There Are No

.
Conspiracies
Really
None
Only theories
That are running
At maximum
Inside many
A cranium
For plenty who
Want too many
To hear
Tis much easier
To live in fear
Than to look around
And get in touch
With one’s own ground
How do you start
Clear your mind then
Listen to your heart
Turn off the news
That will only
Give you the blues
If not deceit
Then contradiction
Needs to be treated
Like an addiction
A way to stop
The mind boff
Is to simply
Shut
The TV off
.
“Learn To Be Still”
“It’s just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You’d give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still
We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don’t know how to be alone
So we wander ’round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still
Now the flowers in your garden
They don’t smell so sweet
Maybe you’ve forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet
[Solo]
There are so many contridictions
In all these messages we send
(We keep asking)
How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin’
It’s waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still
You just keep on runnin’
Keep on runnin'”
