Sleeping Softly in This Bed by David Husted Inside my house of mirrors I come into view when I’m looking at you I’m not so far gone I can’t remember what’s true Spinning dervish in the heat, smile the smile of underneath Conversing with your mystery when no one else is listening Stuck so deep this sweet love weeps Yet in-between something new is whispering There’s nothing left that I can bring Are you listening? Yes, I’m listening Stuck on a Velcro wall of memories You stripped me down, And took away my in-completes Then curled around me tenderly You’re worth everything, you’re worth everything And if I’m crazy; SO BE IT! ‘Cause you turned to me, yes, you turned to me ************************************************* Through long forgets and tired fights Solace flashes across the sky This world’s silent naked brilliance, her legs, her hips, her valleys More than a painted picture in a gallery That place where waves kiss, against my worthiness Where all of my anxieties swarm And fear insists on switching forms Building up more neural binds, rushing forward losing time Upon the tendrils of my sparring fickle mind May I glow inside your happiness Night gown slipping to the ground I feel compassion’s tender growl Keeping promises, entering mysteries How can love return when she never left? Sleeping softly in this bed

You Wear Everything Well 04:03

You wear Everything Well by David Husted It almost most daylight and it looks like rain I can’t complain I even like the gray On you…. wear anything well Puddles splashing up the side of your skirt Feel a laughter pouring out of my cloud A Fool…. Caught up in something that’s coming down fast Beneath the awnings, we make a mad dash On through…… Unchartered wet streets No clear road signs, find a small cafe Water trickling down your hair and your face Yet you………. ch You move move; you soothe me we feel the raining pouring down you wear everything well and theres is a part of me dark sky's can't hide away your eyes look out on a world wearing everything well (repeat) Wear everything well Its early morning still no sign of the sun Feel the thunder rippling deep in the ground It's new………. Perhaps I’m going insane If I blink my eyes will this all fade away? A blinding bolt of lightning take my breath away as You…….. Touch your hand to my face Caught up in something, I can feel its trace Love splashing up, I feel more awake It's true…….. I Love You Simple moments somehow made more real The rain, the mood, your smile, the way you make me feel ch You move move; you soothe me we feel the raining pouring down you wear everything well and theres is a part of me dark sky's can't hide away your eyes look out on a world wearing everything well (repeat)

DON QUIXOTE I’m a welter weight refusing to go down Aversions left hook trying to knock me out mind’s a pummeled , tunneled marsh-mellow with no clues Dave’s a nomad, oh Hell Yes Well, maybe, I don’t know, but I digress Hot and brooding rascal never ever willing to be found If you feel that close in cloy give me a shout How bout that high bye loud as you run out? can you see across the vast? muddy puddle pocketful of doubt chorus D B7 Em7 C7 Aftershock of Happiness Groundless ground of Don Quixote Maybe after the earth quakes He’ll pick up your pieces Maybe his smile is for you Got to love that crazy Reveling pilgrim Groundless ground of Don Quixote V2 Don’t wanna be another corporate ass with a smoked filled mouth of cinderblock and ash Never truly hated, but barely tolerated SuperMan I like a mustard, hot sauce coleslaw sandwich Writing poems in pajamas about life’s twisted origami and maybe next life while I’m curled up in her belly I’ll choose to be a beach bum guru rockabilly or perhaps I’ll be a Martian MacGyver or Vulnerable Lama, staring at the Kama dashed across the rocks Insignificant as God

The Un-Describable You by David Husted A slow walk forward Means a slow walk away It tastes like midnight And it feels like rain “Along magic streets Words I wish I said Receding shadows Those beautiful hours with you With you With you” Ch. Can you hear that sound? Lifting off the ground It’s floating up higher and higher Giant cresting wave Still Mountain Lake Mixed with a quiet love screaming An uncontained love remains true The Un-Describable You And if it gets rough White capped oceans It’s never enough I never bluff Throw in all my tokens I tell you I must Live in this trust Love’s more than a name Into the gust Love’s more than a game

V1 We don’t want you to refrain, We don’t want you so contained as we walk on through your city burning Click our cameras, shine our lights Slam the gavel down, or run and hide V2 This jungles thick and red, Another brothers dead Gonna talk us through a rumor gathering Don’t Flip off your TVs , Don’t turn off your lights Here come those sound bite pretty white lies CH1 We gawk and we squawk cause we wanna see a fight peaceful solidarity pulls our ratings down Our Judgement lines up on the wrong streets Dodging flying rocks and other credibilities Blind poverty pilfering treats Ranks of talking heads salivate on fiery scene Instrumental We don’t want you to refrain, We don’t want you so contained as we walk on through your city burning Click our cameras, shine our lights Slam the gavel down, or run and hide CH2 We gawk and we squawk cause we wanna see a fight peaceful solidarity pulls our ratings down Our Judgement lines up on the wrong streets Dodging flying rocks and other credibilities Blind poverty pilfering treats Ranks of talking heads salivate near on fiery scene

