Woman in a Cloak
There was a woman in a cloak,
she had the antidote
I had to come on inside and see,
she said 'let me see your palms, I believe your darkness has come,
can't see the forest for the trees. Confused in the wilderness, chaos like the sun. Is it peaceful there?'
She said, 'lay low on the table and breath'
the sugar she talked put me to sleep,
I climbed through mountains, trees and swam the seas,
calling out thunder, lightning in my dreams
When I awoke there was a flower that I'd ignored for far too long
There was a woman in a cloak,
she had the antidote
I had to come on inside and see. - Track Name: Silverhawk featuring Sam and John C. Densmore - So Complex

So Complex
So complex, she's become
So complex, she's become
"I'm happy," she said.
But, that's not what was in her head.
I should have known she never added up.
I've been such a blinded fool,
secure she'd never keep me in the dark.
Since she's gone and flipped the switch.
She said, "Face the truth. You need me much more than I need you"
She said, "one last time,"
Made me smile when I wanted to die,
a bitter contradiction, so sublime
Calculated woman,
says, "It's me not you. You don't love me. You just think you do."
Should have known she never added up

Class War
Rent their House Rent their Money I need a lot more to live than they leave me yeah I need a lot more to live
Lost years in a moments doubt Now bankers own me inside and out Rich men cashing in , Basking in the plight of the poor, "What A bore", you say
"It's nothing new, the way that it is, It's never going to change, We work to pay their way, as it is." Class warfare that's their game
It's an old saw, The poor pay more, it's a bore but hey, It's just the truth don't let it get you down. We're low caste, indentured. Our politicians an talking heads drive in messages consoling while controlling us more. We're their whore. We say, "It's nothing new the way that it is. It's never going to change. We work to pay their way, as it is. " Class warfare, that's their game
It's all right on We get by on what we get by on. - Track Name: Brief Interlude With a God

Brief Interlude with a God
When you picked me up in your car to go down
and you told me I could wear your coat cause it was cold,
well I knew I better get ready for the long drive
I thought that you'd been counting on something,
that just might not be happening to you
I thought it'd be the same old story that you told me
in your bedroom,
that you could only go so far,
and how everything, everything got in your way
Didn't know just who you were, or where you fit in
and didn't know just who you were or were you fit in and
Instead you proceeded to tell me about a weird dude,
outside your house,
he was painting the trees gold and flying with wings on
He was opening up portholes to galaxies in the lawn
As you stood in disbelief, well he saw you
he saw you and he winked
and then he beckoned you to come,
but oh no you just couldn't come and
and then he beckoned you to come,
but oh no you just couldn't come and
He even created a pony with a saddle and your name on it
Well I just laughed and laughed,
and said 'tell me more, tell me more'
and the finish is that he hovered above the ground smiling,
smiling and winking at you,
and then he just disappeared without a trace,
trace into outer space - Track Name: Silverhawk featuring Sam and John C. Densmore - I Would Eat His Heart

I Would Eat His Heart
My flashback theater shows
things that i tried so
hard to forget
the movies never end
screens are lit up inside of my head
reflecting me
in violent dirty scenes
I'm panicking
All the time
I re-live again
the smell of him
and the taste
I feel his weight
his fists, his mouth, his hate
next to my face all the time
if what they say is true
we'll always be the stars
of the psycho films in my head
wish i could change my parts
I would take him apart with my hands
i would take him apart
I would take him apart with my hands
I would take him apart
And I would eat his heart - Track Name: Silverhawk featuring Sam and John C. Densmore - Swing
-
Swing
Spent the winter being poor,
Smokin and drinking, and not much more
Tried to find myself some medicine,
tried to get back with and old fling
It made me feel worse about everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Angels told me I was getting old
I couldn't use the same mistakes anymore
Father told me to be a man,
what does it mean to be a man
I'll build a castle to live in
I'll build a castle to hang myself in
From the gallows I'll hang and swing
From the gallows I'll hang and swing, - Track Name: Silverhawk featuring Sam and John C. Densmore - The Glow of the Sun

The Glow Of The Sun
i can't remember
Who locked me up inside
it's been so long since radiation's come
without a window
or static from the outside world
I await the earths return to normal
I wanna feel
the glow of the sun, the fear of the outside
I wanna feel
the glow of the sun, the fear of the outside
I wanna feel
the glow of the sun, the fear of the outside
i must've been unconcious
when i was tucked away
inside this shelter deep below the ground
They put me in here
to keep me safe from the outside
no the inside's made me feel so crazy
I wanna feel
the glow of the sun, the fear of the outside
I wanna feel
the glow of the sun, the fear of the outside
I wanna feel
the glow of the sun, the fear of the outside

Criminal
Hey Hey
What'd ya do?
Hey Hey
they're looking for you
are you afraid they're going to find you,
guilty as chraged?
Their voices carry
The news of your hiding place,
the news of your crime
you've been an underground,
figure for a time.
But now that's all run out.
It's harder and harder to be anonymous in such a small town.
They'll root through the gutters to the tops of the hills they'll hunt you down.
Their voices carry
You never thought it would come to this did you?
You were sure you'd steal away.
But your legs are tired and aching
Every friend's forsaken you
forsaken you
forsaken you
forsaken you
Hey Hey
What'd ya do?
Hey hey
They're looking for you
Are you afraid they're going to find you
the voices you've heard
you know when they find you
they'll see justice is served
their voices carry - Track Name: Silverhawk featuring Sam and John C. Densmore - The Plains Behind the Hills

The Plains behind the Hills
I'm traveling the plains behind the hills,
the place where your handsome pills have taken a hold on me,
on me
Waiting for a light that you can shine,
because the shadows are very dark,
and I've been alone for far too long,
too long
Stars like memories they hold my faith,
seems like infinity,
how long must I wait
so that the sun may shine on my horizons,
so that the sun may shine on my tomorrows
Took me in and tore me apart,
you drugged me and left me in the dark,
I should've know right from the start I was dealing
with the hardest of hearts
Couldn't find my way back home,
you drugged me and left me all alone,
should've known right from the start I was dealing
with the hardest of hearts
Stars like memories they hold my faith,
seems like infinity,
won't your memory fade
so that the sun may shine on my horizons,
so that the sun may shine on my tomorrows
