Do you know what you’re asking for?
What you’ll find is an open door
Step on through
Get split in two
That’s the cost when you seek the truth
It’s different than before
But you still want more
In your darkest cave
Where you’ve been a slave
A dragon waits
And it knows your name
Lay down your shield
And all the weapons you wield
Venom kills what you could not heal
It’s different than before
But you still want more
One more side
You don’t have to hide
Anymore
Or?

I left the County just last Thursday
Couldn’t keep growing with leaving on my mind
It aint easy listening to the road
Gotta find myself a new way
To let somebody go
Across the Great Basin snow makes it slow
Like my expectations with nothing left to show
Shadows at the junction of 80 and I-5
Sickness in my mind, gonna have to stay the night
Find what I’m looking for won’t know for sure
Time aint mine to kill, waiting will fill
You know that everything can change
And never be the same
Me and my Manchild on the rich Berkeley Streets
A Moment Apart, gives us what we need
Stick around long enough just to give back
Give up what I got so that others can have
Find what I’m looking for won’t know for sure
Time aint mine to kill, waiting will fill
You know that everything can change
And never be the same
Find what I’m looking for won’t know for sure
Time aint mine to kill, waiting will fill
You know that everything can change
And never be the same

Creek of Tidal Waves

I couldn’t sleep, too many dreams
The night waits for me
I had to walk, found an old bridge
Smoking in the middle, the creek whispered
She’s gone
Don’t wait too long
It might be over
But at least you’re sober
The frost sparkled, moonlight danced
I found my way back on a different path
I went back to bed in my blue jeans
A mermaid came
And took me away
Saying
Can’t breath
Gotta let go of me
If you let me
Take you down
You might just drown
Dry Drunken soldier, just gettin’ older
We never learn till we transform
Just one more thing, listen to me sing
This little tune to the tidal wave
She’s gone
Don’t search too long
It might be over
But at least you’re sober
Can’t breath
Gotta let go of me
If you let me
Take you down
You might
Just drown

I never told you how lost I really fetl
When you took me to the airport
And we said it’d be alright
I fell in love with you every night
I’m afraid that has changed
If this aint “it”
I wonder what is
Now I’m lost for words
Do you still dream about us?
When you’re wide awake?
High up on the railroad
We’re going toe to toe
With the River of Lost Souls
We ride nice and steady
Not regretting anything
Looking over Durango, Colorado
We live on
If this aint “it”
I wonder what is
Now I’m lost for words
Do you still dream about us?
When you’re wide awake?
I know that we’re released to be anything
The bull in my heart
Made it hard to let go
Roll the credits
This is the ending
Juniper Tree, now we’re free
If this aint “it”
I wonder what is
Now I’m lost for words
Do you still dream about us/me?
When you’re wide awake?

Dancing with the Devil in the pale moonlight
Hard to control what I feel inside
Said “The clocks aint ticking when the Ocean sways
Time’s supposed to heal but the band still plays”
“You don’t see me, the way that I see me
And when we’re ready I may be gone”
Made a heavy sigh when I replied
“I fear the church is right; one lover for life
But the wolves don’t care about stereotypes
Howling at the moon, giving up that fight”
“You don’t see me, the way that I see me
And when we’re ready I may be gone
Take what you need give the rest to me
We get to choose what it means”
With a sideways glance the Devil just laughed
“No wrong paths if you don’t look back
Better not to kill a blind mans faith
All the pink clouds are lined up with bait”
“Iron’s in the fir, some yours and some mine
Changing up the tune on Mercury Dime”
When I rose to leave said “One more thing;
You still convinced I don’t exist?”
“You don’t see me, the way that I see me
And when we’re ready I may be gone
Take what you need
Give the rest to me
We get to choose what it means”
Storm is a coming, can we be still?
Standing up strong just for the thrill?

Children of the Night

Children of the Night
Way down in Mississippi
A child of the night was born
Dark as night and pale as moon
Rising from the rivers edge
Naive and swift, catch the beat, can’t miss
One step, then the next
One step, then the next
Through the shadows she walks
Creating life as she sings
About the cropholder’s curse of the truth laid bare
She kneels down to feel the earth blood as it heals
A memory revealed, A vision revealed
Let your mind believe in the love it cannot see
There is life in a dream, there is life in this dream
Beyond the fork and North of town
Where two children never drowned
Heart beats echo in the dark
Of the life they never found
The child walks on the bridge
One spark and it’s lit
A new sun begins, A new sun begins
Let your mind believe in the love it cannot see
There is life in a dream, there is life in this dream
The trees know the past, remember where we’re at
One step then the next, catch the beat can’t miss
One step then the next, catch the beat can’t miss
Let your mind believe in the love it cannot see
There is life in a dream, there is life in this dream

Seeing life through a looking glass
I wonder what I’m looking past
“Seems like you got some tunnel vision
There’s a whole world you might be missing”
“I’ve got a moment if you’ve got the time
You’ve got the time”
Living tough in a paper world
Aint no such thing as the perfect girl
“Taking all you’ve got just to get on through
Sometimes you aren’t sure what to do”
“I’ve got a moment if you’ve got the time
You’ve got the time”
Thought I saw your face in another lover
Wish that I could make it last forever
“You see the forest for the trees
Maybe there is only you and me?”
“I’ve got a moment if you’ve got the time
You’ve got the time”
“You’ve got time”

When the pain starts taking your mind
And feels like you’re wasting your time
When pain starts taking your mind
And it feels you’re wasting your time
Call on our Soul
When I thought I had nothing
I still had You
When i thought I had nothing
I still had You
Call on your Soul
Call on your Soul
Your heart need not bleed
Cause love never really leaves
Your heart need not bleed
Cause love never really leaves
Calling All Souls
Calling All Souls
Remember Who You Are
Remember Who You Are
