Take a Risk
I couldn’t, no I wouldn’t
Someone said it wasn’t right
Well maybe just a little bite
How do you measure success
When stepping over people always leaves a mess
Always know who is staying around for the cleanup
They’re the ones who will stand right by your side inside
Take a risk on yourself honey
Only so many trips around the sun
Take a risk on yourself honey
Don’t compare yourself to anyone
You know what you need to do
And you know that I know it too
Won’t risk it, might miss it
Don’t resist it
Grab the dream by the soul and kiss it
Please don’t make the fear your jailer
You only see real growth through failure
Make the doing your favorite flavor
Most of the others, they couldn’t care less
You find they all lay awake at night sometimes
Take a risk on yourself honey
Only so many trips around the sun
Take a risk on yourself to start it
Don’t compare yourself to anyone
You know what you need to do
Take a risk on yourself honey
Only so many trips around the sun
Take a risk on yourself honey
Don’t compare yourself to anyone
Go risk it, don’t miss it, don’t resist it

Isn’t It Shameful
It’s so damn easy
To buy and use and waste
Like Augustus and the golden ticket
A smiling stuffing face
While a neighbor can’t provide
A single square each day
It isn’t in our nature
Denying what we’ve found
It must come from a selfishness
Deep somewhere in the ground
One world one chance
Why can’t we understand time is running out
Isn’t it shameful
Isn’t it appalling
Isn’t it disgraceful
Isn’t it a shame
Anything is possible
Anything worth trying
Anything is solvable
Anything
Since when is making profit
A noble guiding light
A truly righteous person
Knows virtue meaning right
If more is better is our motivation
We’re all lost
Nothing left to give our children
Watch it flow down the drain
Took it all for ourselves
All our love’s in vain
Isn’t it shameful
Isn’t it appalling
Isn’t it disgraceful
Isn’t it a shame
Anything is possible
Anything worth trying
Anything is solvable
Anything

Equal Chances
Your family doesn’t talk about it
But you know your brother is gone
You know he was working the corner
Said if he crossed him
He’d never be found
He always showed up for the learning
Always worked hard to make his mark
No pain and no house of ivory
Another wasted mind
Another wasted start
You let the man know what was needed
You were only trying to ease the pain
He said he had to present the offer
You said you wouldn’t start that circle again
So you worked at Starling’s Diner
Sweat to know how to climb the line
And when the news of the shop’s closing
Brother whispered something
‘Bout you being blind
Everyone deserves an equal chance
No matter who you are
Or where your from
Good fortune shouldn’t set the odds
What a child can and will become
You fought against the sorrow
Pick up pushed through again
You will beg or steal or borrow
Or muddle in the drug of the day
When opportunity comes as often
No baby choses where to be born
If a child is given some wings
It stands to reason they will learn how to soar
Everyone deserves an equal chance
No matter who you are
Or where your from
Good fortune shouldn’t set the odds
What a child can and will become

Right Here
You know I try to be
In the present but it’s
Hard to get out of my head
For some a simple task
In making moments last
Living here and now instead
For you I’ll do anything
I’ll even try to stick around
Right here right now
Make the most of what you’ve got
Right here right now
Life lessons in many forms
You better be ready to take them in
Don’t be blind
Don’t put up barriers
Never to late to begin
For you I’ll do anything
You make it worthwhile to stick around
Right here right now
Make the most of what you’ve got
Right here right now
Close your eyes and visualize
Listen to what you need
Now I understand
Take a full step back
Like you’re looking through the mirror
Like a childhood version
A mystery excursion
Never really fully formed
For you I’ll do anything
I’ll even try to stick around
Right here right now
Make the most of what you’ve got
Right here right now

First Act
That was the first act
Chasing down the sugar shack
I thought I had my own back
Turned to be more of a sneak attack
After a brief intermission
The cast is running with steam
No stopping perpetual motion
But slower you know what I mean
Feels like a brand new look
With eyes wide open
Clear as a bell
All focused inside
Now it’s time for the second act
Kinda a comeback
Put it a gunnysack
Be good be strong like a lumberjack
Feels like a brand new look
With eyes wide open
Clear as a bell
All focused inside
Thought I had it right
But I started thinking again
The best road’s in site
And it never ends
That was my first act
Now time for the next act

