Flowers On The Yellow

He's skin and bones;
That's just about all he is.
Disregard the soul underneath.

He feels at home
Alone in a crowded room;
Disregard the tongue in his cheek.

I think he's gonna make it.

I think he's gonna make it out alright.
I think he's gonna make it out alive.
At least, this time.

skin and bones (test demo)

A song I wrote a few years back, about the importance of trying to dwell on the positive when the going gets rough, and a reminder to remind those dearest to you that you love them, often, regardless of the climate. Hope you enjoy.

All parts written and recorded by Logan K. Strong.

"Well, baby doll, we're out of cash, again,
Wondering how we'll feed our babes,
And how we'll pay the rent.
Wondering just how and when 
This money all got spent.
Baby doll, we're out of cash, again.

Well, baby doll, we're cats and dogs, again.
Well, we got drunk, and we got mad;
It happens, now and then,
And you tell me that it's all your fault,
But you mean it's mine, again;
One of these days,
We’ll find out whose horse will win.

But anyhow, I love you so;
If we can make it 'til tomorrow,
That's just as far as we need to go.
It's not hard to face the winter if you're playing in the snow,
And anyhow, I love you so.

Well, baby doll, we're high and dry, again,
Wondering if this lean-to that we built
Can stand the wind.
Wondering if we're too far out
For a savior to be sent;
Baby doll, we're high and dry, again.

But anyhow, I love you so;
If we can make it 'til tomorrow,
That's just as far as we need to go.
It's not hard to face the winter if you're playing in the snow,
And anyhow, I love you so."

anyhow

don't spread yourself so thin;
your tender heart will cave right in,
and I couldn't bear to see you collapse.
you'll run to the edge of the earth, 
your greedy feet will cast you down,
and what a sad, sad world if you should slip through the gaps. 

love what you are, 
love what you do, 
and everything will align for you.

because your journey to the sun
has only just begun, 
and you'll make it there someday, 
if it keeps coming 'round. 
and it will, 
        so you will.
                   alright. 

stand up straight, 
hold your head up high.
set your spirit in your stride,
and there's no way they'll knock you down.
you're unstoppable, just like me,
and I know that you will see,
that if you get to the end of your rope, 
you can break it off, 
and I'll be your solid ground.

"buzzcut season" by lorde

When the sun quits risin';
Quits kissin' those trees
As it embraces the horizon;
When the sky goes black, 
And the stars do, too, 
And the moon don't shine like it used to;
Well, maybe when the sun quits risin', 
I'll quit lovin' you.

When the birds stop their singin', 
And the bees quit carryin' all the love
They've been bringin';
When the wild-flowers fade
To an untrue hue, 
And the breeze don't breathe 
Like it used to;
Maybe when the birds stop singin', 
I'll quit lovin' you. 

Well, it's gonna take, 
Some bends, and breaks, 
But we're gonna make it through;
The sun won't fall, 
The birds will call, 
No matter what we do. 
The stars will stay shining, and true,
And I won't stop lovin' you.

When the world stops its spinnin';
When the start stops stoppin', 
And the stop stops beginnin';
When the second hand cashes in its chips,
'Cause its through, 
And the time don't flow like it ought to;

Well, maybe when the sun quits risin', 
Maybe when the birds stop singin',
Maybe when the world stops spinnin', 
I'll quit lovin' you.

Well, it's gonna take, 
Some bends, and breaks, 
But we're gonna make it through;
The sun won't fall, 
The birds will call, 
No matter what we do. 
The stars will stay shining, and true,
And I won't stop lovin' you.

maybe when

I couldn't sleep so I recorded this. My roommate wants it for easy sharing access so here it is.
