A Love So So (Anders, O’Bitz 2020) We fell out of paradise Headin’ up yes it looked so nice We thought so But it’s so So so We landed a pair of dice Low rolls at a way high price It was so Far below Hey oh One time had a love so So so Tried to climb back to paradise Tried it once and then tried it twice It was so Far to go Hey oh One time had a love so So so Break So so Can’t remember our paradise All our memories not precise They’re just so So so Hey oh One time had a love so So so

Always Almost (Anders, O’Bitz 2020) Was alone Before goodbye Was more ghost Than alive Done this hauntin’ For too long Never there Enough to try Not for ghosts To ask why When our hauntin’ Goes all wrong When a ghost Not hard to lie Hard to know So far to go To be whole Always almost When a ghost Always one To let love die Another ghost With wonderin’ eye Yes my hauntin’ Has prolonged Never one For goodbye Let them go Without a fight Turned my hauntin’ Into song When a ghost Not hard to lie Hard to know So far to go To be whole Always almost When a ghost Break When a ghost Not hard to lie Hard to know So far to go To be whole Always almost When a ghost Not hard to lie Hard to know So far to go To be whole Always almost When a ghost

Twilight’s Last Gleaming (Anders, O’Bitz 2020) Starry eyes Blind to signs of the end of life Twilight Last gleaming not very bright Not very bright Traded love what for A love fading from the news Yes I ... traded love for truth Tired eyes Showing only dimming signs of life Lost sight All white stars and such wide stripes All too white Traded love what for A love fading from history’s blues Yes I ... traded love for truth My tired eyes Fading light Gleaming last our twilight Traded love what for A faded love from too much news Traded love what for A faded love from history’s blues Yes I ... traded love for truth

Horizons We Can’t See Past (Anders, O’Bitz 2020) Rode the bow while we’re sailing Over fast waters we flew All I needed to do was just hold on To each side Towards the edge of the world we just knew We just knew So high as we sail on We’re makin’ waves as we Are holdin’ on Horizons we can’t see past At all From our bow while we were sailing We could see so far we just knew At most three miles to horizons On any side A small part of the journey in view Oh in view So high as we sail on We’re makin’ waves as we Are holdin’ on Horizons we can’t see past At all Break So high as we sail on We’re makin’ waves as we Are holdin’ on So high as we sail on We’re makin’ waves as we Are holdin’ on Horizons we can’t see past Horizons we can’t see past No not at all

Love Unbound (Anders, O’Bitz 2020) Are you proud Asked a son Out of time Could you have let me know Told the world Resound Your love was it so So bound Too often it was tied To a lie Confound I’m so proud I tell my son Most of the time I try and let him know And tell the world Resound My love is it so Unbound I hope it’s not tied To a lie Confound Not tied Oh can change Come around, oh Around In time Your love was it so So bound Too often it was tied To a lie Confound My love is it so Unbound I hope it’s not tied To any lie Resound Not tied Not tied

The Great Unknown (Anders, O’Bitz ©2020) Why can’t you think, or feel, ask why Why refuse to see what’s been done Why do we work, and build with such might What’s the damage in the great unknown We have our hills, our shores, our skies Why can’t you just leave ‘em alone We have our booms and busts and your lies Heading for the great unknown We know that hope would calm the fright Brakin’ at this fork in the road Also that hope is needed to fight We know that hope won’t cure the blight Headed for the great unknown Need more than hope in order to fight We are the ones, who think, ask why We are the ones who grow We are the ones, who learn and who fight Who’ll be there in the great unknown We get the chills from such a sight That’s why we can’t just leave it alone We have our booms and busts and your lies Heading for the great unknown We know that hope would calm the fright Brakin’ at this fork in the road Also that hope is needed to fight We know that hope won’t cure the blight Headed for the great unknown Need more than hope in order to fight Dig it up Asking why Hard to know What is right Not hard to know That our future’s worth a fight We know that hope would calm the fright Brakin’ at this fork in the road Also that hope is needed to fight We know that hope won’t cure the blight Headed for the great unknown Need more than hope in order to fight We know that hope would calm the fright Headed for the great unknown Need more than hope in order to fight To fight

Sirens Go By (Anders, O’Bitz 2020) Home alone again now its day twenty-one So bored she greets the morning light And she wonders is that a fever comin’ on And now she’ll greet the night Sirens go by Again, again Her town is burning up again Home alone still and its day forty-one Energy gone as she sees the morning light Alone with fever since day thirty-one Alone and fearing the night Sirens go by Again, again Her town’s on fire tonight again Too soon again to try The local ER and that endless line Down with fever everyone in line Everything covered but their eyes Sirens go by Again, again Her town is burning up again Sirens go by Again, again Her town’s on fire tonight again
