WAITING FOR THE FLOOD
Words and Music by David Pollon

The black skies
Washing a wall of water over our eyes
Pushing the rivers to their brink, then over

It's a bitter season
A lack of empathy and reason
Pushing the people to their brink, then over

Come out and fight
Collective suicide is our right
They're on the rise

Digging deeper
Digging that same old well
Keep on lying to yourself 'til it swallows you whole

Come out and fight
Collective suicide is our right
They're on the rise

A world on fire
Never thought I'd say I missed the rain
If you can leave you should but I'll wait for the flood...

Waiting  For The Flood

Waiting For The Flood

AS STARS BURN
Words and Music by David Pollon

On top of the world
On the knife edge of the precipice, that falls away to you
I can't breath
Paralyzed realizing I'll never hear your voice again

As stars burn, as stars burn
And the light in your eyes is like staring into the sun

Losing my grip
Letting go of all my pretenses, having lost all my senses
Falling so far
My heart is frozen with fear, she's my polar star, farther than she appears

As stars burn, as stars burn
And the light in your eyes is like staring into the sun.

As Stars Burn

4 Strings
Words and Music by David Pollon

These 4 strings
Have their stories to tell
Of redemption and loss, too many miles crossed

These 4 strings
With a message of faith that I can't feel
The assurance of hope and things I cannot see

No matter how I try
To bring the sunshine with wood and wire
There's a darker side of loss
Carried by these 4 Strings

These 4 strings
Abandoned, lost then found
Oh, why'd you let her go, her words fading on a postcard

No matter how I try
To bring the sunshine with wood and wire
There's a darker side of loss
Carried by these 4 strings

[solo]

These 4 strings
With a hand-painted map of the world
They're ready for a new start, in my hands and in my heart

No matter how I try
To bring the sunshine with wood and wire
There's a darker side of loss
Carried by these 4 strings