Breathing
The very second you open your lids
It felt so vivid like when we were kids
All that innocence
In a world of very slow change
Playing twister and tangling our limbs
Closest friends after taking a swim
All love all fortune with little to arrange
No need to rush
Don’t you hurry
Close your eyes
Breath deep
see more clearly
It’s hard enough to not get caught up in
All the shit around us
Ain’t it enough to hold what’s free
Spirit free oh dear, my dear
No need to rush
Don’t you hurry
Close your eyes
Breath deep
see more clearly
The very second your lids get lazy
A light so brilliant and it don’t sound crazy

Brain Cage
Can’t stop
The brakes ain’t working
Vinyl top
With the look of leather
Two tone
I remember it clearly
Cold as bone
It’s the dead of Winter
It’s a quite December
What my mind can render
Was a shiny silver fender
Long ago forever
So sweet
To have this visit
How’d we meet
In my imagination
I put you in this location
Just like a sleepy vacation
Subconscious mutation
Of limited duration
It’s like a magic trick
And I don’t need to practice
I just turn out the lights
You come knockin’ on my noggin
No appointment needed
When I awoke
Half of what I remember
I know you spoke
About exactly what I wanted to hear
Was me talking
Or did you really appear
Like nighttime travel
A way to keep you near
It’s like a magic trick
And I don’t need to practice
I just turn out the lights
You come knockin’ on my noggin
No appointment needed
There’s no reason to ask
If you come here often
While time does soften
I know your gone
It’s like a magic trick
And I don’t need to practice
I just turn out the lights
You come knockin’ on my noggin
You come climbing in my brain
You come to stimulate my mind
You come a rapping on my stove
You come knocking on my noggin
You come rapping in my brain cage

Numbed a Little

Numbed a Little
You remind me of my younger self
Always knows what isn’t right
Compelled to stand up you must speak loudly
Mustn’t lay down the nightmares come
Keep at bay that crowding fiend
Although sometimes he seems like friend
He helps all matters with nicotine
That mixes well with dark caffeine
It feels too good
Can’t get enough
It buries the hurt
In some murky mud
And even though
You can’t focus much
Everyday hurt is numbed a little
How to manage the ups and downs
Better be up than suffocating
Controlling with chemistry your body and mind
Controlling response Pavlovian chimes
You reminded me of our cherished idols
You know the ones who told us of mortal existence
Their art so expressive it speaks to us plaining
But haunted too much to deal with life daily
It feels too good
Can’t get enough
It buries the hurt
In some murky mud
And even though
You can’t focus much
Everyday hurt is numbed a little
First coffee
Then inhaling
Bent elbow
Then caplet
Then cooking
And needle
And huffing and puffing
No stopping
No fighting
Log gone moderation
You’re either recovering
Or being one with the mud
I fear you lost all worldly perspective
Fallen victim pain can be partly your choice
See beauty that comes it shadows most greatly
Or lose to the darkness and all it destroys
It feels too good
Can’t get enough
It buries the hurt
In some murky mud
And even though
You can’t focus much
The everyday hurt is numbed a little

Down by the Water
Little girl (lost without your mother)
You found a pearl (while exploring beside the water)
He always comes home pissed (he’s a bad excuse for a father)
So you keep the shells (you found down by the water)
The world that surrounds you
The life that you made
Alone isolated
Now your all grown up (living all by yourself)
Your Dad’s locked up (shouldn’t drive after all that drinking)
People say (you never go out)
But I saw you walking (searching by the water)
The world that surrounds you
The life that you made
Alone isolated
Can I get to know you
Can you let me in
I know it’s hard to open up
Considering where you’ve been
I know you’re used to being one no next of kin
I can follow your lead
Go at your speed
Please, please, please
The world that surrounds you
The life that you made
It’s all better when you share
What you find down by the river

Von Doodle Daddies San Francisco, California
Hailing from the foggy hills of San Francisco, Von Doodle Daddies is an old school rock and roll group with a new global purview. Born out of the isolation of a global pandemic, a world in which artist need to speak up, and the shared belief that music heals, this band of life-long rockers is ready to break out, with cause, from the depths of a studio and into the public eye. ... more
