I'm right here beneath the scars
You're right here we've come so far
Love and fear know who we are
Left unclear, a rock round the star
I went down to the coffee shop to find myself astray
I thought and thought and couldn't stop today seemed like yesterday
and the day before not so far, not so far away, the day before yesterday
Cool breeze, pine trees sway
Memories of those days
You and me, light as feather, light as a feather
I'm right here beneath the scars
You're right here we've come so far
Love and fear know who we are
Left unclear, a rock round the star
You and Carl were talking shop and the sun came out to play
you talked and talked and couldn't stop let the topics fade, fade fade fade away
There's a time of day when we all bend and we all break
Turned the corner, waiter dropped a tray, drop in drop out
drop in drop out and fade the day away
they said you can go or you can stay,
they said, deep breath and big wave
Cool breeze, pine trees sway
Memories of those days
You and me, light as feather, light as a feather
I'm right here (4x)
I'm right here beneath the scars
You're right here we've come so far
Love and fear know who we are
Left unclear, a rock round the star

Dizzy

Are you dizzy yet,
‘Cause you could walk away
And how much could you get
If you stayed one more day
Just another day just another day, just another
Down at the High Noon
Passing one and two
We pass it me and you
There’s nothing left to do,
It’s just another day, just another day, just another
Day-- another day, cause you spent your pay on another day
Somethings worth the wait
But you just scratched the itch
Waited to pay full price
Smile and fake your nice
For another day, for another day for another
Crash it hit the ditch,
Down on east wash ave
When you tempted fate
And you stayed one more day
Just another day just another day just another
Day--another day cause you spend your pay on another day
Well are you dizzy yet?
You could have walked away
And how much did you get
On that one more day

Broken Heart

First, last runner up
Push comes to shove when you’re down on your luck
First class, time is up
Moving to slow, broken down from above
You can only love this country with a broken heart
Where do we go when we don’t know where to start
Divided we stand and watch as it falls apart
You can only love this country with a broken heart
Nah nah nah x4
Sip of fresh air
What lies beyond hyperbole
You running to stay in shape
No I’m just running I’m trying to keep up to date
You can only love this country with a broken heart
Where do we go when we don’t know where to start
Divided we stand and watch as it falls apart
You can only love this country with a broken heart
X2
Nah nah nah x4
It goes quick and it comes fast
Inundate with alternate facts
Voices freed will overcome your greed
Kept in check, the mass media in effect
You can love with a broken heart
Break down walls, and make a fresh start
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Wilted

Come clouds in the sky
Won’t you rain down on me
And wash off the dirt so the world can see
We could all be flowers if we got what we need
And everyone would take it
If it was free x3
Sky turned to blue
And it smiles on you
Soakin in sun, riding rays ride the breeze
We could all have power if we stand up for we
And together we could make it
History, History, History
Gone wild wicked weak
Tell me how could it be
That we could all be flowers if we got what we need
You’re blaming the starved for biting hands that don’t feed
I’m flawed and I’m fine on this land some call free
And I’m tired of our times
Wilted by greed 5x
Come clouds in the sky
Won’t you rain down on me
And wash off the dirt so the world can see
Sky turned to blue and it smiles on you
Soakin in sun riding rays ride the breeze
We could all have power, we could all be flowers x4
Wilted by greed x3
Come clouds rain down
Sky is blue its smiling on you
Ride the rays ride the breeze
Gone wild wicked weak

Long Road Home

It’s gonna be a long road home
And I don’t know if we’ll make it
It’s gonna be a stretch of the facts
And I’m not sure we’re on the right track
Long road home and I shared my load
You picked me up and you carried me home
Down my long road home
It’s gonna be a hard days night
And I’ll tell you in the morning
It’s gonna be a deep breath day
And you’ll tell me to be patient
Long road home you can share your load
I’ll pick you up and I’ll care you home
Down your long road home
Road is windy and you can’t be sure
Took it all but you wanted more
Headlights through the frosted air
Looking back just to fix your hair
Eyes fluttering eyes are fluttering
Half a tank and we’ll be there, there, there
Long road home we can share our load
You picked me up but I’ll carry you home
Down our long road home

Dancin' With You
04:39

|
When the newness wears off and the leaves wilt and drop
And the grey thoughts start and you can’t make them stop
I’ll be there I’ll be there you know I’ll be there
Fallin’ with you, fall yes I’m fallin for you
When the fire goes out and you can’t find the light
And the coughing won’t stop and we stayed up all night
I’ll be there I’ll be there you know I’ll be there
Holdin’ you, hold, yes I’m whole when I’m holdin’ you
Dancin’ with you
Dancin’ with me
Dancin’ with you
Dancin’ with me
When our hairs turning grey and we’re losing our site
But we still have each other so we know that we’re right
We’ll be there We’ll be there you know we’ll be there
Dancin’ with you, and you’ll be Dancin’ with me
Dancin’ with you and you’ll be Dancin’ with me

Waiting Out the Storm

Waiting for the storm to blow through
Wadin’ through my mind
Watching the storm blow through you
With you, for you, to you
This too shall pass and brighter days will come at last
Fought through a virus a tear torn Osiris, Osiris
Hollow as a ghost
Listening for truth for truth
Holding in these four walls with you
for you, to you, through you
Feld trees turn a new leaf
Tattered hope overcomes grief
Hatred won’t tire us
Rest easy Osiris Osiris
This too shall pass and brighter days will come at last
Victor of Horus, relinquish Osiris
Drifting with the ghosts down river
Descend on Isis wings
Dreaming of a place down river with you,
For you, to you, through you
Waiting out the storm, wading through the time spent
Watching the storm blow through you
With you, for you, to you
