Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd.

What is the Earth and who are we? These questions are kept from us secretly
What is this life before we die? It's about time we learn the reasons why
Que sera, sera, what will be, will be, so, row your boat gently down the stream
Whether black or white, well, that's alright with me

Where do we go when we're in a dream? Limitless, the realms of possibilty
Where are we from, who is right or wrong? Living in a haze underneath the Sun
Oh, Shalom, Shalom, give me peace on Earth, eradicate the beings to the underworld
Where they will burn, and in return, you'll see...

That you are all that is, on a plane to exist
And when the day is done, you'll go on and on
And I believe in you, your light is the truth
Where the water meets the rain, where the water meets the rain

Who the fuck are you and what do you do? In the midst of time, there's an avalanche
Well, will you fail, or will you fall into the void of one hundred million ancestors' hands?
Que sera, sera, what will be, will be, so, row your boat gently down the stream
Whether black or white, well, that's alright with me

Because you are all that is, on a plane to exist
And when the day is done, you'll go on and on
And I believe in you, your light is the truth
Where the water meets the rain, where the water meets the rain, where the water meets the rain

'Where The Water Meets The Rain' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd.

It's not so long ago, my friend, that I was wandering out to the west, in the hope of finding my soul alive
Even though it's funny, now it seems there's life beyond the smokescreen, in the shadows fools will run and hide

Run and hide because they're scared of their small minds
Now's the time to open up their eyes...

To face the light that I once knew, before my time in another 'you,' dreaming dreams until the sun had died
There's snakes and ladders in my soul where bleeding awful phantoms go, now the afterglow is multiplied

I'm getting high like a shining star of bright
Now's the time to open up their eyes and shake them, this is folklore in the making

'Folklore In The Making' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd.

You are my sunshine, you are my rain
You give me everything to take away my pain
When dark is near, you are my light
I'm happy to be sitting by your side

But, if you ever leave me, the river will flow with the tears that I cry
And, if you ever hurt me, you better get used to the death of you and I

You are my water, you are my wind
You are the reason why that there's a life to live
When you are here, I can't deny
You take me far away to paradise

But, if you ever leave me, the river will flow with the tears that I cry
And, if you ever hurt me, you better get used to the death of you and I

'The Death Of You And I' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd.

I see a fire in the sky, bleeding in the rain
War is good, there's enough money to make
So take me far, beyond the clouds, where dreams aren't estranged
Love is blood if it's good enough to taste

Taste Hamartia, light is darker

The Atom Bomb will blow your mind, religion's all the same
God's in your head if you want somebody to blame
Their wreckless will's on self destruct, they fire, then they aim
Gun evil gun, a killing weapon of hate

Shoot Hamartia, light is darker

It's creepin' up on you like World War Two
It's creepin' up on me like World War Three

With their crude noise machines
Planning World War Three

World War Three, World War Three

'World War III' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd.

I am human, to begin
I am underneath my skin
My body and soul are together, completely

I am cosmic, you will see
We are together, you and me
Our spirits collide in a sandstorm, absolutely

No matter where you ever go, that's what I'm always told
It doesn't matter where you've been, aslong as you follow

I am human too
I am human too
Just like you

I am living my life
I am trying to survive
Somewhere, somehow, everlasting
Somewhere, somehow

I am human, the same as you
There is nothing more to the truth
Somewhere, somewhere, everlasting
Somewhere, somehow

No matter where you ever go, that's what I'm always told
It doesn't matter where you've been, aslong as you follow

I am human too
I am human too
Just like you

'I Am Human' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd.

From the mouth of madness, I heard a voice laughing at me
Through the sound of silence, there is a noise to enslave the free
Then the dead will live to the future's end, blink and you'll miss
The killing fields are nothing but real, it is what it is

I don't care if you don't mind, time is on the other side
All I've ever had is all I've ever been
Take me far way from here, just let me go, I'll disappear
Whatever will be, will be, when love is all you need

Love is all you need, listen to this advice from me
This life is but a dream, don't take it so seriously

Just breathe with me, I'm all I've ever been

'All I've Ever Been' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd (2010)

I'm getting tired of you with your puzzles and clues
You'll never break me, it's true, you must believe me, you'll lose
'Cause it's a hard, hard life, it's a hard, hard life, it's a hard, hard, hard, hard life

I'm a creature of Earth, I walk on water and dirt
I'm breathing music and air, take me somewhere, I don't care
'Cause it's a hard, hard life, it's a hard, hard life, it's a hard, hard, hard, hard life
For you, do you feel it, do you feel it too?

You bring me nothing returned, where's the meaning of 'fair?'
You're a mountain to burn, fight with fire, I've learned
'Cause it's a hard, hard life, it's a hard, hard life, it's a hard, hard, hard, hard life
For you, do you feel it, do you feel it too?

'Hard, Hard Life' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd (2010)

I get up to get down, with my feet on the ground
Two by two, me and you, as we float in our balloon

There's not a lot to say, there's not a lot to do
So, keep on keeping on, your love will shine on through
I've heard it all before, there's nothing left to lose
Disease will find a cure and your love will shine on through in our balloon

Can you see through my eyes? I get low to get high
I'm with you, we're in tune as we smoke away the gloom

There's not a lot to say, there's not a lot to do
So, keep on keeping on, your love will shine on through
I've heard it all before, there's nothing left to lose
Disease will find a cure and your love will shine on through in our balloon


'In Our Balloon' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd (2010)

Oh, I can't seem to get to sleep
I can't dream about memories because I'm nocturnal, an insomniac
When my eyes open, the sky is fading to black

I wish I could turn off my mind
I'm stuck in the mud and I can't fly because I'm nocturnal, an insomniac
When my eyes open, the sky is fading to black

I can't get to sleep

I think it's time to finish the wine, I'll close my eyes and drink till I'm blind
because I'm nocturnal, an insomniac
When my eyes open, the sky is fading to black

I can't get to sleep

'Fading To Black' - James Todd

Music, Lyrics and Production - James Todd (2010)

I don't wanna get too real about the serious things in my head
Although it would be hard to feel, I'm gonna keep it for me instead
The little things you say, the little things you do, it's all a part of you
So, tell me how it goes and what you really know to be true

I can see a twisted wheel, 'cause it's running around my brain
Is it something I can steal? 'Though I'll bring it back again
The little things you say, the little things you do, it's all a part of you
So, tell me how it goes and what you really know to be true

I would die for you, I would fly to you

I can say what's my opinion and it's coming to take you away
You can come with me to oblivion and I'll meet you there today
The little things you say, the little things you do, it's all a part of you
So, tell me how it goes and what you really know to be true

I would die for you, I would fly to you
