I don't wanna talk about it
if it's not gonna change.
Anyway, I don't really know
what I'm trying to say.
I know you're trying--
maybe try a little harder.
We'll work it out.
I'll just keep on singing,
and I know that you're listening and understand
that men go dark
if you don't shine your light
all warm and soft.
Our love's what we make of it.

I know you love me,
so why are you always trying to get me to change?
There you are so high above me.
Maybe I should just let you reign?

Our love's what we make of it.

What we make of it

We made a life together
through rain and stormy weather.
And somehow you found me
and somehow I found you--
a wish we never knew to make.

Let's mend our dreams together
like papier-mâché but better.
But some pieces are missing
found deep within me--
a darkness I know to never share.

We made a life together
like Wesley and Buttercup.
When some infatuation
turns as you be wishin'
we'll leave this ole' place and move out west.

I'll love, forever, you

Life Together

It's been a long time since I remembered to tell you
that you were the best thing ever to happen to me.

I know how you must feel sometimes.
Feel like I don't know you--
feel like I don't care.
I know you feel alone sometimes.
Feel like I don't see you--
feel like I don't say:

(You were the best thing)
ever to happen to me.

Life began when I came to see
how much that you meant to me.

Ever to Happen

I knew a man, his name was Simon,
and he was living on an island.
He went out and saw a ghost,
and not just one but a bunch.
Fear was in his eyes.
He passed away from surprise.
How many ghosts?
One ghost, two ghost, three ghost ... thirteen ghosts.
I knew a girl she was expecting.
And had her mind on defecting.
She went out and saw a ghost.
In fact, she saw a bunch of ghosts.
Fear was in her eyes.
She passed-out from surprise.
How many ghosts?
One ghost, two ghost, three ghost ... thirteen ghosts.
I've never seen a finer specimen
of supernatural.
Go tell your dad. Tell your sister.
There's an army out consisting of the dead.
Fear was in my eyes.
Fear grows in the eyes.

Ghost Story

Your Love will Prevail
You know I want to believe in you
but can't deny a little doubt.
I read your words and speak to you
and know your love will prevail in me.

Your love will prevail.

I want to your love in my life.
Soften my heart and help me grow.
It's you Lord. It's you I want.

Your love will prevail.

Your Love Will Prevail

Amazing Day (What goes on mix)

One morning I was alone--I called my pretty baby right on the phone and said "Hey! I live my life alone."
Every night out on the town I told my baby why I had a frown--
I said "Hey! A baby weighs like a stone".

Love is Everything

I spent half my life in the Strawberry Fields, livin' with the walrus and the fool on the hill.
I climbed your tree and fixed myself a drink then read the news to old flattop who sang:

It's all been done.

Barra Zona Rosa became my home. I drank the water with the Czar back in Rome.
I heard Ramona say the powerman says: there's too many places and just so many days.

It's all been done.

Still we can provide the love in such a way to make it young.
Still we can gain in love in all we do to make it new.

Then I found myself down in A-L-A trying to say there's a life inside of a man
that can be lived with the love that God has commanded. Everyone say:

It's all been done.

It's All Been Done

A little wandering piece I wrote for my daughter.

Dandelion

Saw you in a vision
dressed in black on the side of the road.
Got me started thinking
about the choices that I've made-
some right, some wrong.

At your age the change
is moving faster
and more than I could tell.
But there's no other way-
keep moving, a far away place.
Free.

Son, oh son, faithful son, 
you are loved.

Nothing's gonna change it
nothing fixes it.
Just keep moving.
So we are. So divine.
Son, oh son, faithful son, 
you are loved.

Can't Stop It (Acoustic)

My baby says there's one reason for everything that you can't explain. And like a rocket ship, you can't abandon it 'til you're lost in space. 

And then I sing: ooooooh.

My baby says be unreasonable then she asks me why I break down. The only answer is when I was just a kid they gave me something that made me space out.

Sly like the fox who stole my bed and dreamed the revolution was almost dead.


We build our fortresses and when we lose them a weird enemy shakes our hand. My baby says you had your loneliness, now come outside and lose your last stand.

And then I sing: ooooooh.

The Revolution

The One Eyed Jack just waits his turn--
he's in the room with you, my dear.
And I'm fighting back,
but my soul is torn,
and this brew is so divine.

Oh I don't know anymore
just what we're fighting for--
do you?

And though you know just what you'd do,
in this world you hide half your face. Ha!

Oh I don't know anymore
what side we're fighting for--
do you?

Ten times a day we print the evidence
and the CDC throws it into the fire.
Force vaccinate. You'll pump the chemicals.
Some kids will live and some will die. Ha!

One Eyed Jack Acoustic

In the bedroom you light your fire and you watch the world to see it burn around you. If you mention the men who died, you find yourself the saint who has survived them. Don't let the needle take your life, search for life outside. Don't let faces leave you high, search for life and shine. A solution. There's a solution. 

Performed by The Hit Machine (Grant Salterelli -guitar, Dre Perish -guitar, Adam Shah -Bass, Hayter -guitar and vocals)

Recorded at Woodwork Studios North Hollywood, CA.

Solution

Thx for being so great SC people. Hope I've been just as good of an audience for your music.
Saving the world one song at a time. Soundclouder for life. It's all about making a connection with a few people and having that be enough, and I'm amazed by what a beautiful place this is every time. It's getting rare that I actually seek out signed bands to listen to, due to the fact that what's on here is so much more soulful and creative. Thanks for listening and thanks for your music.
