ENDLESS SYNAPSES By Mychael John Thomas Every night I go to bed Thoughts are racing in my head But the more I try to let ‘em be Only sends a melody Can’t leave nothing left unsaid Every time I think I’m done Something really turns me on Then my brain is working overtime Looking for a perfect line Soon I’m gonna sing that song CHORUS Here comes the hook…It sure feels good Pounding out the rhythm like a Rock Guru Won’t make a penny…Probably won’t reach many But I got nothin’ better to do… Than make a song for you Pushing till I’m nearly dead I oughta go to sleep instead But every note is magically Touching what we never see Burning like a worn out tread Every word is just sublime Leading me to another rhyme Flowing thru the artistry To another music stream For the hearing ears to find CHORUS BRIDGE I suppose I should get on with a point But I don’t know if I’ve got anything relevant to say The spirit is willing but it all comes out Just endless synapses pouring out on a page SOLO Like Picasso or Van Gogh I’m driven to express Some illusive inner vision of my heart The notes are my colours and music my canvas What picture shall I paint to impart? CHORUS There goes a stroke…God only knows How it’s gonna look when I’m finally through Won’t make a penny…Probably won’t reach many But I got nothin’ better to do… Than make a song for you CHORUS Here comes the hook…It sure feels good Pounding out the rhythm like a Rock Guru Won’t make a penny…Probably won’t reach many But I got nothin’ better to do… Than make a song for you ©2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

MAD 04:23
MAD By Mychael John Thomas I got up in a really bad mood I think it’s gonna be a vicious day Don’t feel like being good I wanna throw my nice away Wanna scream to top of my lungs So the whole neighborhood will hear I don’t really give a flying (bleep) And I don’t want you here CHORUS Mad at everything, everybody Every dam molecule on the earth Even wanna bash my guitar through a wall ‘Cause I don’t feel like I’m worth the air that I breathe Mad as I can be…Just MAD Why are we cursed with all this disease? And starving children living out on the street? While all the fat cats are living high on the hog And never really have to need No compassion! No mercy! No chance Of ever turning things around All long as we live by the dollar And run each other in the ground CHORUS BRIDGE I know ain’t gonna help nobody If I burn the whole system down But maybe it’s gonna feel a whole lot better If I open up and let it out…Because I’M MAD!!! SOLO How can you be angry and commit no sin? When I feel this way I wanna bash skulls in No Prayer No Mantra gonna make it all right But GOD help me make it to the night CHORUS Mad at everything, everybody But mostly mad at myself ‘Cause I know it’s my own damn fault I’m living here in this Hell…I can’t believe Mad as I can be…I can't blieve Mad as I can be....Just MAD...MAAAAAAD I'm mad as a hatter...I need Dr. Phil and Oprah Winfrey ©2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

CHAIN OF EVENTS By Mychael John Thomas These chains of events are weighing me down Holding me back…Spinning me ‘round No choice…Gotta be moving on…Moving on One thing leads to another thing And some things you can’t understand Overwhelmed by the weight of it all And nothing seems part of the plan Everything looks so random I don’t even know how to process I need to hear a word from Heaven To help me sort through this mess CHORUS These chains of events are weighing me down Holding me back…Spinning me ‘round No choice…Gotta be moving on (I gotta be moving on) I feel the extent of damage done Walk in the light…Healing begun These chains of events will soon be gone…Soon be gone Even people that I don’t know Blame for what I didn’t do Maybe it’s my Karma coming around Am I’m paying for the sins of youth Can’t concentrate…Can’t meditate ‘Cause the Truth don’t shed any light Why do these bad things happen to Good people who try to do right CHORUS BRIDGE Got to keep a positive attitude Don’t get negative don’t get rude Just keep singing about that love (just keep singing) Walking the high road…Rising above SOLO CHORUS These chains of events are weighing me down Holding me back…Spinning me ‘round No choice…Gotta be moving on (I gotta be moving on) I feel the extent of damage done Walk in the light…Healing begun These chains of events will soon be gone BRIDGE 2 Transcending…Hearts are mending (I feel something) Keep learning…Hearts are yearning (Love is coming) Find meaning…Hearts are leaning (I feel something good) Feel something…Love keeps coming OUT CHORUS (Chains of events) No more losing (Chains of events) Gotta keep moving (Chains of events) No more losing Gotta keep moving on… I’m gonna break free from these chains of events ©2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Old School 05:36
OLD SCHOOL By Mychael John Thomas Overloaded with too much information Memory full of trivia I can’t use Under control of a new Hi-Res Messiah Emotions numb…And that I must refuse Some higher consciousness is part of everything We can deny it…But somebody’s gonna sing CHORUS Old school…Getting to the heart of it No rules…Give me something real Old school…Feeling every part of it No fool…I know what I need to do So now we’re facing life in the new millennium But some traditions ought to remain the same I’ve seen changes that I thought would never come Yet a rose is a rose by any other name Life is a dance and each one hears a different beat We find our rhythm in the love of those we meet CHORUS BRIDGE Share those stories of a generation born of peace Use the gift to set the record straight We were meant to live in pursuit of liberty Don’t give in…And let it slip away SOLO (verse) Our time has come and we will have to make a choice For me I follow when I hear that inner voice CHORUS © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

