Undeniable dreams with unpredictable themes have taken your art Your canvas has washy art it’s all at odds with all that you aren’t Calm lift your hands look up there’s a world you’ve never seen and lady luck You half smiled being lost Said all the routes are this rough You half smiled being lost 
Said all the routes are this rough As the candles burn the ship down there’s enough light to see you hit a rock You were always right there where the land met the ocean Undeniable strings from the puppet master been dangling broken You can’t really cross your heart keep all of your promises alarmed Calm lift the hands high look up there’s a world you’ve never seen and lady luck You half smiled being lost Said all the routes are this rough You half smiled being lost 
Said all the routes are this rough As the candles burn the ship down there’s enough light to see you hit a rock You were always right there where the land met the ocean Undeniable dreams with unpredictable themes have taken your art Your canvas has washy art it’s all at odds with all that you aren’t Calm lift your hands look up there’s a world you’ve never seen and lady luck You half smiled being lost Said all the routes are this rough You half smiled being lost 
Said all the routes are this rough As the candles burn the ship down there’s enough light to see you hit a rock You were always right there where the land met the ocean

There’s a rattling on philosophy going on each day inside of everybody Stumbling on the outside to make it all seem all right At night all the different dreams of the world erase In light forms and waves, down enemies Down in the city daylight is forgetting that sky held it up all year Down in the city daylight is forgiving that sky held it up all year There’s a rattling on philosophy tonight Inside inside but I like It’s hard to see on the outside what’s happening A river in me i can’t swim it’s too deep At night all the different dreams of the world eraser To drown in the waves, erase enemies Down in the city daylight is forgetting that sky held it up all year Down in the city daylight is forgiving that sky held it up all year

Rust Away 03:08
I am a busted piece of some anger that washed upon the shores of your life My Emily I will wash away We weather in the long run weather in the long run I’ll weather in the long run What’s real will take the tide My Emily I will rust away I am a rusted piece of some anchor that washed upon the world of weak beliefs My Emily I will wash away I’ll weather in the long run It’s real but time will win My Emily I will wash away I am a broken piece of whatever The world’s storms overpowered in a fight And I will fly once the wind is strong again I’ll weather in the long run It’s real but real don’t last My Emily I will rust away I’m a rust away

Nashville 02:54
A sign’s swaying gently from side to side while confessions in the air fill the songwriter dive bar This one thing I loved shot me down I sat staring at it w that silly flat frown for a decade yeah Til I stood on the the shoulders of life as a stage I’ve learned the east and west of ways So Nashville won’t you take my soul I’ve thrown your story book out I’m just here willing to see how I uplift I thought we would write a hit but I brought my bitter heart and fist to eat Were you even wondering - My life since has kept me sane You can’t let it throw you you can’t get down You just let the sun shine through your cloud We stand on the world and on the same ground and when lightning hits it shocks us all out loud If I’m getting older nothing will change I’ll sing my songs when I’m 93 So Nashville won’t you take my soul I’ve thrown your story book out I’m just here willing to see how I uplift I thought we would write a hit but I brought my bitter heart and fist to eat Were you even wondering - My life since has kept me sane

Someone sent you a letter from the equator A hungry alligator found it and ate it Gotta let it go A message in a bottle I read in the newspaper there’s a parade later For falling out of favor with the president instated Oh you gotta let it go Like a message in a bottle Lalala There’s always a receiver On every piece of soul On everything that we know A message in a bottle Doesn’t matter if you get it or someone else does The energy has a transfer I won’t be the one yeah Oh you gotta let it go Like a message in a bottle Oh you gotta let it go Like a message in a bottle

