Lyrics
As you walk to the window there’s people passing by
wonder if they’re feeling what your feeling deep inside
There’s something missing I feel like you should know
I had a good friend tell me,  many years ago

You got to move to know what it’s all about
It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.

just a matter of time before it comes your way
not always easy when, just another crowded day
Things start to happen It all falls into place
Now you're on your path to living your life filled with grace.

It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.
It’s just a matter of time feels like a dopamine rush

Dopamine Rush

My husband has been playing this bass riff since before we started dating many, many years ago and we finally did something with it and hope you like it, be warned, we went heavy on this one!
Here's what its about: If your not a believer, you go to the River (Jesus) to save you from eternal death to wash away your guilty sins that put Him up on the cross where our sin debt was paid.  Go to Him, for His mercy endure forever.. From then out trust in His goodness to save you and not in your own goodness.  We can't save ourselves. For the Believer, there's a lot of "stuff" out there in the world that ends up sticking to us everyday, even when we're walking with the Lord. We go to Jesus(the River) daily to get the filth off.
Here's River:
Chorus
Living Water cleansing those who drink
Let's go down to the River taste and see
Verse 1
Trudging through this dirty wasteland
Deep corruption so tainted we wade
Daily through the sludge we look to our Savior
Lead us to Your flood wash us away
Tag
Are you hurting? Are you thirsty? Would you like to know The Way?
Pre Chorus
Follow me to the River of Life Lay your burdens at the shore
Repeat Chorus
Verse2
A traveling man in need of salvation blinded by the noxious flame in his eyes
Just a look, a glance, a turn to the Savior led him to this Brook and gave him his sight
Repeat tag x2 Pre Chorus
Bridge
Bring me to the Waters edge wash me in the Blood
Baptize in His Holy Name healing in the flood
Repeat Chorus
*this pix is of the San Marcos River here in Texas 
Guys you need to know we say and sing these thing with much love. We sincerely care about each of you that run across our music and it's our prayer that you will come to Christ in repentance and faith. Know we're praying for you.

Lost My Roots W/ Morten Jeamland

ONLY HERE FOR THE RIDE

Ahh, the dissolute pursuits of the leisured classes. So shallow! So lacking in substance! 

And pursuits scarcely get more trivial than those perpetrated by Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley and Lord Clarence Gatling von Hassle Royce, 9th Earl of Wadstein, or "Royce" as he may be casually hailed assuming you survive your first attempt at such familiarity. 

Hypnopompetus is but one of several nauseatingly diverse projects in which this brace of regal rogues, never content with studio facilities or genre restrictions, have embroiled themselves.

The skill these two flamboyants command at stylistic metamorphosis may be inextricably (and unfortunately) linked to their contentious working relationship, which is why they've become known as "The Prickly Pair". 

Yet there's no denying that the results always leave an inimitable residue -- no matter which of them is left holding the editorial high ground when the blood dries.
