This is a song that my band has been working on and evolving with over the past year. What we've been doing with it lately is handing it to people who we think understand our beliefs, and asking them to add to it or change a line in the song.. in order to try to make it better represent the whole of humanity. Now I'm askin you all, change it up, make this song represent you.. or feel free to just criticize it. Of course, it would be better if you knew how it sounds.. but oh well.

Acid Sunrise- The Shadow People

A fabled sun is rising
Shining through the back of my mind
I'm not sure what you're looking for
But I know what you might find
Infinite depth in love
I can not describe
How many times
How many times I've tried

I breathe.. the air, it divides and
Sinks down, I drown in its wake
Lately I've been thinking
Our lives are what we've made and
Out of an infinite future
Grows a definite past
And the keys to your mind's doors
Just confirm where we're at

And life varies in every way
We can't predict the change
Truth is love is god
I am who you are
All of our experience is
The fractured mind of a species
Set in a material world
We are spiritual beings

How have you been? Oh, I'm just fine
You've got the money, but I have all the time
Where are you going? Where have you been?
We don't get to live this life again
As hard as you try with only eyes and a mind
You'll never know what I see with mine
I might be losing my mind
Caught between the truth in your lies

In time we cross a river,
And night closes in too fast
We've had our whole lives
To know it wouldn't last
The years all roll on
And everyone passes
A few more people missing
Who are never coming back

-Transition-

An acid sun has risen
Shined in through the back of my mind
We've found what we were looking for
I suppose it was here all the time
But no, no, no
I can not describe
How many times
How many times I've tried
