Touch Sand

I draw a map in my head, and pick a route...
I draw a fork in the road, and make a choice...
I draw the things that I want to se, and look at them as I walk by...
Feeling the road with my toes...
Taking time to explore, time to feel free...
Putting wasted time to good use...
Take a chance, put the world to the test, take a trust fall when it's right...
Feeling the road with my toes...
And I see with my weary eyes
And I saw a blurry paradise
And I sing as I pass it by
'cause I just wanna touch sand... touch sand... touch sand...
I just wanna touch sand... touch sand... touch sand...
Dark falls in my mind, as I drift on...
Dark times on the left and the right...
But the path right ahead is clear, I'm gonna walk and I won't cry...
Feeling the road with my toes...
And I see with my weary eyes
And I saw a blurry paradise
And I sing as I pass it by
'cause I just wanna touch sand... touch sand... touch sand...
I just wanna touch sand... touch sand... touch sand...
At the end of the line, I lift my pen...
Having a conclusion drawn...
A sudden shift as I open my eyes, and the ink from the well is dry...
Feeling the floor with my toes...

Shelf Life
04:22
|
|||
|
Here I am for all to see
I'm sitting on my own, out of trouble
I would love some company
Even though I'll stay alone, in my bubble
I can't see you well at all
distorted imagery is all that comes through
If I fear to take a fall
I will never leave my shelf, and I need to
Turn my world upside down, to bring about the snow
Watch it fall back to the ground, there's nowhere else to go
This is the beginning
I feel the tiny start
Of cracks in the ceiling
As my world falls apart
And I am depending
On everybody else
To help with extending
That first foot off the shelf... to end the shelf life
I don't know what tomorrow brings
So it's hard to find a way to make it better
Beneath this pile of truthful things
Lies another lonely day, but we're all in this together
Turn my world upside down, to bring about the snow
For a moment, there's the ground, supporting me to know
This is the beginning
I feel the tiny start
Of cracks in the ceiling
As my world falls apart
And I am depending
On everybody else
To help with extending
That first foot off the shelf... to end the shelf life

What Are Fears
03:22
|
|||
|
The saddest eyes in the world belong to me tonight
I left my home and gave my bed away, and now I long for one
But on I drive, on the earth, I'm aimlessly alive
I hear your call for comfort, but philosophy is pain for you
Do you
Know
Anything about what we are doing here?
It's so unclear to me
When
I
Really hear the words, all meaning disappears
What are fears?
The saddest eyes shine for her, but I'm afraid tonight
Time is not your friend, it's not your foe, and it doesn't care
When I died, no one heard, I hid the shame inside
A soul was chiseled into me a birth, and I can't explain
Do you
Know
Anything about what we are doing here?
It's so unclear to me
When
I
Really hear the words, all meaning disappears
What are fears aside from will to live?
Here we are, scattered like puzzle pieces
Burning like scars on the table of the night
We are fractured like puzzle pieces
Burning like scars on the table of the night sky
How can I be the first? That's the question I...
Scream into avoidance as I lean into the lonely ride
I don't mind your reckless mirth, it like the wind that cries
As we grow accustomed to the bodies that we didn't choose
Do you
Know
Anything about what we are doing here?
It's so unclear to me
When
I
Really hear the words, all meaning disappears
What are fears?

Ready Or Not
03:27

You find me
Fingers in "quote un-quote" I said a little too much now and don't I know it
Knee deep
But I'm walking away, if I talk I'll regret it
So I go
No other life for me, I got a skill-set set you'll seldom see
And It's slow
But every day I get a bit better
So give it all right now
Give it all, give it all right now
Give it all give it all right now
Give it all, give it all right now... Give in
Fit in
It's not a thing I do, I'd rather ruminate more, if it's the same to you
It's win-win
And when the price is "free" maybe don't eat the Cheddar
Think fast
It's only good for some, and if that ain't you, you don't have to front
Out last
You can, the Tortoise, be
Maybe I should give it another go, another minute
But I already dove into the flow and now I'm in it
People seem to find a line and toe it, but that isn't how I wanna be
I'm looking for a way to get where
I can' say what I got to say and never split hair
If all I do is play, and never prepare
Then ready or not, ready or not, Go!
You find me
Alive in the undertow, with the other cool-cats who know they chose
To be free
and set sail for change, no matter the weather
And we know
That we're about the sea, and don't mind gettin' wet if the boat's rocky
We just flow
Trusting the youthful.. they are just getting better
So give it all right now
Give it all, give it all right now
Give it all give it all right now
Give it all, give it all right now... Given

The Fog
03:15
|

|
So many things in life that I want to know
But one of them grows strong since you let me go
It's gonna take a lot of will power, it's gonna take a lot of will power
I know we're never gonna be that close again
I'm so grateful I can still call you a friend
I wish I only knew, even though it hurts to face the truth
Are you happy now
Are you happy
Now are you happy
Are you happy
I hope you are, I do... I do
Are you happy now
Are you happy
Now are you happy
Are you happy
Somehow I know it's true...
And in the calm of the eye before the storm
I feel a swell and the tears appear
Wave after wave break on my shore
And then they're gone and the fears are clears
I was lost and you helped me find a way
Through the fog in the city by the bay
It's gonna take a lot of will power, It's gonna take a lot of will power
In many ways we will always be alone
Nobody "makes you" feelings are your own
I wish I only knew, even though it hurt to face the truth
Am I happy now
Am I happy
Now am I happy
Am I happy
I hope I am, I do... I do
Am I happy now
Am I happy
Now am I happy
Am I happy
Somehow I know it's true... it's true
So many things in life that I truly know
I see the ways I'm strong as I let you go
It's gonna take a lot of will power, It's gonna take a lot of will power

Will It Ever Be The Same
03:04
|
|||
|
Hold on now... what am I doing
I wonder what I am singing for, and I wonder
Will it ever be the same again
Will I fall to the ground, helpless and screaming
Do we know... water keeps flowing
Under billions of burning bridges, and I wonder
Will it ever be the same again
Will I fall to the ground, helpless and screaming
I want you to stay with me
I want you to stay with me
Please don't go away
Who am I... to say I suffer
I blame you, this is all you fault, and I wonder
Will it ever be the same again
Will I fall to the ground, helpless and screaming

Know Love
03:27
|

|
A long time ago I opened
My eyes
Come down
To a world of mere mortals and the party on the ground
I felt gravity happily laughing and grabbing me in, to a warm embrace
And I know love, I know love
I'm drawn towards a mother
She calls
Come down
So I take a place beside her, feel the energy surround
Hers is a lonely road and I'm honored to get a taste
And I know love, I know love
I know love, as I know myself better and better
Better and better it grows to be the only thing I know
I know love will always have a place in me
Although the words we use may change.. change.. change..
One crossroad behind me
The tears
Come down
Take in the inner silence, and the memories resound
Open my wings wide, there are demons I've yet to face
And I know love, I know love
I know love, as I know myself better and better
Better and better it grows to be the only thing I know
I know love will always have a place in me
Although the words we use may change.. change.. change..
A long time ago I opened
My eyes
Come down
To a world of mere mortals and the party on the ground
I felt gravity happily laughing and grabbing us in, to a warm embrace
And I know love, I know love

Jesse Garcia Oakland, California
My name is Jesse Garcia. I’m a student and teacher of music, striving to forge connections through vibration. I am fortunate to have studied, taught, and performed both classical and African music from a young age, on multiple instruments. Through songwriting I discover new conversations to be had in myself, and I hope to inspire others to open dialogue within themselves as well. ... more
