Track Name: Sleeping Giant
i walked deep down into my city while
skyscrapers swayed, like sleeping giants
their concrete hearts spill secrets to the ground

i stood with shadows and vampires in the cold
some aged over 300 years old
but with morning light they returned to concrete

i was for certain, i was so certain of it
these are my hands and this is heart and my face

the birds called as the sun peaked over the sky rise
painting the windows with sunlight
reminding us that time continues

the monsters who i met were really just old friends
biding their time until history begins
but they hide once the sun hits their face.

i was for certain, i was so certain of it
these are my hands and this is my heart and my face

meanwhile as stars rose above my home town
the gods painted landscapes with rain clouds
the air sang in the faintest whisper

street signs will change
but the roads with stay the same
and the ghosts of the street will still remain
to remind us that time continues

i was for certain, i was so certain of it
that these are my hands and
this is my heart and my face
even carbon succumbs to change
Track Name: Seeds in the Ground - Jeff Pianki Cover
Send "Seeds in the Ground" Ringtone to your Cell
I'm the garden you plant
the son of a man
the first grain of sand

I was out in the cold
the December snow
when they closed down the roads

That's not you lying in those clothes
Just a figure of a man I used to know
You sow all the seeds and they grow into me
and now it's time for you to plant another row

I'm a half-written book
a fish on the hook
the first of two looks

I'm a broken machine
and old trampoline with some rusted out springs

I'm a bottled up note
a song you once wrote filled with old anicdotes

You're a memory from a photograph I found
A broken picture frame lying on the ground
I'm forced to believe in something that can't be
In a world that won't wait for me to come around.
Track Name: back to orion
were coming back to orion
got a pencil and pad to write a story on
motorcycle at an intersection
summertime ,late night, red light to end a life

were coming back to orion
your lakes, your streams, oh the glory of
funeral flowers don't match the color of
your skin, your skin, your skin

were coming back to orion
this is where i used to live
were coming back to orion
this is where i used to live