Wild Drive Give it some time Untie your mind noose Drive Lines Gently flow by Signs hypnotize you Lines Sing into the wind It’s not a sin to Sing into the wind Just give in to Wild Wild Ch. Tap your foot against the floor, Forget about the world, Give it all you got, Turn the music up, Smile, Drive until you’re lost, Turn the dial up, Never gonna stop Wild . Sound from deep under ground The space surrounding, pounding, down Shades; driving past the gravestones Knock the coffee over Stained Sing into the wind It’s not a sin to Sing into the wind Just give in to (Instrumental)

Hell Town 03:32

Hell Town by David Husted Fifty years ago on Sunday There was a fire at the old town throw Ignited up the coal seam setting off a devil’s chain 1,400 souls told to go Decades later that fire still burns Tourist gawk at twisted, buckled 61 And old Centralia’s empty lonely streets Yet a handful who still call it home We live up in Hell Town, We’re never gonna come down. Until we’re just a charred memory When they lay our bodies down beneath that burning ground We’ll be in that lazy smoke curling up the trees Tom remembers 62 he wore the red and blue Just doin clean-up for the Holiday “They Lit up that landfill, it spidered down a coal sill” “Fire still burning through that maze” Now Carl and Helen claim the fire ain’t a problem “Won’t find it winding down this side of the town” “But even if it do son, this much is true, I still ain’t leaving my home” We live up in Hell Town, We’re never gonna come down. Until we’re just a charred memory When they lay our bodies down beneath that burning ground We’ll be in that lazy smoke curling up the trees We always liked Centralia since we were old enough to stand it Their nostalgia shines a fine golden hue “If you stepped outside your house and your car refused to start” “The neighbor would come out and find a way” We live up in Hell Town, We’re never gonna come down. Until we’re just a charred memory When they lay our bodies down beneath that burning ground We’ll be in that lazy smoke curling up the trees We live up in Hell Town, We’re never gonna come down. Until we’re just a charred memory When they lay our bodies down beneath that burning ground We’ll be in that lazy smoke curling up the trees

Shattered Diamond 05:26

Shattered Diamond By David Husted V1 In the garden; deep in the soil of this shattering Grows a diamond to our better days Following the shining burning rays In Ch1 Where are you now Love? Are you tied up inside or out? Is that memory’s hammer crashing down? Feel that diamond shattering over Love V2 Our heat is rising, crackling cadence of a mystery The scent of smoke along the wild burning fields We fall into life’s changing wheel Despite my ignorance, my wilderness, lost innocence Becoming larger than the raging fire's bliss Reflecting back the diamond’s kiss Bridge (Ram-da-da-da-dadum) To forgive again Let a stone heart thaw Where it feels again The pain of heart’s love raw Ch2 Where are you now Love? Are you tied up inside or out? Is that memory’s hammer crashing down? Feel that diamond shattering over Love

In the dust of this Planet by David Husted Verse 1 Loose fit, cold breeze Still, a sweater not necessary Clouds drifting high, high above Feel a love cradling very close An ache, a stretch, a stretch too far Life improbable, what you are Music too, I hear a melody Meadowlarks, the distant owl singing Who………………………………………… Let’s walk off that early morning chill Here all is super ordinary Gray Geese ribbon the auburn sky Wild, this feels about right Where the Angels roar with all their might Soak you down to the bone Turning you upside down Here all is super ordinary Gray Geese ribbon the auburn sky Chorus IN THE DUST OF THIS PLANET IS IT JUST OR JUST RANDOM LOST TO GHOSTS AND TO ZOMBIES HEART TO CHANGE IF WE FIND IT (IS IN…) Verse 3 (You………………………………..) Hear the river resting near No longer pressing to get somewhere Find a thorny path hid well I’ll climb to that higher ground Fall out into the open air Something beautiful something rare As sweat trickles down my spine I watch them arcing through miles and miles Who………………………………………… Let’s walk off that early morning chill Here all is super ordinary Gray Geese ribbon the auburn sky INSTRUMENTAL Here all is super ordinary Gray Geese ribbon the auburn sky Chorus IN THE DUST OF THIS PLANET IS IT JUST OR JUST RANDOM LOST TO GHOSTS AND TO ZOMBIES HEART TO CHANGE IF WE FIND IT (in…verse: You…….)
