Lavender Upon Her Pillow 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Heedless of consequence We dived into the ocean Of our love The currents taking us We know not where Finally we came ashore On some far island Of devotion And there we built a home And built a life We lay together side by side Lavender upon her pillow And there together We explored The body and the mind But seasons change And so did we Desire to be together Turns to Desire to be free We watched the dark clouds gather And the storm tore us apart A tsunami in love's ocean And a changing of the heart We thought it was forever But forever's never true Lavender upon my pillow Memories of you

I'll make it right I'll make it up to you Everything has gone so wrong I didn't see it for so long But now that I've Seen the light I'm gonna make it right Make it right Make it right Make it right When did our souls turn so dark When did we lose our spark But now that I Recognise I'm gonna make it right Make it right Make it right Make it right Gonna make it up Gonna make it right Yes, now that I've Seen the light I'm gonna make it right Make it right Make it right Make it right

And the Birds Flew Away 04:09
lyrics
buy track
And into the forest The new man came With axes and fire and plans To build in a clearing That never was there To transform the land with his hands Chorus/ And the birds flew away They haven't returned to this day Their home is defiled. Their song silent falls Still the man he delves deep in the clay The forest is burned Down to the ground For grazing and cropland and town The engine of commerce The drumbeat of war The man works the land for the crown C/ And now there's a city Of glass and steel With TV and neon and cars And man artificial Surveys his domain Looks to the screen not the stars And the birds flew away They haven't returned to this day Their habitat lost. Their song never heard Uncaring the man turns away

Human 02:49
lyrics

A body cries out For affection A body crumbles From rejection A soul prays for Absolution A soul desires Resolution A mind is craving Information A mind fomenting Revolution But they don't want a man Who's fully human So they try to turn us into Machines But they don't need a man Who's fully human So the system turns us into Machines Machines

A Star is Falling 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Love is a shooting star That only flies If your heart and mind Keep willing it to Otherwise That love will die My love, sweet Annabel Her eyes are blue Her heart untrue Gave up on us, so I surmise Our love will die Chorus/ And a star is falling From the sky To the breaking of the morning And our last goodbye Farewell, sweet Annabel Our star must wane No love remains You said we're through, and We've decided Love has died C/

Post-truth Love Song 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Ain't inertia a bitch? Keeps you where you just Don't wanna be With someone that you should ditch Keeps you held captive Instead of free A life like Stockholm syndrome And we're held hostage To the past Going through the motions Say the right words Stoic and steadfast Chorus/ And if it's believed by you Does it matter if it's true When I say I love you Why would you want the truth When you can hear A comfortable lie A phrase designed to sooth No arguments No need to say good bye C/ I lie, lie, lie, lie love you

Let's Build a Wall / Bridges Not Walls 06:32
lyrics
buy track
1. Let's Build a Wall There's something sinister About what's going on Making our neighbours feel like They just don't belong Racial divisions and Culture wars Tell me what the end game is What's it all for Chorus/ (And they say) More segregation That's what we need Let's build a wall, baby Let's build a wall You say things aren't working And that I'll concede But the solutions being peddled Are out to mislead There is no golden age To which we can retreat Just vested interests And a matrix of deceit C/ So at this turning point As we teeter on the brink Is it too much to ask that You just stop and think About how rights, hard Fought for in the past Are being stripped away Without us being asked C/ Let's build a wall 2. Bridges Not Walls We've got to come together We've got to come together If we want to save it all This is a time for building bridges Not erecting walls Old and young We've got to come together Black and white We've got to come together Female or male We've got to come together Belief or none We've got to come together The whole 99 percent We've got to come together We've got to come together If we want to save it all This is a time for building bridges Not erecting walls

Pulled From the Fire 04:33
lyrics

Ain't no denying it These are dark, dark days Catastrophe's calling And hope is slipping away We stand on the precipice And we stare over the edge But down below the tide is turning And our souls are refreshed Chorus/ Pulled from the fire Live another day A time for second chances Find a better way The power ranged against us Is dreadful to behold Keeps us weak and divided Spied on and controlled But if we come together Make a stand for common cause Then empires can crumble And we'll see demagogues fall C/ Pulled from the fire Live another day A time for second chances Now we've found the way

It Isn't Over Yet 02:34
lyrics
buy track
Slow ... The pace is winding down For this carnival of sound But there's gems still to be found Fade ... The last note fades away Like the dying of the day Chorus/ No Don't go Wait a little longer 'Cause it isn't over yet Words ... Getting harder all the time To find the one that rhymes But I've got to make it mine Sound ... The filter's closing fast But no need to be downcast C/ No Don't go Stay a little longer 'Cause it isn't over yet
