Anchor Heart 02:43
"Anchor Heart" She said run as fast as you can. i'm not what I appear to you to be, Love is a violent act when feeding the fire of a jealous heart. Anchor Heart, I find you in the night time, tomes of glistening skin infatuation is it? And so I am committed This is an illusion, Pain to take the pain away. I see your bodies outline on the bed we once shared. Sweet and spiteful venom Ghosts of christmas past without you in my arms, I don't want arms anymore Anchor Heart I'm grounded in the moment, and set this spirit free if you inhabit my thoughts, I know you think of me. Anchor Heart II'm burned inside the fire, And razors in your words though you will try to cut me, you favor it yourself. Anchor Heart I'd gladly be the martyr or dedicate the art To the higher purpose, Of winning back your heart

"Can Not Stop The Rain" I've been feeling slightly jaded, a little insecure. In an ocean of a romance, and I can not find the cure. Cause our histories the same, I'm just waiting for the rain. We've been making so much progress on the process of belief, With our heads stuck up on cloud 9, and the Earth beneath our feet on this bright and shiny day, I'm just waiting for the rain. Come with me, underneath our tree and let it fall all around us Cause you can not stop the rain.

Lighter 03:16
Hard Shell, Gotta break through somehow, Raindrops of recollection, I pray for an umbrella to weather the Storm. On the wind, destination, Higher Ground. Lighter and Lighter and lighter and lighter. Cut the tether to be born, a stronger son to mourn the passing of a day. Stand up your intuition, manifest fruition, the bird and the caw. Ripples quiet the chatter of the mind. Lighter and lighter and lighter and lighter.

In the Sun 02:50
2am im alone, Sheets are cold and no one's home A cavern full of water, and the surface is pristine An open window's inviting me to stare upon the stars, Far away, far away, yet almost close enough to touch. Close my eyes and once again, Im a babe in side the womb So resembling a tomb, where I rest my weary head. dust to dust we once return, just the ashes of a burn from the heat of a relationship that flutters like a bird in the sun, in the sun Like a warm embrace from a love. In the sun, in the sun. Its the innocence I miss and i wish I could return in the interim I'll chill and let anxiety pass through me, like I'm chasing snack from Scooby in the sun A promise is a promise, sacred treaty of the land, whose fundamental principles no human could disband And I'll walk along the beach just where the ocean meets the sand And pray to JAH that i am cleansed with every tide and ebb but if only for a moment, I'm relieved of all concern. I'll disengage my turrets and lay down my weary arms. I can only hope to be the safest place someone can land, but this struggle for control has plagued us since the dawn of man in the sun, in the sun Like a warm embrace from a love. In the sun, in the sun. Its the innocence I miss and i wish I could return in the interim I'll chill and let anxiety pass through me, like I'm reading sheets by Rumi in the sun.

Simple Hands 02:17
Simple Hands, Simple Hands Up against a wall, neck receives the warm. Thick and Quickend breath Take a chance, Take a chance All the world at play in the back of a cafe turned on by a sigh Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa Smile and be quiet Mona Lisa Pull your hair up escape the fire Simple Hands, Simple Hands Smoothing out your clothes A little death is good (on a ) dark and story night Push your luck, push your luck In the grandest style. born to be wild With these simple hands, Simple hands.

How many boys, one night stands how lany lips, how many hands have held you Like I'm holding you tonight Too many nights, staying up late, too much powder, too much paint Can't hide format he turning of the tide Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress did they find some tender moment there in your caress. the boys all say she looks so fine, won't come back for a 2nd time. you can't hide format he turning of the tide Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before. did he promise to love you forevermore? Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume, Creaking bed in a hotel room. Can't hide from the turning of the tide. Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress did they find some tender moment there in your caress. the boys all say she looks so fine, won't come back for a 2nd time. you can't hide format he turning of the tide

Near Gotenburg Seacoast, an orchestra plays. The full moon is shining like glass through the haze. they dance cheek to cheek as accordions begin Fred Singer and Cecilia Lind , and his heart beat she feels, they float through the air as they swing on their heels He leads as she follows, as light as the wind. Oh Why are you blushing Cecilia Lind Could it be something Fred Singer had said "Your face and your perfume, have gone straight to my head Your figure is lovely, and "tres feminine" My god you're so pretty, Cecilia Lind" the band finished playing, where would they go now. the place where she lived was by his anyhow They arrived at her gate, and before going in, "I want you to kiss me" said Cecilia Lind. Shame on you Freddy, Your old hearts gone wild, Cecilia Lind is still only a child As pure as a flower, unblemished by sin "I'm soon 17", said Cecilia Lind And the hours drift away in the stars magic light though Freddy is old, there's a new moon tonight. They say love is blind, you may lose you may win "Oh, kiss me again" Said Cecilia lind.

