**************************************
what shades of blue do I see
when I look at you?
red, gold and green, like a Christmas tree
when you look at me?
I'm always blinded by
the brightness of the spectrums in your eyes
what brilliant hues radiate;
pouring out from you?
aquamarine; silver/green
do you get from me?
I never realized
the brightness of the spectrums in your eyes

The Captain's Lament
04:03
|

|
******************************
it's starting to fall apart
it's crushing my fragile heart
my men, how they trusted me
is this what's supposed to be?
they told me we need to turn around
but I just laughed
a captain always must
go down with his craft
they always believed in me
an I failed when they needed me
our time; it is running out
exploding; we're going down

The Secular Parents
03:42
|

|
**********************************************************
Throw your torches and pitchforks in the air
and wave 'em around like you just don't care
Another case; another mystery to solve;
they always think that a goat is involved
But the secular parents are chillin' in the park
having a good time, but never in the dark
Being kind and good just cuz it's
what your supposed to do
And the secular parents are having such a ball,
living the good life, godlessness and all
Being kind and good and not
because a book told us to
See 'em standing near us with their picket signs;
"GOD HATES FAGS" and those ridiculous lines
Pro-lifers wishing we would all just die
and choking on their American pie

Living On a Glacier
04:52
|
|||
|
*****************
sitting still
quietly watching as the glaciers pass
Earth has stopped
leaving you standing there without a care
you're alone
and it's powerful to feel so calm
this is your home
never leaving for 1,000 years
seabirds call
sometimes reminding you that you're alive
whitecaps crash
spraying the salty sea on your memories
********************************************************

Spectrums (part 2)
03:04
|
|||
|
***********************************
blown away; right away
forgot what the hell I was gonna say
mythical; mystical
all in the mind, not physical
colorful, wonderful
eyes like sunshine; solid gold
blow my mind every time
spectrums sparkling in a line

Matt Gurley Moore, Oklahoma
I raise my kids...I love my wife...I feed the cats...I clean the house...I mow the lawn...and I make the sparkly sounds... I use Garageband, my acoustic guitar, a shaker, a tambourine, handclaps and an imagination that won't leave me the fuck alone...
