The sun is setting on the mountains
And the leaves are falling on the gardens
It's a sign of what's come back
All the books go in the pack
I'll get on that bus
And share all my trust
And this year will be one
To write down in notes
Oh the sun is setting down
My girl is waiting down in the hall
She's got looks and style that can enthrall
She can make me laugh all day
Put her kindness on display

Scott and Ramona

One nite together
We kissed outside even when it got cold
And it wasn't planned for that time
The wind was freezging
We pressed our bodies close to keep us warm
Until we both became a rhyme
When I first met you
I fought off the league of evil exes
And I prevailed with my guitar
We told the tale of Scott and Ramona
In the band I will write of Scott and Ramona
When we wrote letters
We could get lost in how much we would write
It could fill a whole novel
I would sing to you
And we would shoot down all those evil thoughts
And move onto the next level

Our Mind Drops
02:58

A call in the nite, it was all a blur
She wanted him to try and save her
Tried his best to make things occur
To not transfer
She locked him up in a tower room
Outside the walls will lead to his doom
Temptation he will not consume
To keep their bloom
Maybe we should stop
Before our minds do drop
When we took our vows
Did we think about now
His points of view, they were broken
Maybe he should leave the door open
Spread him out like in the ocean
Keeping motion

The Sun is Falling
05:00
|

|
All those times we had when were high
Fell into a black hole in space
When we tried to find our own planet
That is when we took a fall from grace
When we didn't try to fall in love
That's when all the stars would align
Then those meteors we made ourselves
Came in to destroy our own shrine
The sun is falling down tonight
Hiding in the clouds
The sun is falling down tonight
Will we see it rise again
I'm from planet Mars you're from Neptune
Storms ran through your brain and heat through mine
When we tried to look for our own selves
We just couldn't keep on the line

Follow the River
04:29
|

|
Got dressed
To go out on a quest
And I was heading west
To find myself
I gazed
As violets would be raised
But soon they'd become fazed
Put on the shelf
Dreams wake up
Follow the river down
To come across that lake
But now I've hit my brakes
And I have stopped
All of these walls around
Have left me in my tracks
Now I must find a crack
Those who
I met as I went through
I came to join their crew
To break through storms
Then they
Were walking See 'n Says
I had to go my way
To some place warm
I found it
The water was dry
It's big and empty
When can I reach out

The Sun is Rising
03:20
|

|
We would form a circle and lay around the ground
When we talked of gossip we were laughing like a hound
Something came upon me and crashed into my heart
Found it like a feeling, said that we would split apart
Was I part of their gang or did I try to be
I could play on the strings, but I couldn't climb a tree
As they kept on playing the same old magic trick
I could see right through it, that it's just a little stick
If the sun is rising
I can't follow it
Because if I get too close
It will float away
Now I was all alone
Playing my guitar
Everyone would stare back
Like I'm sitting very far
Not a word was spoken
I couldn't even crow
I know I don't have the looks
Like Leo DiCaprio

I Must Stop
01:37
|
|||
|
It's time for change to come
I must stop while I'm numb
I've ran far
Without breath
I must stop
To halt death
When I thought I was in love
I could live on
Now that I'm completely void
I must save myself
I must breath in the air
I must stop and see the glare

The Sun is Shining
06:35

I see the sun’s out
And my mind is clear
Time to reprogram
For my next sphere
I had to suffer
To get where I am
Through of how this year
Broke down my dam
My fears washed on me
Had to break my shield
The sun shines down on me
As I walk this field
Through all the nonsense
Of playing the game
I had to ask the question
What is my name
I kept on looking
To see myself in the mirror
Gazed at my own self
Now it seems so clear
My dreams
I got to chase them while I can
Move on
I got to move on from this land
Heading to the sea
Nothing behind me
As I walk down here
Where the view is blind
I’ll keep on searching
Wonder what I’ll find
Now the sun is shining
And the grass is growing
Everybody’s coming out to play
It’s part of a cycle
We put on our titles
As we come out to enjoy this day
I have been though so much
Feels like I need a crutch
I've swapped faces with someone
Seems like it can't be undone
All my life
It comes clear
When I take a break here and rest my tired feet
I can think of all the feelings that I will meet
When I'm done in this chair I'll take a walk outside
Straight into the sunlight and take another stride
