It’s Hard to Live

Call Of The Heart2b(((((((*




It calls me again
to remember what matters.

The Call of the Heart

lyrics for the song, written by Alex Sharp Cole:


I might lose control once in awhile,
but I remember to smile
and I suffer from no denial,

but your criticism seems so small,
it seems like you don't know what matters at all
you don't know why I  
employ these methods of mine,

and if a dream is a bird in a cage
a birthday wish is a twisted gun
hey, it's no fun
to be livin' a life that's a lie, I

never needed to be number one
still I might start a rebellion, Son
or some kind of fight for the feeling inside

and that's why
I might lose control more than once in awhile my friend
but at least I remember to smile
and I remember when I was a child.

There was this story i read
when i was a kid
about a man who woke up with his boots still on in his bed.
He could not remember what he did,

there was mud on his boots
as he opened the news
to find headlines about strange crimes in the night
this witness heard a shadow laugh and sprint
but now the cops got the mad man's boot prints

so..
believe me, it scares the devil out of me too
that my mind might not know things i do
but i hope you don't mind
if i need someone sometimes

heaven knows it's true we mortals
can make immortal mistakes in this life's got no guarantees
at least we have tonight
to be true to what mind's can't define
(that's the blinding white light)

for this, i might lose control more than once in awhile
and i go with a smile
and i suffer from no denial                               

			
		 (****TRANSFORMATION COMPLETE****)


and when the dark towers over the human race
and the last trace of storm cloud departs, fading away
i will stand in the rays of the sun

when the minions of war and Wall Street are converging below
when the fires begin, i will know
that maybe it's time to come home

when the crystal machine at the core of the world
reunites all the boys and the girls in rainbows and sunlight
as their tears become pearls

then I'll walk down the desert street,
stop the first person i meet
and say thank you for being in the world

in tears, i'll tell her
i might lose control once in awhile
but i remember to smile

all i suffer from is no denial, child.

This is a song I wrote and recorded back in my time living on Venice Beach, California. (I was sleeping in my truck and sometimes at the Venice Beach Youth Hostel).  It is the first song of my second album, "Adventures in Pop."

Alex Sharp Cole:  Adventures in Pop - "Venice Flytrap, Part 1"

I’m losing my mind / girl, don’t judge me, I tried to be good / but the daggers are back in my brain, girl / i feel 'em like every day girl / its like these tiny diamond daggers burn the back of my eye lids / I feel so tired / but as much as I try, kids, i can’t sleep at night / so i use the booze to help me turn out the lights

now I’m into the dream and I’m screaming along and I’m writing a song, it was there all along -- but i can’t chase the feeling my life isn't real / God I just wanna feel / 

like I’m losing my ground / I’m out on the town / the booze hound chased me down / and I can’t get away from him this time /  that nose knows I done run a long time

but look at yourself / you think this only happens to somebody else? / Don’t judge me, hysterionic little girl / your pain is nothing compared to mine

as i looked in her eyes i saw that was a lie cause the way the eyes shine show me stories behind them / you dont understand / the dream felt so real / God, I just wanna feel / like I’m into the dream and I’m screaming' along when I’m written' a song so my soul has a mirror / but i can't fight the feeling that nothing is real / God. I just wanna feel / 

alive.


I'm Losing My Mind

Go inside a single beautiful moment and live there forever

"The Disco Song"

take what you want
take what you want
they can say what they want… about me

(song for the innocent!  )

in the city we see many personality types
some see life in shades of gray -- others black and white
but of all the types in Myers-Briggs i hold a grudge
the one i most dislike i like to call the party judge

because you dont fucking know me... at all
and yes, I'd like to find a job, but it's just that
i dont wanna live like all the people who dont live except brief minutes of their lives between their husbands and their wives and jobs then for the briefest instant  as the sun catches their eyes that's when they realize their lives have been for nothing all this time and then they
spend five minutes with me and then diss me call me a hippy like it's my fault that i can't
have their holy office job security
and watch youtube in a cubicle with my fat boss
who laughs at cats that dance with babies who sing in praise of the next generation of Ipad!

yeah, but it's like that!
all they need is a trigger sometimes

it's just like that
all the judges really need is a trigger
some little thing you do or say

it's like that
all George Bush needs is a trigger

it's like that
all the judge, jury & executioner needed was a trigger

take what you want
take what you want
take what you want
take. what. you. want.

"The Disco Song" (live w/ band Chimp Mode

It feels like channeling… sometimes when I sing it’s like different energies come through me. Maybe it’s me, but it sometimes feels really crazy.. like it genuinely comes from somewhere else..Some of this music sounds really different.  It’s all my songwriting and singing  —-some of what I’ve uploaded here comes from my solo prowhich — these are songs I’ve written, performed and produced on my own.. but also some stuff with bands I’ve been in, whom I credit and respect their collaboration. I hope you enjoy some of these songs, or connect with the music in some way. …oh yeah, I feel like SoundCloud is kind of a special place, which makes me feel like it’s ok to share hidden, unreleased or alternative tracks that I’ve never released officially on major commercial platforms… I guess that makes it a bit rough around the edges sometimes in terms of production.. but also more excitement in the unpredictability… dig it!
