No Left Turn

They come from miles around us
Barefoot servants of the fray
The darkest cloaks their barely known
They wander more each day
Thrust the sword and grab the axe
Returning to the day
Light the fire and breathe the smoke
Apex of the sun's way
I tell you all this with a sigh
Somewhere, ages hence
Two Road diverged in a yellow wood
The grassy one I picked
The sign says no left turn here
But I turn here anyway
I took the road less traveled
And oh what a difference made
Shall I be carried to the skies
On flowery bed of ease
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed though bloody seas?
The sign says no left turn here
But I turn here anyway
I took the road less traveled
And oh what a difference made

Cut and Run

In the water things are deeper here
Grab your oar and paddle out
Crashing thoughts and waves to greet you there
It's never like you thought it was
It's time to cut and run
Leave it all undone
It's time to cut and run
Focus deep the thoughts that bring you here
Forgive the sins and soldier on
Calm determination, persevere
All around there is love
But you won't see it
And you can't say it
And you won't hear it
And you can't speak it
See wave formation disappear
Soon the rains will wash it out
In a haze a broken daze no more
We can see what it's about
I wanna blaze, ‘cause I wanna blaze

Turn your back and she's dropping the knife in
Run for cover but you know it starts within
Eyes are wide but you can't see the way out
Play deep but no one can hear you shout
Things Change, They Stay the Same
With the Mountains in our way
I don't know but, I've been told
The Mountains they will move away
Fear the world but you can't make up your mind
You can't leave what you've already left behind
We long the day when everything will work out
Thoughts are flying, Mind is full of doubt
Things Change, They Stay the Same
With the Mountains in our way
I don't know but, I've been told
The Mountains they will move away
Feel the slip and you see that i don't lie
Your solution is to curl up and die
The mind bends but the soul it won't forget
You say you'll bring it but you know you haven't yet
Things Change, They Stay the Same
With the Mountains in our way
I don't know but, I've been told
The Mountains they will move away

Viva! Cascadia!

You say that wall you build won't tear this country down
You’re walking trash talking, fooling all the clowns
You got a lot of nerve to speak your wicked mind
That hate you breed is a disease of the mind
Some folks will spill their blood to save this very earth
You can't align yourself with people of that worth
There ain't no way that you will hurt any of my friends
As long as I have life I'll fight you till the end
There'll come a day, when we part ways
Lay my body down
The sacrifice is a small price
To give my children worth
You cheat the cheats and you scorch our mother earth
You would kill time if you knew that it had worth
There is a way that we can turn this shit on end
Raise your fists and join us my friends
Viva Cascadia!
