330 And Esplanade: Chapter 2 by DJ Elliot DeHoyos

1976

Lyrics

Maybe they're calling to help
You're not taking care of yourself
You know you could always move back home
But that house of people never made you feel more alone

But you crying in the car seat just makes me wanna crash
You know tomorrow, we'll look back on this an laugh

And I wanna know what you're so afraid of
You, you're in this city to stay love
It's calling you to action like a siren to her song
This is why we came here, this is why we belong

I think you shoyuld hang up the phone
Keep your hands on the wheel, they're shaking, your eyes on the road
No sense in worrying yet
This ain't the bottom, and I am not trying to split

But you crying in the bedroom, just makes me wanna die
Say over and over you and me girl, we're fine

And I wanna know what they're so afraid of
We, we're in this city to stay love
It's calling me to action, like a siren to her song
This is why we came here, this is why we belong

And I wanna know what you're so afraid of
We, we're in this city to stay love
It's calling me to action, and I hope you come along
this is why we came here, this is why we belong

Why We Belong

That’s A Start

Alone
Not what I had in mind
I know
I wasn’t very kind
The echo’s fading fast, it says you won’t be coming back again this time

The phone
is ringing by my bed
I won’t
forgive the last thing that you said
Baby I don’t know if I can ever make home to you again

You were screaming and I was drinking and neither one ever got us very far
So let’s patch the pieces and find forgiveness
Somewhere between the body and the heart
We will show up, and baby that’s a start

Sometimes 
I know where I went wrong
Alive
Just content to play along
Slowly losing consciousness, drowning in the darkness and the fog

Goodbye
Was what you never said
Should I
Stick around instead
of letting go all of this, the past and all the promises ahead

You were screaming and I was drinking and neither one ever got us very far
So let’s patch the pieces and find forgiveness
Somewhere between the body and the heart
We will show up, and baby that’s a start

Everything was right, everything was wrong
But I know I was lost until you came along
I refuse to break, I refuse to bend
Until I’m laying in your arms again

You were screaming and I was drinking and neither one ever got us very far
So let’s patch the pieces and find forgiveness
Somewhere between the body and the heart
We will show up, and baby that’s a start

That's A Start

Well. Here it is. Thunderstorm. A song that my family and extended family has encouraged me to get done for over two years now. The journey started in India. Couldn't sleep a wink. The bed was just to hard. The fan above was spinning, but the heat would not dissolve. The song is supple and has taken and will continue to take many shapes and forms, from all out power to concise tranquility.

The next time you see lightning, know I sent that thunderstorm

THUNDERSTORM
Can't sleep a wink 
This bed is just too hard
The fan above keeps spinning
But the heat will not dissolve

The drone of rain is tapping
I loathe it when it pause
thoughts of you start freezing
our love will never thaw

It pleases me to wake up
Its paining me to sleep
The empty space beside my head
Is a pillow laying free

and It hurts me to think of ya
hurting is just the norm
The next time you see lightning
know I sent that thunderstorm 

The cigarettes do nothing 
As I sit out on the porch
The gate is locked but the bugs are in
Sounds just like my heart

The month of October
Has been the loneliest to date
My motivations waning 
and the moon's about to cave

(and) I don't have a picture of you
But you made me little cards
Desire for the better days
And to keep on keeping on
I know you're thinking of me
But I do not know how HARD
Next time you see lightning
Know I sent that thunderstorm 

mmm mmmm

and I know your thinking of me
but i do not know how hard The next time you see lightning
know I sent that thunderstorm

Thunderstorm
