Here's an aging photograph Developed in the dark room of my brain Each time I handle it I leave fingertips and ego stains All time is now, Everything we learn Sheds light on everything we know Our trials and struggling Make sense as we all grow old All time is now I remember a time when life was easy Our lives were our own Iced coffee, grass and guacamole These are polaroids of a life we once lived Each day these memories fade Can you imagine a time when life was golden? No fear, no guilt to cloud your brain Can you imagine a summer without longing? Just cobblestones, canoes and the absence of pain Well it's just that simple, It's just that easy, It's just that possible to have!

Down through the years, down through the line There are gifts and curses passed, That cannot be denied And those that try to flee, to run and hide From what's bred in the bone, what's locked up inside May find it hard to make sense of their lives What we repress, what we reject Can boil up from the depths at any time Up through this age in this breath of time There are myths and stories sent, There is credit there is debt There is a current we can scarcely comprehend From your head down to your shoes From the crown down to the root And it makes no sense to keep down deep inside What we accept, what we expect What's churning in our chests And all that buried treasure flows Through your veins and through your soul All those hidden cursed wait, Just waiting for a rainy day All through the days that we have shared There is a hint a glimpse of magic A passing gleam here and there But something down deep in bones and blood Makes me believe it's just the tip Like drops before the flood And all that buried treasure flows Through your veins and through your soul All those hidden curses wait Just waiting for a rainy day

This lyric is by William Wordsworth I HEARD a thousand blended notes, While in a grove I sate reclined, In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts Bring sad thoughts to the mind. To her fair works did Nature link The human soul that through me ran; And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man. Through primrose tufts, in that green bower, The periwinkle trailed its wreaths; 10 And 'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes. The birds around me hopped and played, Their thoughts I cannot measure:-- But the least motion which they made It seemed a thrill of pleasure. The budding twigs spread out their fan, To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can, That there was pleasure there. 20 If this belief from heaven be sent, If such be Nature's holy plan, Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man?

Hold On 04:05
Wind, wind on the waves Shadows sweep the lake And the next strong breeze could carry away Breath on the breeze Carried 'tween the trees That scent is my lone guide Hold on, I'm coming Hold on, I'm coming Patient, patient you wait Faithful as a saint We measure time as space 'tween tragedies From afar, Towards where you are We measure distance by degrees Hold on, I'm coming Hold on, I'm coming Hold on, I'm coming Hold on, I'm coming And as the vultures circle As the dog spins chasing his tail As you and I get older And time collapses in on ourselves Hold on, I'm coming Hold on, I'm coming Hold on, I'm coming Hold on, I'm coming

Feather 05:25
Oh, the stories they could tell If you find a way to loosen their tongue If you find the key Oh, the times they had So long ago you may never know Lost at sea All their indulgences All the happenstance That led to you Oh, the lives they chose But life chose them to begin again There and then And all the circumstance All their best laid plans That led to you May all their expectations not weigh heavy on you The burden of the dreams be as a feather on you
