Years are Short Days are Long
Words By: Rick Denzien, Debra Lee, Tobie Hoffman, Melissa Baehr
Music By: Rick Denzien
We packed two bags she’s out on her own
In college now my girl is grown
School photographs art work on the wall
The years are short - the days are long
loud silent noise leaking from her room
No talk with boys no current tunes
Fighting back tears as I close the door
The years are short - the days are long
Now my memories are my treasure
As the sunlight disappears
And her love lies in the shadows
As she takes her leave from here
Ended the call she's safe in her dorm
Blankets we bought will keep her warm
I'm holding on while letting her go
The years are short - the days are long
A parents voice haunting as a howl
Lessons from home are with her now
The seasons of love keep family strong
The years are short - the days are long
Now my memories are my treasure
As the sunlight disappears
And her love lies in the shadows
As she takes her leave from here
The years are short - the days are long

Hope Until Then
Words By: Rachel Barnes, Rick Denzien, Debra Lee
Music By: Rick Denzien, Rachel Barnes
Countless nights, close my eyes Wrapped up in your arms
Never wanting this moment to end
Countless fights, teary eyed I drive home in the
rain crying cause I’m losing you again But
somewhere in our crazy mixed up
lives I find myself back in your arms every time
Even though we have to say good
bye You know that it’s not over
Hope Until Then
Someday when our paths cross Well I’m
sure that we can try again
Hope Until Then
Countless days, friends will sway us to walk a
way They don’t understand the love we found
Countless ways try to say how I feel about
you could be wrong but I want you around
somewhere in our crazy mixed up
lives I find myself back in your arms every time
Even though we have to say good
bye You know that it’s not over
Hope Until Then
Someday when our paths cross Well I’m
sure that we can try again
Hope Until Then
when I’m not with you I feel like I’ll lose my mind
I’d be a fool to have you crawling back this time
when it’s good and so right why does it have to change?
Some how divine slips by I wish that it could stay
Even though we have to say good
bye You know that it’s not over
Hope Until Then
Even though we have to say good
bye You know that it’s not over
Hope Until Then
Someday when our paths cross Well I’m
sure that we can try again
Hope Until Then
Hope Until Then

Title: Silence of the Sages
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
Intro:
Verse 1:
They got it on the news talking points tight quite right
Twisting up a story in a thousand ways
Locking up the babies on the border line
The latest, brownest threat to world security
Horror live unfolds mega color tvs
Only propaganda streams in black & white
Chorus:
Power rides the back of a tiger – will
Anyone be crying for the survivors?
Kids in cages freedom lost for ages
Power slides off back of the tiger – is
Anyone quenching all of the fires?
Can we break the final stages?
Hook:
The silence of the sages Silence of the sages
Verse 2:
The tiger eats the rider so the story goes
Carving up his body in a hundred ways
Life is full of may be’s on the Horizon
Buying and selling social insecurity The
Boy had a black smart phone killing by cops
Viral Vid a cat tricks got more clip tube shows, oh
Bridge:
We sit in our houses all safe & nice
Hotter hot outside the melting of ice, In
Harvest fields they’re born & die Can we break the final stages?
Ending:
The silence of the sages Silence of the sages :[]x9

Title: Lifestyles of the Loaded (remember Greta Thunberg)
Words Rick Denzien & Nichole Wealand
Music By: Rick Denzien
Before the light of morning, I can hardly see
What’s a young kid doing in this factory
Dust is in my lungs there’s ringing in my ears
Can anybody see me working through these tears?
Lifestyles of the loaded
Bleed(s) the children / planet dry
Lifestyles of the bloated
We |1 working |2 work and die
Darkness brings a warning, chained to the machine
Buzz, crash, burn, bang, starving, breaks are never seen
Lost my friends, my sister, n playing in the sand
My life is making t-shirts iconic / phony corporate brands
Where’s the summer rain?
Wash away this stain
I will always miss you
Will we meet again?
Lifestyles of the loaded
Bleeds hope from my eyes
Lifestyles of the bloated
We work and die We work and die
We work and die We’re working

Words& Music By: Rick Denzien
Blood death and destruct ion all over of the world
Children cry and die, and I know it sounds absurd
And People cry to their god – save us – out of this hell we've created
Oceans turn to bitter green pollution rapes the land
gas cars on the highway makes the air turn vile
And People cry to their god – fearful - cry and cry in desperation
How long can this go on? How long can this go on?
Dancing near the rising sea beach plastic mixed with sand
oil boats poison water flames inside my shower
And People cry to their god – save us – out of this hell we've created
How long can this go on? How long can this go on?
Bridge:
Fukushima quakes my dream I see the dragon’s fire
Yellow, Black, and White and Red the people lost their power
Blood death and destruction Blood death and destruction
Blood death and destruction Blood death and destruction
Blood, Blood, Blood, Blood

