Downfall Outcome
03:40

Down, down fall down
It’s hard to see how it’s come too this
Out, out come out
Can you play your new role with a twist
Why not buy what you’d steal anyway
Would you lend to a friend who couldn’t pay
Is it fine for a breeze to blow you away
Break through out
Break up turn
Out run way
Side walk
Out break through
Out break out
Turn out run
Way side
Up, up keep up
Don’t fall behind cause we’ll leave you there
In, in come in
Can you earn enough to pay your share

September Morning

Sunrise
September morning
The future breaks like Dawn’s beams
Future breaks like beams
You wake,
You wake in darkness
But rays of light are in your dreams
Light is in your dreams
Clouds are painted red
A warning
Should you stay in bed
The sun is forming an answer
Stars disappear but the sun rises
Sky’s blue
The night’s a memory
But your life can be redeemed
Life can be redeemed

I’ll place the stars
On the ceiling
Of my room
So they’ll be seen
Every night
Then rain or shine
We can watch them
Together
All we must do
Turn off the light
I’ll paint a tree
On the doorway
Of my room
To see the leaves
Every day
Then wind or rain
We’ll hear birds sing
Together
Under the shade
Just you and me
Clouds are calling
Calling you tomorrow
Don’t you fly till I am there
Love is falling
Falling down like sunlight
Through the sky that we will share
I’ll put a rose
On the nightstand
Of my room
For you to see
Every morn
Then as we wake
We’ll see blossoms
Together
The pedals hide
The sharpest thorns

Check The Boxes
02:51
|
|||
|
Here we go let’s check the box
To get through doors you pick the locks
One more item off your list
You cross it out with a flick of your wrist
One by one
Until it’s done, it’s done
Make a plan and stick to it
Don’t surround yourself with bullshit
You feel so good now it’s complete
Take a break get off your feet
Check the boxes
One by one
Check the boxes
Until it’s done

See What Shines
04:15
|

|
The light fades
Another bedtime story
Your love breaks down tonight
He's not with you
Can't really say you're sorry
Imagine how this became your life
The stars burn
Still you are wide awakened
You move through the dark inside
He's not with you
Can't say you're not mistaken
Illusion is how you will survive
When you desperately have to go away
When the sun won't catch your face
Even on the brightest day
To see what shines
Takes so much time
You're looking away
At a memory
But this time
You will see what shines
The darkness
Isn't so everlasting
And pain can cover up what's right
He's not with you
Never did feel like lasting
Impossible now can be in sight

Fascinating Rhythm

Every night
I realize
That I’d better just listen
To you
When the songs play
I won’t sing
Wait until
The last verses are thru
In the darkness
I’ll raise my eyes
Like I’m looking for
The sound that saves the world
Every day
I string along
Hoping nothing changes
Here with you
When the canvas
Hasn’t dried
Red and green and yellow
Turn to blue

When you look at the time
It’s not moving
When you check it again
Is it standing still
You’re stuck here
Waiting for something to change
But dead ends still lad you to a place
What you say all the time
Might not be right
Going over your words
Are they making sense
You’re stuck here
Waiting for something to change
But nonsense still might be meaningful
They say each thought
You have is wrong
You can’t be held
So accountable
Where you’re looking to go
Can’t get there quickly
For the journey to end
You must enjoy the way
You’re stuck here
Waiting for something to change
But always first steps will lead you there

Sit Around the Fables
03:09
|
|||
|
We all have
Disappointments in life
Chased around the table
With a carving knife
There’ve been times
When situations arose
Dance around the ring
Till we strike a pose
In the end are we just ashes
That leave a mound
If we spin too fast
Then we all fall down
There are times
Certain hours are struck
The gavel hits the hickory
As you’re in the dock
We all smile
When we’re hearing a tune
Stroking on our fiddle
As we jump the moon
Though we laugh like little dogs
It’s much too soon
We can fill our plates
But we have no spoon
You may have to pay a price
To clear up all your crimes
Not just sitting in a circle
Reading nursery rhymes
It’s hard to see
When we run we are blind
Eat up all the cheese
Throw away the rind
When we see
How the hands run up the clock
Then we scurry round
In a state of shock

Guidelines
04:03
|
|||
|
The meaning’s clear
In between lines
Let’s stay apart
For a while
We’ll take care
To keep it slow
Projecting an honest view
Asking yourself if it seems appropriate
Changing conditions are getting you
Running around feeling like a hypocrite
What’s the use?
We’ll have some fun
In the meantime
Even though we’re apart
You make me smile
We’ll seek out
An interim
What else are we gonna do
