Get You Through

If you want it to be
you can come get you
less feeling and possibly
something to get you through

the days that grow in ways
that you can't sleep through
(now you won't sleep too)

If you'll ever feel the same
you should come get you
the feeling of being complete
just to get you through

the days that grow in ways
that you can't sleep through
now you won't sleep too

The days they
get away and
you lose track of
what they meant
nothing comes
of believing you're lost

you're lost
your loss

'the love she had for me'

She can't say
what she's been thinking
and I'm awake
I don't bother sleeping
It's too late
another lover leaving
I can't reclaim
any of the love she had for me

She stays at home in tears
broken frames are suvinears
holding pictures of us in eachother's arms

and throughout the years
these photos never fade or smear
but the sweet nothings turn to yawns

when she can't say
what she's been thinking
then I'm awake
I don't bother sleeping
it's too late
another lover leaving
I can't reclaim
any of the love she had for me

Could this be our last chance
does love come back; is there romance?
Is there re-incarnation of the heart

If so, I'll brace the stance
as lover's hands would understand
if they were ever pulled apart

as these opportunistic indeferences pull us apart

That's a new song
but you should give one of these throw-backs a listen

She      can't    say
what she's been thinking
and     I'm    awake
I don't bother sleeping
It's   just    too   late
another lover leaving
I      can't   reclaim
any of the love she had for me

Just     R e l a x

Woke from a dream
in the middle of the morning
Two feet to beat
a downpour of storming
in a memory
of a drowning New Orleans
lost between
the sounds of thunderous warnings

and as I    slipped
off to take the    last breaths
all of the   fish
looked at me   and said

Take     deep        breaths
you'll be ok
just         r e l a x
your in a dream

Vision imprinted
on the back of my eye lids
ditchin all my tension
flying through the sky did
I ever mention
at the growth of demension
of shooting
at the stars
just discards
your emissions

and as a slip
off to take the last hit
the gental scent
whispered to me
and said

Take     deep        breaths
you'll be ok
just         r e l a x
your in a dream

in the clouds
what's that I see
more souls floating home
in a white
limousine

[ Go Go growclose ]

We said "I see
you wanna hurt me
you wanna come and
tear my world apart

strand by strand
every grain of sand
you'd like to send
me back to the start"

I'll go go
cause I can't seem to change
grow close
You'll see,
I'm not the same

old guy you knew
I'm more in tune
and a little more confused
but day by day
I find the strength
I find the motiva-
tion to get back to you

I'll go go
Don't say things never change
grow close
you'll see,
I'm not the same

dime a dozen
when your lovin
runs like blood in
my deluted veins
intericate
how it slowly vents
these i-
llusions in my brain

Give me a year
of change

[just relax]

Woke from a dream
in the middle of the morning
Two feet to beat
a downpour of storming
in a memory
of a drowning New Orleans
lost between
the sounds of thunderous warnings

and as I    slipped
off to take the    last breaths
all of the   fish
looked at me   and said

Take deep breaths
you'll be ok
just r e l a x
your in a dream

[EDIT] ....touched up the last song.
here's the final lyrics on that one.....

[The Earth Beneath Your Feet]

We can grown in touch
with the earth beneath your feet
and the stars they blink
rhythmically
and fall within our reach...

Start taking tactical advances
cause we aint got wealth
and with our health we take chances
there aint no help
stomachs cramping by the masses
so why the hell
aint there cans in their cabinets
well
man I can't stand this
knowing that I'm part of the damage

what hurts worse than a baby's cries to eat?
I'll lose sleep, ya'll just focus on your greed.
Weeping eyes still see
and I can read the lies
on your lips so speak
the sultry spirit of a love so deep
so please hear it with these words I preach
I believe

You can grown in touch
with the earth beneath your feet
and the stars they blink
rhythmically
and fall within your reach

Another rhythm lost
a trash can full of lyrics I've tossed
guess I wanted more
waited so long
now the sun shines
through the blinds
on the wall

What luster in a soul
when everything that you touch
becomes spiritual?
turn coper in to gold
spoon bends and bow
in tune with wind you send and control
now you know

You can grown in touch
with the earth beneath your feet
and the stars they blink
rhythmically
and fall within your reach

Tropical temptress
take a sip off her lips
I love the citrus
days slip, endless
lulling of my senses
but it's not like I
couldn't bare witness
I stay fit with
undying interest
for my rainforest princess
the sparkling mist is
now left defenseless
so don't cut her down
she's all they got
in Ghana now.

