NOTHING EVER
Words & Music by: RickDenzien
too much is missing
from things I should know
useless expressions
they're lame at best
had a friend tell me
I looked in those eyes
looked like an abyss
scared me to think so
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes ~ well it's no secret
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes - well it's no secret
yeah
went back to school
tried to learn it all
backward confessions
they're hard to understand
keeps me up all night
mother send love
will I learn the truth
or will the rooster crow
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes ~ well it's no secret
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes - well it's no secret
I want to meet tomorrow but I can't remember it
I want to meet tomorrow but I just can't think of it
and if I kiss you in a dream
i'll wake - maybe
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes ~ well it's no secret
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes of this
nothing ever comes - well it's no secret

Religion & Philosophy
Words & Music by Rick Denzien
They use the telephone we invented
To send a man with a bomb to destroy a plane we invented both
They hold their children and mothers in fear
Won’t let the woman vote or drive a car we invented
Yeah
Ten thousand years behind the times
A billion lives behind the lines
In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong
In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong
And I believe it’s true
They kill a man for what he says is true
They won’t stop there until they kill his family too
They blow our distant guns while we stand here safe
And count the money – send a wire transfer
Kiss the power elite baby bend over and smile
Maybe they’ll fund your coupe
In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong
In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong
And I believe it’s true
No more death and dying - No more tears and crying
Started to believe that maybe - We are living right here
No more death and dying - No more tears and crying
They say heaven’s out there - I say this is all there is
All there is – this is all there is - And I believe it’s true
We build our sky towers of glass and steel
Build all new temples and pray to the god that made it real
It’s the true religion and philosophy that unites the world
Truth is – put it on the card – can’t wait to get it home
Just think of how it feels after 15 billion years
In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong
In the name of religion oppress true vision - All a long wrong god wrong
And I believe it’s true

Laserite Creed
Words & Music by Rick Denzien
We believe that we share the same light, air and water
The same dreams hopes and fears
The universe goes on forever
Yet we all face ultimate limitations
Good is what we do to help one another
And evil is ignorance of our moral duty
We must not fear the unknown
Or take solace in mystical revelations
They contain no truth
We must love one another
See all in all
See as far as our dreams can carry us
There will be a sign in the sky
There will be laser writing on the moon

Survivor in the Wild

There is a cat stalking the night
Stalking its prey stalking all night

Even the prey in its own way
Hunts for its food all through the day

Leader of attack survival of the fittest
This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Survivor – survivor in the wild survivor in the wild
Fight in the street cut to the bone
Stealing a life heart like a stone
This is how it is this is how we live, live and survive
Setting a trap placing the bate
Look of the chance to devastate
This is how it is this is how we live, live and survive
This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Leader of attack survival of the fittest
This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Survivor – survivor in the wild survivor in the wild
The wounded land – gray slayer’s hand
Be true cause there is still love to be found
This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Leader of attack survival of the fittest
This is how it is - Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Survivor – survivor in the wild survivor in the wild

Singularity
Words & Music by Rick Denzien
There’s a girl I know way up in the Pocono’s
Meet her just a few times
In a place nobody knows
Of all the known forces in the universe
Well it pulls us together
And we can’t stay apart
No no we can’t stay apart yeah
There’s one thing you ought to know
There’s a singularity that’s what you do for me
A singularity in this thing called love
Singularity that’s what I gotta see
Everything is simple when you’re thinking
Singularity – singularity – singularity – singularity
There’s a place I go when I’m feeling mighty mighty low
And all the energy I spend just trying nobody knows
This could be so good or this could be a curse
Well it pulls us together and we can’t stay apart
No no we can’t stay apart yeah
There’s one thing you ought to know
There’s a singularity that’s what you do for me
A singularity in this thing called love
Singularity that’s what I gotta see
Everything is simple when you’re thinking
Singularity – singularity – singularity – singularity
I want to stay for so long – there’s a singularity
I want to play for so long - there’s a singularity
I hear the waters are so strong - there’s a singularity
I want to stay for so long - there’s a singularity
There’s a singularity that’s what you do for me
A singularity in this thing called love
Singularity that’s what I gotta see
Everything is simple when you’re thinking

