I've been known to write and perform a song or two over the course of an interesting and highly creative life. Never famous. Never sought fame. Creativity is of greatest importance in my experience. Having a lot of fun along the way being as creative as my imagination allows me to be and wherever it may take me.

Simianlarity
(Written 1/18/2001)

As he sits upon his boulder,
opposable thumb and finger,
he looks like a thinker,
a higher type of man

But then he turns and looks at me,
his eyes are full of mystery
why are you so resigned
to be less than a man?

Sometimes my thoughts to myself
at home, alone, I try to see that deeper me
to find the truth in my soul, only
the struggle becomes too intense to see

Life tries to push and life tries to pull me,
shatters into pieces my reality
I saw in the mirror of my self-perception
the man I beLIEved others wanted me to be

Lies, they tell you you have no future
changes your perception of reality
Lies, you see from beyond the mirror
changes, now discover your soul's identity

As he rehearses his mind
back to the beginning
he's got it all figured out
got that sacred call

He's got a drug for all occasions
he thinks he is winning
but he is drowning fast
in Paxil land and alcohol

And he rants and raves in his darkworld cave
he's judge and hangman
as he misbehaves
he's less a thinker than a primitive man

He shouts angrily, "God is on my side"
then runs back to his cave  
he proceeds to hide
why are you so resigned to be less than man?

Sometimes my thoughts to myself
at home, alone, I try to see that deeper me
to find the truth in my heart, only
the struggle becomes too intense to see

Life tries to push and life tries to pull me,
shatters into pieces my reality
I saw in the mirror of my self-perception
the man I beLIEved others wanted me to be

Lies, they tell you you have no future
changes your perception of reality
Lies, you see from beyond the mirror
changes, now discover your soul's identity

As he rehearses his mind
back to the beginning
he's got it all figured out
got that sacred call

He's got a drug for all occasions
he thinks he is winning
but he is drowning fast
in Paxil land and alcohol

Lies, they tell you you have no future
changes your perception of reality
Lies, you see from beyond the mirror
changes, now discover your soul's identity

Sometimes my thoughts to myself
at home, alone, I try to see that deeper me
to find the truth in my heart, only
the struggle becomes too intense to see

Life tries to push and life tries to pull me,
shatters into pieces my reality
I saw in the mirror of my self-perception
the man I beLIEved others wanted me to be

Lies, they tell you you have no future
changes your perception of reality
Lies, you see from beyond the mirror
changes, now discover your soul's identity
