Have you ever had a moment when you realized that life is passing you by and you forgot to slow down and sniff some daisies? Well, I have and this song is all about the feeling I get when I take the time to stop and experience all that life has to offer. So take the good with the bad and take time to enjoy the daisies.

LYRICS:

Baby, we be goin' around sniffin' daisies
In the afternoon feelin' a bit crazy
You know we love livin' so lazy, baby
Maybe, if we go all around sniffin' daisies
It could make us feel a little less crazy
Even though we spend our day being lazy, maybe
All that time, goin' around tryin' to figure out how
How we could spend life dreaming of a time
We could find, a chance to be
Lazy, we be goin' around sniffin' daisies
In the afternoon feelin' a bit crazy
You know we love livin' so lazy, baby
Now your in the ground pushin' up daisies
Never had your chance to be lazy
Now I spend by time goin' crazy, baby
Now I'm goin' around sniffin' the daisies
In the afternoon feelin' a bit crazy
You know we loved bein' so lazy, baby
Sniffin' the Daisies

Sniffin' Daisies

Main Lyrics:

We share
Rational lies

We are compromised
Rationalize the lies we share


Where you go, What will you do? What will you see?
What will be coming after you? What will be coming after me?
In some time, we should find, that it’s coming, it’s coming round,
And you don’t even see, that we all must find a way, a way to breath.
And yet, we think we know, all about, all about, all about the flow,
of consequence growing, growing from our daily endless needs.

When we rationalize, That we need Compromise,
Then know, it must Comprise, of the Truth.
For when we rationalize, To Justify these Lies,
Then know, it is, to the demise of our Youth.
And so then we rationalize, we rationalize these lies but we need to 
slow, all the flow of endless hate and discover why we love and die.

Can we even save the bees? A to the B to the C to the D let’s please,
Find a way to restrain, to restrain our needs, what is necessary to feed and bread.
Those who follow the one on high, they, you know they, they don’t even lie.
Really? that's just a bunch of what comes out, of the end of that bully pulpit, Lies…
Cause you know that in the end we will know, in the end we will know
in the end we will know, we will know the truth, know the truth, know the truth
In the end, it will be the only thing that enables us to breathe.

When disaster strikes, and all we do is lie, about the sacrifice,
 that’s required for us to pull this right through.
Then we see, were are overcome and indifferent to the needs,
Of those, who’s sacrifice enables us to be locked up in our cocoons. 

When we rationalize, That we need Compromise,
Then know, it must Comprise, of Truth.
For when we rationalize, to Justify these Lies,
Then know, it is, to the demise of our Youth.

Rational Lies

Apron Lyrics:

You came into my life and you treated me really nice.
You offered me some tea, and then you made cookies for me.
And then just like the ice, you melted with strife.
You left me that day, and for that this is all that I could say…
Is
Don’t steal my apron, baby can’t you see?
That when I knead, the flour it gets on me.
So don’t steal my apron, it starts as a seed,
But when it’s all ground up, the flour sticks to me.

You were all dressed up and ready to go,
Could this be true, was it really so?
From this distance my eyes, they may play tricks on me.
Oh, is that really my apron, that I see?
Strung right over that black and leather studded coat,
Hung like a prize won at a kissing match.
So I sneak up behind, and I snatched it back,
And I said as I started to flee…

Don’t steal my apron, baby can’t you see?
That when I knead, the flour it gets on me.
So don’t steal my apron, it starts as a seed,
But when it’s all ground up, the flour sticks to me.

Don’t steal my apron, baby if you leave.
Then I will knead the flour with the yeast.
Don’t steal my apron, it starts as a seed,
But when it’s all ground up, the flour sticks to me.

Yeah when I knead, the flour gets on me… YOW!

Apron

The air that I use to sing, it be a very blessed thing,
And now the air I breathe doeth sting, so
Leave the oil in the ground today.

The young that I see around me, they be a very precious thing.
And now the air they breathe doeth sting, so
Leave the oil in the ground today.

The air we breathe, it should be free, from all that stings, so
Leave the oil in the ground today.
The air we breathe, it should be free, from all that stings, so
Leave the oil in the ground today.

