I ran to the sunset
I drove back to the sunrise
With you on my mind
How easily the sun can make you blind
Ooohh ooh ooh ooh! Yeah
Thought I found that golden light
Turns out foolsgold is not as bright
But how do you know what is real
When you’ve only seen what you feel
I rub my eyes and what do I see?
That golden light inside of me!
So I sit and smile, I smile and sit,
and I laugh at all this bullshit.
And I ran to the sunset
I drove back to the sunrise
With you on my mind
How easily the sun can make you blind
Ooohh ooh ooh ooh! Yeah
My rosey eyes saw a hero,
with arms that pillowed my plummeting fall
The same arms that threw me over the edge
and tossed me around like a basketball
Did you know there’s no soap in a soap opera?
You made that clear when you tossed your shit at me
I laughed for a while,
but then realized I miss the smell of clean
And I ran to the sunset
I drove back to the sunrise
With you on my mind
How easily the sun can make you blind
Ooohh ooh ooh ooh! Yeah
And the sun is made of gold
We’ll keep reaching and reaching ‘til we burn our hands and our souls
But what really is the goal?
You’re just gonna dig yourself a hole
Trying to escape from these cold lonely nights
With no one by your side
but your loud unsteady mind
Who really is to blame?
Who really is to blame
How easily the sun can make you blind

Another breakdown, another cloudy day
I feel like a child, I feel like a child
You give me lovin’, but I just take your brain
‘Cause mine is so damn loud, mine is so damn loud
Please don’t be afraid
‘Cause it will pass in an hour or when I awake
Please don’t be afraid
‘Cause I Am Changed
I need the sunshine, sunshine in my life
Dark skies, moonrise to survive
The water’s risin’, I try to fight it away
I can’t let it out, I won’t let it out
Just breathe it in now, soak in all the pain
And let it flow throughout, let it heal throughout
Please don’t be afraid
‘Cause it will pass in an hour or when I awake
Please don’t be afraid
‘Cause I Am Changed

Wake Up

Why don’t you come out and play, let’s take a walk outside
Awaken for the day, don’t run and hide
Open your eyes, look at the skies in you
See every soul walking by
There ain’t a better way
than to love today and take a walk outside
You stare at the TV screen of your brain
These thoughts are gonna make you go insane
And you seem to have been sleeping all life long
Wake up and see the Now before you’re gone
Why don’t you come out and play, let’s take a walk outside
Awaken for the day, don’t run and hide
Open your eyes, look at the skies in you
See every soul walking by
There ain’t a better way
than to love today and take a walk outside
Listen to the song of the earth
And hear the symphony in a drop of water
And feel the love breathing to and from a tree
It’s okay, be still and see

We Are Light

What is society, but the child of the media
Conceived by dollar bill
It’s the pill they take to sleep at night
That is poisoned by the fearful ill
We inhale and absorb
This toxic stream of unconsciousness
When will we ever figure it out
That I am you, you are me, we are light
They are us, we are one, come reunite
Who is society, but the guy next door
You know not the color of his eyes
All you recall, his shade of skin
That is tainted by the media’s lies
We inhale and absorb
Until we’re submerged in flames
When will we ever figure it out
Who is society? Well it’s you and it’s me
And us and the guy next door
Who is society? Fear and Vulnerability
Suffering from our entrapped souls
We inhale and absorb
Until we lose our minds
When will we ever figure it out

Cut Your Strings

Why can’t y’all be real with me
So sick of all this puppeteering bullshit
While the world is at your fingertips
You lock your safe and hide your hypocrite face
So get your head out of your wallet
Get your wallet out of your pocket
And give it to the world
Money can’t feed us life or the wisdom of the dead
Politicians can’t set us free if we’re oppressed by our own heads
We know all of your little secrets
A system that’s controlled by the dollar
By the puppets in power
It was shaped to fit one master key
So that only the puppet can succeed
Get your head out of your behind
And see the people on the outside
Of your bubble world
Money can’t feed us life or the wisdom of the dead
Politicians can’t set us free if we’re oppressed by our own heads
But if you ain’t got no strings
Then your hands and feet will be free to fly away
Now cut your strings
