No Rain Remain 03:54
lyrics
buy track
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 02:00
lyrics

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 04:12

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
lyrics
buy track
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)

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 03:29
lyrics
buy track
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

about

Built on an acoustic-based foundation, the songs on Steve Wilkins debut EP are filled with movement and mood taking on a genre classification of their own. Released this past June, No Rain Remain contains six songs of diverse themes that somehow seem to gel together as a cohesive whole with an underlying statement speaking of the struggle between balancing a responsible life and satisfying a wellspring of creative impulses.
