>> wind (mp3)
The air is warm
In the eye of the morning storm
The dogs are barking
At the things that will never come
Could change be forgotten
As the time settles in
What have we lost
While the clouds will begin
We look over the sea
And up at the mountain…
We try to remember
The things we forgot
For what they were
And what they’re not
Just what it is
That we’re running from
Why the clouds
Will have to come
The sun is gone
The dove is South
The wind is in your hair
While the fear is out
The fear leads to anger
And lashes out
And we have forgotten
What life is about
We look over the sea
At the face of the mountain
Of hypocrisy
A splash in youth’s fountain
Irresponsibly
While the fire flickers out…
Come with me
Grab some fallen branches
Underneath the tree
Of life’s subtle glances
The refrain of peace
Is easily lost
As the fear of what will be
Is not the true cost…
>> california's child (mp3)
California bounty
Never stood long nor still
While the ambition of growth
Met suburban land fill
Passing over the pavement
90 nose to nose speed
Looking up at the poles
From the backseat of greed
I remember a child
Caught lost in the race
Who forgot how to smile
A segregated embrace
Jet-stream purple pink
Setting suns each warm night
The broken skating rinks
The kid's guns out to fight
The parents who let go
For malls of cash delight
Tattoos of suicidal
And tendencies that might
The broken shards of labor
On the backs of wetted favor
Tastes a Californian flavor
Pays the billionaire's waiver
So the state of being golden
Would never come to wealth
Would never be emboldened
Or be conscious of itself
The land of nature's bounty
Covered in the glut of speed
The children run away
For fear of parent's greed
>> rain (mp3)
(Pouring Rain - C. Dowd, Fishbone)
The sun will shine on brighter
And the wind will always blow
Some think life's a breeze
Others feel love is sin
I've found beauty in dancing stars
To you, your dreams may be a farce
And you think that you can't feel pain?
And you think we can't feel at all
Can you sing out in the pouring rain
Can you sing, can you sing out
He had one foot in the gutter
Another on dry land
His ship had sailed without him
Across life's burning sands
He cried out, in the distance
And no one, no one heard a word
For a prophet's not respected, in his own world
Can you sing out in the pouring rain
Can you sing out, can you sing out
And all the things I've said
And all these things
And all the things I've said
That you doubt and disbelieve
Are shoved back in your face
By the spite of mankind's greed
You chose to close your eyes
And the rest of the world will bleed
You chose to close your eyes
And the rest of the world will bleed
Can you sing out in the pouring rain
Can you sing out, can you sing…
>> sometimes (mp3)
You say what you say
You be what you are
You drive all the way
In your favorite car
Where are we going sometimes?
Where are we going this time?
Sometimes I don’t know
Where we’re going
Sometimes you don’t act like
You know too
Sometimes there’s no answer
When I call your name
Sometimes there’s no future
When we play our games
Where are we going sometimes?
Where are we going this time?
You do know too
You do know too
Always say that you don’t
But you do know too
You say it’s not me
You say that I’m blind
You run away
To whatever you can find
Where are we going sometimes?
You do know too
You do know too
You can say what you like
But you do know too
Sometimes I just don’t know
Where we’re going
You do know too
>> shine (mp3)
The wind is blowing
A whisper or two
It’s gotten too hot
To see the morning dew
The pain of living
In the warmth outside
Refrain from giving
Slowly duck and hide
The ceaseless laughter
Through your heart like a spear
And it seems as if
The broken clouds won’t clear
The cold of the storm
Is slowly drawing near
When the day is born
And the night will disappear
The sun’s still out
While it slowly fades
But you need the light
To feel the shade
So ease your mind
Beating on your head
Come sit under the tree
Feel the shade instead
She said she needs a man
He said he feeds the plan
Getting everything done
While you’re out having fun
But she opened the door
Put her feet on the floor
And she walked away
She just wanted to play
Went out in the sun
Fast as she could run
From underneath the tree
Because she was afraid
Her eyes were heavy
Wanted to be awake
They weren’t real
She didn’t like the shade
The sun’s still out
While it slowly fades
But you need the light
To feel the shade
So ease your mind
Beating on your head
Come sit under the tree
Feel the shade instead
At the end of the game
Your life is still the same
And you feel the pain
While it drives you insane
Fading with the sun
Feel like your on the run
On your painful knees
Looking for that tree
But then you remember
What the sun felt like
Like it was November
Fighting for your life
It feels like a cage
Feels like a broken rage
Like a lump in your stomach
You got to turn the page
The sun’s still out
While it slowly fades
But you need the light
To feel the shade
So ease your mind
Beating on your head
Come sit under the tree
Feel the shade instead |
