Change Will Come

Nails, planks
You boarded it tight
Barbed wire
Not a thing can get out or in
Parapets on a wall to the sky
Anything coming found out and shot on site
Friends? What?
You figured it out
No one around
No one to bring your guard down
Take a toke, soften your eyes
Wake to smoke and your fortress on fire, oh
Change will come
When you've made your peace
Up comes your foundation, oh
Change will come
But maybe not one you like
Job, jail
Middle life hormones
Fucked for fun
Now you're fucked when your spouse gets home
Love, love
Love, oh damn love
Tiptoe, circumvent 'till it grabs a hold
Old lies
They come back to bite
Drinks and drugs drag you by all fours to their side
Jesus don't even have your back
Leaves you for the hounds the moment you slack, oh

It's a long road
Winding through
Forests of old
Sacred clues
Pointing you
In directions you can't be sure you've ever been before
In directions you can't be sure you should pursue
In directions regarded as insane to take full-hearted
Rendering yourself departed from all you once knew
Everyday you wake
You know when sunlight breaks
Everyday you wake
You gotta get down to
Picking up your sword and fighting all your days for
A grail, a proof, a truth
It's a long road
Thick with haze
Trap doors unfold
Into mazes of delay
Others few:
Find reason or rhyme or time to find a way out of
Find reason or rhyme or time to pursue
Find reason or rhyme to negotiate each dip and climb of
Rendering themselves confined to life lost and confused
Everyday you wake
You know when sunlight breaks
Everyday you wake
You gotta get down to
Picking up your sword and fighting all your days for
A grail, a proof, a truth
Everyday you wake
You know that time may place
Diamonds in the darkness
Where Hobgoblins rule
Picking up your sword and fighting all your days for
A grail, a proof, a truth

This Place
04:24
|

|
Hundreds of waves crash into the rocks
A near full silver moon hangs on a backdrop
Of chartreuse hues to lapis lazuli blues
Crimson streaks and deep fuschia blots
Seagulls surf on a steady, long breeze
The air smells of driftwood and blooms of algae
'Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us'
Charms my mind into a state of reverie
Like sucking air into a bottomless lung
The smoothest, deepest inhale to me comes
I feel a teardrop formulate on my face
I crawl out of my doubt to live all out in this place
I found a new bounce carrying me
Through streets adorned with confounding human energy
From the fumes to the vrooms, the neon lit rooms
And all the characters in between
They would have once brought fear stricken thoughts
That all the buzz around formed a formidable block
Which could not be negotiated, abated
Or busted as long as ticks the clock
Like traveling back twenty years time
I see my life flash before my eyes
My damnedest influences all disintegrate
I crawl out of my doubt to live all out in this place
Followed the road of a cemetery
Twisting through rows of tombs speckled with blue LED
Where the doom and gloom, grief and loss consume
Even the most hardened of bodies
Try as I might I can't take this on
Responsibility for what's come and gone
Memories seed and sprout, bloom, endure through drought
But perish forever before long
Like giving earth back what wasn't mine
I feel my control of destiny die
Simply us, the young and old, orbiting though space
I crawl out of my doubt to live all out in this place.

Well My Boy
03:47
|
|||
|
On a winding road down
In a California town
Avocado groves round
A persimmon orchard ground
Flashed my eyes
Stirred my soul
Woefully blinded their dogma I chose
Well my boy
You bought what we sold
For not a nickel or a dime
Just your eternal time
Well my boy
Our prophet has told
You give your toil and your strife
Get eternal life
Give on up your home now
You don't need them anyhow
Your name and reason don't count
To nothing they'll only amount
In our plight
In our goal
To claim as our property your body and soul
Bridge:
Whoa baby
I sound crazy
But I was so damn confused
Whoa momma
Their snake charmer ways
They washed my brain
There was not a thing that I could do

Levity
02:41
|
|||
|
Laughing, crying all night long
No cocaine, wine, beer or bongs
Oh, your company is all this earth child needs
The world makes sense, nature sings songs
I can feel all right from wrong
Oh, with my head in your hands I'll follow where you lead
Oh, levity
Living in your levity
Well I'm living my life in your sweet light
Floating in your levity
When you're whispering all your thoughts
Into my head I get warm shots
Oh, through my body an otherworldly energy
I know you can't stay too long
So get on your way. Go. Be gone
I'll call you back when I feel in me
A compulsive need
To be...
In your levity
Living in your levity
Well I'm living my life in your sweet light
Floating in your levity
