I Held You Down
02:36

I held you down when I was trying to love
I held you up to a bright light so you couldn’t see
I held you back from what you could have been doing
I held you so far out away from me
I could have just held you
I could have just helped
I held you still when you surrendered your power
I held you under an inescapable spell
I held you high above everybody else
You were crying felt like dying it didn’t go very well
I could have just held you
I could have just helped
Oh what I thought we were
And what you felt there
Whoa so sad such different things
Oh when the lights go down
Nobody else around
Whoa your deep dark memory sings
As we grow and we are further away
And we know a little more every day
I can own my part in what we became
And I know I hope I won’t do it again
I could have just held you
Away from me
I could have just held you
You got away from me
I could have just helped

Step Away
02:48
|
|||
You have no power over me whatsoever
You have no power over me anymore
And if you think you can get to me
Never again will I be opening my door
This is the dimming of the light of your magic
It’s the finale of your scheme
You've run a web of lies ‘round so many eyes
But I’ve awoken from your dream
Step away step away
Step away step away
Oh I will never forget that beautiful day
When I decided to step away
You have no power over me whatsoever
You have no power over me anymore
Thought you could rinse and repeat into clever and sweet
But I have seen it all before
Step away step away
Get away get away
Go on and cast your spell 'round somebody else
Cause I'm a million miles away
Get away get away
Stay away stay away
When opportunity knocks got to break all the locks
And get out into the new day
It doesn't matter what the hell you did to me
It doesn't matter what it was for
Oh I`ve got people to meet, we`re gonna hit the street
And leave it all on the dance floor
Oh I can see you way in the distance
Smaller and smaller every day
Oh I'm beginning to feel that freedom is real
With every little step away
Step away step away
Stay away stay away
Oh I will never forget that beautiful day
When I could finally step away
Get away get away
Go away go away
Oh I will never regret that beautiful day
When I could finally step away

Is It a Lie?
03:01
|
|||
Is it a lie I’m telling if I believe it or a story I’m telling myself?
A higher power they’re selling if we receive it there’s a hammer that’s ringing a bell
If it’s the truth I’m telling and I can prove it how long will it stay in one place?
‘Til time and tide will collide and move it and I fall flat on my face
Whoa what you gonna do?
All waiting on you
Who you gonna be
Stand and deliver immediately
And if we all start yellin’ the truth goes to hell and then only the cruel can win
We gotta look inside to decode, stop denying the horrible shape we are in
All you need to succeed is one little seed and a truck load of manure
Oh the disease of greed has got us on our knees oh how can we find a cure
Who you fighting for?
Don’t get suckered into war
No there’s no going back
All on the attack
We all feel the pain
In a different way
We gotta help each other
Stay away from rage
We all feel the pain
In a different way
We gotta help each other
Stay awake
Pain is very sticky stuff
Try to throw it away and we all get more
Loving kindness works the same way
Give it away now don’t be afraid it can only grow
Who you fighting for?
Don’t get suckered into war
No there’s no going back
All on the attack

Please Love Me
03:35
|
|||
From birth to death
First cry to last breath
Whatever we're dealt
Is there anything else?
We shout, pray, rejoice, complain
All the games we’re playing
All we are saying is
Please love me
All we are saying is
Please love me
As the water will flow
And the sun says grow
Every minute yells yes
No end no rest
No escape no play to get away
It’s in our DNA
All we are saying is
Please love me
All we are praying is
Please love me
All we are saying is someone see my spark
All we are saying is don’t leave me in the dark
We’ll figure it out
We’re figuring it out
Across the sky above
To every buried chest
How to love and be loved
Is the one great quest
We ache, we fake, we plead then flaunt
The need is taunting, forever haunting us
Please love me
All we are wanting is
All we are saying is
Please love me
All we are praying is
Please love me
How long before we figure it out?
We’ll figure it out
We’re figuring it out
How long before we figure it out?
We’ll figure it out
We’re figuring it out
How long before we figure it out?
We’ll figure it out
We’re figuring it out
How long before we figure it out?
We’ll figure it out
We’re figuring it out

Love In Your Heart
03:41
|
|||
You are good you are kind you have love in your heart
It has not been beaten down it cannot be taken away
You have drifted and forgotten but there’s love in your heart
Can’t you hear it quietly calling everyday
I’m a pacifist at war why can’t I just shut up
Be the peace I want to see in the world
All these sad old ways will someday die
I need more patience in my unshakable core
Oh please please I hear you I see
There is grave mistrust in the hearts of men
While the chains of this world will not willingly break
Tomorrow we wake and do it all again
You are good you are kind you have love in your heart
It has not been beaten down it cannot be taken away
You have drifted and forgotten but there’s love in your heart
Can’t you hear it quietly calling everyday
Let yourself feel love
That’s what we’re here for
No don’t conceal love
That gets you nowhere
We don’t see eye to eye but we have to do better
Can we not try to fit each other’s shoes
All that’s left to do is work together
But you get to be right as long as you refuse
You are good you are kind you have love in your heart
It has not been beaten down it cannot be taken away
You have drifted and forgotten but there’s love in your heart
Can’t you hear it quietly calling everyday
Let yourself feel trust
Don’t want to miss out
Somebody stole your trust
Let’s steal it back somehow
You are good you are kind you have love in your heart
It has not been beaten down it cannot be taken away
You have drifted and forgotten but there’s love in your heart
Can’t you hear it quietly calling

Dying in black and white
Aching to take it further

Want to squeegee my
Want to squeegee my
Want to squeegee my eyes
Get too dizzy to
Get too dizzy to
Get too dizzy to fly
Psychedelic oh Psychedelic oh

Want to squeegee my mind
Hiding in a safety zone
Digging in the all alone
Digging’s what it’s all about
Got to get in to get out
Want to squeegee my

Get too dizzy to fly
Psychedelic oh Psychedelic oh

Sail beyond the sky
Look inside and outside

And it's all in our minds
We can do what we like

Feel this floating in the river
Surely pulling us together

Communism Toronto, Ontario
Wake up
Help people
Sing what you mean
Mean everything you sing
Your own
story
With your own voice
Rock from your heart
The right song at the right time can change a mind, an election
Make or find reasons to dance beyond yourself
You may have 80 years but that is one small window
Communism is each of us offering our best to everyone
Fail and start again
Keep learning
To love
All of it
