Well the plane might crash so you grab your seat Clutching underwater dreams that make you feel so cool And you clear your throat to get it out You almost feel the need to shout, but look who fears a fool Do you hear hammering? Do you hear hammering? Do you hear hammering? Do you hear hammering? Well it's all a mystery, you know You found the answer long ago, do you think that it's enough? And you're upside down in a gleaming box Settling into sagging thoughts, do you think it's getting tough? Do you hear hammering? Do you hear hammering? Do you hear hammering? Do you hear hammering?

Too small to seem young Too afraid to seem scared Not too good at being a fool When suddenly, what you see, is all that's there White coated minds play White violet eyes look away White capped guys have lots to say The sound of hands, footsteps and plans And days decay away, the backward glance is not forgotten You turn your eyes away, cause you're scared But I'm not there I'm not there I'm not there I'm not there

Stephen 04:50
Stephen was a man who painted business signs He lived, brush in hand, tracing endless lines And when he cried, his god did sleep And when he died, his wife did weep Easter was the time when he thought he'd rise He put his brush down, then he closed his eyes And then he cried, he was awake And when he died for goodness sake Stephen sold his brush, then he sold his eyes But he kept his soul, and it grew by and by

It's golden sight It's Jesus bright It's the thread on your coat It's the hole in your boat And you stare (And you know that it's real) And you stare (And you know what you feel) And you stare (And you know that it's real) And you stare (And you know what you feel) It's what you are Letter openin' Words are creeping in and it's sinking in and you're sinking in You stare (And you know that it's real) And you stare (And you know what you feel) And you stare (And you know that it's real) And you stare (And you know what you feel) And it's there It's there It's there It's there

If all the numbers shone, frightening in the sky And all the world was stone, I'd find you when I try If everything can grow, everything can die The sun can warm the stone, the day can last a while If we could dig a hole, where all our words were dry We'd cry until we know the moon can fill the sky The numbers blurred and slowed, I dreamt with opened eyes And all the world was morning, until it all goes by

about

Michael Droske Texarkana, Texas

Mike Droske is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who wants to reach deep into the dust of 60s psychedelia, throw it across an afternoon sunbeam, and diffuse laser light through it. I currently am building a self-sufficient homestead in Texas where I can record music with my friends & family and explore how to live and create in a better world. ... more
