The Belly of Crisis
Verse 1:
I wake
In the belly of crisis
And I lose my faith.
I've had
A night-mare
I am frightened
And I lose my way.
I live
Amongst less-than-enlightened
My pa-tience is frayed.
Chorus:
But kind-ness
Mat-ters
Il-lusions shatter
And peace oft' is tattered
By mis-takes
Unclaimed.
Verse 2
I live
In the rat race of life
And I lose my faith.
I give
To the in-di-gent
Trite
Resource gone to waste.
And I have
Em-path-y for your plight
And I
Lose my faith.
Chorus:
But kind-ness
Mat-ters
Peace oft' is tattered
In-tell-i-gence scatters
In-to stakes unclaimed.
Verse 3:
I sleep
In the bliss of the night
And you lose your way.
I wake
From a night-mare
I'm frightened
And I
Lose my faith.
And I'll die
In the belly of crisis
A blemish-
Earth's stain
Chorus:
But kind-ness
Mat-ters
Il-lusions shatter
The balance is tethered
By all to reclaim.
Verse 4:
I fes-ter
In the belly of crisis
And I
Lose my faith
I stagnate
Stay in the si-lence of stasis
In-tell-i-gence waste.
Chorus:
But kind-ness
Mat-ters
Il-lusions shatter
And in-tel-lect scatters
In-to
All unclaimed.
Sing to end-fading slowly, but like chant losing vocal strength
I wake in the belly of crisis
You wake
In the belly of crisis
She wakes
In the belly of crisis
They wake
In the belly of crisis
We wake
In the belly of crisis
We are
Our own
Belly of crisis.

Strap up darlin, but first finish your beer. Time to go honey, your ride is here. Make sure you pass
I Cannot Be Tied Down
When I'm hung up on the nails you scratch my back with
You'd be nice to spend some time with
But I cannot

by Adam Smith
I live within my room,
it's like I live within myself.
I've got a thousand books
a ton of music on my shelf.
I'm afraid to go
This is Reality
Oceans Grab the moonlight from the Sun
We roam the streets looking for The One.
The Realm of god Flowers on