The life that is lived around me, it be a very precious thing.
And now the air we breathe doeth sting, so
Leave the oil in the ground today.
Leave the oil in the ground today.
Cause if we…

Go, go round here, Go, year after year.
Flying through the sky, achieves fresh supply,
Our numbers multiply, we don’t even realize,
The momentum of our size, Increases as we buy,
We think bigger is better and safer, why?
If we Go, go round here, No concern, year after year.
As we eat up all the meat, we have forests to defeat,
Can’t think to retreat, find a new way to eat.
Get up, use our feet, Electrify the fleet,
Re-use, Re-purpose, Recycle, Repeat.
We could come together, and could conquer this feet.
If we Go, go round here, No concern, year after year.
But we could Go, go round here, with courage, we could
LEAVE IT!

The young that I see around me, they be a very precious thing.
And now the air they breathe doeth sting, so
Leave the oil in the ground today.

Leave the oil in the ground today.

LeaveIt

Uncomfortable

What can we say, when we’ve gone too far away?
What will we do when the air we breathe, tastes like what we put in the breeze?
What will we do when the air we breathe, tastes like what we put in the breeze?
Uncomfortable. 
Uncomfortable, now I’m uncomfortable, with what I must say.
Uncomfortable, now I’m uncomfortable, with what I must do.
You see we’ve gone too far away, no way to save the day, we must still eat.
Feed our need that ever groes, for things that do not re-grow, show me a way.
Show me a way, please show me a way, a way to save the day.
Show me a way, please show me a way, a way to save the day.
Please show me this way.
Uncomfortable, uncomfortable, oh we feel so uncomfortable, with what we do.
Uncomfortable, we’ll be so uncomfortable, this is what we choose.
Uncomfortable, uncomfortable, baby I’ve made you so uncomfortable.
Now you must choose.

Hydration

Don’t you know that I love you more each and every day,
Even though my transgressions have stained you this way.
But the more I feel your breeze and see you at play,
The more I see my reflection in you every day.

Because I feel you in the breeze, see you in the sway of the trees.
Now I’m down upon my knees, will you forgive me?
All the ways that I stained thee, I put you oil in the breeze.
Now I see how I must be, a hypocrisie.

Because you know that I love you more each and every day,
Even though my transgressions have stained you this way.
But the more I feel your breeze and see you at play,
The more I see my reflection in you every day.
Don’t you know that I love you more each and every day,
Even though my transgressions have stained you this way.
But the more I feel your breeze and see you at play,
The more I realize we are one in the same.

We must respect the air we breathe, know the dirt beneath your feet today.
Recognise a healthy sea, please sustain our ways.
Honor nature we receive, nature nurtures us in every way.
What else could we take from thee? Is this judgment day? Judgment day.

But don’t you know that I love you more each and every day,
Even though my transgressions have stained you this way.
But the more I feel your breeze and see you at play,
The more I see my reflection in you every day.

I see all the things that grow, covered with a sheet of cold white snow.
But a fresh seed has been sown, hopes of eternal flow.
Now I pray we all can grow, away from these transgressions we know.
Steward this place we call home, before it tells us no, you must go.

But don’t you know that I love you more each and every day,
Even though my transgressions have stained you this way.
But the more I feel your breeze and see you at play,
The more I realize that we are one in the same.

Gaia Love

We’re going nowhere soon, Swish cheese to the moon. 
Taking time to think, we’re sitting at the brink, 
and there’s no one on the other link. 
But finding gold it seems, we’re in a rush to dream. 
Take no time to breathe, we find those insatiable needs. 
Who calls themselves a friend, just to rationalize the end? 
The lies we share, they show us we care. 
We need this war so be prepared for… 

For what they call, reality, it’s just another mindless decree. 
The Sulfur Dioxide is in the breeze, so just take out some time to breathe. 
Please find another way to please these insatiable needs. 
There’s no need to flee, so follow the decrees, just take out some time to mend. 
Take time to think, don’t wash it down the sink. 
Because in the end there will be, there will be no need. 
To take time, take time, take time, take time to breathe. 
Just take, take the time, take the time to breathe. 
Take time to breathe, in the end we will concede. 
That in the end, there will be no more need to breathe.

Breathe

When will we see what we’re becoming? Flowing through these so telling trees,
Falling for those fast food orders, could we change society?

We challenge you to be part of the solution we find today.
All the way through the universe where we call home it’s true,
That we all need to be part of the solution.
So let’s take this challenge to ourselves and be a better we,

Could be, better. We could be.