Fragile As Glass
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
Fragile as glass
We break so easily
How delicately we are made
Fragile as glass
She breaks so easily
We got to take care not to shatter her
By what we say - Or what we do
Cause next time she could shatter you
Fragile as glass
We break so easily
How delicately we are made
Fragile as glass
She breaks so easily
We got to take care not to shatter her
Dreams and hopes that you may think silly
But she loves you so willingly
And we’ve got to take good care of the love that she shares
Or she won’t be there when you need a prayer
When love is unheard of and friendship is rare
Well god in his mercy made us aware
That we need some forgiveness to love and forbear
Cause once her love is broken
It’s not easily repaired got to handle her with care
Fragile as glass
We break so easily
How delicately we are made
Fragile as glass
She breaks so easily
We got to take care not to shatter her love

South America
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
Digging here all day digging for the mother load
10,000 pounds of dirt just searching for a grain of gold
Come here as a young man seeking the world’s wealth
I could die here as an old man poor and in ill health
Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain
Running for the gold – run until you’re old
South America – South America – South America
Amazon sky jungle makes a play for the soul
With twenty trips a day the mining takes it’s toll
Danger on the ladder mud sticks to the skin
You can eat the beans and rice yet the body stays so thin
Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain
Running for the gold – run until you’re old
South America – South America – South America
Free from all harm – flee till it’s over
Flee from all harm – tonight
Flee from all harm - flee from the enemy
Free from all harm – tonight – yeah tonight yeah
Man they drink on payday women are rich in the town
Man they want to go home the rains just come down
In the rain they sleep and see the ones they miss
Only lucky ones are not reduced to this
Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain
Running for the gold – run until you’re old
South America – South America – South America

Why Do We Come Here Sober?
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
And as they said there was no sky - I had to as myself
Why do we come here sober?
And as her tears began to dry - I had to as myself
Why do we come here sober at all?
I can feel it all
I can feel the anger of the day
I can feel the moment slipping away - yeah
Why do we come here sober - Why do we come here sober
Why do we come here sober at all?
And as the smoke burned in my eyes - I have to ask myself
Why don’t we just come over
And touch the truth before the lie - Maybe we just can’t take it
Why don’t we just come over at all
Can’t you see it all?
I can feel the hate just cracking away
I can feel surroundings slipping away - yeah
Why do we come here sober - Why do we come here sober
Why do we come here sober at all?
I don’t buy all this crap – that they’re selling me
I can see through this electric glass – so easily
And now we stayed up through the night - We try to catch the edge
We dance till we fall over
It sends me screaming my heart fright - I have to as myself
Why do we come here sober at all
Can’t you feel it all?
I can feel the anger of the day
I can feel salvation slipping away – yeah
Why do we come here sober - Why do we come here sober
Why do we come here sober at all?
Why do we come here sober?

Why Do You Love?
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
We’ve been sitting here
Half way through the night
Hoping for the right words to say
But we just cannot find them
They seem to slip away
And the walls echo back
What lonely hearts will say
Do you love – do you love – do you love? - tell me please
All I ever wanted
Is to be loved by you
If it’s really true time will bear
Sometimes love is kind
Sometimes it isn’t there
Empty conversations
Tell me that you care
Do you love – do you love – do you love? - tell me please
I‘ve heard loving lines spoken
Happens every time and hearts are broken
I don’t know what you expect
And I don’t know any more
And I want to understand
So tell me what it is
You’re such a wiz
I guess love is all we lack
So we’re sitting here
Looking for a way
Night turns to day so frequently
And you just cannot tell me
What it was you meant
Listen to the questions
That lonely hearts invent
Do you love – do you love – do you love? - tell me please

Quick To Kill
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien & Bernie Capodici
I can feel the pounding in my heart
I can’t believe it’s true
Don’t know just where you came from
Don’t know what I should do
You got me in your sites
Don’t know what’s wrong or right
And I got no place to hide
But lord knows I tried
You’re so
Quick to kill my loneliness - Quick to kill my pain
Quick to fill my empty heart - Quick to stop the rain
Came into the canyons of new york
A strange and lonely town
I’m here to do a job
But I see you all around
You know I’d make up my mind
But you can’t make me blind
Nothings gonna get in my way
Just hear what I say
You’re so
Quick to kill my loneliness - Quick to kill my pain
Quick to fill my empty heart - Quick to stop the rain
I didn’t want a showdown
I guess I knew that I could loose
Here you are in front of me
Ready to shoot
With sweaty palms I draw down
A lonely man about to die
Someone’s gonna loose this time around
You’re so
Quick to kill my loneliness - Quick to kill my pain
Quick to fill my empty heart - Quick to stop the rain
