Utmost.Virtuoso - THANK GOD

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)

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.

solid ground

sky looks like rain,
I say let it come down. 
if the clouds reveal the sun, 
well, I hope he'll stick around. 
if the snow covers the earth, 
let your inner child be found.
if the lightning splits the sky, 
enjoy the show, and enjoy the sound. 

doesn't matter if the weathermen say 
that it's blue or it's grey, 
the sky will take my breath away. 
because the sky up above
is a painting of love
on a monumental canvas
of night and day. 

so if you find yourself in lights
beyond this small-town, streetlamp silhouette, 
and your journey for amazement 
takes you far away, 
remember to be more 
than you ever though that you could be, 
and listen to me when I say that
if within these words you cannot hide, 
above all else, at least be satisfied. 

you've got some nerve, don't you boy?
you've got everything you need and more. 
a roof over your empty, dreaming head, 
what more are you looking for?
you've got the sky above your head,
and the ground beneath your feet,
wind and water at your fingertips 
and plenty of food to eat. 

but you never seem to see 
all the blessings that be
even though they're standing
right before your eyes. 
what will it take for you to wear the name
of satisfied?

so if you find yourself in lights
beyond this small-town, streetlamp silhouette, 
and your journey for amazement 
takes you far away, 
remember to be more 
than you ever though that you could be, 
and listen to me when I say that
if within these words you cannot hide, 
above all else, at least be satisfied. 

be satisfied, my brother.
be satisfied, my father.
be satisfied, my mother. 
be satisfied, my soul.

"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
