Track # 6 called "Awake and Aware" from my first LP called "Songs for Peace , Love and Understanding". This song continues to explore themes of sell-discovery particularly the emotional pains of our past and what we have learned to help us on our continued journey through life. Allowing oneself to continue to learn from life's successes and failures and foster continued growth of our self-awareness. We just need to be comfortable being our authentic self. The chorus reminds one to allow for space to grow as we continue through this one time expereince of life as a human being.
Lyrics:
We all have an ancient wound
Extract the fire from your experience
Be comfortable as you can
But leave some space for life to surprise you

Find a lesson in everything
We are all one family on this earth
Give yourself permission just to know who you are
You don’t need to be like everyone just be yourself

Feel the space between
Get comfortable with the flow
Make some space for who you are
Cause all of life is just preference

Have some confidence to make mistakes, but time to learn
The best you cand do is to just have an open mind
The moment you know who you are
Is the moment you stop learning about yourself

NEON SKYLINE

I’m crashing into people and I don’t know what to do when 
I find myself absolved of all the thoughts of what I’m doing
I pause to take a look at how you're shook and were mistaken 
When you thought I had the pride inside that could be taken
Decapitate your state of mind your ignorance is blatant
My patience for your language  has me hating all your faces 
I’m going through the paces when my rhetoric defaces 
Replaces any sense of self or thoughts of all your greatness

Break me down to pieces with your apathetic thesis  
I'm eating Reese’s pieces while you're allergic to peanuts 
I bang so much vagina while you only see a penis 
And you're dreaming if you think your close to even being what you're seeing

Breath in all your air 
Now hold your fucking breathe 
Don’t say a word 
Until your fucking death
Don’t say a word 
Until there's nothing left
No brain left to function
And no beat left in your chest 

I take comfort your discomfort will not come for many months 
And if if it doesn't it’s because of all the love that really wasn’t  
And when your fleeting smile widens to a gaping  hole
I will cast away your bliss as merely ignorance you hold
Questioning me 
Lecturing me 
Mentioning me 
Pestering me
All you can see is the jester in me 
And the pain as it flames and festers in me

Don't say a word

My Lyrics

(Not coming out of SC retirement :) A friend suggested I post all my Sakura Bluegrass to encourage copycats.  Here's to hoping! <3 )

Woke from a dream with "As predicted, I'm no longer here.  Walked a roof over a deep blue sea" singing in my brain.  I mixed and warped some Japanese proverbs about caution and taking risks and made this :)
------------------------------------
Close the chapter, Shut the doors.
Slip away and leave the keys.
Don't look back on once was ours.
We can only keep the memories

As predicted, I'm no longer here.
Walked a route over a deep blue sea.
Not a frog, no well, so clear.
Hug a cheetah and save humanity.

Life renews, the Sakura bloom
And fine weather will come
So, all will be clear soon.

Watching over us is the sun.
You can't look forward,
without having been somewhere.

A stone bridge skipped over
For want of a tiger's den.
Not some dry-up has-been.

As predicted, I'm no longer here.
Walked a roof over a deep blue sea.
Not a frog, no well so clear.
Hug a cheetah, feed a manatee

Wiser words never spoken,
A gift, a flower never to be broken
Nothing ventured a life-long shame.

As Predicted, Fine Weather
