Step Inside
01:40
|

Fire, fire
Glowing flowing
Paper be my maker
Overthought, yet overlooked
Falling fast asleep
The swell of tears
is on the edge
Always so close
But the mechanical mind-gears
Kick in
“Tension no more”
The fire says
But I feel it at my core
To the flame
I give my soul
Discover no more shame
My skin, my bone, organs too
The all absorb the blaze
So I judge not my thought
but bend my mind
“Look to the heart”
I say
Joy you will find
Patience is kind
So step inside
My friend

Eager to Break
02:04
|

The sun comes in
It can’t help itself
It fills the dark
The young man worries
I can’t help myself
Show me a sign
I pen this song
Eager to break
Purpose found
The tired man sleeps
Works all day
He knows himself
The mother, she gives
Her loving words
She shares herself
I pen this song
Eager to break
Purpose found
The old man knows
his time is over
He gives one last smile

Open Minds
03:05
|

The only chance we have is together
Our eyes are open wide
Focused on the heat of the battle
We sing
We dance
We fight
And we love
The small things that we do
Sharing a work or two
Telling a story to a new friend
Open minds and open hearts
The news turned off
Let’s walk out the door
We sing
We dance
We fight
And we love
The people on the screens
Their job is to make us feel mean
Trusting them is the last thing we should do
Sometimes we feel hopeless
And there’s nothing to say
There’s nothing wrong with silence and play
We sing
We dance
We fight
And we love

Sunset
02:59
|

Missing the golden hour
Clouds in the way
You’re sad
Let’s try tomorrow, I say
As the sand lights up
Pink and orange reflect
Our feet move
To intersect
Sunrise
Sunset
Everything in-between
I feel time wash away
Don’t wake me from this dream
Joy on the beach
Running in tidal pools
Sliding down dunes
My heart lights up
When we look up at the moon
An early rain pours down
Still the beach calls
A slow, quiet rock
As the morning dew falls
Sunrise
Sunset
Everything in-between
I feel time wash away
Don’t wake me from this dream
Wake up, boy
This day is fine
Let’s walk together
Your small hand in mine

Swerve
02:31
|
|||
Troubled minds hesitate
To lend a helping hand
We aren’t too cold to concentrate
On joy with our fellow man
We swerve left
We swerve right
Past open doors
Honey pours out from the hive
And onto the floor
Feel the swell of love right now
As the fog lifts from the ground
A simple word gives peace of mind
And likeness not far found
We swerve left
We swerve right
Past open doors
Honey pours out from the hive
And onto the floor
A broken key can lead a song
In a different way
The closer the green becomes
The further the gray
We swerve left
We swerve right
Past open doors
Honey pours out from the hive
And onto the floor
Counting numbers in a word
Like leaves on a tree
The blessing is the time we have
We swerve left
We swerve right
Past open doors
Honey pours out from the hive
And onto the floor

Mushroom Stump
02:29
|

Looking for that turkey tail
On the mushroom stump
Got my knife and sack
Gonna harvest a bunch
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
I see that reishi mushroom
Sticking off the hemlock tree
Gonna go get my ladder
And bring it to my baby
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Got me a mushroom sniffing dog
He don’t like to work, he’s lazy as a log
Also got a sidekick who
Works real hard but he’s three foot two
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Lion’s mane, lion’s mane, lion’s mane
Driving me insane
I know you’re here but don’t know where
Gotta get my woman looking everywhere
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump
Mushroom on the stump

Obligation
02:34
|
|||
Obligation snuffs out passion
A gift though
That’s joy
Tossing and turning
Under the sweet soft blankets
Already fighting the next day
Peace can be a strange feeling
Death is evolution
Music is all
Music is all

Hold On
02:37
|
|||
Hold on
The light is close
Hold on
You never know when something might change
The page is almost turned
So hold on
Willingness to choose passion over pattern
Although the gold turns to a gravel trail for you to walk alone
Your soul has finally arrived home
Depths lead to invisible rewards
And the pieces of the puzzle are slowly swept under the door
But until that starts to happen and you don’t know what to do
Rain keeps pouring down
But you just gotta stick to what’s true
Hold on
The light is close
Hold on
You never know when something might change
The page is almost turned
So hold on
Hold on
The light is close
Hold on
You never know when something might change
The page is almost turned
So hold on
