Sugar Pill

I feel much better when the sugar pill hits me

The brightest day
The fullest moon
The darkest sky
Don’t move me
And no one’s face
And no one’s voice
And no one’s touch
Can move me

Spin the old tall maypole down

When all is wrong
Then all will change
And spring is coming
Someday

I feel much better
(lyrics/music: Barlow)

Try

Well, the world looks fine
It’s the top of the moon and it’s cold up here
The lights shine bright
And dust the day where old hearts go

I’ve closed my eyes
I need a hand to hold a heart to keep me warm

It’s an uphill climb
And I don’t know how long I’ll be gone
Don’t count the time
Don’t close the door and go back home

I don’t need to fly
I need some time alone a room to call my own

You can but try
(lyrics/music: Barlow)

Hollow Bells

Walls play tricks with us
Never left to ourselves
Stuck inside hollow bells

These moments aren't ours
They belong to someone else
Waiting in hollow bells
(words/music Shaskan)

Break and Dissolve

And so it goes
Away from me
And so I slip
Away from here

No lights mark my way
Open

Taking down the night in turns on our sides
Sucking on the end of a day
Running from a rainy I know there’s no way
Got to find my hole in the sky someday

It’s easier than you know
Break and dissolve
(lyrics/music: Barlow)

Put it Back

When I fall down
You reach out your hand

(chorus)
It's all out now so lets Put it back upon the shelf

I reach for your hand
You come tumbling down

(chorus)

Now we're lying on the ground
I can feel all your love

(chorus)
(words/music Shaskan)

Stuck

It beats drinking alone
When tears start to flow
The room echoes louder now
And no one can hear

No matter what I do
I’m stuck in here with me

I can’t change these walls
Or my stupid ways
I’m getting older now
And maybe I can’t change

No matter what I do
Those days are gone
(lyrics/music: Barlow)

Salamander

Slipped a sleep too deep for words
Left my head up in the birds
And turned to a sliver moon

She dropped her summer coat of lead
And walked into the burning red
Who’s your mother now?

Sing salamander
Light your screwed up eyes

Meet me nowhere
(lyrics/music: Barlow)

Shipwreck Song

Lost at sea I don't belong
Treading water for too long
Stuck inside a shipwreck song

Her sails so beautiful, so beautiful to me
Flying on the open sea
Laughing at the captured breeze

Set adrift with no direction
Metaphor my complication
Honesty the only turn
(words/music Shaskan)

Slide

Wasted words are no more
Don't forget to shut the door
Your smile is always on my heart
Just like the stars

Pretty things don't mean a thing
When there's nothing pretty inside them

Fall around, fall around
Grabbing at the sky

Upside down, turned upside down
Learning how to slide

And I slide
(words/music Shaskan)