We could be better to the bees, to the flowers, to the trees swaying in the breeze.
We could take a rest, find what’s best for everything that breathes.
We should be better to the bees, to the flowers, to the trees swaying in the breeze.
We should take a rest, find what’s best, for every living thing that breathes.
If we take this moment to breath and clear our minds from endless greed,
We could see that our thoughts lead to actions we take so please, breathe.
If we take this moment to breathe and clear our minds of endless greed,
We could see that our thoughts lead to actions we take time to dream,
Of a time so sublime, healthy air, healthy sea. 
Dream of a time when bees and trees can thrive in the breeze.
We could see that our thoughts lead to actions we take time to see.
A challenge to respect and love each and everything under the sun, please.

We challenge you to be part of the solution we find today.
All the way through the universe where we call home it’s true,
That we all need to be part of the solution.
So let’s take this challenge to ourselves and be a better we,

Could be, better. We should be, better.

Please don’t rationalize the lies that cause us to pollute the breeze.
Please don’t rationalize the lies that cause us to pollute the sea.
We can’t run away, this is our home, protect it from industry.
We can’t run away, this is our home and you know that we cannot flee.
If we want to continue to hydrate these endless needs,
Every voice must continue to sustain the air, soil, bees.
A challenge to sustain the air, soil, bees, trees, sea for essential needs.
A challenge to sustain the air, soil, bees, trees, sea for essential needs, please.

We challenge you to be part of the solution we find today.
All the way through the universe where we call home it’s true,
That we all need to be part of the solution.
So let’s take this challenge to ourselves and be a better we,

Could be, better. We could be, better.
We could be, better. We could be, better.
We could be, better. We should be, better we.

Love and respect earth, each and every day.
Identify transgressions we perpetuate today.
Love and respect earth, each and every day.
Eliminate transgressions we perpetuate each day.
Identify the ways you use oil every day.
Eliminate transgressions that we perpetuate each day.
Leave it in the ground, leave it in the ground,
Leave it in the ground today.
A challenge to eliminate transgressions every way.

We challenge you to be part of the solution we find today.
All the way through the universe where we call home it’s true,
That we all need to be part of the solution.
So let’s take this challenge to ourselves and be a better we,

Could be, better. We could be.

Challenge

Survivors, let’s be survivors. Through generations, across all nations, we are survivors, let’s keep on surviving. 
Survivors, we could thrive, we could survive, let’s be survivors, let’s keep surviving, through generations, across all nations.

All the ways we’ve been goin’ around got us livin’ like we don’t know all the ways that we’ve been so complacent.
All the time that we spend online trying to find a way to be sublime we become an idle nation, so complacent.
All the efforts replaced by machinery that consumes more than we can spare in Consumer Nation, so complacent.
All though, this that we see is that through our greed, to call it need for all these things that we get, wrapped in plastic, from all this industry that we swear we need, that we swear we need, that we swear we need.

Dreamy

On one crisp summer day, child goes outside to play.
Pollen drifts through the air, like snow everywhere.
But what does he see, but faces full of grief.
Don’t they see all the snow, like free spirits, drift and float.
Straight down from the trees, drifting in the breeze.

Oh Oh, Oh Oh...

He walks into the room, so full of gloom, and smiles in an awkward way.
Encumbered spirits drown, with each and every frown, and he smiles in an awkward way.
It’s not so bad you see, you’re still alive with me.
And he smiles, in an awkward way, this is the merry maker's way.

Oh Oh,
What will he say, on that day, when he walks away?

To take another step, through emotional wrecks, what should he prove today?
As he walks through the crowd, lifts heads up from the cloud, turns black and white to grey.
What can he say, at the end of the day, his smile has been diffused.
Take a look inside, find that crisp summer day, his child goes outside to play.
Like pollen snow everywhere, he smiles in the air, in an infectious way.

Oh, On that day.
What will he do, will he comfort you, when he walks away?

Ravencrowe is a solo project that is comprised of original music and some obscure cover songs. My name is Raven Crowe, I sing, play the guitar and keys through a loop station so that I can also play Trombone solos when the mood calls for it. I believe that the most important thing while performing is to have a good time and in turn the audiences have been very receptive for me. I also want to thank you for taking the time to show interest in my work. Cheers to the music and all who enjoy it.
