Geniuscity

 

Step inside my office

The shack of Mr. Walter Mitty

 

Focus on the “big picture”

The essence and the nitty-gritty

 

You’ve achieved it, so come and leave, these Adam and Eve’s behind!

Be so kind, free your mind, meet your kind, if you’re so inclined

 

So come on kitty, come on kitty, come on kitty, come on kitty,

This is Geniuscity

Roam on kitty, roam on kitty, roam on kitty, roam on kitty,

Enjoy Geniuscity

 

You see Cyrus the Great, Muhammad Ali, As the Kings of the minds and hearts,

And the other shining stars shine on, you can revel in their arts!

 

Floyd, Stravinsky, Vincent, Pablo,

Lennon, and Kate, and Byron, Hugo

Woody, and Welles, and Chaplin, Groucho,

 

Lorca, Avicenna, Noam, Leonardo,

Currie and Ada, Zhenyi and Foucault

Fred, Bojangles, Berry, Amadeus

 

Dostoevsky, Gandhi, Einstein, Franklin,

Confucius, Pascal, Homer, Darwin,

and of course – Bell!

(Say you’ll stay…)

 

So come on kitty, come on kitty, come on kitty, come on kitty,

This is Geniuscity

Roam on kitty, roam on kitty, roam on kitty, roam on kitty,

Enjoy GGeniuscity

 

Enlightened Dimension

 

I feel so visibly morbid
I don’t know why I feel numb
I’m dazed and confused
These choices laid bare before me
They’re all made for me
Am I just being used?

 

But this flame, still burns inside me,
Are your here to guide me?
My fear overthrown
Hear my soul call, and help me stand tall
I am never alone, when w are alone

 

Soul train, tell me should I get on now
Tell me should I get off now, or should I change track?
Soul train, I need a whole new enlightened dimension, I don’t wanna go back!


Decipher, the eternal mystery
To that enigma, can YOU find a key?
We’re talking, behind a veil now
But if this veil is lifted, there’s no you or me

 

Soul train, I am sure of my path now
To enlightened dimension,
And my reasons to be
Soul train, my fears and frustrations
Are a thing of the past now
See my eyes can see!

 

Soul train, no need to get on now
no need to get off now, found my beacon of life
Soul train, I’ve found a whole new enlightened dimension,
And what’s the meaning of life?!

 

 

Illusion’s Architects

 

Illusion’s Architects, created this, they weave the web, define the way you see
Image consultants, at inner beauty’s sacrifice, design the way you seem


Your head is down, your heart is gone, there’s not much left of you,
This disingenuous character, surrounded by the darkness, left alone without a clue

 

When you should be shining,
You should be singing,
Be intoxicated of being you,
But time and space have got you by the throat,
This aimless swim drifting on a float,
You turned to tear your morning dew

 

Illusion’s Architects, created this, they weave the web, define the way you see
Image consultants, have inner beauty sacrificed, design the way you seem

I’m ME, no matter what you see, no matter how I seem, I’ll always be ME

I’m ME, no matter what you see, no matter how I seem, I’ll always be ME

I’m ME, no matter what you see, no matter how I seem, I’ll always be ME

 

 

 

Divine As Hell

 WELL,… 

This here story I’m about to unfold,

Will fill the hole in your soul like Rock ‘n’ Roll, they’re Cy ‘n’ I, Cy ‘n’ I

I’s on a mission divine as hell, the derailed time’s to be un-travelled by Cy n I, Cy n I

You gotta get in Cy, to get out! You gotta get in I, to get out!

 

There’ll be some days at the races, some days at the circus, some nights at the Opera, for Cy n I, 

There’ll be those old lost souls barely alive, and random fools who only survive, in que será, será, será,

You gotta get in Cy, to get out! You gotta get in I, to get out!

 

In their light we learn to love, we see them dance inside our heart

And their flame will light the path, and that sight becomes this art

We’ll reach there, we’ll be there, We’re never apart!

Cy n I, Cy n I, where is Valhalla?

 

We gotta get in before we get out

We gotta get ourselves out of this recursive self-denial!

Hearts with light of love shine well, in their hopes and prayers they will dwell, for Cy ‘n’ I

 

Is Cy I, or I is Cy? Will we break on through to a brand new time, with Cy n I? Tossing and turning, while our beds are burning,

Gotta change the time and there’ll be no returning, for Cy n I

 

In their light we learn to love, we see them dance inside our heart

And their flame will light the path, and that sight becomes this art

We’ll reach there, we’ll be there, We’re never apart!

 

You gotta get in Cy, to get out! You gotta get in I, to get out!

 

 

 

One-I’ed King

If you feel shallow (Wake up!)

The mojo is low (Heat up!)

With or without dough (What’s wrong?)

Let “I” let you know

 

You get solitude, as long as, it’s so that, you’re never alone!

You get latitude, as long as, it’s so that, you never go home!

They wise up your mind, to see what’s designed

You never can win, us and them are not two of a kind

It’s cold out, can’t hold out, defeat or defy,

But you One-I’ed  Kings can be ringing the bells of the blind!

 

Do you heed this crowd? Do you need this crowd? 

Do you lead this crowd when they’re not there, or not there for you?

Individual, you’re stereotyped!

Be one of a kind, or it’s end of affair for you! (Who?!)

 

You get solitude, as long as, it’s so that, you’re never alone!

You get latitude, as long as, its so that, you never go home!


Shot At Life

 

I get up, and smile,

Take a deep breath, feel the future is mine
And why not? I am young
And my folks say, I am the one who is, the next in the line


It’s time, to shape up,
To find my way in life to rise and to shine
It’s my life, I’m worth it
And I deserve the future, that that can be mine, as I define, …but

 

So many lands in fires are burning
Pointless wars with no returning
Clean skies  and the forests are dying
Can’t do a thing when they keep denying
How can you ask to follow your footsteps?
Coz when you move your mouth you’re lying!

 

You make no sense,
So stop this nonsense,
Oh, S.O.S!
I’m suffocated,

And I can’t breathe anymore
And I don’t understand this
I can-NOT stand this!


Old souls, roll the dice,
Steal my future only I pay the price
Practice, what you preach
I need a shot at life, without your help, yes that would be nice! …coz

 

So many lands in fires are burning
Pointless wars with no returning
Clean skies  and the forests are dying
Can’t do a thing when they keep denying
How can you ask to follow your footsteps?
Coz you move your mouth you’re lying!

I’m surrounded,
Just Dumbfounded,
Oh, S.O.S!
I’m being strangled!

And I can’t breathe anymore
And I don’t understand this
I can-NOT stand this!
