FILL MY CUP

It’s 6 am again and i’m trying to get all of it down
I’m waking up again to the frequence in this sequence of sound
And true to the waters below my river runs more quick when its hot
But I take it minute by minute just to handle what’s in it
Catch the angle to untangle the knot

All I ever get to say doesn’t matter anyway
Perfect little make believe took me to the heaven on the sea
All I ever want to say doesn’t matter anyway
Perfect little make believe made it so I took you into me

Chorus
You fill my cup (I could fill your garden)
And it wets the floor (I could fill your garden)
You fill my cup (I could fill your garden)
Doesn’t hurt anymore (I could fill your garden)

It’s 6 am again and the black dots buzz
In my head I’m waking up again to the
quaking and the breaking of bread
Cause true ...

FIREFLY

Life brings me back
back to nowhere
life takes me where
where there’s a place
so when we find life again
do this for me my friend
when we find life again
do this for for me

chorus:
teach me to love
teach me to sing
teach me to dance with these golden strings
and teach me to burn
like the fireflies
teach me to light the dark
quiet sky

she breaks my heart
heart of no kind
but she asks of me
a kind true heart
so when we find life again
do this for me my friend
when we find life again
do this for me

chorus 2:
teach me to walk
teach me to run
teach me to thank the golden sun
and teach me to burn
like the firefly
teach me to light the dark
quiet sky

FOR THE PEOPLE

There was a time when the people would sit and pout
they said, “I don’t wanna figure it out”
It was a time when the people would b*tch a lot
they said, “I don’t wanna figure it out”

Chorus
But I am my own revival
I am my own resolve
I am my own revival
you can go out and be your own

There was a time when the people were living fast
they said, “I don’t wanna miss this race”
It was a time when the people came out dead and last
they said, “Now I can’t show my face”

Chorus

Bridge
And ain’t it a shame!
We’re so ashamed
but don’t be ashamed!
Don’t be ashamed

There was a time when the people would swim in debt
they said, “I can’t really live without”
It was a time when the people had to get and get
they said, “we can’t really live without”

Chorus

Bridge

There came a time when the people would lo...

GOOD AS GOLD

Tear me up if you want to
I have nothing left to say
Tear me down if you have to
I was breaking anyways

Tell a lie, it can’t hurt me
So and so with such and such
To tell the truth, it’s all empty
And I can only take so much

What good is gold to one who only wears silver
What good is silver to one who only treasures brass
I ask my myself but my heart it only beats bewildered
And what good’s a heart if it’s only made of glass
It’s as good as gold

I’ve always been a great big fan of justice
It’s just its always had a price
sometimes we get lost in the lines between our sense of judgment
so judgment’s never as precise

I wish we all had a little curiosity
Maybe just a little more
I wish we wouldn’t be so quick to pick what we believe in
And miss the good things knocking at the door cause

What g...

GREY GIRL

Grey girl
Somebody ate your soul
No bite, just swallowed whole
Somebody ate your soul

Grey girl
Hustler sold you a line
That bargain made you blind
Hustler sold you a line

Suck on that empty bottle please until it milks you
I don’t know what to think but time, it’s gonna get you

Grey girl
I think you think you’re hot
Or just something you’re not
Maybe you’re nothing

Grey girl
There’s something up your sleeve
You come and then you leave
There’s something up your sleeve

You take the hits in bits that break you til you’re tender
You get your fix for kicks but one day you’ll surrender
Grey girl

GUITAR BLUE

Sometimes the colors bleed to brown, they can’t be found
Just like this old guitar always hanging around
but Blue is my guitar

On the sun risen swamp he sits of the cold river water he drinks
Blue, guitar blue
An old star for the likes of you, he says

Chorus
Sometimes the colors bleed
All to brown they can’t be found
Just like this old guitar
Always talking to me and hanging around

And Red is my guitar
of my body’s given blood she drinks,
On the living dying embers she waits
Red, guitar red
She kills the demons runnin round inside my head

Chorus

Bridge
I found myself inside the muddy rivers runnin to the blood red sea
I found myself inside the guitar cave of a great oak tree
I found my fingers dancin on the silver strings from a silver dream

Green is my guitar
From the emerald grass you gr...

HAPPY ENOUGH

Am I happy enough for you now?
Am I happy enough for you now?
Would you pass me by
If it seems I’m just a little shy?
Am I happy enough for you now?

Chorus
Well I’m happy enough

Well I am what I am, yeah it’s true
And I don’t have to look just like you
When I sing my song,
If like it you can sing along
But you don’t have to sing just like me
And I don’t have to look just like you

Chorus

Well I know what I know, that is all
When I go where I go, I may fall
But if I stop for you,
I’ll forget what I was born to do
So I’ll go where I know
Yeah you go where you know

Chorus

HEY SISTER

Hey there sister
Where do you think you belong?
Hey sister, I’m here to help you along
I’ve spoken words and I’ve written some down
And I’ve used my feet to paint the ground
But don’t be fooled, I’m a lot like you
I’ve got a lot to learn, much to prove

Hey there sister, do you ever wonder why
Hey sister, I’ll bet you’ve more dreams than tears a cloud could cry
Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be taken aback,
Don’t let the sorrow of 10,000 set you off track
A world is there. You are here
Got to look beyond to see what’s clear

As the crow flies above
Keep your sight set on love
If the rain comes down
Don’t get stuck in the mud
And see the lives that others have known
But don’t be afraid to find
Your own way in this world

And I’m here for you

Hey there sister
Who do you think you are?

Chorus

IN THE WILD

In the wild it is said they will cut off your head
and tear you apart ’til you know
The great grizzly will growl and the wolves will howl
and somewhere inside you know

Chorus:
O’er the land, understand
roots will find you where you stand

There are fields that lie deep, with gold in their feet
and through the mountains you’ll seep ‘til you know
The great grizzly will growl and the wolves will howl
and somewhere inside you know

Chorus

O’er the land, understand
without us you cannot stand

Now this wild may look tame though it rages as flame
and burns through your soul where you know
The great grizzly will growl and the wolves will howl
and somewhere inside you know

Chorus

They will welcome you home with blood and bones
their cries are your own you know
The great grizzly will growl and the w...

JUGGERNAUT

I don’t wanna fight you
I’m just gonna slice you
Like the juggernaut who spliced through
The atoms of your mind coup

It ain’t even about you
Or your effervescing juju
My sword’s gonna cut through
Your helpless little haiku

And you’re gonna wake up now
Yeah you’re gonna wake up
Said you’re gonna wake up now
And let me tell you how

Meet you in the morning with your sword and shield
I’ll take you to the morning with my sword and shield
Meet you in the morning
And you’re gonna wake up

I don’t wanna lie here
I’m just gonna die here
not a minute or a light year
takes a death to come alive here

The only thing that looks real
Is the blood on the battlefield
If you’re shielded from the mind thrills
Maybe then you’ll finally know the deal

So you’re gonna wake up now
Yeah you’re gonna wake up
Said yo...
