Long Shadows 03:50
lyrics

LONG SHADOWS Sun is settin’ low on the ocean The second hand slows and we better be concerned About the clock of the future Better give that key another turn Long shadows on the sands of time No future if we don’t find A way to change things and get back the gift God has given Long shadows on the sands of time Floods are givin’ more than we’re needin’ The Golden state burns and we look the other way To see our face in the mirror Sun is settin’ now for us today Long shadows on the sands of time No future if we don’t find A way to change things and get back the gift God has given Long shadows on the sands of time This world is the only one we’ve got Moves we’ve made are getting’ hot Let’s do the things we’re not To let her live Long shadows on the sands of time No future if we don’t find A way to change things and get back the gift God has given Long shadows on the sands of time

Another Line of Cocaine 04:29
lyrics

ANOTHER LINE OF COCAINE there's a fine dust on the table and a screwed up ten on the floor the white lady that I'm taking out comes with the bottle of gin I pour talking to myself in the mirror is that the me that I threw away I'm as wasted as the lady next door I feel a freight trains in my veins she's the most expensive habit but she melts the troubles away when I wanna fly high in a turquoise sky I cut another line of cocaine the hallucinations hit in waves and I'm drowning in a sea of snow I might not make it back to the surface but what a hell of a way to go all the front line girls are kicking and shaking their white feathered tails biting their gloves from their fingers and I'm as hard as a nine inch nail she's the most expensive habit but she melts all my troubles away when I wanna fly high in a turquoise sky I cut another line of cocaine there's a fine dust on the table and a screwed up ten on the floor the white lady that I'm taking out she's keeps demanding more and more

Silent Spring 05:03

Silent Spring these words un said, there are no birds no green the water is gone from years of drought the river's run dry not a cloud in the sky something was sprayed a chemical they say it was in the air refuse from two hundred factory farms at the gulf of mexico runoff from the poisoned crops an ocean of floating plastic and trash vast highways lead from city to city the water tastes like oil the air smells like food the ground is cracked and dry i'm tasting metal and sand theres trash everywhere you can see blowin in the dead wind plastic bags in the trees trucks rumbling in the distance a dried swamp with rusty cars submerged in the dim light of the midday sun i hear a shot from a gun the DNA is mixtup of self poisoned herbacide loving dead plant useless cash crop nutrition starved empty shelf corporate fed seeds without sin it jumped the fence went down the road changed everything it met silent spring dead trees nothing moves but the wind that howls empty in my soul the road that led to nowhere so we are here amoungst the dust together with no future to our name it is so empty this ruined land the damaged soul the empty promise night and day same hell came through peoples arms and eyes to make this mess the silent spring © 2015 Mark Vee, all reasonable rights reserved

No more lies 02:32
lyrics
buy track
No more lies No more lies! Tell me only the truth Your words and actions aren't wise Because of you I'm having my blues Your fibs are only hurting me I'm not dumb, I sense what you are trying to hide Your false affections, pretending that you'll agree With me just wouldn't do, we are no longer side by side No more lies! Tell me only the truth Your words and actions aren't wise Because of you I'm experiencing my blues What you fail to understand Is that it's much better to know then to cling to an unrealistic hope Perhaps it's cool for you as you have everything planned But not the way I would cope Today is the day I want to hear it from You If my suspicions are correct I'll go separate way And you'll get your freedom too No more lies! Tell me only the truth Your words and actions aren't wise Because of you I'm singing my blues

Stand in the light We don't have to live in fear No one can con trol How we feel Or what we do Stand in the light Stand in the light Stand in the light Live for what is right No one is in control Only we will do what we do No thought control We will decide our fate No one owns you You owe no one your dues Break all their rules If there's one thing you should do

Living Machines (there are) living machines in my head they put them there when i was asleep always talking sometimes selling things these maschines wont go away they keep talking to me i try to fall asleep they talk in my ear about nostalgia i try to stay awake they pull me down the hill im running away from them theyre waIting at the door when i come home to rest theyre there on the stairs i hear trucks backing up typewriters and rotary phones ringing BBC five on the shortwave line the knife and scissor sharpner guy an acapella group doin soul on a transistor radio glass packs on a GTO on my way to school theres a double star in the sky one follows the other a gravitational ellipse at night they pulse signals

The Wolf Got It All 03:39
lyrics

The Wolf Got It All I took out my suitcase and got ready to pack Where I was going (I knew) I had to go fast Cause that old world is changing lickety split Or how on earth could you endup with a city like this A city like this in a world of cold Ain’t doing nothing , but holding its own Look around the pig built it of stone But that old wolf must have a money roll Cause the wolf got it all… the wolf got it all I used to play guitar, but I pawned it today Need to buy tickets for us to get on that plane They talk and talk but ain’t no plan for fixing it All they plan is how to own us and a city like this Chorus We’d stay and fight, but we might win…and begin.. To be what we were fighting…plane’s leaving at morning light Wrap up warm… A city like this in a world of cold Ain’t doing nothing , but holding its own Look around the pig built it of stone But that old wolf must have a money roll Cause that wolf got it all… that wolf got it all All rights reasonably: Copyright © 2015 Mark Vee and David L.

The Winter Of My Love 03:24
lyrics

The Winter Of My Love It's the winter of my love And the clouds are rolling in The rain is falling down And I've lost my only friend It's the winter of my love And my pulse is getting weak My mouth is very dry My voice can hardly speak It's the winter of my love And My sight is growing dim Will I wake tomorrow Chances are both none and slim It's the winter of my love And the darkness comes too soon When the sun goes down I am greeted by the moon

Breakdown 04:36
lyrics
buy track
I hear your name in the wind I talk in subtitles - subtitled speech You move in wire frames - wireframe movement Breaking the silence A pin drop of air Balance on right and left Connected thought Emotional streams of light and dark Weeds in the broken sidewalk I'm messed up on colors And names of common objects Days of the weak Counting backwards by seven Hell is a fire in the woods of time Mixed with random sentence structures and combinatorial probabilities of events occurring in the next sentence Peace is dreamless sleep with unknown people Teaming masses on a hot summer street Filing through doors to the other sides Where thought converges with emotion In a moment of trust

Mark Vee Chicago, Illinois

My dad repaired Black and white televisions and occasionally had amplifiers that had 6L6 power tubes. These turned into my first gigging amp. It was embarassing to have a junky open amp out there with a twelve inch TV speaker in a mahogany cabinet when the rich kids had Fender amps with Gibson guitars... ... more
