All songs by Lora Nigro Will you take care of me Throughout eternity Are you a trinity Or in me Just semantics Merely politics Another heretic I just want to know Why does humanity Deny insanity Letting vanity And greed rule If you are god What of the food chain Cold rain waters our grave If we are god What of society Is this our destiny I just want to know... Are we evolution A revolution Did we pass or fail Create a living hell Now that the tale is gone What will sustain us What will become of us I just want to know... I turned to every group I paged through every book Still I can’t find the truth Truth is elusive I asked the old and wise How do I reach the skies Now I see through the lies You are elusive Will you take care of me Throughout eternity Will you take care of meTHATS NOT WHAT I HEARD A misconstrued conversation Becomes a doubt in someone’s head It's taken in, a subtle spin And then repeats again By seven-fold the story told Is already sold Becomes a stain on someone’s name Another claim to innocence Does it make one good Does it make one bad Will you cover me Will you cover me A misconstrued conversation Too tempting to resist Deceiving charm Unleashing harm I am at your mercy Does it make one good Does it make one bad Will you cover me Will you cover me Does it make one good Does it make one bad Will you cover me Will you cover me with silenceFLESH AND BLOOD The reflected light Casts a shadow On our human plight In this battle Calling on our gods Do they hear our cries Do they mourn the loss When a hero dies Are we alone here Far from home here We are only flesh and blood We are only flesh and blood From her side we were born From the womb we were shown We are fragile beings In this body Trapped in time and space Passing moments Showing on our face Are we left to wait As we contemplate What will be our fate Does it end here Or begin here Are we only flesh and blood Are we only flesh and blood From her side we were born From the womb we were shown Isolation cracks In the shadows Letting in the light When we follow Where the spirit speaks When our will is gone Love is what it seeks It will make us strong We’re not only flesh and blood…I AM It has a name the doctors call it It doesn’t have a cure Though many books have been written on it It can’t be known for sure I’m programmed to be as I am as I am I don’t need you to heal me I am as I am It has a face a blemish on it It lives without a soul It feeds on fear and lack of knowledge That’s what makes it grow I’m programmed to be as I am as I am I don’t need you to change me I am as I am There’s a gene suspected for it That can’t be found It wears a mask and its shadow Is always aroundDISCONNECTED I wonder if it’s better to whisper You don’t hear me when I scream Your passion too rarely seen Can materialize before your eyes on the screen All eyes on the screen Don’t kid me your view is amazing But inside your soul is sleeping Now the life we fell back on is reality No longer the dream All I see is disconnection All that breeds is apathy All I see is disconnection Year after year of silence Has made a bed of lying A cozy place of hiding Civilized, trivialized All eyes on the screen All eyes on the screen You tell me how much you love me But your actions speak of hostility Behind the mask of naivete We may finally meet All I see is disconnection All that breeds is apathy All I see is disconnection I wonder if it’s better to whisperGOLD Searching through time Hidden trails the book of life to find Is my name there Practicing to sign Giving it all Even if it all Isn't beautiful To be written Above my name In letters of gold With you by my side Love and fear penetrate bone Grace is the sacrifice That carries our load Learning to pray Every day every word I say Is reassuring Under your name In letters of goldDARWINS THEME Hear it in the spiritNAKED I can’t sleep at night sometimes Lay there in my bed Thoughts and doubts Besiege my head These feelings like ghosts Haunted, surreal I barely breathe When they appear Unashamed and naked A tremor inside Travels up my spine Is dormant Only some of the time My heart is not pure Jealous is my love Easier to hide Than forgive myself Unashamed and naked Free of my covering FreeACTS In her we’re born we love and have our meeting In him we grow and learn to find our way In all we seek we’re drawn that we discover In him we move In her we dance we play and have our spirit In him we stand to face what we must do In all we have the key that we uncover In him we move and breathe And the thought of him the thought of us The heart of her the heart of us The thought of him the thought of us The heart of her In her we’re cursed to live with deepest aching In him we’re sold to trade for what we need In all we’re blessed we’re free that we may know In him we move and breathe and have our being And the thought of him the thought of us The heart of her the heart of us The thought of him the thought of us The heart of her In him we move In her we breatheSTILL Still a bird sings Still a mountain stands Still the waters pour out their hands Still a kind word Still takes fewer words To exbio What nothing can Everything is fine In this moment Everyone is free In this moment And the only goal Is to taste this sweet moment Still a band plays Still an angel brings Lovers to pause And take it in Still a baby Draws a first breath A single life Can change the world Everything is fine In this moment Everyone is free In this moment And the only goal Is to taste this sweet moment This sweet moment SweetSPIRIT GARDEN Who is blowing out the waves I saw the culprit Walking near the bay The waters parted yesterday No one really cared Everyone was headed their own way There are two voices scratching at my soul One is sort of sweet The other bellows from below Yesterday I heard them argue But I didn't care I was on my way to anywhere Leaving space for me A place where we can be together Who forgot to water all the trees I heard some laughter Echo