Live Up

We’re Worrying
Write down the letters Write down the numbers Write down the letters Write down the numbers

Do you recognize my voice? I think you should know That I shouldn’t tell you this Impound the radios

Stay two hours ahead of your target That’s right we’re not lying Relay the message Call what’s his name And remember peace is our profession

The phones are dead Please don’t say blast off Fire then inquire If you should desire

The fools The mad fools The doomsday machine

I know something’s wrong Hey, what about Major Kong

Fallout
“The sky, it cracked, in two to end you loathsome lot” And I never saw the end

The smoke, and flames, flooded Out all the seas Sun and stars were gutted clean

When, will, you learn to live up We’ve sacrificed our lives to make it clear This early evening The dusty snow it settled In the coming months ‘fore morning Though I was gone My boy reached dawn To live to tell the warning

The bunkers crammed with settlers Afraid to breathe the air Told tales of ghosts Of vagrant hosts Outside in the nightmare

One stood among others A small and brazen fool Whose kind before Had made a war Of which we were the tool

Fear nothing that can do you harm You’re lucky if you die The living fire Of our desire Will hear their children cry

Amidst the retribution One man, he thought alone In fear and in Endearment To repay his mercy shown

When, will, you learn to live up They sacrificed their lives to make it clear That early evening

I'm Sorry.....
Walking down an empty lane With no on else but you Talking like we were dear old friends With nothing else to do And every morning feeling as though I could almost fly And then I think of all the pain My chance has said goodbye For all the tears I never meant To ever make you shed As if my heart, that pumps my blood Was made of solid lead I freeze to think that every day Your tears were meant for me And knowing that I let you down For just being me...

You’re Security
A shallow tide I know you tried

On this ocean gently foaming All the shores the you’ve been roaming You can feel lost But I’m telling you There similar enough

‘Cause one answer’s good as others We’re your sisters we’re your brothers And you’re not alone Think of love You’ve been shown You’ve been shown

This world its been rolling on down a dirt road And it twists and it turns I don’t know where we’ll go But when it slows, then it stops I’ll take you back home You back home

You know that your life it sure hasn’t been long In the sands and the seas know You got to live on There’s an earth full of people who miss you Whenever you’re gone

I know You Tried

The Longest Winter Day
You hear me In the cover of the winter Down where the snow Fills in all your footsteps

In the day of the night From the sky to ground below Where warm don’t need cold And hate is lost in snow

I can never tell With this clean and pure horizon Where the sun can move And I’m allowed to walk

Painting in the fields On a white crystal canvas And the children come to watch In their coats

Colors all around All reflecting in the world But we only see the mirrors Which they ride

So we play until we’re tired And on the snow we lie With closed eyes I still see white

Night’s tide descends And stars all fall from heaven How I awake to find Bright blankets warm and dry
