LYRICS: 
See the lightning on the skyline
Hear that thunder roll
Feel the storm rising in the midnight air
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

See the snow capped mountain in a big blue sky
Hear that mountain stream begin to flow
And that stream becomes a mighty river
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

So many questions
Where are the answers to be found?
Is my head way up in the clouds?
Are my feet on solid ground?
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

From this headland looking out to sea
As the ocean breeze begins to blow
Wave after wave washes over me 
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

Hear That Thunder Roll

First Breath

Living a life that I can't contain
I guess it's all my fault
Run through the wild with the scars I keep
They remind me of where I'm from
--------------------------------------------------------
Oh, numb my mind / I've lost my sight
So come at night / And taste a bite
--------------------------------------------------------
Scratch away from the skin
You said you wanted to go again
Well now it's time to sink or swim
Oh, my words are running thin
In a river full of lies
Yeah, the truth comes out in time
By that time, I hope your wise
Until then, you're running blind
--------------------------------------------------------
Reaching for things that I can't hold onto
I'm losing all my grip
Sailing the sea on half a plank
I'm on a sinking ship
--------------------------------------------------------
Oh, let me in / Inside your mind
You're still right here / You've lost the fight
So give right in / Oh, sink or swim
You have no choice / Oh, in the end
--------------------------------------------------------
*cheesy drum roll i made on fl studio*
--------------------------------------------------------
Scratch away from the skin
You said you wanted to go again
Well now it's time to sink or swim
Oh, my words are running thin
In a river full of lies
Yeah, the truth comes out in time
By that time, I hope your wise
Until then, you're running blind

Sink or Swim

We’ve said goodbye before
We’ll say hello again
Who knows how
Who knows when
Hello, goodbye, hello
Hello, goodbye, hello
We don’t know 
What will happen tomorrow
It could be joy
It could be sorrow
Hello, goodbye, hello
Hello, goodbye, hello
Hello…goodbye
Hello…goodbye
Hello…goodbye

Hello, Goodbye, Hello

Automatic Karma Situation

The Old Water Wheel

My latest release is called Garden: Here is a Youtube link to the song: youtu.be/xSZLcTXWsec

Garden
By David Husted

V1
Never living; feel the knock of the branch
Crack the window of a heart in despair
Happiness on deferred payment plans 
Future occurrence, might inherit

Say it's a habit just
mental acrobatics just
Flip your world around and be

Happiness just because, period
Not happiness that always needs a 

Ch
"Because of" …….
"Happiness" …….

V2
Love

Plant the garden and the weeds still come up
Life's not easy  but you've got to respond 
fill it up throw that bucket of dung
Soak the ground and hope some seeds will come up

Open up slowly
And crowd out the lowly mess of 
Thoughts in my head I conceive  

Happiness just because, period
Not happiness that always needs a 

"Because of" …….
"Happiness" …….

Bridge
There a real fine line between death and fear
What's your working definition of ….absurdity
Two steps forward and one step back
It can feel like our whole world might be under attack

What you lack, like an axe coming down
Juggernaut, endless wheel round n round
Figure out, 
Make It Stop
Loosen Up


Instrumental

Ch and Outro

"Because of" ……
"Happiness, Happiness Now
"Happiness, Happiness, Happiness Now

THE NATURE OF LOVE (ft. Colleen Bleazard)

The table shown in the picture belongs to a suite of pieces of furniture crafted in the early 1990s for the interior of the Kremlin by an Italian carpenter's workshop specialising in oak-design.

A big Thank You to The Neighbor for dropping in and playing a wonderful guitar.

Oak

1
Out of one single seed
With lots of nutrients to feed
Within the ground
Out of a natural striving
Heavenwardly
At least 5 centuries ago

Cut one morning
Somewhen in the eighties or seventies
Last century, supposedly in Italy
Your leaves were so green - and
Then you stopped to breathe
And were stored and dried for ys

ref 
300 ys to grow,
300 ys to bloom,
300 ys to die
That’s your „normal“ life

2
Skilled artistic carpenter hands have worked upon you 
After your death with devotion
Cutting, sanding and priming -
„Lying Flat“ on these three pillars
Born out of a single notion:

"A place to meet",
10 elliptical, oval square
Out of one single piece
Lacquered in white and
Adorned with gold leaf
Six meters long, 2.50 wide

ref 
300 rings to grow,
300 rings to bloom,
And then 300 rings to die
Oh, that’s your „normal“ life

3
Hard to believe that must be necessary
Something like you
Being so earthbound and stable
Was that already inscribed  
Somewhere in your fibres ?
Ending up as a „dissension-table“ ?

Next moment the mad imperator will receive an unwelcome guest and 
An oppressive breathless coldness spreads  
Just for an instant before the lightnings of the camera flashes begin 
And then all this weighs down on you.

ref 
300 rings to grow,
300 rings to bloom,
And then 300 rings to die
You would have outlived us many times

out
Now that you are an icon 
The outmost insane things
Happen at your long edges - and
What have you done to deserve that one ?

Sink or Swim
