Run 01:47
Run Waiting, Desiring I have walked right into a trap Disillusioned, Conspiring I can do much better than Wait a minute, What is in it? Will it give me a heart attack? I'm losing all my marbles and I can't seem to put them back So I run I run, run, run, run run I am melting, I'm perspiring Has my focus been at a loss Had a hard enough time Trying to turn my head off Have I lost it? Am I failing? I'm sure it's all my fault At least I know that I'm the one responsible It is not your fault Should I run? Run Run Run Run Run I don't care but you remind me of me A mirror reflection, an image reflector It could never be You can stay with me until fall has come and All my money's gone Waiting, Desiring I have walked right into a trap Disillusioned, Conspiring I can do much better than Wait a minute, What is in it? Will it give me a heart attack? I'm losing all my marbles and I can't seem to put them back So I run I run, run, run, run run

Outlook 03:34
Outlook I just want to sleep I just want to cry I just want to lay me down to die Sometimes it makes me sad Sometimes it drives me mad Talking with myself Lying to myself I can hear a voice Thank god I have a choice I'm fortunate I know to live in this country Where freedom isn't free It's costing you and me Our families life expectancy Wake up, Stand up, Walk on, Hands up Look up, Stay Strong, Live life, Live long I can't help it when I'm waiting for you To drive this ship through outer space While I'm standing in the same place Seems odd I know to do something like this

What Is Real 05:46
What Is Real There is not a good reason why I should let go Of what is bothering me Just a parasitic tick a tick you would like to burn off The blood still poisons me Even though I’m small My big idea is tall In uncomplicated lines I tell you how I feel Without a care or thought in structure we get caught Help me while I suffer What is really real? What is real? Tell me, Tell me How you feel Touch me. Hold me. Soothe me. Warm me. Help me. Control me. What is real? I need to make a change but My brain stays the same Could you start by killing me These feelings, Swelling,growing, feeding Keep the pain where I stick The air is thick and full My head is caving in My feelings overwhelmed My blood is getting thin I’m lifting off my hat to cool my dreams of hate Fuel for my illusion What is really real? What is real? Tell me, Tell me How you feel Touch me. Hold me. Soothe me. Warm me. Help me. Control me. What is real?

The Drought 02:17
The Drought Just wait till it’s all used up You’ll get an answer Trip and fall get bruised and cut Well, we’re not helpless Is it too late now to pull the plug Is it permanent damage This dry spell could last for years If gone unmanaged Without water we all drown Without water we’re going down Dust to Dust Return we must In our hands We have to trust Without water we all drown Without water we’re going down
6.
Astronaut 03:43
Astronaut We wait, we watch The hatred swells We are so afraid of what they tell us The facts are wrong Someone is lying Better not trust anyone They keep lying You are flying You are an astronaut Keep on buying No use trying We are all astronauts We are all so angry You say you're not Denial explosions Connect the dots Spinning information In bytes and clips Video chains and audio whips They keep lying You're still flying You are an astronaut Keep on buying No use trying We are all astronauts You are amazed I am impressed They use big words on my TV set You are amazed I am impressed They use big words on my TV set They keep lying You're still flying You are an astronaut Keep on buying No use trying We are all astronauts

Invisible Children (JK 2012) We could use your voice right now Could you use your voice right now? You could use your voice right now To pass this on. They have come into our village Taken brother, sister and run They teach the boys to kill and maim The girls are stripped of blood You could stand up and use your voice? Could you stand up and use your voice? Would you stand up and use your voice To save a child? We’re not the only ones here Living on this earth So get out Stand Up Stop hate and bigotry The ones who make a difference are just like you and me They have come into our village Taken brother, sister and run They teach the boys to kill and maim The girls are stripped of blood You could stand up and use your voice? Could you stand up and use your voice? Would you stand up and use your voice To save a child? We’re not the only ones here Living on this earth So get out Stand Up Stop hate and bigotry The ones who make a difference are just like you and me.

