Planks And Haystacks
04:25
|
|
||
You thought it out in your mind
You cut it all to decide
You wont fall into line
Leaving the world to the side
You said you’re done with living the dream
Reality’s become obscene
Finding planks in a haystack that you can’t see
Sometimes it’s all just a smile
Even though you can’t disguise
What your feeling inside
Gonna surface somewhere sometime
You said you’re done with living the dream
Reality’s become obscene
Finding planks in a haystack that you can’t see
Bought yourself sometime
Running through haystacks around
Gonna trip on a plank
Never saw it underneath
You fall but will you get up
Before you’re buried in hay
That you once walked upon before you knew
Once inside you thought you’d deal with the pain
But you realize the planks that surround you are big
Much too big to simply step around
and leave for another day
It’s time to come to grips
You said your lost know you’re found
Hit the wall now you’re fine
Removing planks from your life
For, for good

Eating At The World
03:45
|
|

You can be forced all your life
You can be taught what to say
When the chips are down who holds all the cards?
Catching the rooster muzzling its beak
It may crow two times never reach three
When the time comes will you know what you did all your life
You can be tossed to the ground
You can be cornered in the yard
But when push comes to shove, who’s left on their own?
Now I would suppose you’re not the only one
to never know
I’ve got this funny feeling it’s eating at the world
as a whole
How can the things that you say
Ever make sense while you’re biting your lip
When selfishness seems to rule all your words
So you’re confronted what did you do
Is it too much to speak what is true
Do you deny or you follow suit to save your self
All that you worked for and believed
Can be dismissed so casually
But when time comes you won’t be on your own
Now I would suppose you’re not the only one
to never know
I’ve got this funny feeling it’s eating at the world
as a whole

Come Back
03:44
|
|

You said you’re giving up
Come back
You said your race is run
Come back
It’s not over till it’s over
Don’t look back or over your shoulder
You feel you’re forgotten
Come Back
You were always wanted
Come Back
Seems your dreams are deserted
Don’t give up or skirt through the issue
Someone’s paid the price
Come back
You can still live your life
Come back
Seasons may come, and seasons may go
That rivers flowin
Don’t give up on love
Come back
Don’t throw away what is yours
Come back
Seasons may come, and seasons may go
That rivers flowin

What's This All About
03:24

Hey kid, what you worried bout
Hey now, what’s this all about
What’s this all about kid
What drug you taken now
To take off the edge
Off the edge of life
A beautiful mother
Loves you always
You push her away
Just to get a fix in
What’s this all about kid
Won’t you, open your eyes
To see what’s all around
What’s all around you, kid
Can’t you soften your heart
Before what’s all around
May soon be gone, kid
Beautiful father
Loved you the best way
We all have our problems
So don’t take on his
What’s this all about kid
Hey you, what you worried bout
Hey kid, what’s been on your mind
What’s been on your mind

In An Effort To Maintain
03:40
|
|

In an effort to maintain you throw
Away lives and blame focusing on the now
You cut what once was vital and promising
For a thriving industry
Now are struggling just to see a vision
Perhaps self-inflicted now will be deemed
The gifted
Not realizing their loses will eventually be
Their causes for downsize and demise.
Cut your nose off to spite your face
Is it policy or merely someway to place blame
Desperately seeking someway to save your ship
Throw your passengers over
And hope that some of them will know
To swim
Perhaps self-inflicted now will be deemed
The gifted
Not realizing their loses will eventually be
Their causes for downsize and demise.

Omnibus
02:17
|
|

You’re so caught up with yourself
You don’t have time for the world
You know how to save yourself
And that’s all you really want
You read all the fancy books
Using all their fancy words
But do you know what you say
Or is it just a façade
When they see through you what will you do
What book to turn to for the right words
Everything’s as if it seems
Motion captured in a frame
Pictures you take in your mind
View the world the way you want
Always standing 10 feet tall
Looking down upon the crowd
You’re the same as all of us
One for all an omnibus
Juxtapose you suppose
We’re that different
There you go time will sow
What you’re reaping

Best Foot Forward
03:25
|
|
||
Just because you put your best foot forward
Doesn’t mean your moving the right way
With all your heart you do what you feel is right
But one thing's for sure you’ll never know if you don’t
All the colors seem to blend
A tapestry of failure, faults and sins
Wake up, the dawn of a new light
Put your best foot forward once again
You feel the same you did two steps back
But you keep on marching just the same
Songs the same, the beat has slightly changed
Now you’re marching to your own drum
All the colors seem to fade
An empty canvas where your dreams once lived
Wake up, the dawn of a new light
Put your best foot forward once again

All You Need
03:54
|
|

You feel if you don’t follow
All you’ll do is wallow
Find your self worth
In things you swallow
Or material things
Things you store and save
When it’s time to leave
Who gets your posessions
All you feel, all you need, all you’ll be for not
It feels wrong, but in time, all you need is love
Can you stop for a moment
And reconsider
How you treat others
Can get you richer
You won’t be the same
Same as yesterday
When all you had
Was all you could muster
All you feel, all you need, all you’ll be for not
It feels wrong but in time all you need is love
You can’t, see, but you can learn how
Nowhere to be, you’re not meant to
No one, you meet, you can’t impact
Nothing you’ve done, can not be undone

Pomp and Circumstance
02:57
|
|
||
You picked yourself up from the ground
It was so unforgiving
You stumbled back into the fray
That you so selfishly made
For others that felt you would blame it
On the pomp and circumstance
That you yourself thought you could make
If it wasn’t by chance
It’s more than just, it’s more than just words
Why is it always that the ones
That have so much to share
Put themselves up on a stage
Where no one can reach them
Sometimes it’s more than just some words
Written to some music
Sometimes it’s more than what you read
Actions faster than words
It’s more than just, it’s more than just words
You see were made to live a life
Arms stretched, open handed
Forever giving of ourselves
So others may see
That there is more to life than
What it is that we need
But who we’ll be
When it comes time for restitution

In Motion
02:40

Wheels spinning with the wind
Moving forward every day
Catching the scenery
Still you keep spinning towards this thing
One day hoping to obtain
All of these things
That everyone says will make you king
But in the end
You’re left in vain
Wheels spinning with the wind
Moving backward everyday
Catching the scenery
And all the things that would make you king
Leave you in vain
In motion
Your simply spinning anywhere
In motion
With no destination
In motion
With no sense of direction in mind
Don’t you feel it’s about time

Brae Detroit, Michigan
From the throne of a drummer, to standing behind a makeshift cocktail drum kit, Brandon (Brae) Husken has gone from the back
of the stage to the front.
Chord shape permutations of sacred geometry, catchy melodies and a rhythm centric approach to song writing, the music is thoughtfully crafted much like paint to canvas.
