I stumble every time you do it ain’t never gonna get used to it hanging on a garden rose untamed, the way that my love grows oh lord I didn’t see it coming arcadia’s got me running just trying not to lose my breathe cause hell I’m gonna take that step and though my pride has gone way down the line I’m just fine if my luck is all that I have today well it’s no wonder that you found me buried underneath my weight well, wood stilts and little red pills may be all that hold me up but you pulled the blinds in this room of mine just a little bit brighter since you came I stumble every time you do it ain’t never gonna get used to it hanging on a garden rose untamed, the way that my love grows oh lord I didn’t see it coming arcadia’s got me running just trying not to lose my breathe cause hell I’m gonna take that step seep up all the light from the bottom of the spine don’t fret, don’t hang your head cause I’m just fine one day, all that I have to give well it will be sitting on your doorstep waiting just to come on in well, cold rooms and burning flumes they have left me just a little bit lesser than I am than I am, than I am going to be I stumble every time you do it ain’t never gonna get used to it hanging on a garden rose untamed, the way that my love grows oh lord I didn’t see it coming arcadia’s got me running just trying not to lose my breathe cause hell I’m gonna take that step seep up all the light from the bottom of the spine don’t fret, don’t hang your head cause I’m just fine

Hot tea in the kitchen Honey on your spoon Been chasing satellites Since we landed on the moon We’ll find one oh we know It’s a natural inquisition We just wanna know About lighting bolts and waterfalls Where all the night walls go We’ll find one oh we know When I burn down Throw an old song on the fire Let it burn til the heavens sing Lay your weapons down And reach up to the skies When I die, when I die It’s that same old repetition That gets you weary in your knees We paint the walls with warning signs Hope that all the world will see See one oh we know Hot tea in the kitchen Honey on your spoon Been chasing satellites Since we landed on the moon We’ll find one oh we know

so my time will come when i have the right mind rid my mind of this hesitation can’t think why all i need is coming, though it’s not here quite yet here i have seen the same thing pretend not to mind it i’d like to be closer to me or who i think i want to be things change but you don't realize you have all you need dare not talk the truth i have locked up inside where is that key to the chain holding back my mind all i need is coming, though it’s not here quite yet here i have seen the same thing pretend not to mind it i’d like to be closer to me or who i think i want to be things change but you don't realize you have all you need

resting on a corner stone a building in the haze the sky was bringing hell on us I thought that we'd be saved floating on a marshmallow sea rather here, not far from me at sudden moment was a crash echoed out an evil laugh visions of a membrane vast concepts relate and contrast if only there was a way that I could bring you there today the signs look different on Wysteria Lane something about them, just isn't the same only time will tell when you will return down the pathway to the great beyond returning from the future with phosphorescent glow knowledge is the pathway to each and every soul brandishing a veil of light on the footsteps of giants from the depths of Wysteria we won't forget your call visions of a membrane vast concepts relate and contrast if only there was a way that I could bring you there today the signs look different on Wysteria Lane something about them, just isn't the same only time will tell when you will return down the pathway to the great beyond

hey butter rum my sweet island muffin hey butter rum my sweet island muffin to the islands you run and leave me with nothing but the rum in a foreign place with an ice cold mojito there she stood my tropic hurricane with the tide so high I asked for her name I’m the island in the sun the style to which all the oceans run to you can call me butter rum but what would I call you hey butter rum my sweet island muffin hey butter rum my sweet island muffin to the islands you run and leave me with nothing but the rum wave on the rocks tall dark and stormy here she crashed and rolled back to the sea but a raging volcano couldn’t keep that girl from me I’m the island in the sun the style to which all the oceans run to you can call me butter rum but what would I call you hey butter rum my sweet island muffin hey butter rum my sweet island muffin to the islands you run and leave me with nothing but the rum

lately I have slowed down I’ve been looking around it’s gotten clear that I need to find some solid ground well I don’t care too much for money darling neither do you and after all there ain’t too much we stand to lose I’ve played the game the best I could and I had my fun but in the end it’s never enough so don’t tell no one but I’ve packed every inch of the getaway car for some place new and I’ve been saving shotgun for you sadie, won’t you stay with me forever sadie, won’t you stay sadie, won’t you stay with me forever oh won’t you stay through the cold wind and rain you didn’t doubt a thing standing tall through the darkest night that road could bring well the sun might set in the rearview mirror all orange and red but in the morning it’s gonna rise over those mountains ahead sadie, won’t you stay with me forever sadie, won’t you stay and maybe, if we stick it out together we’ll find our way sadie, lead the way to our heaven sadie, lead the way and maybe, in the midst of my endeavor you’re not all that far away… sadie, won’t you stay with me forever sadie, won’t you stay my lady, you’ll remain forever so won’t you stay

To the rhythm of life I was walking on by When I fell straight down my shoes were untied I don’t want to get up quite yet There’s something down here I’ve got to get Down on the ground You sometimes find what you wouldn’t have found If you kept on walking by Now I sit where I just then fell Trying to hear what’s trying to tell Maybe if I don’t try so hard I’ll understand why I fell so far Maybe there’s no bad luck You gotta go down if you want to get up It’ll all come around some day But for now, what to do If you take a, if you take a tumble If you take a spill There is a lesson to learn And a cup to refill And if you stumble If your balance you lose A road lies ahead so tie up your shoes

about

It’s about gratitude. We’re grateful to be able to be out here doing what we always wanted to do. It’s for all the people we’ve known and loved that may not be alive and well now. And it’s embracing the power of mental projection. Acknowledging that you are, or choosing to be alive and well, even when things aren’t easy.
