Track 5 from Eulogy (2014)

LYRICS:
The motion is magic
worldwide ocean and it's very tragic
A teacher, a creature
Freezin' in the covers and it's time to reach her
I tried to become it
Caught myself snoozin' losin' what could become of it
I wanted to touch her
Hot stove is a bad lover

Well, I want to lay
what I have to say, yeah

Let's try 
Step outside today
It's all past
Nothing has to stay

I GOT DIRTY HANDS AND BLACK ARMS

Your hat's off, a bully
happened so catastrophically
For Mona and Lisa
Sisters in the blisters either one could please ya
The freak show so climactic
I walk on into static
I'm texting a sextant
Wave bye to another life

It's all the same
we just play the game, yeah

Let's try 
Step outside today
It's all past
Nothing has to stay

THEY GOT A WHOLE CELL BLOCK FOR ME

We're holding on, not letting go
We're here to stay
I won't heal without you here
I'm fading away

So I'll fade away
Cause they're black to stay, yeah

Let's try 
Step outside today
It's all past
Nothing has to stay

Let's try 
Step outside today
It's all past
Nothing has to stay

SCRUBBIN OFF ALL THE HATE WITH THESE BLACK ARMS

Black Arms

Track 4 from Eulogy (2014)

LYRICS:
Well you dream about climbing up into the sky
You build your own wings and you learn how to fly
Masterless emotions like the oceans and the tides
wash up on the shore and they still can't take it away.

Well you dream about climbing up into a world
where nobody has to tell the little boys and the girls
to love one another, treat each other as equals.
we all have one maker, and they still can't take it away.

I hear the man cry "seize the day"
Don't you know with time these things will pass a way?

I'm in a big city with lots of lights;
they turn 'em all off and wonder, "why's it so dark outside?"
Hey, I'm a bridge builder; I don't know why
they only love me when there's a whole lotta water nearby

Somebody told me today about a boy that died
They say he went out fighting for the better side
But I guess either way that boy's momma still cried
and in the end, they still can't take it away

Well that man came back in a flag the other day
and somebody asked me if he was fighting for the gays
well I didn't know the answer,
I just bowed my head and prayed

I hear the man cry "seize the day"
Don't you know with time all things will pass away?

I'm in a big city with lots of lights;
they turn 'em all off and wonder, "why's it so dark outside?"
Hey, I'm a bridge builder; I don't know why
they only love me when there's a whole lotta water nearby

I hear the man cry "seize the day"
Cause don't you know with time, these things will pass away

I'm in a big city with lots of lights;
they turn 'em all off and wonder, "why's it so dark outside?"
Hey, I'm a bridge builder; I don't know why
they only love me when there's a whole lotta water nearby
If there's a life giver, just pass him by
It's only worth livin if you got somethin to get high
And all the peace bringers, they pass away
everything around us is the
choices we make each day.

Track 2 From Eulogy (2014)

LYRICS:
Out here in the desert I'm dyin of thirst
waiting for things to come or my heart to burst
while you're standing by the ocean emotional stand still
taking pictures with the camera that you hold in your hand

And I'm sitting here thinking about the waves in the sea
When suddenly I look up and you're there looking at me.

So let's take it slow
we can tell all them little rain clouds to go
you and me girl we can make the most of the night
so let's say it's alright
Cause it's awfully beautiful weather outside

Your hair smells sweet and your body, it sighs
while all the little stars are sparkling way up in the sky
but tonight I sit alone way up in my home on the moon
it's too soon to be missing you

But I'm looking out the window and there's nothing going wrong
I'm listening to this little birdie singing his song

So let's take it slow
we can tell all them little rain clouds to go
you and me girl we can make the most of the night
so let's say it's alright
Cause it's awfully beautiful weather outside

Outside

Track 1 From Eulogy (2014)

LYRICS:
Shameful Shane is my brother from every other neighborhood
Never made the kind of waves that everybody understood
Shameful Shane, he was some kind of naked man bear
anyway you wanna cut it, he was looking everywhere
oh oh oh oh

Shameful Shane wrote a book about the love of a mother mouse
Oooh it was a given didn't know he was a-livin'
In the reptile house

Shameful Shane caught a whistle from eddie headed out of town
Seize the day up in the sky with no one there to hold him down
Shameful Shane, he kissed the luck off everything he did before
Day by day he don't give it up, and never give it anymore.

Shameful Shane wrote a book about the love of a mother mouse
Oooh it was a given didn't know he was a-livin'
In the reptile house

Never break before the stone   
Your peaceful keeper is unknown
I would not be without your pain
I thank the Lord for Shameful Shane, yeah yeah yeah aaaOooh

Shameful Shane wrote a book about the love of a mother mouse
Oooh it was a given didn't know he was a-livin'
In the reptile house
