Good Kinda Trouble

Gonna cause that good kinda trouble
That good kind of trouble
Good kind of trouble tonight
Sitting in my studio and wondering how
Sippin a beer and losing myself in the sound
And plotting and planning on how to keep our feet planted
on the ground
Everything that’s born it always tends to evolve, always comes to an end, it always comes to dissolve
This type of society isn’t any different at all.
Gonna cause that good kinda trouble
That good kind of trouble
Good kind of trouble tonight
You keep fighting that good fight even when the clouds come around
It may get dark, it may get gloomy, days will go up and go down
You don’t like it, you can sue me, it will come back around
Shying away from reality makes you look like a clown
Hold your head steady and see that the path that we’re treading
If we don’t change course, we may end up where we’re headed
Many have said it, and I mean when I lay it down
That we don’t have the time or the energy to mess around
.
And so I’m calling on the people to break from your chains
We ain’t got nothing to lose, but we’ve got this whole world to gain.

Afterglow
04:49
|

I’m gonna sing this from my hearts deepest desire
You sparked up a flame and it turned into a fire
Even when my tire’s stuck inside the mire
My love for you is never going to expire
You and me, we remember where we come from
And you can feel it, steady like a kick drum
We can move to the islands and be beach bums
As long as I’m with you, I ain't worried about no outcome
I don’t wanna let this go,
I hold on to this feeling
And then I’ll take it slow
Oh, your warm afterglow
I’ll hold on to that feeling
and I’mma take it with me when I go
But I, no I don’t mind walking this path forever
No, I don’t mind walking this path forever with you
Cuz I’m a lucky cloud underneath your blue sky
Warming up the sunshine every time I pass by
And your voice is a soothing lullaby
And I ain’t gonna be worried about no goodbye
I love you til the bottom of my well is bone dry
Until it is bone dry
I don’t wanna let this go,
so I hold on to this feeling
And then I’ll take it slow
Oh, your warm afterglow
I’ll hold on to that feeling
Cuz I’mma take it with me when I go

The Earthquake
06:18
|

I reach into my pocket
It’s like a ghost town
It’s like a ghost town
You shut your door and lock it
Nothing ever goes down
It’s like a ghost town
And the man says:
“You got some nice bootstraps, fella, have you tried to give yourself a lift?
I know it’s hard to move under all that pressure, but you just gotta deal with it.”
But I can’t afford not to dream or to ignore
The earthquake underneath our feet
Shaking us to our core
The path of least resistance
It’s how we’ve been living
It’s how we’ve been living
We struggle through existence
it’s the only choice we’re given
it’s the only choice we’re given
And the man says:
“You got some nice bootstraps, fella, have you tried to give yourself a lift?
I know it’s hard to move under all that pressure, but you just gotta deal with it.”
But I can’t afford not to dream or to ignore
The earthquake underneath our feet
Shaking us to our core.
There’s a thorn in your eye
Cuz I ain’t got no bootstraps left
They break more every time I fall
Some of us don’t have the boots that fit
and some of us don’t have boots at all
But we can afford to do the math
So don’t you ignore the earthquake underneath our feet
And soon to be at your door

Wanderer
05:51
|

When I sit down to my guitar
In my mind, I wander far
And when I listen to my heart
I get my pen ready and I walk that tight rope through the dark
When I think about the day
There’s a million things to say
But all that pain, it fades away
When I lose myself
The warmth in the music makes me feel okay
So I’m here and then I’m gone
We never stick around for too long
But while I’m here, I’ll tell you what
I’mma speak the truth and I’mma spread some love
I’ll spread some love
I’m gonna spread some love
Restless nights and scattered dreams
Life ain’t always what it seems
Whatever will be will be
But you’re never alone
Escape the prison, cuz you’ve got the key
In the Bardo, I’ll see you there
We’ll remember, become aware
Infinity is everywhere
And it ain’t no lie
You never needed to compare
So I’m here and then I’m gone
We never stick around for too long
But while I’m here, I’ll tell you what
I’mma speak the truth and I’mma spread some love
I’ll spread some love
I’m gonna spread some love
I’m a wanderer
You’re a wanderer
He’s a wanderer
She’s a wanderer

Year of Becoming
05:48
|

Do you ever wonder where this top will spin?
Or where it ends? Whether it has been all along?
Do you ever see yourself living in the eyes of a stranger?
Take a step back and see it all.
Do you ever feel like this moment, it isn’t just for some?
And after that day of reckoning, it’s beckoning you to take a leap
Take a leap into who you are
But I ain’t never felt like this before
Potentiality is oozing out of every pore
So keep chasing what you’re looking for
Cuz you’re gonna find it, so keep believing
Don’t make this world wait anymore
It’s the year of becoming
Have you ever wandered through the caves and hills of impermanence?
Do they have a place in your song?
Have you ever longed to connect with a distant wind?
It’s been whispering your name all along.
And I ain’t no stranger to pain
But every time it comes around again
I recognize the impermanence
And I try to keep living
And it always seems so strange how we can go against the grain
And still flow merrily down the stream
And dance within a dream so vivid
I ain’t never felt like this before
Potentiality is oozing out of every pore
So keep chasing what you’re looking for
Cuz you’re gonna find it, so keep believing
Don’t make this world wait anymore
It’s the year of becoming
I check the rhythm and I go and check the crystal ball
I feel the deep and warm love that we’ve been dreaming of
The stars align and All provides, can you hear the call?
There’s no need to worry, cuz with love we’ve got a free for all.
Your potential is calling for you to live it
And you receive that warm love whenever you wanna give it
It doesn’t cost a penny to uplift, but when you see it
You wont believe it, you wont believe it.
I ain’t never felt like this before
Potentiality is oozing out of all your pores
So keep chasing what you’re looking for
Cuz you’re gonna find it, so keep believing
Don’t make this world wait anymore
It's the year of becoming

