Created over the last ten years or so, the 12 songs on "close" represent observations of things that have happened within ordinary daily life during that time as well as larger events on the world stage. They are concerned with where we are as a civilization as well as where we might be headed. For on that road, we end as stone or light.

The Weekend

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

Let the wind roll by
When the mourning's over
Let the land run dry
Till the wreckage under

How the morning breaks
For the dying soldier
After our mistake
Set the ruining order, once again

How the present makes
Time into endless wonder
And the moment takes
Its divided holder

And the promise states
When the waiting's over
All our lonely days
Come back to be discovered, once again

Out of the Western sky
Out on that misty morning
I'll let the rest abide
Out on that windy morning I'll reside

Let the wind roll by
When the mourning's over
Let the land run dry
Till the wreckage under

How the morning breaks
For the dying soldier
After our mistake
Set the ruling order, once again

Out of the Western sky
Out on that misty morning
I'll let the rest abide
Out on that windy morning I'll reside

Out on that windy morning I'll reside
Out on that windy morning I'll reside

Western Skies

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

We stand at the edge of the road
Hold hands and wait for the show
Suzanne is already wasted again
Blue jeans and hot-headed teens
Come with their loaded machines
Dance hard and post till the memories end

I stand alone and watch that fire
Go rattle off in rounds
Don't believe in words
They're laying on the ground
Lost within the herd

Don't ask. You've already seen
Your past is all on the TV screen
Suzanne is suddenly wasting away
New pages, load while you go
Maintain the thought that you already know
Insane is often a meme with a name

I stand alone and watch that fire
Go rattle off in rounds
Don't believe in words
They're laying on the ground
Lost within the herd

Go rattle off your rounds
Don't believe in words
They're laying on the ground
Lost within the herd

Lost within the herd
Lost within the herd

We stand at the edge of the road
Hold hands and wait for the show
Suzanne is already wasted again

Lyrics:

The left, the right
Their wounded eyes are calling
The men decide on who's to rise or fall in
To wage a war or capture more of your things
The red, the white, the blue tonight is falling

And I'll be damned if I'm naïve
And I'll be damned if I don't bleed
I'm not an angel or a thief
But I am
A young American beast

The sun will rise
And bluer skies will fall in
We'll then decide on who's to rise upon it
To wage a war or capture more of your things
The red, the white, the blue tonight is calling

And I'll be damned if I'm naïve
And I'll be damned if I don't bleed
I'm not an angel or a thief
But I am
A young American beast

And I'll be damned if I'm naïve
And I'll be damned if I don't bleed
I'm not an angel or a thief
But I am
A young American beast

Oh I am
A young American beast
Oh I am
A young American beast

Young American Beast

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

I let my hair grow wild
I danced around this burning circle
All the while
Yeah, there's a war outside

I let my face grow long
I danced around this burning cinder
On the lawn
Yet there's a war begun

Said I'm a wanted man
I built a wall of flame
Returning on my way
towards a promised land

Until the break of day
We dance around the same illusions
I don't care if there's a war out there

Because we're all inside
We're in the madness of our mind
Still in the madness of our mind
Oh in the madness of our minds
We spin around in circles, now

I let my face grow long
I danced around this burning circle
On the lawn
Yet there's a war begun

And I'm a wanted man
I built a wall of flame
Returning on my way
towards a promised land

Until the break of day
We dance around the same illusions
I don't care if there's a war out there

Because we're all inside
We're in the madness of our mind
Still in the madness of our mind
Oh in the madness of our minds
We spin around in circles, now

Lyrics:

They waited for the war
To see what life was for
Surprise, surprise

They waded off with it
Lit the desert wind
A pyre of fire

An agent of the moon
Kept the world in tune
Arise, arise

The battle's won within
Revolutions end
Defy, to find

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Do what you want
Say what you like

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Do what you want
Say what you like

The symbol of the wall
Sells a million more
It's a lie, a lie

Their faces on the page
Sentimental rage
Arrive, survive

An agent of the moon
Kept the world in tune
Arise, arise

The battle's won within
Revolutions end
Defy, to find

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Do what you want
Say what you like

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Do what you want
Say what you like

