Come on play Come on play In my house Baby Put your seeds of songs inside of me… Come on stay come on stay in my house Baby You are so amazing as are We ... I wouldn’t say it I wouldn’t say it ... If it wasn’t what I mean Come on and play Come on play In my house Baby Put your seeds of songs inside of me Come on and stay come on stay in my house Baby You are so amazing as are we I wouldn’t say it I wouldn’t say it If it wasn’t what I mean

Thought that I would make a song You could easily Sing along to In harmony I don’t know you all that well But you’re my friend I can tell And doors… are for opening Down by the creek A tree’s falling down Open it up See what you found Come over with your tools and mill To split the wood Side of hill Probe the mystery Sand it down Shine it up See stories, shapes, diving ducks... What the kids are seeing Down by the creek A tree’s fallen down Open it up See what you found Make the table of my dreams Where people eat Laugh and sing Toasting glasses Cause my fury to subside To find joy again and glide…. In harmony Down by the creek A tree’s fallen down Open it up See what you found Were we meant to suffer so? Though death it comes To All you know Sometimes it’s early So climb the trees Play and sing Uncover all the melodies Within us And do our best To move along Like water does As river song With ALL that’s given Down by the creek A tree’s fallen down Open it up, see what you found Down by the creek A tree’s fallen down Open it up, see what you found

Reminder #1 02:17
It feels so good To say some thing true If you don’t know the feeling You should try it sometime It’s a feeling that I’d like To give to you It feels so good To make love to you Feels so good To make love to you If you don’t know the feeling You should try it sometime It’s a feeling That i’d like to give to you It feels so good to slip into The Blue To let go of holding So hard onto life It’s a feeling that I’d like to give to you Oh brother Can you tell me what is love? Sometimes it’s clear Then it fades I’ll make you a deal You remind me And I’ll do my best To try to remind you

HAMILTON LAKE Trippin deep By a creek Spilling out Hamilton Lake All the ages All the phases Never ending Eternal Flow.... Trippin deep By a creek Spilling out Hamilton Lake All the ages All the phases Never ending Eternal Flow.... Let me tell you what love is.... It's a bear, it's a bear It's your graying hair Crumble go the pieces of the giants Of the ancient ones When you asked me to save you Sweet stowaway Humbled on your knees Falling free, toward the One still light You could meet me We could meet her Like the dance we did with Jimmy upstairs in The Barn Twisted are the veins Falling down, pulling into her Valhalla, take me FORWARD, take me BACK Take me into NOW You tell me what Love is... Trippin deep By a creek spilling out Hamilton Lake

ALL, BE YOUR WAVE Have I told you lately You’re a JEM? Tell me that you’ll sing For me again And again And again And again I can’t believe The way you rock my world I feel like I have found The rarest pearl In a whirl Of a sea Will I be your girl? Maybe. How’d you find that trigger on my back? Where do you wanna take me On this map? You think I have a lot But I have more And more So much more So step right through that door And ride me Swell me up... Ride me All, be your wave You think that maybe I’ll get tired of you? Or see the sticky dark side Of your moon? Have I told you lately What is love? It is all It is ALL And it’s as wide as tall And the cavity That is gravity Will take us down And the universe Will keep pumping out More rounds That pulse is in us You know we are the stars And the whole And the sum So baby make me cum And ride me Swell me up…. Ride me All, be your wave All be your wave All be your …..

Avoid 03:26
Avoid avoid a void A void avoid a void A void you wanna fill up Run numb numb Run away And boredom how you want to kill it Bang b-bang bang bang Look upon the sea Into the stream Flowing Flowing so pure And so kind I love how this goes Ripples composing Sweetly Singing this loving awake I’ll give you my heart I’ll give you my hand And I’ll do it over again Seems easy the ride But deep down inside There’s that wound That keeps spoiling The show Oh no Avoid avoid devoid A void avoid a void A void you wanna fill up Run numb numb Run away So angry That you want to kill it Bang b-bang bang bang Stressing out So you go to drink it Gulp Gulp gulp gulp gulp Look Upon the sea Into the stream Flowing Flowing so pure And so kind I love how we go Our ripples composing Sweetly Singing this loving awake You give me your heart I’ll give you my hand And we do this Over again Seems easy the ride But deep down inside There’s that wound That keeps spoiling The show Oh no Avoid avoid a void A void avoid a void A void you want to fill up Run numb numb Run away So hungry That you over eat it Yum Yuck yuck yuck Yum Uninspired So you go To smoke it Makes you tired So you need more coffee With half and half And a half of half You’re half Of what you know You can be Avoid a void avoid A void a void avoid And what will it take To FIIEEL this?

I DO BELIEVE IT’S OVER I do believe it’s over When you talk To me That way I do believe it’s over Cause that’s really not ok I do believe you’re blowing it With your word As cheap as rice I do believe it’s over When you’re gone When you’re gone Fuck me Another break up song People Can’t we get along? Hold me mother As I ache for him

IN GOD WE TRUST Stay Until it comes Feeding the flow Of a single reflection I used to know How it went Before I got bent In a thousand directions Machine The mighty machine We hold in our hand Is changing The Land Seems sweet Playful and neat Like snapchats and tweets We eat metallic connections Soon no more fire trucks Soon No more chances It’s hard Hard to believe Corruption and greed Are as rampant As Romans But it’s true Red white and blue Is losing its glue In a cloud of pollution In God In God We Trust Well She’s gonna bust In glory Revolution Soon No more fire trucks Soon No more chances

THE CALIFORNIA NATIONAL ANTHEM Rise California With the sun Over Joshua Tree Climb The great Sierra mountains Surf the swell Of the Rincon sea Laugh, with tiny flowers That pave the way To the grand Sequoia beasts Who were born at The time of Pharos and who still live Amongst you and Me Thanks for all that grows here Thank you to the critters sweet We are All Of nature And the all long to be free So we must take our leave And say goodbye To the states we knew You must know we tried So witness me Let me witness you Speak for what we love Sing our song so true A river without dams A river you can drink A grassy shore to land on Sun shining through the trees Rise California Love who you like And marry Be your own invention See. And be seen. We are All of nature And we all long to be All life is precious And The All longs to be free So we must take our leave And say goodbye To the states we knew You must know we tried So witness me Let me witness you Speak for what we love Sing our song so true A river without dams A river you can drink A grassy shore to land on Sun shining through the trees Thought you might be my one Thought you might understand Thought you might wanna share The blessings of my land Cooking in the kitchen Hanging by the fire It’s sweet with you just living Never will it tire Witness me Rise!
