Overthinking
(Music and Lyrics by 5 To A Hill Copyright 2018)
Lonely-ness is hungry-ness is ugly-ness is flattery
The lesson’s already learned
A foreign message is heard
No fairy-dust here to calm me
A wandering tale-of-tales
It took the wind from my sails
A trail of dust is upon me
I’ve been drinkin’ and I’m stinkin’ and I’m ready to fold
I’ve been holdin’ the key to a treasure of coal
No mistakin’ I’ve been fakin’ and I’m dreading the throne
Reciprocity seething in a desolate groaning
Yes it’s groaning, Yes it’s moaning, Yes it’s droning
A sad attempt at repose
I bottomed-up and I froze
My weakest links always haunt me
And when the surface caves in
You’ll never see me again
A bed of rust will engulf me
I’ve been drinkin’ and I’m stinkin’ and I’m ready to blow
I’ve been holdin’ a key to a treasure of coal
No mistakin’ I’ve been fakin’ that I’m ready to grow
This velocity seems to be incredibly slow (over it..so over it)
I’m over it, so over it…over it..I’m overthinking again…..

Spectator Sport
(Music and Lyrics by 5 To A Hill Copyright 2018)
9 out of 10, that you bump and run
1 out of 10, that you followed those steps and won
Why waste it all on a simple whim?
Why trade it all, just to roll the dice again?
I know, I’ve seen, some beg on their hands and knees
I know, I’ve seen, tough-love’s born from agony
1 out of 10 says the fool
9 out of 10, that you love this push and pull
Habitual happenstance
Residual song and dance has left me numb
Open up those eyes, you can mend
Just enough the make the thick thin
Brush off the low-lifes and the scum
The one’s that fed off your loneliness and pain
Accept the odds, for what they are
If there’s a god, they just spectate and play dumb
(stop reading this..it’s over already..go home now..now I said git!!!)

Mr. Sky
(Music and Lyrics by 5 To A Hill, Copyright 2018)
Make a change, they say…And this will all go away
It’s just a game- I play, I hope my aim is straight- ok
I don’t know if I can ever be somebody better
I don’t know if I can be right
I plant the seeds, but you can never count on the weather
So, Mr. Sky shine upon me bright tonight
It seems so strange- that I’d stray, Those days were such a big waste
It’s just a shame, that we gave..ourselves to fate – that day
There you go, free from all of your rainy days
Friends will come, Friends will go, when your life’s a maze
I made the change, they say…And now they’ll all go away
It’s just that game- that I play, I know my aim was straight- ok

Downfall
(Music and Lyrics by 5 To A Hill Copyright 2018)
Go far way…Re-charge the filter
Don’t be afraid..you are your master
Oh don’t feel no pain
Oh don’t feel no lows
Not so hard to reign
in these shadows
Take it all in, new life without sin
Once and for all, above the downfall
Oh don’t feel no pain
Oh don’t feel no lows
Not so hard to reign
in these shadows
No more token faith..deep below yeah, deep below yeah
Roll with the pace, keep it going, keep it going

Red
(Music and Lyrics by 5 To A Hill Copyright 2018)
Sea of Red will reveal my cover....
No more waiting..no more waiting for you..slow and fadin'..sea of red has concealed my color.
No more waiting...no more waiting for you..no abating the truth, sea of red will reveal my cover.
Follow me down the river..follow me down the river unknown..arteries of the rhythm..to the mouth of whatever unfolds. No more waiting..No more waiting for you..Follow me down the river..to the mouth of whatever unfolds.
No more waiting...no more waiting for you..no evading the truth, sea of red will reveal my cover.
Follow me down the river..follow me down the river unknown..arteries of the rhythm..to the mouth of whatever unfolds. No more waiting..No more waiting for you.. Follow me down the river..follow me down the river unknown.
Sea of Red will reveal my cover....
Hold on to your seat, goin' deep under-cover, deep under water

Rabbit Hole
(Music and Lyrics by 5 To A Hill Copyright 2018)
Hiding weakness- mince the words that paralyze
Try and keep it set apart from what transpires
Shoot from the hip-Take note of this
There’s no place for shelter-It don’t exist
Blindly we live-ignorant of bliss disguised
How do we give innocence
A wave good-bye?
Somehow it really doesn’t matter- Dumb-founded by this little world
Go down another rabbit hole- Without a remnant of a soul
How do we live, ignorant of all these lies?
Blindly, we give – Trust to those that lit the fire.

Reality Show
(Music and Lyrics by 5 To A Hill Copyright 2018)
Why make things up, just to get’m roused
Mad-ego bump, gotta settle down
Can’t keep this up at a weak old age
Jet-setting pawn from the underground
Flame-throwing speech of a simple clown
Let’s one-and-done and erase this page
Head down, Don’t stray
You broke, you bought and it felt so good
Chose not to check underneath the hood
Fell for the deal and the art was mud
Just wait and see, it can come around
This dead-end cruise has to run-aground
Banished from all ‘cept an early grave
Feels like I’m on a hung jury….
Head down, Don’t stray
Head down, Don’t stray
Reality has it out for..Reality has it out for..Reality has it out for
Reality is on…..us

As-Is
(Music and Lyrics by 5 To A Hill, Copyright 2021)
One day, you may just buy
Into this a smokescreen
Sustain the will to try
Make clear the unseen
Come what may...
Unhinged- a fall from grace
Thick skin-You’re under
Make waves of frozen space
Never tell another
Of your pain
This is my conscience, this is my failure
There’s no rhyme or reason, It’s everything goes
I’m selling my conscience, selling my failures
There’s no time for refunds, It’s everything goes.
This is my conscience, this is my failure
There’s no rhyme or reason, It’s everything goes
I’m selling my conscience, selling my failures
There’s no time for refunds, It’s everything goes.
