Cast in Gold 05:08
in the first words i get to the urge to keep my voice right underground the second words i say the feeling fades away cause eyes goes wide when you can feel a sound the bass pounds spinning round this glow i know trying to find some bread working like a dog i know tail between its legs monkey see now monkey do i’ll do this till i’m dead men float when their broke don’t you know money ain’t no friend watching how this water flows flows back to the sea streaming from a tiny place you’ve probably never been it goes it grows your getting close the pacific is what i see the flow it slows and it knows that its home free cast in gold a heart will never mold its a long long road to the hearse when you’re scared of getting old and laughing on your own remember love, death it ain’t no curse sometimes i think in waves and try to behave like i understand what its all about but the more that i see the less that i believe that this world it spins all around me something that she said said to me love is what you are believe it and your free because i wish the good upon the people i love and love is one you are whole whole without me love and when its time to go go happily and when you’re on your own the wind and the sea will guide us home and we’ll be free cast in gold a heart will never mold its a long long road to the hearse when you’re scared of getting old and laughing on your own remember love, death it ain’t no curse

Shake 02:59
I feel it when the sky fades the last light it melts away to leap its such a long way go where the mind I'm told rolls and unfolds never thought i'd fly the crows way i tried once but i cant fly straight who knows where it goes and the wheels are spinning round im getting on down here a broken sound of where ive got to be making up the ground i feel it in my bones picking up speed how quick it goes you know its hard to know when we lose control feel it when the music play sweeping over time and space gotta shake it all away and feel it deep in your soul im part of a whole gotta shake it all away let the music play just thinking how we got here stuck working in the fast gear flash frozen cause the winters here some stories that were told make our hearts go cold clock out a spinning day and rock out cause i ain’t feeling tame burn holes in your soles when we set it free i'm hoping we can find grace in all the shapes that our lives take oh how i know the taste of things so bitter sweet and set out on your own ripping around this winding road you know its hard to know when your about to lost control just let it go feel it when the music play sweeping over time and space gotta shake it all away and feel it deep in your soul im part of a whole gotta shake it all away let the music play

North Park 03:22
i got a little story that you’ve probably heard about life in this city it be getting absurd its growing so fast lots of people making mad cash and lots of suckers making music and…shit i don’t want a house i want a home nothing fancy, just some land so i can try to understand this crazy world in which we awoke shout out to my people that just get it ya know, ya i know it was a quick trip i never meant to stay but when the waves they be rockin gotta cast away you know I’d never misbehave (ya right) but you’re surely gonna lose if you try to play it straight we livin in a world where that cash is king gotta build your castles make the jester sing this moneys making money watch the havoc it brings money got not mouth but it when it moves it sings it says we movin on we movin on gotta to find a home to rest my soul on the road gotta let it go i’ve been workin kind of hard but its hard to compete when the rents such a dent i get those itchy feet it ain’t cheap, living on the coast got me thinkin that perhaps my life would be better if i moved back east but the people in this city bring a smile to my face shout out North Park with its the style and the grace this neighbourhood is dope and so light on my wallet yil my place gets knocked by another condo complex but fuck that and fuck you we all just livin life and it ain’t about the money that’s true living on nothing keep the music movie through we living life for the love not the nice cars and nice shoes they call it gentrification sweeping cross my nation its dope as fuck until the dozer shows up until then we’ll keep it real in the core North Park street, it’s a party for sure. we movin on we movin on gotta to find a home to rest my soul on the road gotta let it go its hard to make a living when you do what you love i say the music is the reason that I be keepin this up its hard to make a living when you're living the truth you gotta love who you are you gotta love what you do community is when we live with grace first find yourself and then you’ll find your place i found its, but now its hard to ignore that I’m livin in a city I can barely afford guess thats what credit cards are for we movin on we movin on gotta to find a home to rest my soul on the road gotta let it go we movin on we movin on gotta to find a home to rest my soul on the road gotta let it go

On my Own 03:44
look out i feel the waves rough nights but the calmest days stuck here til the swell it fades burnt out, joint burn till its cleared away in thought, ya i'm lost again round and round no it never ends the hard road is when the freeway ends knowing that your heart holds strings that i can’t see flying up so high though i feel them guiding me believe it cause my heart knows when its beating up my spine find yourself and lose my mind you and me we let it be the things i want the things you need hard pressed left it on the outside now we hide and words I know been there before to stay or leave how is one to know love feel it in my bones i’m on my own set out, left to find my way right road, eatin' forks all day black white all i see is grey white light, black road leads you to the grave hey some things we can never know splitting hairs means there’s two ways to go babe the root is hard to know how is it these things roll round and round my mind push it up the hill dear rolls down the other side feeling like i’m stuck though get out of my head knowing that all lights burn bright until their dead you and me we let it be the things i want the things you need hard pressed left it on the outside now we hide and words i know been there before to stay or leave, how is one to know love feel it in my bones i’m on my own you and me we let it be the things i want the things you need hard pressed left me it on the outside now i hide words i know been there before to stay or leave, it keeps me wanting more love how is one to know i’m on my own
