Six Feet 02:37
there's an evil under the sun death it comes to everyone rich and poor the wise and foolish regardless of all accomplishments and all your bravest deeds disregarding all you've seen you're buried in the ground six feet down so what's the purpose and what's the point is all this worthless all my wisdom ends the same death will come and lay it's claim the fool ends up no different the valiant and decadent well vanity under the sun and death it comes to everyone death does not discriminate we die just give me purpose before I go don't leave me worthless six feet below

Purpose 02:15
there's an evil under the sun time will pass on everyone chance will strike and without warning spending all our days in mourning names forgotten and erased love and jealousy and hate vanish all from memory and fade into the sun just take what's given while we are young amidst our toiling (under the sun) wisdom surely outshines madness folly leads to further sadness both will surely end the same when death decides to lay it's claim so rejoice under the sun rejoice in labors done rejoice within the one life we live

200 BPM 03:24
V1: I propose that Love is theory theoretical in mind she says she needs the practical and practically all the time There is Calculation hypotheticals and postulates regarding emotion And including all its aggregates She needs application Where the Sinews and the pressures match flows from derivation and the Fingers meet and join and catch And there are all these formulae these. complex forms describe ideal but given my l hypothesis she still says she needs something real CH1: The process of accurately Approximating enormous complexities Leaves me breathless describing what most certainly will never make good sense to me V2: Trying to accommodate what man can never understand attempting to conglomerate all observations of woman Everything empirical that I've collected across time It Now only repudiates the past conclusions of my mind My head is spinning circles And unknowing what it thought it knew This undulating process it creates and then creates anew My heart quickly accelerates while pondering this mystery 200 beats per minute and continues beating rapidly CH2: The process of accurately Approximating enormous complexities Leaves me breathless describing what certainly never will make sense to me How can I Begin to try to implement All That I've learned in my descent Into madness V3: I propose that love is not As simple as a formula I'm giving up this project And I'm calling love an enigma But beautiful, and mystery a wondrous serendipity these unexplained phenomena are brimming with complexities My head is spinning circles But it's learning everything anew This undulating process it creates and then creates anew But who wants love to stay the same There's radiance in every change The pursuit of the hidden things Gives life to what we call mundane CH3: The process of accurately Approximating enormous complexities Is so worthless describing what most certainly will never make good sense to me Just give up Love transcends every boundary And all human ability

She said To me "I feel this great antipathy Towards all I fall Into these fits of apathy So why Can't I Find it within me to bestow grace" Her face Turned sweetly Toward mine As I replied "Darling nor can I Grace is not my own Hard as I may try" She said To me With an apparent pleasantry "These words You speak They sound like vain attempts to appear meek To seek To strive to show the world Humility" "Darling how can I Grace is not my own Hard as I may try The grace that I've been shown Is all I I can bestow The grace I show Is the grace I know The grace I know Is the grace that I've been shown" She said To me "I think I can now see things as you see To love Is simply giving what's first from above" She smiled With light that I won't here Try to describe Alive With radiance reflected from the sun "So Darling just as I Grace is not my own Hard as I may try The grace that I've been shown Is all I I can bestow"

Resting 02:31
Jesus, I am resting, resting, In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart. Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee, And Thy beauty fills my soul, For by Thy transforming power, Thou hast made me whole. O, how great Thy loving kindness, Vaster, broader than the sea! O, how marvelous Thy goodness, Lavished all on me! Yes, I rest in Thee, Belovèd, Know what wealth of grace is Thine, Know Thy certainty of promise, And have made it mine. Ever lift Thy face upon me As I work and wait for Thee; Resting ’neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus, Earth’s dark shadows flee. Brightness of my Father’s glory, Sunshine of my Father’s face, Keep me ever trusting, resting, Fill me with Thy grace. Jesus, I am resting, resting, In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart.

Another Song 04:48
Stillness on the great abyss Darkness of that great expanse Starlight on the ocean mist Nothing moves Be still my soul distant moon lit gleam On the water face Morning comes Not with haste Daybreak on the brightest emerald sea Sunrise and all her glistening Rise over me Be still my soul
