-Go Mad- written and sung by Caleb Kane

Hunted inside my days unfold
Open up take my thought
You just roll 'em around
When you come down
Tell me where, why, when, how

This time I woke up on my back again
Staring up at the sky
I don't care about his confidences
I don't wanna feel that slow
I don't care about these permanencies
When you wannna stop, just go

And I just wanna be near to you
When the things we done come clear to you
And I wanna go mad, I wanna go mad
I wanna go mad for a minute
I just wanna be in it
I just wanna be near to you
When the things we done come clear to you
And I wanna go mad, I wanna go mad
I wanna go mad for a minute
I just wanna be in it, I do

Even in this dumb dance alone
Big ups to all my friends
Cause I don't wanna be black, don't wanna be white
Don't wanna be obvious
Making you a promise that I'll go out swinging
While I'm singing this song for us

And I just wanna be near to you
When the things we done come clear to you
And I wanna go mad, I wanna go mad
I wanna go mad for a minute
I just wanna be in it
I just wanna be near to you
When the things we done come clear to you
And I wanna go mad, I wanna go mad
I wanna go mad for a minute
I just wanna be in it, I do

And even when the complications settle in
And even when I try to put it in its place
And even when the glue around me doesn't stick
And all the walls around me crumble brick by brick

Oh I just wanna be near to you
When the things we done come clear to you
And I wanna go mad, I wanna go mad
I wanna go mad for a minute
I just wanna be in it
I just wanna be near to you
When the things we done come clear to you
And I wanna go mad, I wanna go mad
I wanna go mad for a minute
I just wanna be in it, I do

Time and space are but physiological colors which the eye makes, but the soul is light; where it is, is day; where it was, is night; and history is an impertinence and an injury, if it be any thing more than a cheerful apologue or parable of my being and becoming.
  -Ralph Waldo Emerson


There was no telling what people might find out once they felt free to ask whatever questions they wanted to.

In the sixties, the world was normal and people took acid to make it weird. Nowadays the world is weird and people take prozac to make it normal.

Music is the last true voice of the human spirit. It can go beyond language, beyond age, and beyond color straight to the mind and heart of all people.

Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.

Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down."

An onion can make people cry, but there has never been a vegetable invented to make them laugh.