Burn Away
05:18
|

The wind blows cold, the wind blows cold
But in my mind, it's the summertime
I kick my feet up and I feel alright
But I wish I felt this a day ago
I was stuck under the rising tide
The undertow was pulling me down all night
Cuz everytime I struggle, I pull myself back up
And I try to turn the page and focus on my passion
And I remember the moments that shocked me into action
The reason I am singin isn't for the fashion
I been seeing dreams coming true with attraction
Fillin up my night and day with my friends love and laughter
Dreamin big and seein which dreams I can capture
But the trip never lasts too long
Let it burn away
It doesn't last too long
The bliss or the sorrow
Let it burn away
We live for today
Not in the past or tomorrow
The sun is warm, the sun is warm
So I stick my toes into the sand
Listen to the music play the band all night
Can I feel like this everyday?
So light that I could float away
But you've gotta have darkness to feel the warmth of the light
I can't help but feel love live in every section
To you left and to your right is just your own reflection
And you can activate your potential through meditation
See the beauty and the meaning in your imperfections
If you let compassion lead your direction
You love will be pumping steady like the rhythm section
We can bask in the warmth and the light
Let it burn away
Let it burn away
It doesn't last too long
The bliss or the sorrow
Let it burn away
We live for today
Not in the past or tomorrow

We Can Make This Better
06:57
|

I ain’t gonna lie
The sun shining down on me, it feels alright
It’s been a long night
The darkness has followed us to broad daylight
and it’s hard to discern
but can’t you see the boomerang is coming on back around again?
And don’t you get burned
What you give is what you get, and that is always how it’s been.
And I can feel it
I feel the sun shining down
Warming up all our skin, I think it’s worth it for now
And the light, is just breaking through
Never any obligation to explain it to you
It’s alright, we’ve got ever-lasting life
Peaking over the edge and taking a leap makes us alive
So I think you’re alright
Remember the pills that they’ve been selling us have been making us sick
But the poison provides a sense of comfort that keeps us addicted
And it makes it so damn easy to forget
But now we’re on the verge of waking up from a dream
you take a look around you, you’ll see what I mean.
We can make this better
Don’t you know it’s time to let it all go
Time to really learn how to take things slow
keeping my head upon my shoulders turns into a big chore
And I know it’s just the way things go
You find a little faith, you find a little hope
Plant it in the garden of your mind and your soul
Nurture and water it, making sure that it grows
And in the end you reap the harvest you sow
The harvest you sow
And I can feel it
It’s in the air that we breathe
The way that we’ve been living ain’t the way it ought to be
Dollar signs in the eyes of representatives and senators
They’re piling up their mountain of greed
But they’re desperate to keep the fighting between you and me
With their corporate media propaganda machine
They’re hoping you never realize that it ain’t what it seems
Or that their way is not the way it has to be
No their way is not the way that it has to be
Remember the pills that they’ve been selling us have been making us sick
But the poison provides a sense of comfort that keeps us addicted
And it makes it so damn easy to forget
But now we’re on the verge of waking up from a dream
Take a look around you, you’ll see what I mean.
The signs are everywhere, they’re inside you and me
Together, we can manifest reality
We can make this better

Endlessness of Love
05:41
|
|||
Take me to the place I love
Looking up at the clouds above
They’re looking back and they’re whispering my name
they said “you’ve gotta path ahead, and should you choose to walk down it, you might stub your toe along the way”
But I will
Keep on singing my heart out
Keep on playing guitar and
Elevating my path of humanness
And I will
Keep on loving and living
Receive it every time I give it
It’s the endlessness
The endlessness of Love
Moving down the path, I see
Something warm is surrounding me
It encompasses everything and it boggles my mind
And it knows no boundaries
Everybody stops to see that which is right in front of their eyes
But I will
Keep on singing my heart out
Keep on playing guitar and
Elevating my path of humanness
And I will
Keep on loving and living
Receive it every time I give it
It’s the endlessness
The endlessness of Love
It’s there when you’ve fallen asleep
Helping you in chasing your wildest dreams
She’s so ferocious and so tender
And it’s alive in your darkest hour
It lives in weakness and rests in power
It thrives in commitment and in surrender
But I will
Keep on singing my heart out
Keep on playing guitar and
Elevating my path of humanness
And I will
Keep on loving and living
Receive it every time I give it
It’s the endlessness
The endlessness of Love
