lyrics

Crash

Irony of circumstance
watching people wish they had
something in the shape of something new
I’m so tired of disdain
every day I pray for rain
to cleanse this city and it’s pain
absolve the streets clean through

ancient victims rise again
in the form of modern man
and stretch the patience of the hand
who feel they are blameless in it’s right

So take this city, take these guns
black and white and old and young
you’re fighting against what you’ve become

Crash

Seperation by six degrees suddenly is all we see
as the picture unfolds impatiently
after someone walks away
How is it we hold on to
the blinded beggar’s tamed untruth
when the peace that we are crying for
never saw the light of day

pick it up and stroke it dear
decision time is finally here
now close your eyes and take a breath
this is your lucid truth

Everyone is heading toward
the same goal on a different course
and when you wake up you might find out
the assassin was... you.

Crash

BRIDGE
What happens when the sun streaked sky turns cold
and the infrastructure is more delicate than bold
so everything begins to unravel and fold


When the leaves haven’t turned because it’s not time
A winter driven summer is unabashedly unkind
and you can’t fly south and you can’t rewind
It’s injustice – and it hurts

When the only thing we know to do
is lower our heads and walk straight through
because all this affirmative thinking feels like denial
denial of truth
denial of death
denial of us
denial of breath
and so we’ll hold it and hold it
into vengeance
and we’ll walk away
for fear of indifference

Crash

I walked outside, stood quietly
listened for my sanity
I recognize the chill deep in my bones
I’m so tired of disdain
every day I pray for rain
to cleanse this city and it’s pain
and it began to snow

Crash

Summer Osborne St. Louis, Missouri

You could describe her as the love child of Adele, Carole King, and Joss Stone. You could describe her music as folk soul, acoustic rock, and piano pop with glimpses of jazz, blues, and roots music. But you cannot confine her to a genre. You will laugh, you will cry, you will feel. Come join the adventure to feel better!! It is the evolution of the soul – one song at a time. ... more
