Stillness

Open pastures under gray sky
It could rain any second now
Time stands still
Looks like the sun will never shine again
Billie Holiday in the background
On a late February eve
As we drink to this moment
“Stormy Weather “
Has cast its spell
Rain drops hang in the air
We aren’t going no where
wind swirls all around
Warm and content we laugh to ourselves
And I know you feel it too
The compassion cutting through
Existence in your presence
Makes me feel alive

Home

Trade winds blow across the ocean
Floating backward in slow motion
This is where our seeds are sown
Our tiny emerald Home
The scent of flowers in the air
Upon their beauty I stop to stare
This is how our roots have grown
Our jade covered Home
They say “no man is an island”,
This place is a part of me
Enchanted world rising up from the sea
No where I would rather be
Mountains shrouded in mist
More shades of green then you know exist
Where rain comes pouring down
Surrounded by ocean
As far as the eye can see
Living in clear water
Sets the me free
Cool island breeze, in the setting sun
Listen to the waves, as night's begun
This is why my heart returns
To our humble home
Enshrouded in her misty veil
From shoreline sands to mountain trail
Let her majesty be known
Beautiful Kauai our home

Secrets
04:17
|

|
All the secrets that you swore you buried
But we both know that you still carry
The weight of growing up too fast
Running from a fucked up past
Like a convict on the lam
They follow you around
Years of hiding out
Some day you’ll be found
There’s no escape
Till your underground
Changed your name
Put up those walls
Stolen persona
Screen all their calls
Eating you alive
As you took the fall

Disconnect
03:46
|

|
Is it just me or did the phone stop ringing years ago?
World spins fast, my mind won’t slow
haven’t heard your voice in so long now
Don’t know what went wrong
Nobody picks up my calls anymore
When I sit alone some days I think of you
Is this distance all in my head?
Out of sight, out of mind
We could laugh about the past
About how we are, so distracted now
Days just slipping away
Miss the lack of responsibility
hope the next time we hang out
It’s just like yesterday
But I know it won’t be
Out of sight, out of mind
Days just slipping away

Voices
03:55
|
|||
|
Voices that you hear
send shivers down your spine
Try to move forward
but your brains on rewind
Perhaps some wires have gotten crossed
Spend your time thinking about
All that you’ve lost
Do Demons haunt your head?
At night as you lie in bed
Thinking of all the things
You should have said ( but didn’t )
Don’t let the past, define your future
Those old wounds, can be sutured
The victim of your own story
Always keeping inventory
Of all the ways that people hurt you
Why can’t we forgive ourselves?
Let go of the past
We all got scars that last
And they ain’t going nowhere

Rise
03:25
|
|||
|
Sometimes it feels like, this worlds been cursed
Everything going in reverse
Brain-dead culture, driving us insane
Become addicted to numb the pain
So many people see in black and white
Pretending to know what is right
Lost in a sea of distraction
So many voices, but no action
Standing idle by
Watching our home die
Not ready to say goodbye
We will rise
Weathers been shit for days
My mind stuck in a haze
Wandering through, an endless maze
Won’t drown in apathy
Open minds can see
Potential tragedy
In the making
