Lyric by Hiram Camp:
I feel the light crawl away
as the night seeps slowly onto my tail lights
the ember of my cigarette
groaning like the sun of a somber day
bags of ash under its dimming eye
the tail of its smoke
spinning into silhouettes of refugees
Children dancing in their toil
they vanish into the exhausting hold of the night.
I drag deep
and lay heavy on the accelerator.
The blood of radio transmissions falls dead
and I know I am alone.
Alone with the imprint of countless
smuggled bodies
the ghosts of their emotions
rocking in the back seats
like sardines waiting to be baptized in new lands,
with new purpose
New hope
Who knows now
Where and if.
My mind drifts back to the road
the white dotted stitching of the highway
passing by my treads, in it
I feel the reflections of my spirit
like glowing eyes in the night
yipping in understanding
at the savagery of the world
following the scent of blood drawn
willing me on to head the pack of scavengers.
A Prince of sunbleached bones and carrion
Sharp toothed and grinning
My kingdom will inherit me
one day
and my flesh will burn away
my bones will turn to dust
mixing with the sands of the desert
radiated as one
with my home
my unforgiving lover.
Until then, I keep driving
until the great wall stretches before me
I quench the shine of my headlights and roll blindly off the highway
riding a worn road long forgotten
tracing it gently like a fingertip on a vein
I see figures muted in the dark, heads turning
like rabbits
hesitant, anxious, uncertain.
the door slips open
a password is shared
names are not
they'll never know my name
Only my desire
to lead
stray dogs in the night
to a new home.
Everyone's a stranger,
that's the rules of the road.
--
Standing on the wall
waiting for the truth to spill out
from your eye
shining forehead
broken mirror
lighthouse for all
the wandering children
come home child
waiting for the water
waiting just to try
a new life
in the promised kingdom
but the walls are rising high
the walls are rising faster
Just want to try
to climb up in the pines
try to crumble all the vapid Kings with wine
with the wine of
Humility
and shrink their egos shark
don't let them have the bloody water
let their putrid egos die.
I was standing in your light
we'll send the truth to shock their systems
break their little minds.
Waiting just to try
waiting for the water
After all
we gathered charms
from all our destinations
tried to get em all
and
we kissed our hands
and touched the roof
at every orange light
trying to catch
some luck
could it be enough
going to need it now
going to need some luck
need a little bit of luck
we took a shot
as we crossed the line
of every state we drove into
Hoping that we could drink up enough
good fortune
though it seems
that we are running dry
is it enough to get by?
Yet, you always seem to find some fun
you got a store somewhere?
Are you holding out?
Cause I'm gonna need some luck
Just to get by
That's why we never spoke a word
of what we wished for
at every shooting star
every dandelion puff
you just let the wind have your dreams
can't cash in on those seeds?
Cause all I needed was some luck
All I needed was some love.

Shrunken Head

lyrics by Maxwell Graves:
I made my way down south
to say what I'm about
To people who won't listen
Cuz of hatin' superstition
But I'm all out of luck
This shrunken head I have holds up
I don't give a fuck
This shrunken head is made of luck
I made my way down south
To clear up all my doubt
To people who won't listen
cuz of hatin superstition
But I don't give a fuck
This shrunken head I have is luck
Little heads run amuck
Before your time is up.

Leo's Theme

lyrics by Austin Morrell:
I got a singular kind of purpose in mind
I want to see all the squares here get so damn high that you scream
Think I'm the devil, try to sell me your life
I'll offer you something silly like the publishing rights
To a song that I wrote about how you felt,
For a talented man that just couldn't get loose enough
when you give up on life
we lose a star out of the sky
It's like a universal treatise
We need all the starry eyes
To break free of this sphere
I won't bother to say it twice
But I find a way to get up on somethin
Earth kin
We gotta reach out and get over this politic
We wanna sing in other galaxies
Give aliens LSD
We wanna find a bigger knowing
Than earthlings can see
But how can we write that symphony
If we're still this capitalist disease
the terrestrial hunger
That makes us what we are
Will consume us if we proceed with
Fixating on what we aren't and striving to out-consume our neighbors
Instead of getting in tune with our desires
I want to sing in other galaxies
Give aliens LSD
I want to at least experience gravity visibly distorting space
Before I write that song that sums it up for all my days
There is a maniac that follows me
Mostly all the time
I think he's starting to learn my schedule
I can see it in his eyes
There is no wholesome guiding principle
to the patterns in our lies
We're just stumbling blindly onward

lyrics by Colin Roxford:
Memories passing through
Just to see you smiling
All the while thinking
"My, how the time just goes…."
Couldn't be bad to
Let the good times roll….
I know that you felt something
Don't Let
yourself do nothing
u’ve gotta let it
show....
feels like I'm spinning
Right out
Of control
So Come on babe
My Body feels like maybe
Its time to go
But my heart says no!
Let's just take it slow
Ask “Are you still with me?”
I’ll
say
“you know I'm never letting go”
((Love's like flowers, Oh how they grow
Yes is your answer, let it go))
I can see it coming
Here it is, the final blow
Feeling like I'm dreaming
Ooo and if I really am sleeping
I don't want to know.
