The Unencumbered Ones (©2023 Anders/O’Bitz) Before that end is too nigh Open any book once prescribed Read enough to see Can’t find alone all life’s Supposed to be We admire the free Unencumbered ones Of ages yet to be And we dread to see Alone a setting sun All over Calm seas Before that end is too nigh Seek out some future left behind Risk enough to feel And find at once all life Can be for real We admire the free Unencumbered ones Of ages yet to be And we dread to see Alone the setting sun All over Calm seas Before that end is too nigh Open any book once prescribed Read enough to see Can’t find alone all life’s Supposed to be We admire the free Unencumbered ones Of ages yet to be And we dread to see Alone the setting sun All over Calm seas And we dread to see Alone the setting sun All over Calm seas All over Calm seas All over Calm seas

True Love Never Needs to Know (©2023 Anders/O’Bitz) When love can see you from inside You’ll have no need for reasons why True love will never need to know True time will only see it grow And grow If time it reaches you at night Please try to see beyond the fright True love will never need to know True time will only see it grow And grow We won’t have answers for why Or time True love will never need to know True time will only see it grow No love ever needs to know Time’s wasted if it fails to grow Fails to grow It fails to grow True love will never need …

So On Our Own (©2021 Anders/O’Bitz) They don’t know the signs Don’t believe what they call signs Please don’t trust any of their kind When no love there is to find So on our own So far from sight So on our own As we try to get it right It’s hard to know If we’ll see some light See any light See any light Can we know the signs Should we look for any signs Should we trust any of our kind How much love is there to find So on our own So far from sight So on our own As we try to get it right It’s hard to know If we’ll see some light See any light See any light Break So on our own So far from sight So on our own As we try to get it right It’s hard to know If we’ll see some light See any light See any light So on our own So far from sight So on our own As we try to get it right It’s hard to know If we’ll see some light See any light See any light

Sweet Youth (©2023 Anders/Brown) Sweet youth in the summer Sweet youth such a sight Sweet youth gettin’ burned By the sun in the sky This fire burns too bright This fire burns very bright It burns too bright The prodigal son Ain’t comin’ home No lost coin found tonight They ate the sheep Was lost and then was found All while gettin’ so high All while gettin’ so high Sweet youth in the winter Sweet youth such a sight Sweet youth frozen In the ground and in time Sweet youth burned too bright The prodigal son Ain’t comin’ home No lost coin found tonight They ate the sheep Was lost and then was found All while gettin’ so high Bright burns the sun at night A closer star in the sky High on their future, bright Brighter when they get high Oh so high The prodigal son Ain’t comin’ home No lost coin found tonight They ate the sheep Was lost and then was found All while gettin’ so high All while gettin’ so high