Wasted Again 03:17
sloe gin, and i'm drowning again in the bottle I've taken as family and friend. Comfornt in the numbness of skin, poisonous posture akimbo this time I've fallen to pieces, no rhyme or reason in this hole Drunk town, population of 1, another round, I'll drink coffee instead" Wasted, wasted again, There's holes in my walls and inside my head Ruby, ruby red, the color of my wine stained lips. Day Two, wake up at noon, peeling my face off the pillow. One mile format he bed to the bathroom, dreaming of morning Mimosas Beer Pong, I'm the champion, at cards, I'm always the asshole So long to the hair fo the dog, through the fog I'll drink coffee instead Lips on the brim of a tall white russian, high ball in the mall while I'm sneaker shopping Sipping champagne gets me in the mood, Straight drinking Alize, I can't pronounce tanqueri, Balls out on Irish car bombs, I'll drink anything but the water from the bong. Never been to TJ, but the worm and I are close, 1 Tequila, 2 Tequila, 3 Tequila, FLOOR Ruby, Ruby. White wine or red it all goes to my head. Sacre Blu, I'll drink coffee instead.

Sit Down 02:09
Sit down and talk to me about love, is it that fairy tale that begins and ends with you, oh please don't go Sit down, and talk to me of romance, is it that time and chance or that fleeting chance that makes your whole world just Stop. Is it when I hold you till your skin is mine, my love. Like the surf to the sand, i take your hand and we dive I'm right here. I'm right here.

China Doll 02:52
Well you're looking like a china doll, i wanna get you in that spot tonight the reggae starts to vibe, this smokey club just feels so right. And I wanna ask you lady, what would you say, if I wanna vibe with you And I wanna ask you lady, what would you say, if we drop a dime in SoHo tonight this ain't no techno club, but we can take a little trip tonight On the West Side, I'm gonna show you everything. And I wanna ask you lady, what would you say, if I wanna vibe with you And I wanna ask you lady, what would you say, if we drop a dime in SoHo tonight You're dancing hot like a Soca Queen, My thoughts tonight, they're all obscene Come on, we'll take a chance, Rub a dub, ya feel this romance. We'll take a big trip tonight

Art School girl, Where ya been, The shows been over for an hour and ten All the cars ahem pulled away, I've got five drink tickets and it's last call And I wanna rock with you. Art School girl, you live on a farm. Blah Blah Blah, you're favorite song. There's an after party going on. You know this town, so we're following y'all. thick black lines across a canvas, the parties live, and its right next to campus. the more you talk, the more you prove yourself a shrew…and then 5.0 rolled up. The party moved to Arcadia Hills, Art School girl fell asleep at the wheel. Took a dive off of fall creek drive. Its kinda sad, and I'm fixing to grieve, But that night on the lake, with the moon on your face, looking over a gorgeous view. that life would be lovely, yes life would be lovely up here.

Eliza 02:07
Eliza likes to have peace of mind, and an herb garden box Sweet like pie, my vegan pie, with a sleeve of tattoos. Oh, would you like to lay around, help me feel the ground eliza. Eliza make your way, the worlds turning once again. two freshly baked breads, keeps a tree in the den. Yoga mat, calico cat, unwinding time. Oh, Would you like to stay a while. Oh, help me feel the ground Eliza. Eliza make your way, the worlds turning once again.

Sunlight greets us on this bed plush you say "2 more minutes please" Morning intrudes upon our spoon, you say "2 More minutes please" Oh baby go to sleep, take all the time you need. Sunday morning, rest in peace: 2 more minutes please. I'll bring breakfast, you pull me back in, Share a laugh with me time does march on when we're having fun, 2 more minutes please So calm and so serene, enveloped by the breeze and to have you in my arms. this close to you I fall apart, I'm nothing but a heart and the smile that you bring to me. "2 more minutes please"
