Lyrics by Brett Kull

The salt of my earth leaves me dry
The lead from my mouth drags me down

"Meet me in the valley of shadows"
Find me in my dust
Save me from 100 diversions
Pull me from my rut

The glass in my eye bends my view
The bug in my ear drowns me out

Heal me in my hour of failing
Love me in my dirt
Hang me on the rack of my actions
Dry me to the bone

When I'm tempted, delightful!
Beaten, a fistful! Broken but lethal!
Blinded and see through!
Standing and pointing the meter ticks on...

Fly king in seamless suit, recognize the cloven boot
Tailored partition in a barber chair
With fire and tar he'll comb your hair

100 pieces turn, heel and shoot
100 diversions libido loot
100 poisons, pick your lot
100 fancies to tickle your spot

The flaw of my smile is outside in
The twist of my arm spends my day

Lyrics by Ray Weston

Teacher said it would be nice
To listen once to her advice
But I sat there dreaming 'til her ruler cracked my knuckles
Her five foot nothing body was as aide as she was tall
She was always pulling pants down to administer her charm

Learn by example, told to respect
Do as we say, stand up straight and use your head

My parents spent good money to give my life a better chance
I sat there, waiting for that recess bell to ring
My mind was always on something else
When it was time to crack the books
Like walking though the candy store
Or flipping cards out in the yard

Taught on the playground to fend for ourselves
Adopting strange habits you won't find at home
Disrupting dads castle and turning mom gray
These are just two of my favorite things

Sliding board and monkey bars
As far as the eye can see
The horseshow pits woke me up
In a place where I'd never grow old
All these dirty knees and broken bones
Were all a part of growing up
Dads whistle meant that it was time to eat
I live to play another day

He was not supposed to turn his head
We were not supposed to make a sound
Act like nothing ever happened

Lyrics by Tony Banks and Peter Gabriel

We're waiting for you, come and join us now
We need you with us, come and join us now

Look inside your mind
See the darkness is creeping out
I can see the softness there
Where the sunshine is gliding in
Fill your mind with love
Find your world a future glowing
You can leave yourself
Where the sour turns to sweet

Leave your ugly selfish shell
To melt in the glowing flames
Drift away the saffron blends
To the land where the rainbow ends
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes, now listen...

We're waiting for you, come and join us now
We want you with us, come and join us now

Paint your face all white to show the peace inside
Leave your ugly selfish shell
To melt in the glowing flames
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes in focus...

We're waiting for you, come and join us now
We want you with us, come and join us now

We're waiting for you, come and join us now
We need you with us, come and join us now

Lyrics by Cris Buzby and Ray Weston

Take away my pleasures
All my freedom gained
Taking the answers
Only fuels my brain

Dove headfirst so long ago
Still can't swim this deep
Closing in on here and now
Finding the currents of me

Take the personality
From myself and I
The faith I live for
More than meets the eye

Take from me desire
Five senses pull
Shove me naked
Strengthen all I do

It's rare for me to worry yet worry's all I do
It serves as my protection and always pulls me through
I never thought I'd see this day until the day I did
Always wrapped around this moment for each moment lived

So this is what it's like
I had forgotten
The shine has worn, my head has shrunk
From bending ourselves to shape

Still, we shape ourselves to fit
Fit ourselves to wear, we don't fit

So this is what it's like
I had forgotten
Back to size at 2 years dead
Hungry for change again

Spread apart the reason
Scattering goals
Stifle my potential
Never fill my role
Take it all, go hide it
Take it far from here
My own agenda
Has real alternatives

Dove headfirst so long ago
Still can't swim this deep
Closing in on here and now
Finding the currents of me
And everything I believe
Is riding these currents of me

I've found my place in it - it's such a perfect fit
I find it hard to leave - it's everything to me

I'm sending up my last flare
To meet whatever calls me here to find me
Treading for nothing
I can't keep stopping and starting this thing without a warning
I never know just where it's gonna take me
I just let it take me...
It's gotta make me ride out, to make me ride in
But it all washes up in the end...
Then you'll see (then you'll see)

Lyrics by Chris Buzby

Gather, learn and listen
Grasp a piece of life and hold it
Mold it to your liking
And place it in the potter's kiln

Lessons learned in church and school
Help shape the growing child
Tall tales, fables, folklore
Place perspective on today

Taste the timbre
Watch it's phrases arching
Tells a story of my own
Breathing patchwork
Tangent lines that cadence
Palms and songs depict my lifeline

Stories have been gathered
For those who crave for something more
Lessons for a future
In what we learn and earn today

Others learn to capture
The themes they heard upon the page
Scores of scores of textbooks
Serve as my soul's family tree

My life revolves in dreams which evolve through foresight
I'd achieve, and while the sounds of those around me
Is silent at times, I forge ahead
Directed by where I want to go

I too demand a focus
Yet from within reside benign
and thank all those who strive to reach
More than one's arm-length allows

Gather, learn, and listen
Grasp a piece of life and hold it
Listen to it's spirit
And send it on it's way

Lyrics by Ray Weston

No sounds, this time alone
No one mentions my name, or a single word to me
Finally found this, left the rest behind

Wish I could stay like this
Feel like drifting away, visibility forever
Wide open, focus this time alone

Spring coming, sink so deep
Float so slowly as I go down

Alone at last, no circles to stand in
I've filled my head all full of me
And surrendered completely
Don't take offense if I don't want to share
These circles make me nervous
All closed in and uptight
My save me's go unheard now I've met my weakest point
I need a bit of distance for control

Nobody sees you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody needs you like I do

Selfish, but well spent
Few and far between is the luxury of alone
Use this distance, left the rest behind

I am, I think, I want, I need, this for myself
