"BITTER CONVENTIONS"
(Rucker)

All of this pain troubles my mind, 
I can't relate,
It's not worth my time,
Mama don't preach,
If you're out of line.

The chalk boards will screech,
The fires will flare, 
The floodgates will breach,
The fabrics will tear,
It's not out of reach,
Just don't pull the chair.

I think it's time we make use of our senses,
I think it's time that we better ourselves,
Ain't no use in these bitter conventions my dear.

Because they're killing time,
And it's getting old,
And we are not, 
We are not the conventional mold.

Just a little bit, 
Just a little.

This place is out of control,
I need someone to save me,
And I'm faced with nowhere to go,
But the answers you gave me were irrational,
It took this to let go,
Let's rewrite the books,
Let's move past our egos,
It's time for a change,
We need some new motives,
It's time to refrain,
Is there anyone out there.

I think it's time we make use of our senses,
I think it's time that we better ourselves,
Ain't no use in these bitter conventions my dear.

Because they're killing time,
And it's getting old,
And we are not, 
We are not the conventional mold.

Just a little bit, 
Just a little.

Sad Song REMIX

Wartime Nag

That Will Do

An Unquiet Mind is an honest look at the struggles and soul of Ezekiel Morphis. Acoustic and Americana folk songs that tell stories of hope in the face of trials. 

"...don’t be afraid of the darkness, dive into it. That is a lesson I learned from Ezekiel and that is a lesson you will learn from his music. If nothing else, you will learn that something beautiful, like a song, may come of it."

Vacancy

If you have kids, then you know that it can be a struggle to convince them how perfect you are as a parent. ha! Sometimes you butt heads and it can hurt.  The way I deal with things is to write a song.  This one is a special one I wrote to my daughter.  No matter what, I love my children. Its a snapshot of a time of struggle and renewal. “ Copyright 2006. Words and music by Brian Futch

"REALIZE"
(Rucker/Gonzalez)

Am I carried away,
For asking about all the things you say,
Or is it just better that way,
For these times they have been broke again, again.

Now why would you wanna try me,
I thought this was multiplying,
I'm done with these foolish games,
They're all the same to me.

Now there ain't no use in trying,
Our love in slowly dying,
Now you tell me who's to blame,
It's all the same to me.

Now realize,
I can't take this anymore,
Just realize,
That this moment can't be undone for the hell of it,
And one day we'll be alright,
So realize,
That real eyes, know real lies,
So realize.

I always knew better,
I felt like our lives were changing now,
Cause you brought this weather,
The ice in your veins has shot this down,
We can't be together,
So why even try to work this out,
The past has been broken,
What is done is over,
The future starts right now.

Now why would you wanna try me,
I thought this was multiplying,
I'm done with these foolish games,
They're all the same to me.

Now there ain't no use in trying,
Our love in slowly dying,
Now you tell me who's to blame,
It's all the same to me.

Now realize,
I can't take this anymore,
Just realize,
That this moment can't be undone for the hell of it,
And one day we'll be alright,
So realize,
That real eyes, know real lies,
So realize.

I should have known better,
I shouldn't have let what I allowed,
But you brought this weather.

Now realize,
I can't take this anymore,
Just realize,
That this moment can't be undone for the hell of it,
And one day we'll be alright,
So realize,
That real eyes, know real lies,
So realize.
