Startin Somethin

Someone started somethin' I don't know
He was only two or three feet tall
Or he could've been six foot ten
Things got a little fuzzy way back when
So we thanked him for a job well done
Told him "Be in touch, I gotta run!"
Never did I see him again
Sometimes I think he's my only true friend
Must've been midnight and I don't know
Time's long passed outside the window
Spikes and spires are all on fire
Crawl and climb let's get higher
You probably want us up and gone
Give us time and we will right them wrongs
But the devil knows which is which
Your past's a scratch that you can't itch
Someone started somethin
We didn't even know
Then our time had kicked in
That door became a hole
It's clear to me
It's clear to me now
Choose your little black shoes little Suzy, go
Show us how you do, shake rattle roll
Gladly I eat from the palm of your hand
My puppet strings at your command
Different space with different faces too
Whispering sweet nothings unto you
I tried to look but I couldn't see
I lost myself then I met me

One day we'll have an answer
Meanwhile try and rest your soul
Some say there's one way,
And all the rest should follow
One day, we'll know for sure
Fate's come and rung on your doorbell
Have you had enough of all them days gone by?
Some say that one way's the best lead to follow
One day we'll know for sure
I've been biding my time
Don't know how long for
I've been hiding in crimes
I never paid for
Deep down in my heart
Deep down in my soul
I dug me a hole
I've been waiting on trains
I've been sleeping on floors
And there's lions outside
I hear them scratch my door
Sometime's I do wonder
"What's at stake?
Is it maybe too late?"
That there officer
Isn't he great?
He helped you sleep at night
Made you feel safe
Well, that same officer
Tried to put me in chains
There's no name on his grave
Carson City, that ain't too far
I could saddle up
and find me a bar
A fortune in silver
And a woman's touch
The burden's too much
One day we'll have an answer
Meanwhile, try and rest your soul
Some say there's one way
And all the rest should follow
One day we'll know for sure
It's high time
And still without an answer
With a heavy heart
and eyes fixed on the sky
Some say there's one way
and let that path be narrow
One day they'll know for sure

Sea of Stars

Swimming in a sea of stars
Remember where you are
Milk drops fall apart together
Far away but like a tether
Thoughts like planets encircling
Orbits converse unending
My heart goes out to those
Who can't agree
Do you see what I see
Is this a dream?
Chain me to the earthen ground
My soul lifts still, unbound
I was forged by Mother Earth
And my reverence is its hearth
More than we can talk about
Smiles from the inside out
Time lets us all forget
That our miracle was heaven sent

Mind's Made Up
09:45
|

You once told me
To leave it all behind
Swallow your pride
Or you'll lose your mind
If hard times bring truth
Let me live a lie
I can't keep promises
But I sure can try
My mind's made up
But my heart's confused
One won't shut up
And the other's abused
A lioness
Came prancing in her dress
Smiling so sweetly
While making her big mess
But now that she's gone
I guess I'll clean it up
Make one big pile for her
Let her pick it up
My mind's made up
But my heart's confused
One won't shut up
And the other's abused
Some folks will say
That now he's old and gray
Seen far too many things
To hold on to his dreams
But with love comes truth
So let this truth be told
One king's ten thousand queens
Couldn't fix his soul
My mind's made up
But my heart's confused
One won't shut up
And the other's abused
My mind's made up
Yes, my heart it rings true
One won't put up
With the other's abuse
Holy Mother wrote
The same songs that we know
Oh, we know
It's hard to be alone
To see how far we've grown
Oh, we've grown
