Lullaby For A Fearless Child

Song by Dave Ihmels.  Image by Haley Ihmels
Teary eyed, Teary eyed
Welling up from deep inside
But holding ‘em back is my point of pride
Don’t wanna be teary eyed 

Cumulonimbus low, 
Corpulent, might let it go
To see every drip
Down my windshield flow

Look up! Look away! Breathe in Breathe out
Pinch hard, freeze skin, do anything
Stem the tide crashing in

Look up! Look away! Breathe in breathe out
Pinch hard, freeze skin, Don’t..
Don’t let it begin

I like driving in the fading light
See the silos sealed up tight, 
With all their green fodder
Hidden out of sight

Teary eyed, Teary eyed
Welling up from deep inside
But holding ‘em back is my point of pride
Don’t wanna be teary-eyed

Teary-Eyed

Song By Dave Ihmels.
This song features my Uncle Dave on electric guitar and my cousin, Pearson, on the "fightfightfight" vocal.

Lyrics:
I’m down on my knees sifting through dust
Grind my teeth as my mettle turns to rust
The sky turns black and the sun’s a blood orange
On a wild dog’s back I’m trying to find the courage
My hands are cold and my head is on fire
My bones feel old and my fingers are wires
white like a sheet, frozen in a trance
Got two left feet when I show up to the dance

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
If you feel hopeless...you're not
If you feel helpless you're not

Who’s holdin the cards who dealt this hand
Loaded dice, glass shards from the grains of sand
The clouds are heavy and the trees hang low
There’s a hole in the levee and you know it’s gonna blow
Now the rain comes down and it swallows up the road
And I dream of muddy water when my ears explode
There’s a raven on the roof and an empty rockin chair
Do you need more proof cuz I see it everywhere…
 
If you feel hopeless...you're not
If you feel helpless you're not
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

You're not hopeless...You're not helpless

Someone pushed “go” on the crazy machine
On a raft I roll through the deep ravine
But at the bottom of the mountain where the river is
I take a drink from the fountain underneath all this
Shed my exoskeleton, become pure
Stay flex as gelatin, withstand more
Go one by one by one by one 
Swing both fists til the bell is rung

FIGHT
