Prairie Dreams - COMBSTEAD / Robert Grigg

Desiderium Vivere

If your love was a blizzard
I’d be a withered tree
if every word of mine could cut you a diamond
you’d still be mad at me
oh baby, admit it, what I say is true—
it’s just a little bit true...

If forgiveness was a river
yours would flow like the rivers on Mars.
if scorn was a fossil fuel
we’d never need to fill our cars
oh baby, can’t deny it
none of this is new—
ain’t none of it new…

But we still sync up at unexpected times
no astrologer can read our signs—
we just sync up!

When I travel the globe
nothing can impress anymore
when I hang out at home
nobody else will do
cause I’m still in awe of you
I’m still in awe of you

In awe of you
ooh-ooh-ooh
still I’m in awe

If all the hurricanes could gather
they still can’t hold you back.
and if your eyes could cut like knives
they still won’t cut me any slack
but always I’m rushing home to you—
always in a rush to you…

If I lacked direction or purpose
you would text me twelve or thirteen.
if gods could be placed in your service
they’d be fired long before me
their omniscience
probably stops with you—
cause none of them made you…

When I travel the globe
nothing can impress anymore
and when I hang out at home
nobody else will do
still in awe of you
guess I’m still in awe of you
in awe of you

In Awe of You

invisible (x3) wholly
invisible (x3) totally

see myself in the iris of your eyes
I’m lifesize
but all you see is your reflection

poorly painted onto my eyes 
you’re lifesize
but I'm full on my own introspection
 
grew up dreaming of being invisible
and now invisible is often how I feel
work hard to prove I'm not invisible
but not invisible still don’t mean you’re real

when you’re invisible
even a little invisible
then you’re invisible totally

some blame it on the way the mind flies
the mind lies, it sings you’re the most important
it assures you something never dies
but bottom line’s a soul seems discordant

this elevator’s out of order

grew up dreaming of being invisible
and now invisible is often what we are
we hug tight to feel less invisible
but less invisible still leaves a mean scar

invisible (x3) wholly
invisible (x3) totally

don’t worry we all got the same deal
beg borrow or steal
everyone is gonna get it

what matters is finding the shipmates 
that keep you real
keep you on even keel
getting your way is way overrated

the graveyards are full of those who made it

no longer care if I am visible
if I’m invisible to you then that’s fine
all the wealth in the world seems pitiful
if you’ve never been at all selfless and kind

Invisible

Original composition.... Alejandro Gonzalez M.

Hymnum Sperare

There's a hole in the world that's filling up with dark.
There's a hole in our hearts where the world has left its mark.
There's a void in the mind of the man with the gun,
there's a coldness in the place where his soul has come undone.

There's a bomb-wielding maniac bred on rage and hate
making plans and praising god and hiding at the gate.
There's a white collar criminal who will lie and cheat and bribe
to sell the filth of progress, brand new poisons to imbibe.

There's a hole in the world that's filling up with dark.
There's a hole in our hearts where the world has left its mark.
There's a bible-thumping simpleton polishing his guns
waiting for a Jesus who will never ever come.

There's a legion of robotic youths dancing to the beat
of depravity and illness and a future in retreat.
There's a nation full of empty souls existing to consume
every toy and trinket and ticket to their doom.

Enter the Beast! All hail the Beast!

There's a hole in the world that's filling up with dark.
There's a hole in our hearts where the world has left its mark.
There's a oil-soaked president with blood staining his hands,
knowing that a hungry world will increase it's demands.

There's a rising sense of panic under the commercial glaze
that gnaws at your assumptions of brighter future days.
There's the sinking feeling you will get as find you've been betrayed,
it's the outrage of the hopeless who know that they have all been played.

spend it on education
spend it on learning
so much for anarchy
hell, they are conforming
where is your inspiration
who has control of you
in a fire that’s burning within

yea i cannot understand
why i want to be me true and free
everybody’s telling me what to be
ill never be your mannequin of an american citizen
don’t tell me they can take my life away
don’t tell me that i cannot choose to stay

no matter what i do
i will never end up like you
no matter what they say
it’s a price that i will never pay
don’t tell me they can take my life away

there is a resolution
there is a warning
hail to the revolution
a war is forming
where is your inspiration
who has control of you
in a fire that’s burning within

no matter what i do
i will never end up like you
no matter what they say
it’s a price that i will never pay
throw away the fucking news
go and find another point of view
even if i win or lose
it’s a life that i am living true