LOVE IS ON OUR SIDE By Mychael John Thomas I have heard that time is healing… haven’t dreamed you in a while And though you’re just a memory…Still it makes me smile Even hopes and expectations…That were never realized Are only evidence to me that love…was on our side CHORUS Love is absolutely on our side (Love is on our side) Love is absolutely on our side (In every tide) In the storms around us raging...Or the calm in the sunshine Love is absolutely…(resolutely)…On our side Some people call it Karma…And others call it Fate I just call it another day…To walk in grace And the lives I have encountered… And encounters yet to come I consider all as blessings of the world we’re from CHORUS BRIDGE Every moment is a promise of the chance To allow our hearts to change…To be enhanced And when all is tried by fire What will remain is Holy desire To be one…With someone SOLO In the storms around us raging...Or the calm in the sunshine Love is absolutely…(resolutely)…absolutely…on our side Love is on our side…Love is on our side © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Vicious 04:08
VICIOUS By Mychael John Thomas I’m watching how you treat the others around you You talk about love but you’re living a lie Some kind of negative energy surrounds you But now I just can’t silently stand by Tried to reach you every way But sometimes you just gotta say CHORUS You’re vicious (Don’t see no love in your heart) You’re vicious (Don’t see no love in your heart) Vicious…No sign of love in your heart at all Who was it damaged you as a child? Mommy and Daddy deserted you in your hurt The cool kids excluded you back in high school Now you’re trying to punish the whole world I’m tired of taking the blame Not me who drove you insane CHORUS BRIDGE Everybody’s got their story to tell Each one endures some private hell People fool ya…Don’t let it rule ya Take a chance…Come out of your shell SOLO I want to believe there is hope for you But for the Grace of GOD so go I When I look in the mirror do I see a fool? Or somebody who’s living at peace with life I’m gonna lay down my sword ‘Cause you can be sure CHORUS I don’t wanna be vicious (Can you see love in my heart) I’m not vicious (I need some love in my heart) Not vicious…Need love in my heart ‘cause I don’t wanna be vicious (Can you see love in my heart) I’m not vicious (I need some love in my heart) Need love in my heart so that I don’t fall I’m not vicious © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

STILL BREATHING By Mychael John Thomas I open my eyes and it’s another day Seems there ain’t no love nowhere in this age Then I feel that pain way down in my heart Just holding on to my faith can be so hard This life I have ain’t what I thought it would be And it seems like death is closing fast on me CHORUS But I’m still breathing…Feeling every second Time drags on forever waiting for Heaven? I don’t know what tomorrow brings…But today I ain’t dead yet I’m still breathing…Maybe that’s as good as it gets Out on the street spirits are hateful They have no peace and live to be ungrateful A simple smile doesn’t melt the ice They inflict hurt while never thinking twice My sinking soul is about to suffocate Love is oxygen…I hope it’s not too late CHORUS BRIDGE One foot in front of the other…And one step at a time A voice inside my head says everything will be just fine One shallow breathe is all that is standing in the way Of me declaring this will be my dying day SOLO CHORUS TAG I don’t know what tomorrow brings…But I ain’t dead yet I’m still breathing…Maybe that’s as good as it gets… Ha Ha Ha Ha I’m still breathing…I’m still breathing…Huh!

