Already Gone

|
Verse 1
Already gone summer flies and white paper
Heat from the sidewalk, black tar, steaming pavement
Made up your mind, need to leave this behind
I’ll see you someday
Until then you’ll be all right
Verse 2
The road you designed was the life you relied on
A world you won't find, until you see through new eyes
Smear on the page, ink and lines, reservation
You are departing
Don't really know

Architect

|

|
Verse 1
Cover her eyes swiftly
She could not consume
The architect
And his point in all of that
Forcing shadows, and strolling through
the fire in the lawn
the photograph
that hangs above her head
Chorus:
Got a way to go
With all my old life
Found letters
Grown old
Piece of wrong
I hide
Verse 2
Got a friend in pieces
She’s from a humble home
All her thoughts are prone
To falling over
Call on someone braver
To shore up the flood
To relieve the blood
Of where she comes from

Say You Are
03:51
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Say you are
The coldest son of a bastard in this town
You are driving steel
And you’re drunk at the wheel
You’re running all your friends into the ground
Summer’s come
Your grain fields are all dust
And seeds dried up
So you drive to the next town
Burn their silos down
Slaughter all their cattle
And reduce to rust
Chorus:
Your house
Is such a lonely place
You’ve been called out
The whole city stands at your gate
They scream so loud
You’re forced to draw your weapon
Make a stand when questioned
See the mess you made
Pitch forks and burning stakes
Verse 2
Winter falls
The cold ice in the morning may never thaw
Still you’re lying all over town
Spreading rumors all around
That the more they give you
The more they’ll eventually have
Come what may
The evening is black
And your fire reduced to gray
Yet something in your mind
Is hoping that you’ll find
The real that’s in you
The man that got away

Uninventing Things
04:29
|
|||
|
Verse 1
In front of me
Is a row of far off balconies
Couples scattered
Children screaming, birds to wing
A crack in the concrete
Speeding, searing fragments
Gloomy glass towers
An oasis going to sink
Show them the pieces
Kings in their castles
Pour their waste into the alleys
Over shards of bright color
Chorus 1
Some and somewhere forgotten
Forever, seasons have come
The midnight calls for the daylight
And all that splinters through time
Verse 2
Hell in mind and bated
Swinging hammers at the rafters
Lifting arms to the shadows
Singing old fashioned songs
One mind for the shaping
Our need for trends displacing
The refuge of our invention
The frame we built so strong
Your symbols subverting
All the pain of the wreckage
Saline waves they come stinging
Berth the ship before the voyage
END
A searing frustration
Loud, the roar that surrounds you
All the raids burning riots
Uninventing things
Sing out errant nation
We dissemble the decent
How the main stage is muted
Uninventing things

Loud As Hope
03:01
|
|||
|
Verse 1
The gray at night walking on the side
Lit by car light
Roadside wanderers
Nightly celebrate
Through the wind and rain
In the trash and waves
And the soil, flowing down
Chorus
Lespwa fe viv (hope gives life) creole proverb
(translation)
The children of a country are the hope of tomorrow
Like a little tree, we have to help them grow
Yes the children can, lets give them help
If we give them help, then tomorrow, we can
They need a lot of care and a lot of guidance
If we neglect them, tomorrow we can regret
Verse 2
Spattered canopies
Blows the dampened breeze
Fractured families see their desire
Unhindered laughter
Gathered rock and stone
Broken hearts and bones
And the hope that forges resilience
In your children’s minds
Chorus End
Small arms dash out through the flood
Sudden catastrophe at once
Singing calamity
A father cries out for his son
The children sing out loud
Dignified they must
Cycle of poverty

Girl In The Wall
04:41
|
|||
|
Girl in the wall, a listening gaze
Across the hall was where they laid her under
A crack in the floor, a broken pane
A blaze that suffocates, proclaims all over
Take the love, ground from her
Chorus 1:
Photo a frozen moment of living
Postcard, describe her eyes what she’s feeling
Film camera, a frame of her breathing
Passport, a written story of leaving
Verse 2:
Girl in the wall, we know her name
Song, she sings each phrase is change, love, laughter
Night, cool, the air begins to fade
Brush of child’s embrace as she watches over
Give the love, ground, to her

Somewhere
03:58

|
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
And somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
If they fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can’t i
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me
Wake up
Where the clouds are far behind you
