Red Sands

|

|
Darkness hides behind a sea of stars
staring out my window up at mars
dreaming of the red sands
You are everything and nothing at all
Catch myself before I fall into the illusion of your drug
You want to learn how to be still
Darling you never will
The earth is always spinning
Fishing in the stream of consciousness
Singing of all that does exist dreaming of the red sands where I’ll land

Rock and Roll Van

Won’t you come along in my van and be a part of my rock ‘n’ roll band
I don’t really have a plan I just want to be a free loving wanderer.
Come on and kick up your kickstand and let’s bike away from here as fast as we can
I’m tired of sitting around this town and talking to myself when there’s no one around
Singing it’s so beautiful I swear that I could disappear, flip the hourglass maybe come back in a year?
I’ve got a feeling in my gut and it won’t shut up it’s playing loud in my soul and I cannot find a volume control. Come on and humor my delusions cause it can be so confusing
We are living in illusion
I don’t know what we’re winning I don’t know if you’re losing
Singing it’s so beautiful I swear that I could disappear, flip the hourglass maybe come back in a year?
Bridge ride on the back of your bike and rode past the city while it stuck in traffic
We could do whatever we like
Making magic know gods no masters.
Won’t you come along in my van and be a part of my rock ‘n’ roll band

Mini Tour

I struck all of the matches but not the jackpot
I found five dollars in this jacket
I haven’t worn it in so long
I think the last time was the mini tour in Pennsylvania
We burned some weed and Bible pages
We were smoking Psalms
We cut up the carpets
I don’t think we’re welcome in any Holiday Inn’s
And I used to float through the air without a care
And I used to kiss and tell the wishing well
I want to fill my cup
I want to get fucked up and not remember you baby
I find it’s best to have no expectations
It’s just another way I’m trying for self-preservation
I find myself getting lost on a computer screen
I saw your face up on the face and I clicked on it
I went through all your pictures
Went way back, back when I was tagged
And I used to float through the air without a care
And I used to kiss and tell the wishing well
I want to fill my cup I want to contemplate
I want to meditate so I can remember you baby.
And I used to float through the air without a care
And I used to kiss and tell the wishing well
And I wrote in the air I’ll see you there
And when I blinked I fell I wish you well
I want to fill my cup
I want to get fucked up
I want to contemplate
I want to meditate

Picture of Yourself
03:42
|

|
You look like a picture of yourself all framed up and on a shelf
The shutter snapped and froze the time I wonder what was on your mind?
I can’t remember who you were or what you meant to me and will we ever be again?
Will we ever be again?
And you are just like a star I don’t know how close or far away you are I’m still seeing the aftermath of your explosion light years away from the present day.
I’m looking at you through a lens remembering when we were friends and will we ever be again?
Will we ever be again?

Thirsty Willow

|

Sending one at a time
I can’t get the bold off, is that a problem?
Burn a little bit slower babe
You couldn't burn any brighter your hot babe
And you turn to ash
Disintegrate in my hands when I’m trying to love you
There’s a thirsty willow at the bottom of the hill
Drinking all of the rain
Singing songs next to a busy highway
Drinking all of the rain
We are tigers face to face oh and I wanna kiss you
But I was nervous and playing with the grass
Afraid to ask
So we talked about our friends that have passed
And we cried about our friends that have passed
There’s a thirsty willow at the bottom of the hill
drinking all of the rain
singing songs next to a busy highway
drinking all of the rain
Burn a little bit slower babe

Desert Stars
04:37
|
|||
|
You write the sunset into the script
And it rises where nobody knows
You sail the ships, you shapeshift into rocks that I stub my toes
And I cried for the whole world today
A little for me and a little for you
Mostly I cried for all the things we will never get to go through
Carried away, and I’m taking you with me
To look at desert stars
You say that you’re busy
Don't know who you are
I’m disappearing into our time
I’m dissolving into the calm
You hold me like I’m a guitar
We sing songs when we drive in the car
And I sang for the whole world today
A little for me and a little for you
Mostly I sang for all the things we are yet to go through
You come with me
We will get carried away
To look at desert stars
You say that you’re busy
Don't know who you are
