3000 FLARES 02:05
this is a warning you are losing one of your sons Ive fallen away from my occupation cuz when I push the pencil they load the shells that turn heaven into hell this is a warning shot across the bow in high and tight 3000 flares didnt do nothin but light up the sky and fall as limp reflections in your eyes so this son says goodbye Ill try to take my mind off of the shells that turn heaven into hell

From An Oregon Shore (free) 03:26
here at the end of the war where the water meets sand on an oregon shore we stand where the land cheats the sea all covered in snow but its not really cold at all cuz when the sky went crack and temporarily black it left a poisonous sun when they shot we shot back again but theres a place I know and I think we should go so come with me away from time we’ll let the road fall behind alone cuz the world keeps getting worse intentions and I dont want a piece of it anymore and so we cross this line in the nick of time when you work for peace sometimes you find youre tangled up in the lines to the accessories of the crime because weve lost our way and sense of touch now the thought of peace it doesnt mean that much no I swear Ive never been less blind its just they redefined the word peace so lets free these sands of imaginary lines and what we find we’ll find
3.
so my love theres nothing left but for us to run to a distant open space safe from this warming sun therell be nobody to greet us and no goodbyes weve got to make this all gone and leave behind this fading sky step and step mile by mile through the western gorge until the river has run gone and the cliffs look down no more so let the mountains face us and the armies chase us well stay low to the ground and well make no noises there comes a time a time of ending here at the midwests beginning weve left no signs no trails no holes well find an open space find an open space to go
4.
Asleep 02:59
close your eyes my love be still and breathe feel your mind wandering see a world opening up for us to dream sweetly deeply asleep sleep as the stars fill the sky each of them wandering by see a world opening up for us to dream sweetly deeply asleep
5.
one day we escaped but now Im looking over my shoulder cuz theres a wind blowing over the grass is it a sign will it knock us down or will it pass now my love I have no plan no actions to take when you awake cuz I’m a fool to try to run when I dont how Im a fool but sleep for now my love, sleep for now are we caught in this crossing wind blowing

if peace should find a way well find another way if they should stop the fighting well fight another day you cannot stop the marching so dont you even try if sun should find your face well blacken up the sky

Rebuttal 1 02:10
this is not a hollow trick if I dont stick into your clique I am not responsible the bones around your brains are thick one good turn deserves another so I refuse to be defined by the narrow thoughts inside your mind
9.
Slow Guns 03:52
I hate the war and that settles things youve said your piece is there nothing more I hate the war well what dont you hate you criticize while we restore youre all confused no I’m afraid thats you with the people around on the highest horses with slow guns and meticulous voices if you love the war then say you love the war and I guess well never agree cuz theres a lot of opinions conflicting emotions blind optimism and hopeless devotion all round when all we want is common sense and you dont make no sense its all a lie tell me wheres the proof how do you tell the lies from truth give it time yes yes time will speak with the battles won in the coming weeks its all a lie youre just following
10.
Rebuttal 2 02:54
will this conflict you make finally take down the sun cuz theres always more errands for the poor to run tell me when will it be that you finally make your peace when will you make your peace
11.
Damned 03:01
as bars go these are not the worst ones I can see my hand reach in and through sometimes it makes a shadow its like a bird flying across the room at noon theres too many people not laughing their smiles just dont any-things grab your attention theyre gonna take all your attention your damned if you do and damned if you dont with all of your dos and all of your donts damned if you will and damned if you wont with all of your dos and all of your donts now its not clear what the bricks in this room mean and the lines between do they mean what I think its a map its a plan for a city and everywhere you go its ninety degrees ninety degrees theres too much organization and not enough participation and I think you know what I mean when I say participation theres too many people making ripples sneaky silent swimmers incapable incapable this damn pool needs a cannon ball
12.
Alliances 02:36
Im gonna choose my alliances not by your face or sound of your voice or quality of speech but what you can do for me and what I do for you does for me so here we vultures sit two in a row which one is the madam and which one the ho no I dont know anymore I wanted to be a ringing voice but the loudest bells are hollow inside cuz they give the greatest ride
13.
Im ready to let go right now my love time can only heal what it cant find so thats game that has to be I forget you you forget about me

Two Ghosts (free) 03:13
woke up in time to see you turn into a ghost from the top of the world theres a view of sun so clean you can only look once I see you carried away by the wind now no matter what we say the things we claim dry out and blow away its over my love now were just a piece of the scenery in a painting signed anonymous over my love over just out of reach in retrospect I guess I loved you too much loved you too much loved you loved you when all I really needed was someone to touch someone to touch someone someone coarse enough to resist any powerful force I hear a sound I think maybe youre here somewhere now sometimes you hear sometimes you see but youre only imagining if theres a season theres got to be a reason for it you make your peace you make your mistakes sometimes the world gives sometimes it takes
15.
I wanna go where the sky lies overhead peacefully peacefully and well never have to turn from the sun in an open space tomorrow in an open space tomorrow I wanna go where we see these certain signs that we only borrow time and this place is partly yours and partly mine in an open space tomorrow in an open space tomorrow I wanna go to an open space tomorrow
