Coin Toss 03:09
Walk outside in the morning So bright and serene it's calming Only a propeller plane off in the distance No one in my sphere feels malicious I wonder if today I'll feel better You've given me more to remember I wonder if today's my day No more trip-ups or snags The coin toss says: "Yes" I wonder when you're gonna come back I wonder if I'm gonna be sad Should I put my eggs in your basket? Should I wait around in this casket? I wonder if today I'll feel better You've given me more to remember I wonder if today's my day No more trip-ups or snags The coin toss says: "Yes"

Wrap me up in silver, Tungsten or white gold I'll put your name on paper Place it on the doorsteps of all the neighbors And it feels so good to be worn now Ah Ah Keep Me, Cherish Me When I wash my hands When the light shines straight through I am so convinced dear You were made for my ring finger And it feels so good to be warm now Ah Ah Keep Me, Cherish Me Keep Me, Cherish Me

Pay Attn 03:18
I think I know you Familiar soul A hint from the other side Could-I-you-remind How will I find out If you feel me too Cuz I think I know you At least I think I do This is my frustration You won't pay attention Pay Attention! Like a driver with a phone Like a father who leaves home Misunderstood languages Look at all you missed This is my frustration You won't pay attention Pay Attention! This is my frustration You won't pay attention Pay Attention!
4.
Walls 02:50
Feels like the walls are watching me Everywhere I go, everywhere I breathe Feels like the walls are watching me Everywhere I go, everywhere I breathe Beyond these walls, crying and cheering Taking record, placing bets on all I’m doing Is it really true, all that I’m seeing, Everywhere I go?

Pay your past now What you owe it Don’t short-change it Let go, pay debt Pay, pay debt Change it Change it

[You] Call me over You say let’s have a little talk I knew you’d treat me like a stranger Did we happen at all? Led me to the backyard Back porch swing looks more like a guillotine When your hand was on the rope did you shutter To think of the clutter? Oh, no, no Condescending Is that the new way you talk? Oh, how immature of me To follow where you had led on I was a trusting young pup Falling into your arms open wide You drained from me all the light, all the good I was made of And kicked me out into the lonely night!

Tomorrow 04:35
Well I guess right now, I’m still worried about how tomorrow’s gonna go They say the sun will rise, they say the sun will rise But does that ever compromise for the twitches in our flow I guess there’s always a little rain, I guess there’s always a little rain in the rainbow So from here on out all I care about is how I end today’s note And that you’re by my side, and that you’re by my side Making faces, making light of every hardship we go through I guess there’s always a little rain, I guess there’s always a little rain in the rainbow

Reception 02:01
What do we do with all these beautiful faces? When will I be able to gain your graces? Yeah, Yeah, Yeah This is what I’d like to call the reception Gather all your satellite dishes let’s have fun Oh, Yeah
10.
C’mon girl don’t you wanna come put my head back down to rest? Little girl, you wouldn’t even take my hand Oh, no no It’s been too many nights, that I haven’t slept You’ve been gone much too long, I don’t get no rest No rest, not in the least bit Sleepy Eyed Madness No sleep in this madness Sleepy Eyed Madness No sleep in this madness Not one book in the world can put me down As long as you’re gone, I just toss and turn around Not one pill in the world, could help me sleep Tired I still look for you, why did you leave? oh, leavin’ me Sleepy Eyed Madness No sleep in this madness Sleepy Eyed Madness No sleep in this madness Oh I’m gone to this place Where a dream can’t be wrong Oh I’m gone to this place They call me crazy, crazy Sleepy Eyed Madness Sleepy Eyed Madness
11.
Janelle 04:38
I’m not trying anymore to hurt myself You’re not trying as well as we all would want but Believe that the stars can all align Now they’re almost in a line When some shoot-off we’ll all be fine Our Creator who loves you is always on your side Little sister, are you trying to be strong? Little sister, if not won’t you tell me what’s wrong? Believe that the stars can all align Now they’re almost in a line When some shoot-off we’ll all be fine Our Creator who loves you is always on your side He’s on your side, He Loves you
12.
Long Lost 04:29
This is a lot of feelings at once I don’t know if I can say any at all Petition me, to say what’s on my heart It’s like asking me to end a war A war Love is Love is Love is Obnoxious Whenever I fight and only see them narrow There’s a broad bright light, I feel it burning on my throat You’re begging me, to care a little more It’s like asking me to end this war A war Love is Love is Love is My long lost friend (Love is) my long lost friend
13.
I just gotta say You left early No brakes, slow down Did you not want to be around? Is my name my own Since you left home? You passed the torch But the torch wasn’t lit I’m guarded, hardened on my shell I worry if I delve into this it’ll be it’ll be it’ll be hell Bolt from the blue, is that really you? Bolt from the blue, I see a striking contrast from false to truth Bolt from the blue, I thought I knew you Bolt from the blue, I thought I knew you But now But now Now I do! Bolt broke the shell Bolt lit the match Bolt gave a name Yeah that’s alright Dad that’s alright That’s alright

about

BOLT FROM THE BLUE:
uncertainty of life, unanticipated death, the estrangement of a family member, the return of the estranged, the birth of a child, the promise of a new day, the shining beauty and vulnerability of truth, the epiphany of purpose.

about

Mt. Mural Arizona

Mt. Mural has a healing sonic paint that they don't want to keep for themselves. Good for Interior and Exterior. Can always be reapplied. Here, try using it in your bedroom, backyard, at the pool, in your car. We've heard some daring people use it in their cubicle at their corporate 9-5. Unfortunately, due of the nature of this analogy, we cannot offer any medical guarantees. ... more
