Waves Verse 1- I feel, therefore I am All built up like a dam The pain overwhelming While the joy is so numbing Feeling it all, so overrun Want to be grounded for once Chorus- Waves crash up and come back down Waiting for the breakdown Feeling it all to the full Living in the push and the pull Verse 2- And it comes and goes in waves How much more can I take? The lows-so deep and dark When my whole world falls apart The highs-too good to be true Waiting for the drop of the shoe Chorus Bridge- Gotta live it all Breaking down the wall Can’t have one without the other Pain is joy’s big brother

Impermanent by Shu Nakamura 2020 Impermanent, nothing lasts forever Even though this life’s been so tender It sometimes makes me so blue Turbulent, things change just like the weather Come scathes and come pleasures My gentle memories of you Walks side by side That night I held you tight Talks about love and happiness Smiles on your face Imperfect, life is joy and then to suffer I wonder how I could make it better In between bogus and true I wonder how I could make it better In between bogus and true

I begged the moon, I prayed the stars I drank so deep, can’t get my fill I dove the deepest reservoirs I cast my net as far as wide For leagues I searched, for rumors told yet always unsatisfied Once lost, these dreams These lights still shine For the ones we left behind I saw the king’s gate, occupied Pretenders’ fawns surround the queen tears to diamonds where she cried I sent my prayers to ancient gods The hollow echoes still return I shake my chains, against the odds Once lost, these dreams These lights still shine For the ones we left behind Long as I remember, I’ve been running I’m running, still But, lord I never made it To the top of the hill We always want whatever’s gone But in the end, I don’t suppose There’s any use in holding on The things I dreamed of, as a child The tempest tossed the seas of young imaginations running wild Once lost, these dreams These lights still shine For the ones we left behind Long as I remember, I’ve been running I’m running, still But, lord I never made it To the top of the hill

v1: Sometimes I think I'm lucky I've got some friends who call it blessed No, I don't like that term so much It lifts me up as better than the rest ----- And I'm not holy, I'm not evil I'm somewhere in between I've got a heart that's unretrievable depending on how I lean There's something I've learned in all my days We all need to be seen v2: You think I've paid no attention but I've noticed every grain of sand I've loved every day and then some and there's something you need to understand ----- I'm no angel, I'm no devil I'm just clay upon the earth I'm so much worse and so much better but I know what I'm worth There's something I've learned in all my days We all need to be heard -- some sort of bridge -- v3: Now I'm not gone forever, but I might step away for a while Let's pull ourselves together Let's try to keep the heart of a child ----- I was wrong and I am sorry, but I'll always keep in touch You are strong, so I won't worry At least not too much There's something I've learned in all my days We all need to be loved

Red wine and honey, Sweetness it burns Coolness of evening Signaled your turns Seems like all the air’s gone cold today Knowing your savor, Need one more day Shaky by nature Goes to my head Painted our future Now we see red I’m a fool for you my setting sun Shine one more hour Then we’ll be done Red wine and honey, Sweetness it burns Coolness of evening Signaled your turns
8.
Yesterday you will be calling from afar to tomorrow's now If we're not home we'll feel appalled to have missed your call Our robot ears they will be falling to the ground Yesterday we'll be recalling to our now. Goodbye Arecibo goodbye and farewell Goodbye Arecibo hello Yesterday you will be calling from afar to our now There was a way to hear it sprawling from beyond Yesterday you will be calling Yesterday you will be falling Yesterday you will be calling from our now

See the writing on the walls It says “failures always catch you when you fall” So get out of the way Or that fire in your eyes will soon decay Has our Hero’s lost his way? Annie’s not the same as she used to be these days With yet another perfect scream She bit off more than she could ever dream Who knows Not me We never lost control Behave, believe Or they will tear you down and eat your soul It all makes perfect sense Our pasts are just an older present tense It’s another world outside Yet I will beat myself behind closed doors from the inside Who knows Not me We never lost control Behave, believe Or they will tear you down and eat your soul Who knows Not me We never lost control I’ll pray that I heal and one day I’ll return to take the wheel

I've been paying attention to the weather predicting if a storm is rolling in I've been listening I've been sitting in silence listening to the land trying to clear my mind doing my best to understand I'm digging in the dirt As the sun colors the sky it's the colors we imitate on the tv screen as we sit inside I'm planting trees under which I'll never sit And in the pain of reality and the relief of good luck I'm planting seeds inside the holes I've dug Making it my business to share the load Leaving only my footsteps wherever I go I want to fit the pieces inside my mind but nature doesn't paint in straight lines but as the crow flies you can see the worth and more it's a beautiful world worth digging for I'm planting trees under which I'll never sit

Sleepy Time Oh too late looking to seize the day looking to find a way sleepy time Maybe someday i’ll give it all my best Till then I need a rest Sleepy time I walk up and down the street Looking to communicate sentences I try to complete and words that I try to get straight Underneath the cloud of make believe Feel like I’m under the sea in Sleepy Time
12.
You’re not the only One who’s lonely You can hide and weep and lose your mind Smoke and drink, lose sleep, ask why But time has shown me That we’re all lonely We’re all lonely What you don’t see Is we’re all lonely You’re not the only One who’s lonely We all sing the same sad song It’s alright it if it all feels wrong But time has shown me That we’re all lonely We’re all lonely What you don’t see Is we’re all lonely I’m not the only One who’s lonely Swimming in a sea of blue Forgetting why I’m just like you Time has shown me That we’re all lonely We’re all lonely What you don’t see Is we’re all lonely
13.
YOU PUT YOUR TRUST IN ME BUT IN REALITY ITS NOTHING MORE THAN A FANTASY THE DANGERS GOING UNDER AND I’M NEVER GOING UNDER IT’S LIKE TASTING THE SALT FROM THE OLD DEAD SEA SOMETHINGS COMING OVER ME YEAH SOMETHINGS COMING OVER ME JUST LET YOURSELF GO, DON’T BE AFRAID WE’RE SWIMMING IN THE OLD DEAD SEA THAT’S WHATS BECOME OF YOU, AND ME LEAVING LETTERS IN AN OLD LOCK BOX NO ONE WILL EVER SEE THIS UNIVERSE WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SECRETS SAFE AND WE’LL SHINE A LIGHT ON EVERYONE BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN BUT THEY WILL NEVER KNOW UNTIL THEY’RE JUST LIKE US

Pushing the gas with brake still on Can’t get past a need for fun When there’s a moment, I’m drunk on dopamine And all I have to do is scroll for another scene Got plenty of tools in a basement downtown Make sure there’s enough to go around Otherwise I’ll make a quick run to the store Could be 1000 things but love my vices more Shot in the dark must have missed my ears Drowning in the dreams of a pioneer Maybe not last in the line but my number’s not on the screen Break to commercial maybe shortcut’s the key