Don't really bother me
Don't really bother me

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me
Don't really bother me

This mindless generation
Don't really bother me

Mindless Generation

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

Lay down your life
Don't fear the reaper
There's other lives to live

Wait on your time
Your eyes will reach her
There in the light
Of arresting peace

So I made a sad song
But it didn't take long
Ran right through my brain
But it didn't change much
When the morning came up
More lives gone in vain

Swallow your pride
Choke on the reefer
There's other mounds to dig

Wait on your time
Your eyes will reach her
There in the light
Of arresting peace

So I made a sad song
But it didn't take long
Ran right through my brain
But it didn't change much
When the morning came up
More lives gone in vain

Sad Song

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

I hit the road last night again
I heard the worst of what you said
I left the world outside your bed
I danced around your heart again

I see the worries on your face
I wear that smile I never waste
I danced around your heart again
I looked around for honest men

I might if I could try
I might if I could try
But this life has past me by
Woah woah oh
Woah woah oh woah
Woah woah oh

After the rest of your days are fading
We're still waiting here

After the rest of your days are fading
We're still waiting here

After the rest of your days are fading
We're still waiting here
Here

I lit the radio up again
I heard a sound
I never went
I looked around for honest men
I danced around your heart again

I might if I could try
I might if I could try
But this life has past me by
Woah woah oh
Woah woah oh woah
Woah woah oh

After the rest of your days are fading
We're still waiting here

After the rest of your days are fading
We're still waiting here

After the rest of your days are fading
We're still waiting here

Oh woah
Oh woah

After the rest of your days are fading
We're still waiting here

After the rest of your days are fading
We're still waiting here

After the Rest

After The Rest

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

Wrong decisions arise
From the sins of the right
Greater distance
And the random acts of God
The führer and the fraud

I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why

Wounded men and their girls
So afraid of the world
Now their faces turn
Upon the bastard earth
A woman and her birth
Alone without a verse

I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why

Free reign? okay
I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why
We feed the flame
I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why
Free reign? okay
I'm stuck in the dark and don't know
How anyone lives in here

I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why
I don't know why Lord
I don't know why
I don't know why Lord

Wrong decisions arise
From the sins of the right
Greater distance
And the random acts of God
The führer and the fraud

I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why

Free reign? okay
I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why
We feed the flame
I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why
Free reign? okay
I'm stuck in the dark and don't know
How anyone lives in here

In here
In here

I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why

I don't know why Lord
I don't know why
I don't know why

I'm stuck in the dark and don't know why

Stuck In The Dark

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

All my life I wanted answers
All my days that I remember
For a weary mind, it's now or never
Conscious and alive, the moments enter

Hear me rhyme
In the wind we roam
Tell the eye
Listen to your heart
And home
On that road we end as stone
Or light

On that very night, I'll know you better
Voices and the light of dying embers
For a weary mind, it's now or never
Conscious and alive, the moments enter

Hear me rhyme
In the wind we roam
Tell the eye
listen to your heart
and home
On that road we end as stone
Or light

On that road we end as stone
Or light

Hear me rhyme
In the wind we roam
Tell the eye
listen to your heart
and home
On that road we end as stone
Or light

On that road we end as stone
Or light

On that road we end as stone
Or light

Embers

Stream/Download: hipbobsha.com/music

Lyrics:

In waves the water flows
So high I lost my head
Tears down the castle walls
All along I'm waiting
For my bed

Burn on the feral sun
So hot, it roasts all day
Bear down, the casket calls
All along they're waiting
For your head

So high I think I'll lose my head
So high I think I'll lose my head
So high I think I'll lose my head

Didn't wish it on the morning
Didn't wish it on a rainbow
Didn't wish it on a caul
For, there's a river on the front deck
There's a mizzen off the mooring
There's a woman on the wrong yard
Beyond the castle walls

Farewell the battle's done
So long it wasted days
Dear love, the water's flowing
So high I think I'll lose my head

So high I think I'll lose my head
So high I think I'll lose my head
So high I think I'll lose my head

Didn't wish it on the morning
Didn't wish it on a rainbow
Didn't wish it on a caul
For, there's a river on the front deck
There's a mizzen off the mooring
There's a woman on the wrong yard
Beyond the castle walls