in the breeze My sweet voice said hey I bet there's life up there I was on my way to anywhere Leaving space for me A place where we can be together In the spirit gardenDIVIDED I don’t like plastic plants you know I don’t like modern art prints I’m not much into office machines It’s easier just to talk to someone I’ve been fired a hundred times Come get your things another time It’s not that you’re not good enough We don’t know how to take you I don’t want to go I don’t want to stay So many walls in front of me But I’m still gonna find my way I don’t have good direction and I have no sense for money I’m fifteen minutes late for stuff It’s easier to say that’s how I am I’ve been laughed at a hundred times You’re living in a another world You’re certainly sincere enough We don’t know how to take you I don’t want to go I don’t want to stay So many walls in front of me But I’m still gonna find my way I don’t like picket fences Unless they’re in a pretty painting I’m not much into solid lines It’s better to let them blend into gray I’ve been picked on a hundred times It’s fun to get you all upset You’re cute and oh so serious We don’t know how to take you I don’t want to go I don’t want to stay So many walls in front of me I’m still gonna find my way homeI AM It has a name the doctors call it It doesn’t have a cure Though many books have been written on it It can’t be known for sure I’m programmed to be as I am I don’t need you to heal me I am as I am It has a face a blemish on it It lives without a soul It feeds on fear and lack of knowledge That’s what makes it grow I’m programmed to be as I am I don’t need you to change me I am as I am There’s a gene suspected for it That can’t be found It wears a mask and its shadow Is always around I’m programmed to be as I am I don’t need you to change me I am as I am I’m content to be as I am I need you to love me I am as I amRIVERS PRAYER I am in the river Drink from the river’s mouth My mind is resting My body carried The soul of the river cries to me Please heal the earth I am in the river Drink of the river’s strength The river knows me And patiently waits The soul of the river cries to me Please heal the earth I am in the river Washed in the river’s tears I cross the river My heart is resting The soul of the river cries to me Please heal the earthDELVE You got me but there is more Something driving at the core Look beyond what you see You will find the door to me So much to appreciate Take your time dear I can wait If you think it should be easy Baby you will never please me You got to delve Delve into me If you don't like what you see You don't see the whole of me Don't stop to condemn Many facets to a gem Step through the shield around me I’m inviting you to know me You got to delve Delve into meALWAYS LOVE YOU Once upon a time I still loved you You were like a sad song always playing You were like a cloud of sunshine reflected in a tear Count them as they fall around me Count them as they and splatter to the ground When I think of you I hear your voice Still the sweetest sound Once upon a time I still loved you You were like a deep wound always hurting You were like a bolt of softness reflected in a kiss Count them as they sear into me Count them as they knock me to the ground When I think of you I hear your sigh Still the sweetest sound Maybe if I chance to meet you Maybe part of me will still want you Maybe I will always love you Always love youNO GOODBYES In another life I was a kite You held me in the wind with all your mite Along the sandy beaches mingling with the clouds I was glad to be with you In another life you were a king I served you all your meals and everything You were sick I nursed you though I often cursed you I was glad to be with you You can throw me to the ocean floor You can throw me back In another life you were a tree I sowed you nurtured you so tenderly Even when the cold covered up your life I was glad to be with you In another life I was a man I loved you so I asked you for your hand Though your vagrant heart wasn’t quite with me I was glad to be with you I feel as if I’ve known you We’ve been through this many times before You can throw me to the ocean floor You can throw me back I will swim for your shoreREDEMPTION I know about the issues Of the left and right I know about the prejudice Towards certain ways of life I know about collective sin The sins against the earth I know about redemption I have carried it from birth I feel good I know about your pain I know about your trials I know about your burden I carry it inside I know about your failures The failures we don’t trust I know about redemption It is waiting there for us I feel goodFEED ME No miracles in these streets only crime So far my journey has been long I was born a seeker I’ll be seeking till the end Seekers They say if you miss the mark don't throw stones Yet I like to sit and judge I’ll lay down my vanity when I lose my youth Forces Yes I want yes I need I am hungry feed me Yes I want yes I need I am lonely be with me No contentment in this house only rules Why should I follow when I feel I was born a seeker I’ll be seeking till the end Seekers They say the chosen ones belong to something grand Maybe I’m not in control We are separated by a wall of gravity Sometimes Yes I want yes I need I am hungry feed me Yes I want yes I need I am lonely be with meSILENCE The trumpets are silent today Darkness has poured into day The stars of night nowhere to be found Angels make not a sound I can't erase the thought of you the sight of you I can't erase the smell of you the touch of you I miss every part of you part of you is left behind I pray that you remember The waters are quiet and still Creatures move not of their will The branches closed and apart Darkness has found my heart I can't erase the thought of you the sight of you I can't erase the smell of you the touch of you I miss every part of you part of you is left behind I pray that you remember The trumpets are silent. |