Title: Just A Girl I Once Knew
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
Feeling dizzy all the time – I could fall from the edge of this building
Floating free a cloud below – down the way just like when we were children
See the color of her hair and her smile goes everywhere
Just a girl I once knew, Is it ever too late?
All my tries to touch the sky – take to flight step out to the uncertain
Fire ,smoke, lightning thunder sounds - I am the man behind my own curtain
My disguise can fool the eyes – but the heart cannot take the exertion
Explosions off distant rounds – resist a one-way ride to the surgeon
In the middle of right here, the hall that brought me disappears
Just a girl I once knew, Is it ever too late?
And she comes to me in dreams
Speaking many things that I don’t know
She’s a prisoner in my mind, I can see her anytime
Just a girl I once knew, Is it ever too late?
Smell her softness she’s right there and her love goes everywhere
Just a girl I once knew, Is it ever too late?:[] x4

Title: Blinded Eyes
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
I wish we could all see clearly - Things we often miss
Looking at a glance - We have abundant beauty
across the land -but does no good - if a man - can’t see his own hand
Oh we’ve got
blinded eyes – blinded eyes Yeah, we’ve got
blinded eyes – blinded eyes
We gonna kill all life nearly - a betrayal kiss
Ain’t no second chance - wreck it, is it our duty?
Glass on the sand - if I really could - understand - freedom to withstand
Oh we’ve got
blinded eyes – blinded eyes Yeah, we’ve got
blinded eyes – blinded eyes
Love heal blind eyes
Shadows low dim heal our blind eyes Love heal my blind eyes
Yeah, we’ve got
blinded eyes – blinded eyes
Need eye healing now, in theory kindness has no risk
Timing to advance - Blind man sights still can’t shoot me
If I was banned - last place where I stood - a free man - did I join the dammed?
Oh we’ve got blinded eyes – blinded eyes
Yeah, we’ve got blinded eyes – blinded eyes
Love heal our blinded eyes – have you got blinded eyes?
Love heal blind eyes
Shadows clear dim heal our blind eyes Love heal my blind eyes

Title: Cotton Blossom
Words Rick Denzien & Debra Lee
Music By: Rick Denzien
Cotton Blossom Will you stay with me?
We’ve both got dreams to see
I’m a poor man – but rich as I can be
Cotton Blossom I think you hold the key
Down this dusty road – on the edge of town
As the season turns to brown
I’m a sad man but - nothing brings me down
Cotton Blossom - will you stick around?
Chasing through the years of my prime
Holding back the tears when I cry
Going places, I’ve - never been before
And I know there’s so much more
I’m a traveling man, but - what are travels for?
Cotton Blossom - bring me to your door
Racing through the years no stop sign
Kicken back some beers life is fine
ah oh
This claim was raised & reported to the high authority.
The case was tried & aborted, but will I ever be free?
Tracing through the years for my crime
Burning fire is here mountain climb
Cotton Blossom need you here with me
I know with certainty
I’m a blind man – as though my eyes can see
Cotton Blossom - I think you hold the key
Gracing through the years my lifetime
Facing all the fear hear bells chime
Cotton Blossom will you stay with me
Cotton Blossom - I think you hold the key :[] x2

Title: Casual Affairs
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
Alone in the dark – its cold here tense stark
Hear them crying
Raw and bleeding - desperately needing
I think he’s dying
Overnight friends - And morning pretends
We’re not loosing
But just like a game - it always the same
Things we’re choosing
Chorus:
Well I thought it over once or twice
Someday we’re gonna pay a heavy / endless / wasted price
(last chorus) Well I never knew truth so precise
Someday we’re gonna pay a crazy price
For Casual Affairs
Mistakes from the past - live on they out last
Deadly living
Just like a charm – can’t raise the alarm
I keep forgetting
Chorus:
Bridge:
Buried that way - forfeit demanding -
Concealed down here - no one’s left standing
I don’t want you just for a moment
I can give you happiness
Come with me we’ll live forever
I can fill your emptiness
Dark loneliness
Surrounded by walls – rising beyond tall
No use hiding
I may try and repay but never today
I am lying; lying oh I’m lying - lying

