Waiting for the Mourning Sounds
As the world keeps spinning round
I try to open up my eyes
To my surprise they’re already open
Yesterday was turned around
Tomorrow will be upside down
But I’m alive for the very first time
So I don’t mind wasting a little time
All My life I’ve waited for
Evidence of something more
And it flashed right before my eyes
To my surprise it was already over

Awake

We were waiting for the mourning sounds
But when they finally came there was no one else around
Forget your past you have no future now
Cultivate this moment of your life
I really didn’t expect it to go quite this way
But here we are so I’ll just keep kicking for a while
Who knows where we’ll end up we can’t be certain
All I can tell you is we’re lost at Sea
Wait where are going
Wait where am I now
Where am I now what happened to me
How did I get here
Where did everyone go please tell me
I’ve got to know
Waking in the Mourning Sounds
When no one else is around
I’m just drifting inside inner space
While my body listlessly floats all over the place

Amazing grace lives disgraced as long as you’ve got the means
Just like all the others we can see your color bleeding out your mask at the seems
Riots in the streets virus at our feet and the whole world’s gonna burn
Doesn’t really matter if the pigs are getting fatter and there still are profits to earn
We were sold on a dream that couldn’t break reality
They said it would be better this time around
But now here we are and we can’t escape from the scars
Despite our broken faces we’ll still win the race in the end
And it’s starting to fray
Isolated devastated wayward wonders led a stray
Set adrift as time moves swift and humanity starts to decay
Quarantine turning green as the knee comes down on our necks
They say I can’t breath through these things and all we want is respect
Tighten up while you still can or we’ll never get back to land
Before they will smash and kick your can down the road.
Well they say it’s part of the game running around shifting the blame
But will you still remember their name next time around
Because we know who we are and we’ll never be stars
If we don’t see just how far we can go
I said tighten up while you still can or we’ll never get back to land
And they will smash and kick you can down the road
But they’re starting to fade

Lonely Child

I’m just a feather blowing in the wind
Must be the weather that’s got me in the shape I’m in
‘Cause I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know who I am
But I feel that breeze a blowing me
Back to where it all began
Hanging on by the skin of my teeth
Try not to rush with all the people I meet
Doing my best to stand on my own two feet
Because the weight of the day
When you pushed me away
Has weathered with time
And lost all its gravity
Feeling the pressure of changing winds
I don’t know where I’m going
So I’ll float on a little while
Lost and searching for my own
As a lonely child

Sitting on the bottom of the ocean
Staring out into the blue
I can still heard the last thing you said to me
Echoing through the open sea
A thousand Years of Silence
Living day by day
The cost of love was violence
And I have nothing left to pay
All I did was stand up
For what I thought was right but I’m not sure
Forever hanging on the words to say
Until I quietly drift away
We walk in shadows of giants
Living day by day
But we sucked all the air out of the room
And now there’s nothing left to say

Escaping the Foam

Surfing between Endless waves of dreams
Listen as she sings Of summer time
Join me in the water (I really wanna) It can’t get much hotter (but it’s gonna)
Follow the song of sirens Out to Sea
Drifting around on the surface of the sea
Don’t know where I’ll float next rip currents carry me
Wading in and out until the water gets to deep
Feeling the flow of the undertow singing me to sleep
Caught in the glow (it really sparkles) Of a cone jelly bloom (their all around now)
Illuminating the foam Just beyond the gloam
Stars shining above (don’t let it blind you) As I sink below (I’ve got to find you)
I think you already know That we’re not alone
The pressure of the ocean has got me feeling down
Tired of the currents dragging me around
Swept up to the surface of the water again
Maybe this time I’ll finally try to swim
I can hear the world
calling me in so I’ll swim
back to land again
I was lost in a haze
now I’m riding my waves back home
Escaping the foam

Sometimes you feel like
Your stuck treading water
Like everything in life is trying to grab you
And pull you down (oh no! We’re gonna drown)
Maybe take a deep breath go outside
Open up your eyes and see what the world has to offer
Maybe walk down the street find someone you can meet
To talk to until like don’t suck quite so bad anymore (you know what I’m saying)
(I think you do)
So I have but one question: What do you want to do What do
You wanna do we’re just wading through
We always ask for better weather
We’re just getting by as we slip and slide
Down the street to our own beat and the skip of our feet
Well life rolls in with a crash and a blow
Storms will come and they will go
When the undertoad has got you down
We’ll turn that frown around
Well I’m not trying to tell you how to live
But maybe we’ve got a few points to give
And it starts with going outside and opening up your eyes

When I'm not with you
I feel surrounded
By Desert and I just want a drink
Of water
Water flowing
Down you
I think I can taste your soul
So come on and let me know
Will you walk with me
Side by side neither will lead
And somehow we'll find ourselves
A brand new
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
I don't want to cause no trouble Or be a hassle but I just don't understand
Why I give and I give But they take it all away
Living's hard and Dying is easy I just need a second it's not going to
Take all Day So just let me say
You're so perfect You know that it's true
You're just so perfect In every single way So let's play in the rain!
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
Watching sunsets and sunrises Riding on bikes and chasing butterflies is
What energizes
Running around in the pouring rain laughing so hard we forget our own name
And whose to blame?
You're so perfect Hey I'm Looking at you
You're just so perfect Love So let's play in the rain!
Do do do do do do do do do
Ah Ah
Do do do do do do do do do
Ah Ah
You're just so perfect is it some sort of a plan man because
How is it possible you could be so so so perfect

I can see the sun setting in your azure eyes
The world keeps spinning by
Take me back to the ocean so I can feel the breeze
The wind of change is calling me
Because we’re dancing on the edge of a precipice with great precision
But we’re never going to fly if we don’t make a decision
We could follow the footsteps laid out in a straight line
But I’m afraid at the end there’s nothing left to find
Let’s just build a boat and cast of set adrift for a while
I feel the wind on my skin and I can see the rising tides
And I don’t understand why we’re living this way
If there’s only one life then why should I give it away
Step by step mile by mile and day by day
You can plan for tomorrow but you gotta gotta live for today
