Silver Rings 03:46
Waving goodbye, she sings Listens to the dings Of the silver rings The air, the air, brings Waving goodbye, she sings Smells the burning Of the leaves The trees, the trees, brings Waving goodbye, she sings Just let them, Let them be Some rest, some rest and some peace We'll see you again Or maybe not All that we got Is dirt and sand Return my friend To that well again Cry all you can And then your gone Then your gone Gone, gone, gone Gone, gone, gone Gone, gone, gone

Just War 04:02
Where did you go My friend from the shore? You used to be there, you 'aint there no more I heard you died At the hands of small men And I don't think I understand It's just war, it's just war, it's just war Remember when We wrote our names in the sand? The tides came in and erased us again And even though we were so little then I think we both did understand It's just war, it's just war, it's just war

It's all in the same sentence The beauty of remembrance The lyric while I shed this But no skin can ever lack The feeling of the arrival The standing test of my will Well, it's all for nothing, nowhere She's just a drop of water to me And no matter how many moons Stain her skin and bruise The flicker of the riddling She sends me through the air With all that's lost recovering In a time worth rediscovering I was with a man just hovering Through the ether in my mind Just some sleep I do wish you Dreams violent or peaceful As you drift upon that driftwood Washed up from a distant storm Some shelter and a smile Some time to weigh the pieces Of the mystery that creates us And then just swallows us entirely whole But you memories with prove static With a mind that eats the tragic Spits the weight of my wit Onto the floor with the melted rings As the townsmen they cry at you From their lonely spots beneath you You neglect their eyes, but bleeding Is your heart, stains on your sleeve

When it rains and it pours I don't think about the wars About the bums and the whores I think about the rainy day kids And the looks they implore Let it roll Let it ride And let it, oh Take them home Build them schools where they can learn Build them bridges they won't burn Give them something they can earn And take them home Give them food that they can eat Not this cannibalized meat And give them tools that they can use Not just from the rich folks junk heap And take them home Let it roll Let it ride And take them home Let it roll Let it ride Let it rise up inside Let it swim in your mind Let it trickle down your spine And let it, oh, take them home Let it spark Let it burn Let it make your stomach turn Let it sing Let it dance Let it fall into a trance And let it, oh, take them home

To all the bronze stars in the invisible air The stench of the lonely everywhere To the blood banks of the energies And the wild green leaves of the seas Explain this again to me how It doesn't seem what is can be But lives in every heart, in every eyeball, every soul From the guts of you and me Aren't we tearing it all down? I mean, shouldn't we? From the sewer signs in town To the wrath we'll never come to see Because the foaming wild leper seeks The same use for his hungry teeth And don't we all wish to feast From the same cup of death dark tea? I was sorry right then Because right then I was wrong And I was a man When I was not hungry

Murder predicts the back-beat of the souls that tap the backstreet That predicts the payment and redirects the pavement "Hey, we don't know where they went." Stayed in place, but vanished Thin air give back the language So, we can get through, too We can get through, too Pick a door, any door All of them, the same shore All of them, the same foams Diggin' up the same bones Pickin' up the same tones Sounds that shake my earphones And the ghosts of old clones The worships in the basement The worships in the basement Behind the backs of buildings Life's new gloss and new things You listen to the crowd sing Their requiem for you Missing at the table A fork but not a plateful You blame it on that fateful Night, the stars lined up for you Stars lined up for you Between the sheets, head full of dreams That make you sweat and clench your teeth Victims speak of double-speak Lips sink into the sand beneath But up above the sky opens up You're soaked beneath a naked sun And all around in new tongues Sing, "We can get through, too We can get through, too."

about

Recorded live 10/8/10 - 10/9/10 in Cape May, NJ, by Mark Gunnery of Odonian Records. This is a culmination of three years worth the song writing, touring and rehearsals. It is a complete record of a project that started by playing on the streets of Baltimore in 2008. It is also the first full representation of a completely new genre we call "Streetgrass." The entire album will be available in January 2011.