Title: Oil & Water
Words Setu Patel & Rick Denzien
Music By: Rick Denzien
You’re always early – usually I’m late
You’re on the move – I’m stuck at the gate
and films from Bollywood aren’t Hollywood
Like my music loud – you turn it mute
like my cheese curls – you organic fruit
You’d move from Canada to Florida
We have opposing points of view
That’s where you’ll find us on the horizon
Stretches forever clear water meets the sand
They say we’re different like Oil & Water like Oil & Water
We are one the same like sky blue kissing the
land [my hand – last chorus only]
Like Oil & Water we’re Oil & Water
I’m like a fish wet – and you don’t swim
You like to plan things I go for whims
Reading on the beach puts you out of reach
I Like EV cars you don’t get psyched
I lay on the couch n you'd like to hike
You like to make the cash I buy this trash
I am the yin and you’re the yang
That’s where you’ll find us.....
You don’t swing out very far but I love you for who you are
And I circle around your every word and you circle me with love - you circle me with love
We have supporting points of view
That’s where you’ll find us.....

Title: Say Good bye
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
He smashed through her window - shows
Pain of looking in and
He lost in her room where - there Nothing but sky
As though she had died his love still a live
Anger bleeding he hates leaving never said goodbye
Still not grieving Not conceding cannot say goodbye
Say good bye well
She sits on her cold bed - said
“Are you here now boy?"
She looked out and saw stars - cars Carry them by
As though he had died her love still a live
Anger bleeding she hates leaving never said goodbye
Still not grieving not conceding cannot say goodbye
All of the distance comes between
All of the heart power can’t be seen
He holding her so tight - flight
Mist gone somehow girl
She speaks in love’s whisper - blur Focus too high
As though they had died their spirits still a live
[]: Anger bleeding they hate leaving never said goodbye
Still not grieving not conceding cannot say goodbye
He smashed through her window - shows
Pain of looking in

Title: Hear You Breathe
Words By: Rick Denzien & Debra Lee
Music By: Rick Denzien
Baby, baby - lying next to me
Darkness fills this room – you’re still light for me
Living all this time – yet I can’t pretend
To feel anything – or to comprehend
Silent walls become deafening
Listening hard but I can’t hear a thing
I need – to hear you breathe - I need – to hear you breath
I need – to hear you breathe –
Baby please can’t hear you breathe
Baby, baby – bitter morning tea
Conversations with myself haunting me
How could this sweet life become so severe?
Kids are gone now but the old cat’s still here
Perfume lingers fresh flowers grow
Smell your night shirt and I can’t let you go
Moon shine on my pillow
Shadow dream clear window
Quiet veil descends -- veil descends
Hey baby baby clock is ticking slow
Will we meet again in some mystic glow?
If it’s true I’ll bring that gold diamond band
“Promise of Forever” etched in my hand
Ugly man in the looking glass
Never grew wiser though all these years passed

The Way Death Looks on you
Words & Music by Rick Denzien
Of all the mystic powers we here
gathered now possess They're growing by the hour releaving all our stress - well
Before the milk turns sour and the wax stops up our ears
There's no time to cower now the Reapers creeping near
And I really, really, really, really hate - The way DEATH LOOKS ON YOU DEATH LOOKS ON YOU
Her hair style is now quite deceased the
She has a fakie smile The way her blouse is neatly creased she can stay here for a while Her
eyes are closed, she sees the least no focus on the past
We think she needs the village priest or one last live podcast
And I really, really, really, really hate - The way DEATH LOOKS ON YOU DEATH LOOKS ON YOU
:
Don't bother with your underware, though it's nice if they come clean
Death can be so pretty - pretty MEAN!
Whoa :[]
Still you might be very stiff - from Lack of exercise, you're
Feeling just a little miffed you missed your last sunrise well
What's the rush? you're not that swift we're Having one more beer, one more beer
Did you smell that stinking whiff? Why should have no fear?
And I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hate -
The way DEATH LOOKS ON YOU DEATH LOOKS ON YOU
Don't bother with your underwear, though it's nice if they come clean
Death can be so pretty - pretty MEAN!
Mahogony and black my rapper hat we just got capped - death looks on you
The way DEATH LOOKS ON YOU DEATH LOOKS ON YOU
The way DEATH LOOKS ON YOU DEATH LOOKS ON YOU
The way DEATH LOOKS ON YOU DEATH LOOKS ON YOU