Magic 03:16
I been feeding a little bird in the snow He said it’s time to fly back to Mexico Sounded good I woke up but I got out of bed Spun around a couple times realized my magic is missing Where to go Where to go to find magic Can’t hold a ladder to that lighthouse to just get up there would be magic Where to go where to go to find magic Don’t panic or lie that don’t rescue That’s against the laws of magic THere’s a logic to finding magic Follow how magic would think yeah I been solving game shows from the couch My feet up on the book of Wiccan moon forces It sounds good to wake up and snap out of it I used to look at the sky and light would tie my shoelaces Where to go Where to go to find magic Can’t hold a ladder to that lighthouse to just get up there would be magic Where to go where to go to find magic Don’t panic or lie that don’t rescue That’s against the laws of magic There’s a logic to finding magic Follow how magic would think yeah I was feeding that little bird in the snow He said it’s time to go back to the world Magic will wake up when you don’t care because Love and lack of it are the same illusion dear

I wrote a letter to myself Ego read over my shoulder Said we will put that on a shelf We’re full of insight I been looking through my ego Trying hard to find me But I’ll have to burst the bubble it’s floating away in I’m gonna be nobler after this reflection I’ll heed empowerment philosophies let my birthdays pass My shadow bought this mountain was never sharp as the peak All about driving around in circles Above everyone dizzy Higher than the average kite Needs more water wind and light So you try to push yourself along with so much will and fight I’ve been realizing my ego doesn’t want to find me Gonna have to burst your bubble You floated away in it I’m gonna be nobler after this reflection Feed empowerment philosophies as birthdays pass My shadow bought this mountain while I was sharpening the peaks My shadow bought this mountain was never sharp as the peak All about riding around in circles Above everyone dizzy I wrote a letter to myself Ego took it I saw nothing Gotta put it on the shelf We need insights I’m realizing that your ego Doesn’t wanna find you Gonna have to burst its bubble it’s floated away in

Ingenuity 02:43
Last Tuesday I told my heart this was it The battle of love hurt and made a liar out of me I was wandering round this town running low on power With light proof glasses No more heart racing thinking things could turn out like I planned
Trying to build a boat from a ladder and said off to another land Vision clouded and Ingenuity can punch through life’s false ceilings Adjust your head Watch your thinking engine get your thoughts original Ingenuity starts firing again And those thoughts within that were bound in pity their power will heal anything It’s a pitiful trick all these ancient foolish myths Created lies to prevent any mystics Say 13 is a bad number Adjusted measurements Show the motion of planets things that happen Natural in them They try to change it all so we’d unattach to women and love Demand to find your Ingenuity Puncture through life’s false ceilings Adjust your head Watch your thinking engine make your thoughts original Ingenuity will fire again And those thoughts within that got bound in pity they’re powerful and can heal anything

You’re a mystic changeling Who hustles seeds of light from another deep dimension Thought Earth looked fun You blow out your birthday cake candles light the neighborhood cause you’re 87 I called the maker of our home sun Said the courage of a body will wear out You’re love you’ll get another one Don’t hurry back home You were dropped in this dizzy drum To have a time to feel life and time moves on You’re love you’ll get another one Don’t hurry back home Don’t hurry back now We’re all on this raging sea our thoughts are oily muck They degrade with the elements as time wears on So know the secret is within keep the anger out of thoughts expressed And you’’ll live here for long I called the maker of our home sun Said the courage of a body will wear out You’re love you’ll get another one Don’t hurry back home You were dropped in this dizzy drum To have a time to feel life and time moves on You’re love you’ll get another one Don’t hurry back home Don’t hurry back now

If life is driving a truck I think mine is stuck How oil feels on canvas has lost all of me now I’m in my head today As I hold a place I been living in a house of cards and lighting matches They’re burning right out I been living in a house of cards while lighting matches They’re burning right out All fires need winds to see the air of possibilities leaving A fire of heart I’m in my head today As my holy place I been living in a house of cards and lighting matches They’re burning right out I been living in a house of cards while lighting matches They’re burning right out

