No Left Turn 04:51
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 04:04
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

MTNS 04:02
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

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!