Title: FREE FROM TROUBLE
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien & Debra Lee
It’s a nasty little mess I find myself in
A little bitty mess with a twisted end
Where I could take a fall
And not get up again
Once there was a royal queen with a loyal king
Cut his heart in bits then flushed it down the drain
He plugged the empty hole
And washed away the pain
And was free from trouble – was free again
There’s a grav’ly gritty mess circling round again
A teeny tiny heart to let it all back in
But it won’t enter twice
To where it once has been
There’s fearlessness to face a case of life and death
When something must go wrong there’s nothing left to gain
Because enough’s enough
And I must catch my breath
To be free from trouble – to be free again
Bridge:
Pretty dreams of you are nightmares too
I can’t get no rest
The fortuity of our destiny
Is like a bullet to the chest
A dirty little mess the same shit every time
You’re not gonna change on this you bet your life
That I won’t be a fool
Coz it would be a crime
It’s time that I come clean it’s time to walk away
From the crummy chaos of the wreck you made
Now I reclaim my soul
And everything’s okay
Coz I’m free from trouble – I am free from trouble
To be free from trouble - I’m free from trouble
To be free from trouble - I’m free from trouble
To be free from trouble - I’m free from trouble

Title: Didn’t See the Sun
Music By: Dan Murray & Rick Denzien
Words By: Dan Murray, Rick Denzien & Debra Lee
I Swear I didn’t see the sun today
Get paid the minor wage and like a slave
I’m shackled to my task, I got no choice
I’m caged without a voice
Callous stare wet bloody scarred red hands
Dreaming to escape their heinous trap
To a place that’s far beneath my skin a longing deep within
I didn’t see the sun today – from dawn to dusk I toil
My soul is sold and disappears behind these factory doors
Swear I didn’t see my son today
I kiss his sleeping cheek then to the cave
to where I sacrifice my time for pay
and slowly fade to grey
v Punch my flesh again against the clock
The whistle blows, my lifes in after shock
And I will never see the light of day it’s hell for me to stay
I didn’t see the sun today – from dawn to dusk I toil
My soul is sold and disappears like water set to boil
Yeah
Well I didn’t see my son today
This punishments so severe
Gotta find my way out of here
Swear I didn’t see the sun today
Cannot let my spirit die this way
Close my eyes and rest my weary feet
Wish I could hold my boy and feel complete

Rescue You
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien, Rik Taylor, Debra Lee
Verse I:
Saw him turn the corner on that busy Philly street
Shopped the morning trash can for his coffee
Pulled a pickle from inside to him a tasty treat
And though he seemed familiar I couldn’t quite believe
There was a man looked like my lost friend
He used to say to me
You give it your best whatever you try When trouble comes by and shatters your view
When life is a mess and things fall a part - Nothing is right and answers are few
I’ll rescue you
Serving for the first time in dust country out on loan
Dropped more than he’d ever want to tell you
He‘s the one who kept us all out of the body bangs
The last time that I saw him they carried him away
We thought he died when he drew their fire
Still I can hear him say
You give it your best whatever you try When trouble comes by and shatters your view
When life is a mess and things fall a part - Nothing is right and answers are few
I’ll rescue you
Fallen brother - His sacrifice to pay - Greater than no other
I remember every single word I heard him say - in the field that day
I walked over to that man worth more than my loose change
Stopped and found the meaning of life’s riddle
My hand went out to meet him like family re-arranged
He looked up slow cracked a smile in his eyes I could see
There was the friend who saved me back then
The turn had come to me
You give it your best whatever you try When trouble comes by and shatters your view
When life is a mess and things fall a part - Nothing is right and answers are few
I’ll rescue you

Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
We don’t got corporate jobs
There ain’t no big payday
We aren’t some useless slobs
We all got bills to pay
We running in the red
No matter what they say
We eat the tanted meat
Dead got the triptafane
Chorus:
Go out and play
Resist the threat today
Go out and play
We aren’t your slaves today
Go out and play
They stream some liquid lead
We more dumb than before
They watch us in our bed
Scan us at every door
We might just take a look
They kick us to the floor
We break the chains they make
Took love and give us pain
Chorus:
Go out and play
Resist the threat today
Go out and play
We aren’t your slaves today
Go out and play
Bridge:
Rearrange the chairs on a deck of this sinking ship but
No one wants to stay
The kids got perfect teeth, but the mouth is in decay
Chorus:
Go out and play
Resist the threat today
Go out and play
We aren’t your slaves today
Go out and play
