Really smooth feel on this Robert, love the guitar playing 👏👏

Original song. Division doesn't have to be permanent

Lyrics
An old friend is climbing his wall again
with the people screaming for his blood
And if he should come tumbling down                 
All the king’s men could do nothing with the pieces on the ground 

We’re at the tower of Babel again 
have we forgotten how to hear
But  listening doesn’t make us weak
let’s give our better angels their chance to speak

Oh let’s  give our better angels one more chance
Oh let’s  give our better angels one more chance
A chance to prove that we were worth the sacrifice
A change to pass these blessings to those closest to our life
A change to pass these blessings on 

Why do I believe that you are villain beyond repair 
And somehow a stranger to love
and that those that grovel for power are somehow pure 
As they lift up hatred and themselves as the cure

Oh let’s  give our better angels one more chance
Oh let’s  give our better angels one more chance
A chance to prove that we were worth the sacrifice
A change to pass these blessings to those closest to our life
A change to pass these blessings on 

Are we so divided that we’ll throw our pearls in the dirt 
and fight each other tooth and nail

Oh let’s  give our better angels one more chance
Oh let’s  give our better angels one more chance
A chance to prove that we were worth the sacrifice
A change to pass these blessings to those closest to our life
A change to pass these blessings on 

Are we so divided that we’ll throw our pearls in the dirt

Abraham's Lament(Better Angels)

Salam

All these days, caught in a dark gray haze. See all the people, walking so slowly by.

HAZE

This song focuses on social and political commentary, exploring a sense of detachment from a world filled with constant drama, outrage, and conflict.

I’m saving my energy
This isn’t my mess
I’m staying out of the fire

The headlines scream, the channels bleed,
A thousand hands all planting seeds
I’m not taking sides
Don’t drag me into this

Of hate and fear and whispered doubt, A hollow anger, a final shout.
They point their fingers, draw their lines,
Lost in the chaos of their signs.
They want a witness, they want a judge,
But all I feel is a slow, cold sludge.

You want my name in your endless fight,
You want my soul to burn so bright.
But your fire's not for me to see,
What's it got to do with me?

I’m not the judge

I see the world through a pane of glass, Watching the fury as it comes to pass. Everyone's a hero, everyone's a fool, Just a pawn in a bigger, broken rule.

It’s not for me to decide
I have no stake in this

They preach their truths on a digital stage,
Turning every thought into a rage.
The virtuous and the villain stand,
A twisted play in a failing land.

You want my name in your endless fight,
You want my soul to burn so bright.
But your fire's not for me to see,
What's it got to do with me?

That’s not my fight
I’m not part of this
Your war is not my war
Leave me out of it
I’ll sit this one out
You can count me out

I've got my own wars left to fight,
I'm just trying to make it through the night.
Your borrowed hatred, your empty plea, It doesn't find a home in me.
This endless cycle, the screaming noise, It leaves no room for any other choice.
What's it got to do with me?
What's it got to do with me?
Nothing to do with me.

I’ve got my own problems

Now this song focuses on social and political commentary, I’m exploring a sense of detachment from a world filled with constant drama, outrage, and conflict.

I’m not the judge
It’s not for me to decide

I know the tone is cynical and weary, reflecting a feeling of being overwhelmed and uninvolved.

So hear me out
What’s it got to with me

Holding My Ground

Track 4 is a Drum Drops R&B beat. Track 3 is  a chord progression I wrote with Two guitars mixed low and high comping along. Track 2 is my bass line and Track 1 is my lead guitar with the melody.  I was thinking about how fast the summer season is flying by as I adjusted my final mix for  this one.
