new song #2 for May 1st live recording concert

Don't Cling

The city died that night
Except for one stubborn family
Left to clean up the place

It might have worked out alright
If they hadn't been so addicted
To treachery and disgrace

Don't cling to the ones
Who hurt you
Run away
Run away
Don't cling to the ones
Who hurt you
Run away
Even if you're bound to stay

The blood feuds decades long
The unequal distribution
Of money, love, time, and space..

And with their wretched games
They eventually extinguished
Last vestige of the human race.

Don't cling to the ones
Who hurt you
Run away
Run away
Don't cling to the ones
Who hurt you
Run away
Even if you're bound to stay

If they were the last people on earth
I would still be tempted
To lock my doors at night....

new song #1 for May 1st live recording concert

THE NEIGHBORS

She's not sure about the neighbors
They laugh a little bit too loud
And they seem awfully complacent
About the massing of the crowd;

She's not sure about the neighbors
They're always waltzing on the lawn
And while the towers burn around them
They sleep contented way past dawn.

She's not sure about the neighbors
When they smile at her and wave
Do they see an actual person
Or just another soul to save?

She's not sure about the neighbors
And wonders what will come to pass
When the sun falls on this empire
And turns the sands of time to glass.

She's not sure....about the neighbors....about the neighbors.....
