No Rain Remain
03:54

It takes a couple of days
To overcome my pain
And set me on the proper path again
It takes a little while
To resurrect my smile
Giving light to make the pathways plain
And now I see the sun arise
And now I can feel no rain remain
And now I see the sun arise
And now I can feel no rain remain
I carry heavier loads
I travel dangerous roads
And wonder why the hell I feel so weak
I stumble fall to the ground
And then I wait for the sound
Of the man who bears the weight for me
(chorus)
I'm relatively clean
That is except for these feet
They've collected dust from roads unknown
I see the basin & towel
I give a humble bow
Wash my feet and call this new place home
(chorus)

Paint A Face

Paint a face, paint a face
Let 'em know you're glad you're here
Paint a face, paint a face
Let 'em know you've got no tears to cry
And nothing is wrong
Just singing this song
And skipping along to the joyous melody, yeah!
Paint a face, paint a face
Let 'em know it's all ok
Paint a face, paint a face
Let 'em know your bills are never late
And nothing is wrong
Just singing this song
And skipping along, skipping along
Paint a face, paint a face
Let 'em know you're never scared
Paint a face, paint a face
Let 'em know you've taken care of life
And nothing is wrong
Just singing this song
And skipping along to the joyous melody, yeah!
Oh nothing is wrong!
I'm just singing this song!
And skipping along the the joyous melody
The melody of lies.

Always

You left your scent
In the steps of my day
It lifts me up
I float along the way
You left your eyes
In the mirror of my heart
When I look in, I go on
Always, always
I will hold on to your hand
Always, always
I will love you 'till the end
You left your voice
It's here in my mind
Your words can calm all these thoughts
You left your taste
It's cocoa in my mouth
I taste more, I want more
(chorus)
I cannot touch, when space widens
Time rules our lives, but I will wait
I cannot touch, when space widens
Time rules our lives, but I will wait
(chorus)

Painter At Bay
04:14
|

Work my job in different places
I put on my different faces
I'm content to pay my debtors
They're content to lock my fetters
I can dream in brilliant colors
Go from sketch to brush to rollers
Purposeless if bound by timecards
Purposes now we should find ours
I'm a painter at bay, behind the counter
A painter at bay, at least I found her
I'm breaking these strings, but time permitting
I'm trying to sing, but I think of quitting
Everything, everything
Painter at bay, I'm wasting away
Shelve your brush and take this shovel
Fill the furnace wear this muzzle
Don't let passions overtake you
Don't let inspiration shake you
What I love lies in a box and
There ain't no key 'cause there ain't no lock now
Do you love me, do you hate me
Kill an artist, suffer greatly, suffer greatly
After all, the ends should have their means
After all, life is more than painted scenes, oh
After all, the grounded life is best, yeah
But after all of this, I'd rather fail that test!
(chorus)

Saul & David

Ok, it is gone
Gone for now
Ok, come inside
Come in my house
Don't say "later on"
You can trust me
Please stay, sing a song
And wash me clean
Play the harp for me
Relieve my misery
And sing
Every soaring song
With melodies so strong
Daily exercise
This madness in my eyes
Expel
The spirit locked within
The source of all my...
Ok, it is gone
Gone for now
Ok, come inside
Come in my house
Don't say "later on"
You can trust me
Please stay, sing a song
And wash me clean
(chorus)
Ok, come inside
Come in my house
(chorus)

Dam It No More

Water behind the Hoover
Potential energy builds
Bricks crack & leak
This massive structure's turning weak
Maybe I'll fill a lake
Maybe I'll fill the ocean
Perhaps I'll fill the sea
But I can't dam it any more
Water spills over
The earth shakes and trembles
You can hear a collective pause
dropped jaws
broken laws
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
Plug the holes with tradition
Bring forth the volunteers
Faster now!
Faster now!
The painter sees the fruition
Call forth his deepest fears
Faster now!
Faster now!
Maybe I'll fill a lake
Maybe you'll fill the ocean
Perhaps we'll fill the sea
But we can't dam it anymore
Maybe we'll fill the lake
Maybe I'll fill your ocean
Maybe we'll fill the sea
But I can't dam it anymore