You've grown in touch
with the earth beneath your feet
and the stars they blink
rhythmically
and fall within your reach...

A song about how far we've fallin
and how we could rise up.

[The Earth Beneath Your Feet]

You've grown in touch
with the earth beneath your feet
and the stars they blink
rhythmically
and fall within your reach...

Start taking tactical advances
cause we aint got wealth
and with our health we take chances
there's no help
stomachs starving by the masses
why the hell aint there cans in their cabinets
well I can't stand this
knowing that we're all part of the damage

what hurts worse than a babies cries to eat?
I'll loose sleep, you'all just focus on your greed.
Innocent eyes still see
and I can read the lies
on your lips so speak
the sultry spirit of a love so deep
so please hear it with these words I preach
I believe

You can grow in touch
with the earth beneath your feet
and the stars they blink
rhythmically
and fall within your reach

Another rhythm lost
a trash can full of lyrics I've tossed
guess I wanted more
but waited too long
now the sun shines
through the blinds on the wall
one heart one soul
when everything that you touch
becomes spiritual
that's inner gold
just so you'd know
there's a lot more to this than I wrote

So grow in touch
with the earth beneath your feet
and the stars they blink
rhythmically
and fall within your reach

Sparkling mistress
take a sip off her lips
I love the citrus
days slip, endless
lulling of my senses
but it's not like I
couldn't bare witness
I stay fit with
undieing interest
for my rainforest princess
my strawberry temptress
is left defenseless
so don't cut her down
she's all they got
in Ghana now.

You've grown in touch
with the earth beneath your feet
and the stars they blink
rhythmically
and fall within your reach...

A song about social tells...
everyone has a defense mechanism
mine is to laugh at everything and make jokes

[another defense mechanism]

I guess it shows up
when the tide's low, love
and all these waves
gather weight
and pull me in
with the same old grin
in your defense
you thought you'd never need

another defense mechanism
to protect
another perfect first impression
you present
with pretentious
innocence

oh I wanna know
why you don't show
yourself no more
[my friend]

well you come undone
once I'm wound-up
in this mortal crave
which gathers weight
as you pull me in
cause that same old grin
is my weakness
you swore I'd never be

another defense mechanism
to protect
another perfect first impression
you present
with pretentious
innocence

I guess I am a writing machine...
here's one more song
I'm working on.

[Her Voodoo]

She lights her red candles
she stares in to the flame
Her body bends as though
she can feel no pain
and as she moves
all the light fades across the room
and I'm held in the spell of
her voo-doo

Here's better subject matter
my vision dims and scatters
with every word she say in tounges
I feel more in love
she talks sweet and sinfully
and turns innocent quickly
I feel her flowing into me
making my fingertips numb.

Taking my breaths
skipping these steps
fogetting the risks
I take in you

I'm skipping my breaths
fogetting the steps
ignoring the risk
I take in you

don't blink too soon
see to believe in her rule
smile - while held in the spell of
her voo-doo

this energy corresses me
I'm left defensless and she
can see the the pleas
inside of these
breaths I take come up empty
and oooo how she moves her body
with you hottie, prolly
no better geography
best bet
I won't forget
girl, you got me

making
My one last wish
move like a jellyfish
one last stinging kiss
move like a jellyfish

girl
shake yo
tenecals

I have fun with the end there...
haha
Studio should be up in another day or two
I'm working on droping the mic from the ceiling
so it can hang and not have a mic stand.
booo for mic stands.