PEACE BY PEACE By Mychael John Thomas I know that good things are well worth the waiting for And I’ve heard that Rome wasn’t built in a day Well I don’t wanna be destructive any more Can we just stop tearing us down this way? Our life together is crumbling We gotta fix it now or lose everything CHORUS We’ve got problems…But I know we can solve them Gotta do it peace by peace love I know you’ve got your reasons…Maybe you could leave ‘em For a season peace by peace Love Ain’t no excuse for all of this bickering I see an impasse coming ahead Our passion’s flame getting low and flickering One burst of anger could kill it dead Sometimes it’s more than I can take Can we have one day without all the hate? CHORUS We fight but I‘d rather…See a happy ever after We can have it peace by peace love Instead of just escaping…We could be saving We can make it peace by peace Love BRIDGE They say insanity is… Expecting a change from the same ol’ things Can’t help it if I believe in… The power forgiveness brings CHORUS We’ve had some hard times…But we can leave it all behind And we’ll find a peace by peace love We could help each other…Maybe rediscover How to build it peace by peace Love Peace by peace Love © 2016 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

WARRIOR SUITE By Mychael John Thomas I. STAND UP CHORUS (I get knocked down) I’m a warrior I (Stand up!) (When the demons come around) I’m a warrior I (Stand up!) No force can overtake me…He tells me I’m Free I have Great Strength from above When (I get knocked down) I’m a warrior I (Stand up!) Can you feel the breathe of life In the earth the sea and the air? Something holds us all together But confusion is everywhere You can’t imprison Knowledge Because Faith will overcome Questions burn within us We find the Answers one by one CHORUS When (I get knocked down) I’m a Warrior I (Stand up!) (When the demons come around) I’m a Warrior I (Stand up!) No force can overtake me…He tells me I’m Free I have Great Strength from above When I (get knocked down) I’m a Warrior I, I (Stand up!) II. VOICE OF REASON When the noise of worldly insanity Is drowning out the Voice in your heart Come back to the center where The Words tell us of a brand new start Feel the Peace…Find release From the bondage of your mind On the road it’s an endless search But Truth is everywhere to find CHORUS Hear the Voice (Of reason is speaking to you) Hear the Voice (Revealing the Truth again) Hear the Voice (Of reason is speaking to you) Hear the Voice (It’s leading you through again) There’s a longing deep inside of us To know the Words of Heaven’s song Over time you can lose the sound Till the true Melody is almost gone Listen close…Soon you’ll know And remember that forgotten tune Look for others who feel the same Walk the Journey we were born to choose CHORUS BRIDGE Universe in Harmony…Flowing as was meant to be Scaling Heights to find your place…Fly among the saints SOLO CHORUS III. VICTIM OR VICTOR Listen to what the Angels say “Have no fear! He will show you the way” How many times do I have to learn that Lesson? The poet writes and the minstrel sings Of a Path leading to all things And we can know for sure instead of guessing Put on the Armor…The war is on The darkest hour will give up to the Dawn And when the dust settles Love will lead us home CHORUS So it is until the end… And if we persevere we will surely Win Evil will try to lead us awry… But when the battle begins It all comes down to the moment of Truth When we’re faced with either or (Either Or) We can refuse to be a victim (Refuse to be a Victim) And choose to be A Victor (Not a victim anymore) I choose to be A Victor (not a victim anymore) STAND UP (reprise) (I get knocked down) Not a victim anymore I (Stand up!) (When the demons come around) Not a victim anymore I (Stand up!) No force can overtake me…He tells me I’m Free I have Great Strength from above (I stand up!) I choose to be A Victor (I stand up) I choose to be A Victor (ooh) (When I get knocked down) I’m a Warrior I, I (Stand up!) (When the demons come around) I’m a Warrior I, I (Stand up!) © 2015 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

about

GOD is in even the smallest detail of our lives. This album is about a journey that could be the story of anyone. We all have trials, questions and then moments of clarity...All of our life experiences can lead us back to the one place we all come from. In the end it is our choices that determine our outcome. For me the only choice is, What else?...LOVE : )
