My submission for the 2021 Write A Record Challenge.

Wrong Amazon by Kyle Martin

All is quiet
Then there is a spark
There are animals
Running through the dark

There are flames
That seem to never stop
And the canopy's invisible
From all the smoke ontop

And it ruined all our plans
We had to stay indoors
But there is no escape for the world
If we don't change our course

And who will breath the air
When all the trees are gone?
Why do they not notice
Or act like something's wrong

The wrong Amazon's on fire
Look at me and tell me I'm a liar
We live the wrong way of life
And we don't get to do it twice

The ocean is becoming
A smaller place
There's a net in every
Sea these days

There's plastic
Piling up to the brim
And what's the use of a shark
That cannot swim?

The numbers are getting smaller
Without much of a fuss
But if they knew what we were doing
They would start hunting us

The wrong Amazon's on fire
Look at me and tell me I'm a liar
We live the wrong way of life
And we don't get to do it twice

Time To Pretend (MGMT cover)[Unfinished]

Track 1 of my 2020 WAR Challenge.

Lyrics:
Who would have sent you
Just to make sure I'm alright
Who would have ran it up the flagpole
Just to see who is saluting in the night

I already told you
I don't need no other friends
Who would have sent you out into the dark
To where my grave should be to make amends

Well you go back and tell them
After all is said and done
I never want to hear from them again

Either Way
Thanks for dropping in

I've already gotten
All the letters I will read today
I appreciate you writing
But I swear to God that everything's okay

Well maybe not always
I'm hesitant to drop a line
But I'm getting a lot better
For asking for your help when I'm not fine

So I'll return to sender
Save yourself a stamp
Just wait for the next time that I come by

Either Way
Thanks for saying "Hi."

Either Way

Searching for Superman - Kyle Martin

Lyrics:

If you know who you are
And you do what you say
How can anything go wrong
Just you be on your way

When the black meets the white
And the truth hurts just right
For you to realize that it's there
And take it into care
As you plan out the next steps in your life

And she's searching for a Superman
Halfway 'round the world
And she left in November
Left without a word
And I can take care of myself
Until she returns

If your heart pumps out venom
When you expected gold
It's not too hard to tell anymore
It's your own life you've sold

And if you lived it in vain
And you think about it
Every hour of the day
And the message on the wall
It's got one last thing to say
Before you finally let it fade away

And she's searching for a Superman
Halfway 'round the world
And she left in November
Left without a word
And I can take care of myself
Until she returns

If you hate who you are
And the thing that you say
It's never too late
Never too late
To turn around and go the other way

I told her I can be your Superman
But I wasn't enough
To change her, and make her
Realize just what she'd done
And I can take care of myself

While she's searching for a Superman
Halfway 'round the world
And she left in November
Left without a word
And I can take care of myself
I can take care of myself
I can hold onto myself
Until she returns

Searching For Superman

Wake Up Call - Kyle Martin

Lyrics:

This is an alarm
This is your wake up call
You scheduled last night
To make sure you wouldn't fall

Through on your plans
Through on your life
Through on your friends
You've slept all night and now

It's time for your wake up call
This is your wake up call
And Mr. Sun is poking his head out again
Do your best to get out of bed

I know your attention
Can be awfully short but your
Unconscious retention
Makes this that much harder to sort

Sort out a time
Sort out a place
Sort out a reason 
To get up off your face

And now it's time for your wake up call
This is your wake up call
And Mr. Moon is up in the sky again
Try your best to go back to bed

This is your wake up call
This is your wake up call
And Mr. Sun is up in the sky again
And Mr. Moon will come around the bend
And until everyone is asleep again 
This is your wake up call
