Make Voice Get Heard ~ Silent Zen

The AFC in his new track does honor to the great leader 
Martin Luther King Jr.

Mr.King

Lately I have been listening to Johnny Cash with a greater appreciation than ever before.  When doing this song, I felt close to Mr. Cash and his work.  I hope some of that feeling made its way into this song.  On Monday it will be 13 years since Mr. Cash left this earth.  His music lives on.

I owe so much on this song to the wonderful music and support from Hans and the additional care from Sam Prock.  Thank you dearly my friends.

Regards,
Chris

“Painted White Line”

Empty hallway
Empty heart
Drained of emotion
Too tired to start 
Another hopeless journey
Into the dark

Like a freight train
Trying to roll without its tracks
Like an airplane
Trying to fly with wings detached
Like a racecar
Steering without its wheel
My life feels like a tunnel
I need her here

I remember back
To a time of daisies 
And dandelions
She was the flower
I was a common weed
I could always hear her breathe
It always seemed 
She was breathing life into me

There is a painted white line
On the road for travelers
I need a painted white line
In my life as I’m traveling
But my line is painted 
Painted black

I drink my cheap wine
I remember back
To a time of daisies 
And dandelions
She was the flower
I was the common weed

I could always hear her
The way she breathed
It always seemed to me like … 
She was breathing the life into me
Breathing life into me
Breathing life into me
She was breathing the life into me

But like a freight train
Trying to roll without its tracks
Like an airplane
Trying to fly with wings detached
I’m the racecar
Steering without a wheel
My life’s a tunnel
I need her…

Repeat a Lie enough until it blurs Fact. Question and find what's Real - OR - The Truth Lies Here! 

The Truth Lies Right Here ©
Original - Riff Beach
RiffWerx - 2016
Their question was When
Our question is How
Their answer was Then
Our Time is Right Now

Negotiate or Fight
Either way there’s a Cost
What’s Left and what’s Right?
Are we totally Lost?

Chorus
We Contend or Defend
Beats Living in Fear
Learn what’s Real, My Friend
Or, The Truth….Lies…..Right Here

Carefully choosing our Battles
For all Peace is Wrought
In the Decisions we Make
And The Wars not yet Fought

Bridge
Pause, Act, Pray or Think
Drift away if you must
Fill Your Glass up with Drink
As Ashes scatter to Dust

How can you trust what they Say?
Even Believe what you see?
Do you wish it all away?
Or, just Let it Be?

Stand Up/ w Mrs Rhymes & TCM Underground

The lead single from our new EP "Strings"

“‘Baltimore’ though is the track that signals Hollowed Sky’s real arrival – six minutes of passion and intensity which some bands spend a career trying to capture. That song sis worth the price of admission alone.”~The Rockpit 

Lyrics for the song "Baltimore:"
To let it drone, to let it breathe
To hold my own, to make it me
Unstoppable incompetence
The disrespect, unreal to me
‘cause nobody cares about these streets
To give up on hope, give up on dreams
That’s not this man, not my city
When nobody cares about streets
Guns. Dimes. Crime.
Politics and loss of life
I can’t take no more

‘cause no one will let us grow
Under this hell we know
No one to teach their young
Function of plans unknown

This place is run with crooked men
Their greedy paws are in the dish
While young men die and no one cares
We will rise up and make a stand
‘cause nobody cares about these streets
It’s time to shine, so here we go
Let’s make it count, let’s let them know
That things will change, be different now
To make one man, into a crowd
Guns. Dimes. Crime.
Politics and loss of life
I can’t take no more

‘cause no one will let us grow
Under this hell we know
No one to teach their young
Function of plans unknown

Statistics will show you the numbers of loss
But that means nothing when it is one of your own
And it plays out like horrors you see on the screen
Of a movie or something you would not believe
When you look at the screen all you do is just cry
At the hit that you take when it’s deep in your pride
Still you struggle to get up and get on your feet
But you get up and go out, you get up and go

No one will let us grow
Unknown the class we own
No one to teach their young
No one will let us grow
Under this hell we know
No one will let us grow
No one, no one

I don’t have a whole lot here, but I can make it work
You see, it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with them
We try, we try so hard. Does anybody care about us?
I didn’t think so