I’m alright if you look at me with dark ire I’ve rescued my heart and my ego from a fire They cooled off and I found gold in stone Gold inside of stone Really thought it needed lacquer But it was being looked after by a fool who didn’t realize it was gold Push / The pressure on not realizing that we out of tune We keep rolling love takes off the edges though you see who you are inside that stone Cool off and you’ll find gold in stone gold inside a stone We don’t really need a lacquer just realize we’re looked after by a fool Who doesn’t realize what is gold We’re all like that we’re gold in stone gold inside of stone Thinking that we need a lacquer we’re really looked after By this fool who doesn’t realize we are gold

Feel Nothing 03:31
I’m here to find me a pond tho I’m a sea of fish that’s what love is like to me here Where are the warriors fighting for cheap hotels to follow their heart where it lived Searchers who feel nothing Let us get high on the rock n roll they leave here In a monkey can you see now monkey go and do we gravity hide I don’t know how to stand there and be who I am inside We are warrior fighting for cheaper wills than the ones we started with Searchers who feel nothing Let us get high on the rock n roll they leave here Need to find me a pond tho I’m a sea of fish is what is like to me I guess I’m a warrior fighting for cheap hotels to follow my heart when it left Searchers who feel nothing Let us get high on the rock n roll they leave here

Emerson 02:49
Don’t wanna be one of your philosophy prisoners Held here in your chapel I’m glad that your hero has risen But I’m not guilty for it I feel your energy of fire and brimstone Makes my rocket ship fail Won’t put that thinking in my engine Tonight I will refill it with The words of Emerson The real force of love Feeding light to mystic minds if you see that in human eyes You might visions of love Don’t need to carry your upside down horseshoe or cross to make me feel I’m not ill Superstitions you just need to be healthy I feel your energy of fire and brimstone Makes my rocket ship fail Won’t put that thinking in my engine Tonight I will refill it with The words of Emerson The real force of love Feeding light to mystic minds if you see that in human eyes You are a vision of love Feeding light to mystic minds if you see that in the human mind You might visions of love The words of Emerson Are what I’ve seen of love Feeding light to mystic minds if you see that in human eyes You are a vision of love You might have a smidge here of love

Elevator 02:33
One hell of a rule maker Just makes up words To calm this place down You use your energy Hoping for hate to pour down On those you don’t want to know How they love I got alternate path to heal the world I’ll take the stairs to the clouds Look out the elevators are broken down I have an energy in me flying They said it was cursed Now I am a bolt of lightning cause I put it in reverse Not watering down who I really know I got alternate path to heal the world I’ll take the stairs to the clouds Look out the elevators are broken down (Music)

I Love You 02:53
I’ve always chased the weather when it’s cold I head south til June I taped my whole life together with paper sticks and glue But push shove in a little town I woke up different I do all these things I’d never choose Cause I love you I’d get fooled by that roller coaster With no seat belts or rules I was happy if I made it through all the cork screws Push shove in a little town I woke up a lion Doing these things I’d never choose Cause I’ve loved you Oh oh hold me closer on a roller coaster for two Oh oh hold me closer on a roller coaster and we’re still fools Push shove in a little town I woke up shining Doing these things I’d never choose Cause I’ve loved you

Wasted Time 03:29
In a little swimming pool I’ve gone down with a shipwreck I hold on to the mast to make it look effortless Back floating fool I look up at a rocket ship of dreamers in the sky The circus came to town I went everywhere it went it made me feel I was going somewhere I guess Back and forth on that bus I needed to keep my soul quiet It’s the end of the ride I’m here waiting for the punchline but the jokers nervous and Standing on a frozen leg that long ago melted Was a hero in this town went out there to be rich I wish I had a dime for every minute I wasted time From my pocket there I pull out a dollar and buy a match Find a cigarette of hope and smoke til I can see my breath Back to the room I grew up in to think of what’s next Life is a rambling lion I’m here waiting for the punchline but the joke’s grown nervous and Standing on a frozen leg that long ago melted Was a hero in this town went out there to be rich I wish I had a dime for every minute I wasted time
