Touch, A Movement

Old trains, new trains come wailing down the track while old dogs howl at the moon and the trains. Something oddly comforting about such neighborhood sounds.

No More Than This

So tired of all your games
Being treated with disdain
A selfish heart turns black
Tears will flow when you look back

What seems important now will fade
Can you live with the choice you made?

Please take me away!
I don't know who I am anymore!
Who am I now!?
Who am I now!?
It's been so long!
Can't turn back now!

As the water reflects our face
So the heart is weighed by grace

What seems important now will fade
Can you live with the choice you made?

Greater love no more than this, 
To lay your life down for a friend

No More Than This (Hobocop & Cosmic Keanu)

Polestar

It looks so good from far away
but when you’re up close you can smell the decay
The skyscrapers stand tall and proud 
but down below there’s a beaten crowd

But you can’t smell the stench the stench that hovers around you
you can’t smell the stench cause you’re living in an ivory tower
and the con men stalk their human prey 
as the junkies shoot their problems away
cause it’s just another sunny day in the bright shiny city

A testament to the progress of man
total domination of the land
concrete and asphalt spread like a disease
obliterating plants, animals and trees

But you can’t smell the stench
the stench that hovers around you
you can’t smell the stench 
cause you’re living in an ivory tower

We built a shining city up on a hill
But we caught a bug and now we're ill
and the only cure is a bitter pill
They say it takes a village but the corporations steal
Smells like we got the wrong end of the deal

But you can’t smell the stench the stench that hovers around you
you can’t smell the stench cause you’re living in an ivory tower

We build our walls to hide behind
We install our locks and close our minds
Anarchy and chaos throughout the land
Things are not going according to plan
Forces unleashed beyond our control
We’re falling into a bottomless hole

You can’t smell the stench the stench that hovers around you
you can’t smell the stench cause you’re living in an ivory tower
And the con men stalk their human prey 
as the junkies shoot their problems away
Cause it’s just another sunny day in the bright shiny city
Cause it’s just another sunny day in the bright shiny city

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
