lyrics

I have held my newborn the first minute of her life
And kissed the warm faces of loved ones that just died
Known closeness and trust that I thought would never break
And betrayals in which I guess I sometimes did partake

They gave me honor rolls and medals with my head in the clouds
But the playground humiliations were what life was truly about
I used to pull my covers over my eyes in case there were ghosts
I waited for signs that never came and that never needed to show

What’s there to do in the end?
Emerald cities fade away
No promises were truly made
Should have kept them to myself anyway

Call my life what you will except for one of faith
No tradition or revelation augmenting the words on a page
Everything must pass everything will wave goodbye
Making way for the new lessons deployed into my life

The things that I have faced I’ve deserved them all and more
As I walk through the hours and approach each unknown door
And try to stay on good terms with the Deity that pulls me through
I could tire of learning but then what would I do?

Nothing to do in the end
Emerald cities fade away
No promises were truly made
Should have kept them to myself anyway

This EP is what you wish for. Not a "comeback" album of filler but a gift of, "Hey, we have some new songs, you want 'em?" Just inspired fun and yumminess. Jay Sprout
