing clue
Before and mentioned quite a few
An ailing branch and soothing rain
Betwixt the fall that never came

When the rain comes
Down on me
Down over me
Down all over me

52Notes: Wrote the music a few days ago, been writing the lyrics & working on the rythmn/picking style a bit over the last 2 days. Purposely NOT recording it until today which isn't common for me. Surprised I didn't forget anything ESP. The Bridge. Enjoy...flo- Capo: 7th fret

2

52Notes: This one of my more progressive rock meets grunge rock tunes. While I haven't writen too many (less than 10) over the years, I really like this concept and would like to explore the style in more depth one day. This track uses one of my classic D.I.Y. recording tactics of playing along with a playback and recording it w/ my Sony cassette to get ONE more vocal and ONE more guitar track on it, which I started back in the 80s. NOTE: you can also hear our local L&N train passing by and adding some heavy dynamics to this track early in the mix. I love unexpected sounds such as that which add so much to the recordings!!!

52Notes: In 1998, I was at the "Days of the New" studio off of Payne and Lexington Avenues in Louisville Kentucky one evening to interview Travis Meeks for MTV Online as well as to help write their newsletter and an abrupt jam-session happened between me and several of the hangers-on. Here is what we came up with on one of my original songs, "Sailing Free".

5

52Notes: This is a rather good melody Y'all. I I can say it's one of my favorites, eriously can't believe how I could wrote such a passionate tune listening back today. Where did this melody come from and why can't I write more songs like this? ALAS, here is a great song that I wrote back in the mid 90s and don't have the faintest clue where it came from. Enjoy...flo-

52Notes: Backing barks by: Laney McGill Lane, our middle child/dog (Pekingese)...she was such a drama queen!!!
