Time Machine
03:38
|

Sometimes in my life, everything falls apart no sense of the world despite thinking I’m fine Three times in my life set courses intentionally an avalanche just to see it grow organically / When I can carve out free time build me a time machine to see where this all leads When I can carve out free time climb in my time machine to read the lines I’d missed between / Those times in my life I took it all for a joke never made plans and spoke with too much self esteem
One time in my life I grabbed the bull by the horns washed its blood off the floor and swore no more, I swore no more

Canopy

In the canopy does life make more sense you’re up there through winters despite your ascent in the canopy / Oh no keep an eye open if you’re living below oh no a rising tide drowns if your anchored too low / In the canopy does life make more sense you’re up there with winners can you claim self defense in the canopy / We’ll never wanna find out which way to go We’ll never wanna find out that we’re too slow We’ll never wanna find out we didn’t show We’ll never wanna find out when we might blow We’ll never to wanna look in see where it goes We’ll never wanna find out torture us slow We’ll never wanna find out unless it’s for show We’ll never
wanna to find out more than we know

Did You Go Blind?
03:29
|
|||
Dream, thankful we made it it seems hip hip hooray you and I saw it another way Out there beyond the strange faces the blank stares of Letter Box Coupon Savants / Did you get what you want? Hold it or have it ensconced kept out of view or to flaunt Or did you go blind at just the right time? Out there down through the well guarded thoroughfare some Clown in the Box chatters on / whether you wanted or not tied to the truest of knots Or did you go blind at just the right time? Dream

Nobody Home
04:35
|
|||
Black and white the TV stares back Ma and Pa in a new Cadillac / Left it to Beaver and look where we ended up gentle receiver now there’s nobody home there’s nobody home / Bobby dear catching a knife shaved his head took the ride of his life / Cancel the Cleavers his hand in an empty cup deadly deceivers who knew what was up some house in the jungle there was nobody home forces of evil piled in the back of the truck / Humid night harmony hums in the fan Clair de Lune on a Civil Defense Meanwhile back at the ranch it seemed to take a while till they’d shake his hand

Back Where I Belong
03:34
|
|||
Salt air pieces of old recollections tired and blurry as the rim of the glass /
and in an instant they were seen riding yonder forward facing with the trees breaking from them side by side to bring me back where I belong 8 or 9 to bring me back where I belong / Shots rang pellets in every direction one cried “we don’t need to take him alive” And as eternal night was descending on me something to my right had become too blinding, amigos I used to know ride in tow to bring me back where belong

River To The Wheel
03:59
|
|||
See my ghost from where’d you come? Pick my choice here you come hear your voice hum from my radio trace my soul that’s the thing about
growing old / Fear I that feel / Throwing it all away I’m throwing it all away for my love is real / See my ghost when’d you come? Hear your voice out on my patio trace my soul that’s the thing about growing old / Fear I that feel like a river to the wheel / See my ghost from where’d you come?

Reset
03:16
|
|||
See, right now we’re together we, still die all alone I’ll sing my
meaningless song let’s reset the species and move it along some living just to see heaven Some there’s no gods to keep score and me? I’ll wait for an asteroid strong to reset the species back where it belongs / Nature without chalk in its hand chaotic no plan just a system in true balance with itself there’s a wilting poinsettia tossed up on the shelf / Sing, cause we’ve made it this far seems, we never know who we are try as the new day does dawn to reset the species and all get along

Remembering The Roses
03:45
|
|||
In the flytrap of another quicksand day I sip my cold coffee in a zone ain’t it easy to \ consider all trackless unpaved roads deck a prison with some
trappings and call it home / And yes I could have called you the words I think they always come out wrong there’s power in the process of leaving well and well enough alone we’ll remember all the roses that way / Like in the garden howling at the moon in the garden bloom as thorn and thicket peeled away from view I fell in love with you / Looking back through a pair of phantom prism eyes just like a memory of a moment evokes surprise / And yes I should recall you but the strut of growing older has a way of putting good times to the foreground while the hurtful seed themselves deeply engrained we’ll remember all the roses that way
