Welcome to the Party

Lord, have you forsaken me
Oh have I done something wrong?
Please just give me time to be
For I love... I love you
I know you have to live your medicine
I know you have to speak your peace
You, my love, my heart that I jettisoned
I'll be true
Wake up, old friend, we're getting near the end
Feel the sense of living, feel it grow up on the skin
Have we lost the feel? So cold and sealed away
For the rest of our lives, for the rest of our lives
Welcome to the party now, after it's done
We all had a good time
Blood on the wall tells a tale of old
All that was good and that died
Sometimes we come to
Little pieces of our youth
In the night-time we fight
all those things in our mind
But it's all right
Oh well, it's getting hard to tell the time
What does it mean when it's gone?
It's just so confused from the start
That feeling never fades at all...
Oh no
We dig a hole deep in our soul
From where we've been
Sometimes we tell the tales of old
Of all those times we filled it in
Sometimes we come to
Little pieces of our youth
In the night-time we fight
all those things in our mind
But it's all right
Oh, oh
It's all right

Waken up
Though sometimes life gets dark
Oh, the possibilities on a sunny day in June
When the big clouds come out
Don't let it dissipate
Start it rolling today
Big dreams take life-long
While some things you find in a song
Can't imagine a world without love
While some things you just don't have
Pull brother along
Where do I belong?
Summertime in green
Can't wait just to live the dream
Oh where will I go
Is it just fear to me?
They always claim there's so much to know
Just wish I could show them this
And me

Castle Walls
03:53
|
|||
|
Walking down the dark halls in your heart space
When it calls to me to leave this place
The sky is open, the grass is green again
All this talk of love just goes through the wind, like sin
Where'd my head go? I forget now
On a pike outside the castle walls
Of your love
Think this suffering will purify
As the days just drift so slowly by, but I
Think you and I could make such a melody
I gave you all my money, just sing to me, to me
Where'd my head go? I forget now
On a pike outside the castle walls
Of your love
Of your love
Of your love
Of your love
Eyes look in the sky above me
Blood flows down into the stream of love
But it always gets stuck to the weeds
Always gets stuck to the weeds
Where'd my head go? I forget now
On a pike outside the castle walls
Of your love

I Don't Mind
04:51
|
|||
|
Oh, the wind blows
Through the pines
Where's my mind go?
Oh, I don't mind...
In the sunlight
I will burn up
Though I don't mind
Just where I end up
In the skies of blue
In the clouds of white
In the purple season
Of a summer night
In the moonlight I will burn out
Though I don't mind
Just where I come out...
In the languid dream
It's not as hard
Though it seems
We try... you know it isn't
Isn't this way
Then the light comes
Through the sky
Vibrations hit me
Make me feel high
In the love light
I will fall away
But I know we don't die
So I don't dismay...
In the languid dream
It's not as hard
Though it seems
We try so hard...
You know it...
Know it has to be
For you and me

Glistening
05:09
|

|
The sea is glistening in this state I'm in
The waves roll by
When the flood comes
it brings the undertow
I never know why
Wanna breathe the air without a care
til' I don't feel nothin
What's life mean?
Just pretty sheen, or a thin veneer?
It's so pretty here so I stake my claim
But it don't mean that I live
What the fuck set the fire burning?
All that we save till the dark grave?
Just take me back home
Back where I belong
I just feel numb, so I feel none
Just a little now and then
Need to go north where the cold winds blow
That where I begin?
Just take me back home
Back where I belong

Real Life Down
03:07
|
|||
|
I waste away the day and the night too
Just to be with you in your heart
Feeling real life go down
Feeling real life go down-stream
Clean loving has no place for us
Feel yourself at home
Shedding all the skin of this lifetime
And cross the line to the ether
Feeling real life go down
Feeling real life go down-stream
Clean feeling has no place for us
Feel yourself at home
Drinking in the distance of your love
And feel the cup spilling over
Feeling real life go down
Feeling real life go down-stream
Clean living has no place for us
Feel yourself at home

Burnt Orange
04:51
|
|||
|
So this is fall again
And the fire is my friend
The night's coming on
And life feels right
In this painted life
You can choose the lies
Or go earth side and
Just drink the moonshine
But the feeling, oh the feeling
Is the reason to go on
They put the screws in me
Holding where I've been free
Stone flannel wearing man... in your ways
But in this pool below
Full of melted snow
See I feel alive when I jump in now
And the feeling, oh the feeling
Is the reason to be alive
All I wanted
All I wanted
Is to be here
In the countryside
In this orange burning glow
Feel the earth, and feel the sky
It's all I'll ever, ever know

Songs Genuine
02:08
|
|||
|
All these people fucking with my time
Cause a thinkin' man to drink his wine
All he needs is a song that's genuine
Where did all the time go
And is it real?
Dreariness is coming through
The cellophane life is choking hues
And I don't know what to do
So I just sit here on the porch with you
Feeling wind cut me in two
What of youth
What happened to you?
All this time goes nowhere

Elusive
04:46
|
|||
|
One, two, one, two, three
Where's the feeling get lost in life?
In the end, words die before I send them
Is there a true way to live?
Cuz' it seems, forever and forever elusive
Can I lose the weight I needed then
Just to love?
All comes back to the one
Lost in the summer sun
As we find a way to be here
Here I am flying down an open road
What can I say?
Pull the throttle and come what may
Is this all just a dream?
Cuz' it seems
To go on forever and forever and forever
Can I lose the weight I needed then?
It all comes back around
Back to love
All comes back to the one
Lost in the summer sun
As we find a way to be here
