Wait Any Longer

Oh it’s getting late
Why you runnin
Why you headin to town
Are you on your own
Did u need someone to hang around
The things they say they make u bury ur head,
ur head in the ground
I wake up everyday and I hear those same old sounds
So please dont ask me why tonight (harmony on Ab/Eb?)
I can’t wait any longer
I’ve been waiting all my life
Turn another page,
There aint nothing
But your feet on the ground
The path has overgrown
Never know which way the road goes down
Just a twist of fate
Now it’s coming faster than the clouds
Wake up everyday I hear those same the old sounds

Nickels and Dimes
04:30

If there's a way I need to find
How to turn nickels into dimes
I hope some day you’ll realize
It’s not about when you arrive
It ain’t no use to wonder why you just gotta live your life
I know my place and bide my time
Yet still it goes
Everyday you love your life and you scrape by hoping somewhere
Hoping somewhere there’s a light in the big sky
If there's a way I need to find
How to turn nickels into dimes
I hope some day you’ll realize
It’s not about when you arrive
It ain’t no use to wonder why you just gotta live your life
I know my place and bide my time
Everyday you love your life and you scrape by hoping somewhere
Hoping somewhere there’s a light in the big sky
Days get longer every night in the lonely candlelight
Think of you from time to time

Hard to Quit (Banjira)
05:10
|
|||
|
Walk away, but it's so hard to quit
And everyday we all drink to forget
Tell me friend, has it been a long time
Tell me friend, is it your fault or mine
Or mine or mine

Float Away
02:52
|
|||
|
Do you see through your mind's eye
Looking back with it all the time
take a breath living your life
I keep my head in the big sky
At any time I could float away
Ask me why not a thing to say
At any time I could float away
Ask me why not a thing to say
No
Do you really want to know the truth
The things I see don't exist to you
Feel at times like it's no use
and when the sky seems to split in two
At that time I could float away
Ask me why not a thing to say
At any time I could float away
Ask me why not a thing to say
No

Please Be Nice
04:24

When I'm cold and I'm down on the ground won't you see
A little kindness is all I need
When I'm alone and there's no one around
won't you please
Won't you please be nice to me
There's love at first sight and there's what we had
When you ain't go nothing no it ain't that bad
Won't you please be nice to me
Can I live a life where I don't have to choose
can't pick a side if there's no win or lose
Wake up at nine just to waste all your youth
Well I'd feel fine if I live like you do
Make up your mind not to be like that too
When the world is dying on the five o' clock news
It's getting old in such a hurry
I ain't got time to look back
And all I have to do is worry
Why did my life go by so fast
Please be kind consider that
I know, if you never make it
if you never make it home
Well I just wanna know
if you feel alone
When youre on your own

Brother

|
Been put out Im tryna leave it behind
a change in the wind comes as I’m changing mind
I don’t know which way it'll blow this time
Been out on the road too long and I
Left a piece of myself at home
I don’t which way we’ll go tonight
And if I have to pay the price
Just to live the way I like
that's exactly
That’s what I can afford
I know that it must seems
Ive lost everything
How can that be, I’ve got plenty more

State of My Car
05:31
|
|||
|
I feel sometimes like my life has just begun
and overnight i forgot most everyone
if it's seems at times that I'm unaware
That just means there's less that I could care
Feelin at times like a self made millionaire
Half the time I think you'll go nowhere
Is it alright if I try and take you there
I don’t feel like driving that far
Instantly reminded at the state of my car
N im fumblin now cuz my car start
Took a while but I now take this to heart
You oughta know by now
No matter how it seems
When you tow the line
The edge of your dreams
You oughta know by now
No matter how it seems
When you find it out
you’re lost in between
I feel my find turning till I fall drunk
Feel my eyes burning straight into the sun
And overnight I forgot most everyone
Feel at times like we'll go nowhere
If it’s alright I would like to take you there
You oughta know by now
No matter how it seems
When you tow the line
The edge of your dreams
You oughta know by now
No matter how it seems
When you find it out
you’re lost in between
A river so deep and wide
an unresting sea
no matter how you try
you can't get to me

Allisan

Oh Allisan, don’t leave me far behind
Oh Allisan I’ll keep you close in mind
And I’ll try now to sleep
As I lie down I hope to see
Don’t you notice all the time it takes
The find the parts of a heart that breaks
Listen close if you hope to find
When one door closes anothers open wide
Ooos
Whatever road I'm on yeah it seems to blur my vision
Oh I won't take too long

Windfucker (jebivjetar)

Oh well I have found
To get away from what holds me all down
Is easier said than done
if you’re always living on the run
Its just the way of the life
I watch days turn into nights
And after all that I’ve seen
You’d be drinking bottles clean
Every day going to different states
Where they don’t know my name
Got so lost I think we got it made
Dining in the shade
Fight against the wind, my friend,
That’s where it all began
To see within
Thats where it all began
And came again
Thats where we all began
Verse:
Oh well I have found
To get away from the same old town
Is no course for the faint
If you can’t exercise restraint
Its just the way of the life
I watch days turn to whiskey tides
And after all that I’ve watched
We’re all trying to beat the clock
Everyday im in a distant place
They don’t know my name
Looking back I get a bitter taste
At the price we paid
With no avenue of escape
And only time to race
Fight against the wind, my friend,
That’s where it all began
To see within
Slept in the sun, been washed in the rain
When the wind comes back to dry me out again
If i”m gonna be leavin here in a matter of days
Don’t go believin in all the things that they say

Forest Ray Seattle, Washington
Forest Ray is a psychedelic rock project whose dedication to analog recording has harbored a darker, older and more intimate sound. Forest Ray's music combines guitar driven psychedelic rock with tinges of raw synth-laced post-punk, Tropicalia flute and uninhibited performances that embody the garage punk aesthetic that fueled the group’s creation ... more