Valentine 02:50
Valentine I wrote a simple song A lovely Valentine To say I love you One hundred times A song with simple lines That you could memorize To be a song that perseveres Through one hundred thousand years Our hearts are so complex We don’t know what to expect You’ve always got my back You’re keeping me in check I would fall apart without you I love you 2x I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I I’m not afraid to tell you I love you I wrote a simple song A lovely Valentine To say I love you One hundred Million times Sung with simple lines That you could recognize A song that perseveres Through one hundred billion years Our hearts are so complex We don’t know what to expect You’ve always got my back Your keeping me in check I would fall apart without you /\ I love you /\ 3x /\ I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I I’m not afraid to tell you I love you

Sun2 02:44
Sun 2 I need to see, I need to feel I need to feel your light upon my skin When you come around you bring me sanity Warm inviting sun I worship thee so In the winter depths of darkness The pain grows in my eyes My hand is cold to touch My body aches for warmth Take me in, get me out of this house Warm inviting sun I worship thee so Give me gardens by the sea The smell of ocean breeze A taste of love on the tip of tongue My head in the clouds and the rhythm of the sun Put my body in a sling between two trees for fun The warmth of the sand in the palm of my hands A drink of the nectar fermenting in the sun I'll take gold warm rain between happiness and pain Warm inviting sun I worship you so Warm inviting sun I worship thee so
11.
The News 03:22
The News I'm awake I'm alive I can crawl into the moonlit sky When I’m lost, when I lose There's no truth for me to chose Leaves me confused from the news, with the blues Without truth in the media Are we as blinded and shielded as we feared There's no time left to lose Overpopulate planet earth Nature here, over there Overlooked and we're under aware Running scared from the news, with the blues Without truth in the media Are we as blinded and shielded as we feared I'm confused by the news With the blues in the media We are as blinded and shielded as we feared

Walking Talking Drinking I went out walking with myself I went out walking and talking to myself I went out drinking with myself I went out drinking and thinking to myself yeah I went out wandering by myself I went out wandering and pondering to myself I was out dreaming with myself I went out dreaming trying hard to believe inside myself It’s been a long, long way back to you It’s been a long, long way back to you It’s been a long, long way back to you It’s been a long, long way back to you I went out walking with myself I went out walking and talking to myself I went out drinking with myself I went out drinking trying hard to believe inside myself
13.
Book of Stars Well it seems like an age Since I left you behind The path we have left undefined I carry a weight That I just won’t let go It would be easier if I didn’t know There politics are fake We have lost all control Injustice makes me sick to my soul The leaders aren’t seen Senate puppets on strings Might as well be fairies with wings It’s a twisted cruel joke When we think we are great We’ve given the world fuel to hate No nothing is true Nothing is fact You cannot know Can you deal with that? If Jesus is sun The sun is so bright The book is of stars in the sky

Useless in Eustis Just north of Rangeley in the mountains of Maine In the town of Eustis dirt roads are one lane We had plenty of beer and a trunk full of skunk Just what you need for a high, for a drunk With our guns on the rack there was no looking back When the pedal went down the cops sprung their trap Now we’re useless in Eustis The pigs tried to juice us and take away all of our guns The booze made us clueless We’re useless in Eustis Now we’re on the run With a 30 aught six and a box full of shells The bullets start flying when a young rebel yells At 80 miles an hour we’re risking our lives All I could think was my wife or the knife Hell if we get caught she’ll spit in my face She’s gonna be mad better keep up the pace Now we’re useless in Eustis The pigs tried to juice us and take away all of our guns We’re not ruthless or toothless Just useless in Eustis Now we’re on the run (breakdown) We’d been drinking all day. We’d partied all night When the tires kicked up dust we were out of sight Laughing and singing wait, what’s that a head Slammed on the brakes or we might be dead Nine big ole moose they were blocking the road Took out our guns and fired off a load Moose were every way running we didn’t kill one Cause we’re not poachers just guys on the run Now we’re useless in Eustis The pigs tried to juice us and take away all of our guns They sent moose to confuse us We’re useless in Eustis Now we’re on the run
