Leaves 07:19
I’ve got a good idea said the boy, as he aimed his feet out the door with screens and stepped into the darkness filled with joy. Don’t step on the leaves and make a sound, he reminded me of the times that we would sneak on Dad when he got home from work. Follow me, watch out for those things and veer off where you please let the good Lord guide you when you’re lost. Don’t be scared, you’re stronger than before truer where you’ve learned and shining light on everyone you know. Later on we struck a fire and lost our minds it was real life then and we realized when our parents fell apart like old wood floors. Don’t step in the holes and lose your shoe its a funny thought how we’re better off having lived to speak the lessons that we knew. Always bring a lighter for the unlit ones Smoke upon a pipe that's made of gold Let the simple friendships last a real long time and let the hard ones run their course.

Stars 05:12
This is where you find out where you’re going Its not the road Maybe you can find it in the stars You’ll have to look all night And own the right To find a place to sit amongst the clouds don't believe the things they’ve always said it isn't fair hold on to your guns as you find out you’ll have to scream and shout as you gather clout to make it hard for those below to climb just remember that's not all that bad there's beauty there the perfection of the chase and of the kill its a gorgeous life and worth the fight got a thousand generations at your back lets go for a ride you got the wind in your hair find what we want when we pedal there take your hands off the bars let the road guide you on the gravel is rough but the scene is right on take the smoke from our heads and the sweat from our brow pour it into our art and leave it for the crowds riding diamonds and hoops packing brushes and paints plucking steel upon wood we will live out our days!

i tried to walk and pace myself but now im good and angry i’m off the shelf we’re coming for you you best watch out i’m bringing my friends and they’re freaking out when blood and fortune go one on one the fight is brutal its to the bone i’m rolling over up in this grave you said its over but you misbehaved wont you come and take this up? bring your guns and bring your stuff we’re blowing up the things they love while sleeping on a bed of skulls you could be the one to save us you could be the one that takes us away you could be the one that gets us you could be the one that ends all our days I’ll just be getting my tan on as we burn up the clouds and I’ll ride this ship to the bottom theres no escape now

South Anna 06:19
In the slow moving waters of the river that runs back behind our land we’d go up and fish for a bit there and float back when Mom called us in sometimes I’d just sit in that old boat tied to a tree past the rocks pretend to myself i was fishing but i was just lost in my thoughts its a strange fast ride on this planet and I’m just trying to hold on just as we realize our purpose its already time to go home we better just hope our kids know I grab your hand I'm so so scared you’re quiet I’m quiet are you in there? can you hear me? just let go don't worry let the current take you nothing more left to do you’ve got this don't worry in that quiet little patch near the tree line i sit and i take it in i feel the speed of the earth moving forward and the weight of my soul within i guess you could call this a joy ride we’re feeling the ups and the downs but as we roll into the finish we’re just glad to have gotten around

you can say it as you please any words you like I’ll know what you mean you just gotta say it right of all the words to choose none of them are nice so leave a little out and say it with your eyes I’ve got all day long for you to sing your song the words we choose are wrong to stand for what we want take a little piece of me on your way find out where you’re going and leave me to stay it isn’t what it is or what never was its only who we are and how we choose love if you fall and get more than a banged up knee you can call, and get more than the answering machine all in all we're in the big bull run when I fall, it's the bull that's done
