Squall Critical
05:00
|

|
Dive down in the green
And come back high
Snow playing in the beam
We come back cold
In the squall, critical
The flight, the flame, the wave
In light, symmetry
The beat, the fray, the weight
From the sound in between
I come back right
Same shapes on the screen
But you’ll be fine
In the squall, critical
The flight, the flame, the wave
In light, symmetry
The beat, the fray, the weight

Move Over Now
04:42

Sight, sound
On the edge of loud
Rule one
Do you remember now?
Do you recall it?
Like a bird, I was
Not afraid, I was
Just a page to cross
Move over now
On the wave, I was
Move over now
On the wave, I was
White sand
As the day breaks out
Rule two
The way I found
To get around it
Like a bird, I was
Not afraid, I was
Just a page to cross
Move over now
On the wave, I was
Move over now
One the wave, I was

Out on the Road
03:50

f I’d known more
If I’d read more
The key, the knife
Bricks on sand
The kick, the breath
The first to try
Out on the road
Time don’t mean anything
Neon ride - go the distance
Isn’t quite what it seems
Like a shadow on the pavement
Just a whisper in the darkness
Well that was easy
If I’d been there
If I’d seen more
The fist, the light
Bricks on sand
The kick the breath
The first to try
Out on the road
Time don’t mean anything
Neon ride - go the distance
Isn’t quite what it seems
Like a shadow on the pavement
Just a whisper in the darkness
Well that was easy

How to Live

How to live?
And who to see?
I’m standing at the station
Thinking about the future
And I know I’ve been uncertain
And I could’ve been much clearer
But on the road I walk on
There’s a fire beyond
There’s a key beneath the dormant
And a light - leave it on
In my mind I’m certain of just one thing I’ll do
Do you see the potential?
Do you mean it too?
How to breathe?
And how to believe?
I’m standing at the station
Thinking about the future
And I know I’ve been uncertain
And I could’ve been much clearer
But on the road I walk on
There’s a fire beyond
There’s a key beneath the dormant
And a light - leave it on
In my mind I’m certain of just one thing I’ll do
Do you see the potential?
Do you mean it too?

Get Your Head Down

Stripped down white
Wondering where you’re gonna go now
Head held high
Wondering where you’re gonna go now
You heard calls from above
Singing how long's to come?
How long?
Stripped down white
Wondering where you’re gonna go now
Well it came to be long ago
A flicker through the trees
A signal of belief
It ain’t that hard to find
It’s just the sigh, the ebb, and the flow
That’s right
I’ve got vision
I’ve got time to come
How long can I run?
Well I’m jumping in
By the reeds
By the rocks - where the wall once was
And the red of the dust - meets the green - meets trust
And I’m falling in
Down beneath
The kelp and the reef pull up shallow
And there’s this calm inside
Where hope resides
Well it came to be long ago
A flicker through the trees
A signal of belief
It ain’t that hard to find
It’s just the sigh, the ebb, and the flow
That’s right
I’ve got vision
I’ve got time to come
How long can I run?
The sigh, the ebb, and the flow
That’s right

For Every Drop of Rain
04:20
|

|
For what I feel
For what I know
For every drop of rain
That landed on my nose
For every scratch
For every graze
For every smoke
For every beer
For every dream
For every fear
That’s what I see
That’s what I know
That’s what I feel
Kicking leaves
And laying low
Jumping in
Don’t feel the cold
Making plans
And letting go
That’s what I see
That’s what I know
That’s what I feel
For every drop of rain
That landed on my nose

Someone
02:44
|

Someone comes looking
Someone stands tall
Someone is working
At the end of it all
Some days bring the happiness
Some days it don’t show up at all
Some days the cold bites hard
But you don’t feel it all
This morning when I made breakfast
I was afraid I would die
Have you ever head anything so reckless?
But we’ve all been afraid sometimes
Someone comes looking
Someone stands tall
Someone is working
At the end of it all
