Quarry 04:18
This salty man's a salty dog His travels have left him weary Got boots all lined up at the door He must be carrying stones again His salty wife waits on salty shores Tending the child she carries Washing his wounds with olive soap Hold down the fort he's on his way home

Civil War 04:10
As slowly I recall These letters sent to you As all things come to pass I anticipate that i'll leave But light a candle for myself (Chorus) Waiting for the letters that you'll send.....civil war At 300 strong Into the heart of dixie we roam We might be soon to fall But I hear that antiem is strong So it must be time to move Back to where I belong....I belong

How long we've been waiting for this storm to end (Chorus) Said we might go, where the winds they do blow Full steam ahead, The blind captian said Might take some time,We might whined up dead Just ferry those bones along that 2 note transfer How long we've been waiting for this river to run again (Bridge) Even though this water still runs deep I'm sure i'll find my way back to the shore And when the current pulls you under Hold your breath, nod your head To the rhythm of a soft 4/4 note

I sit and wonder a bit The more i'm conscience of it Oulived the old, so it's in with the new I reconcile my loss Place it inside this box Bury it softly now for no one And still I try to be The one from my memory It's hard to breathe when your covered in smoke Lets talk about something else Place this in glass on the shelf Bury it softly now for no one (Chorus) Still I can't I just can't believe How much you'll change for this world Still I just can't believe.....how much I sit and wonder a bit The more i'm conscience of it Can't stand the old so we're back to the new I try to smile, for change But I have this pain in my brain Bury it softly now for no one I walk these lonley streets My feet will carry the beat Reminds me now of good times gone Lets talk about something else Put this in glass on the shelf Bury it softly now for no one
8.
So many distractions The lefts pulling up and the right is undone Dealing with reaction The motivated mind is a dangerous thing Son don't pity me I shook the hands and collected the toll I stood upon the podium, and hide the skeletons So they will never know.... (Chorus) Robotic unlife like human forming void A symbiotic creation Titanic struts topple red letter zones Assert,proceed,growth is progress Forgo humanity, unrest fills the weak Look at my contraptions Gizmos falling out of every hole I explained my reaction.... Now look at all these shiney, stocks I sold.... (as we bury the weary)
9.
Stopped in your tracks With your soul locked away Buried six feet under Used to be, the game your would play (Chorus) Memories like words Don't mean a thing Unless you hold them in a certian way Like a moth to a flame You need calm from the day.....to day Gently rewind Emotions don't dwell Hold you hostage to your past They fall....they fall well....

This was the first attempt at the RPM Challenge. If you are not familiar, it is an internet based challenge to record and album in the month of Feb. I chose to create a rock-ish album with a little of my own style.
