Voyager 2

Everyone Is Wasted Here

JEANS V3

I met the angel of death at a stop light flashing
while driving alone through the kingdom of ashes
i rolled down my window and he asked for a ride
said he's a schedule to keep and he's fallen behind

he wore a backpack and khakis, hoodie and cap
wore a old set of converse, not what i'd expect
he seemed to be troubled, as he sat next to me
he rolled down the window and cried HELP

Can anybody HELP

he showed me places long vacant, through swamp and the fog
occupied by the shadows, of forgotten gods
he lifted barbed wire parcels through a quicksand sky
the flames gently waved as we passed by

he showed me places of darkness, where time has no meaning
where the stars have gone out and no heart is beating
this is sport for the crows, and i'm the last one to leave
this job can get lonely, baby HELP

HELP V2

suffocating in the colors
full sail without a rudder
and i'm lookin back
i needed the rush
i needed to touch
and i lost track

I have failed before
and i will fail again
i spent my soul playing catch up with the wind
i tell ya even god, don't know of all my sins
every time i die, yeah, i am born again

in the mornings in the forest
where gods show their purpose
and come alive
where light through the trees
ignites all their leaves
there is no time

in my head
i try to leave
i mark out the path
will i find peace
if i let go
but i wait around

i crashed before the finish line
and it seems that i've been left behind
but when i look to the left and right
the bleachers seatless, everyone is on their feet tonight

AGAIN V2

oh babe, we been trying so hard
but we aint gonna change
old love got us pretty damn far
and i'm the one who let it fade
you gave my everything but, people come and people go
and while the world was giving me silver babe  
you gave me gold

old love, has a quiet glow
like green moss, under melting snow
there's a new wind, on a new road
it's beautiful day, love, and it's time to go
there were two hears in a twin bed
wrapped in a quild with a couple loose threads
i was given a gift but the time timing aint right
you hold to your candle while i'm dimming the lights

it seems like i'm just wasting light
or is the weight of your love holding me under
never seemed a waste of time with you
it seems like i'm just wasting light
you gave more than enough, but i start to wonder
never seemed a waste of time with you, yeah  

maybe i'm just scared to be alone

Slowburn B5 Final Mastered

Our love pours down from the bleachers baby
It always was your own choice to be out on the field
Them boys got fear in their hearts now baby
All because of you
Fourth down is the start of your day

4th quarter mary, it's time to spread your wings
The world's spinnin on behind you, now get that crowd up on their feet
4th quarter mary, show em all bout where you're from
A queen is rising, show this old town how to love

The sun and the moon surround you baby
Will you take us, to a place that the world's never seen
Never fold in the face of the darkness, baby
Will you save us? Know that we'll always believe in ya
And your mother, too

This town needs a hero, baby
Someone to wash their sins
This game is almost over, be their light till day begins
And if you stall or fumble
We'll always be right here
Love pouring from the bleachers, baby
Sing hail mary have no fear

Hail Mary

my pop tart was waiting
its frosting facing me
never cared much for the edges
but it was soon a part of me
as i ate it i wondered
what this pop tart means to me
oh universe of wonder
in you i still believe

do you wanna get high?
was late to work
toothpaste dripping down my shirt
do you wanna get higher?
wont you please
ignore the grass stains on my knees
locked outta my home
forgot again to charge my phone
i was born a mess, oh this i know
but i tell you i got soul

my deskspace was littered in thoughtful offerings
was i dead in purgatory, was i awaiting angel wings?
as i examined the keepsakes that the workers thought to bring
i gazed upon the cubeland, was i free of suffering?

was late to work
missing pieces of my shirt
wont you please
ignore the holes from which i bleed
don't got a home
last i checked, it was all but blown
i was born a mess but this is know
i'll tell you i got soul

POPTART

i caught your soul as it was falling
half way down from where lept
like an ember you were still breathing
but this aint the time for a lonely soul to rest

you will know joy
you will know grief
you come to understand the many pages in between
you will find love
you will learn hate
you will crumble in the moments just before you find the strength

i caught your soul as you were drowing
as the ocean gently pulled you to her depths
i watched you learn to own your grieving 
i tried to take your fear but you had left

you will know warmth
you will know pain
you'll come to learn that sunshine is moot without the rain
you will know strength
you will know fear
you'll come to learn the face of god is right inside the mirror

i caught your soul as you were greiving
for a world in which you surely tried your best
to be alive is to be feeling
so take my hand and rest your weary head

i brought your soul into the sunshine
of white cap clouds and blue green ocean sky
it seems the world has long forgotten kindness
it seems the world has left you far behind

You will know shame
but you will find peace
a shrouded moon still glows on through; a light through the leaves
you will learn to build
when things fall apart
you'll come to understand that even death has a heart

Death Has a Heart

How Many Licks To The Center Of The Universe

V1
time after time, i’ve been sucked into the past
where a memory cased in amber
came into focus
like the first notes of hymn
singing through an open door
follow the ember glowing

PRECHORUS
deep in the forest, or we’ll take our chance
and rip the quilt right from the land
patchwork bound by twisting thread
come on, come on, we’ll place our headstones
into rows for our friends to follow

CHORUS
seems i found a reason, cause i’m searching for higher ground
have i patched the bleeding, there’s a ghost in my house
i don’t why, but it feels good, ancient language understood
we could all use a second chance,
think we look to the roots for the last good man in hollywood
 
V2
when does the need
of love deform the mind
seems there’s a ghost in every story
i’ll take a chance
and give love in every breath
the skin of silent winter sleeping
Stir the husks of ashes breathing
When glowing embers grow the seedling

V3
maybe grief is both endurable and sweet
and with your love it might be easy
awake at night, while i’m searching for peace
i know i have your love to lean on
i know i have your love to lean on

Last Good Man In Hollywood III

deep in a forest im lost
thought i was taking a walk
soon i'll be covered in moss
i've always been fading
i've been counting the days
i've been starting to change
i've been lookin for shade
i've always been fading

we're born, we live, we die
and all is suffering
we laugh, we grieve, we cry
we're all just in between
all we must do is try
we've all been born with wings
until we give our souls to the blue and green

the moon drips over my head
such an effort is death
the leaves fall over my chest
i've always been waiting
trade my money for time
such an effort is life
think im finding my stride
i've always been waiting

death came like a warm blanket
as i sunk into a bath
and a gently bubbling cosmos
where the present fades to past
i thought that i was sleeping
under canopy of night
the stars deceive their brilliance
as tiny points of light

we're born, we live, we die
and all is suffering
we laugh, we grieve, we cry
we're all just in between
all we must do is try
we've all been born with wings
until we give our souls to the blue and green
