Never Looking Back Once they had golden love It shone in all its glory And it rose up from between It climbed up tall for all to see Then life's storms turned waters wild Shook their lost stability Where there was kindness They grew mean and cold The waters rose and drowned the gold Everything that was white turned to black Everything that was joy shifted into sad I am looking forward never looking back Never turning back Never going back The troubles froze intro the ice And spread across the ocean And the gold sank beneath the sea And no one had the strength to find it Don’t you be sad for me It’s just a chapter in my story And warm rain falls on humble backs And time will melt the ice in cracks Everything that was white turned to black Everything that was joy shifted into sad I am looking forward never looking back Never turning back Never going back Everything that was white turned to black Everything that was joy shifted into sad I am looking forward never looking back Never turning back Never going back Never looking back Never turning back Never going back Never turning back Never looking back Never going back

Open Highway 03:57
Open Highway Anywhere else but here Take me to that long open highway I wish I could be everywhere But I’m just a particle in this vast cosmic ocean Missing love terribly I fear But is it worth the pain For what they say is gained We just scattered around grasping for connection Scattered around grasping for survival Traveling in my mind Sailing to a tropical desert island I think I see you in my dreams You’re just a particle in this open cosmic vibration It’s such a struggle to be here and though the moments pass They are but all we have We just scattered around grasping for connection Scattered around grasping for survival Shifting the paradigm Beyond the physical and the time and space continuum If you’re a drop in the ocean Does it affect the rest Does it all come down to intention Life is a force and we’re the slaves But if we learn to play if we can find our way We just scattered around grasping for connection Scattered around F grasping for survival Anywhere else but here Take me to that long open highway

Seagull 04:11 video
SEAGULL Nothing’s too far away Nothings too far away Except the Happiness Unhappiness that makes you small and you fight Forever fight against a wall Well I’m up in the sky Up around the sky I do not cry out in vain Out insane People are everywhere And everything is power Seagull Why I'm a seagull Like a deer in a snare Like a deer in a state of confined fear Paranoid Of the joy brokers hold When you’re caught In a spot of decay I’ve been to the beach I’ve been to the beach but that don’t preach Peace to me, save the sea Feelings went just like that And I could kiss it away Seagull Why I’m a seagull Seagull Why im a seagull Got a suit in a case Got a suit and a case of losing taste Being around, this town Is a bug it will not die But will never fly either See my heart on a plate See my job o a plate of fine debate From the Pines Fine Tree Lines But I don’t care What’s to lose? But the noose that was killing me

Love Yourself When the rain falls You know I need you Something’s wrong deep inside Feel the fear Feel the shame Tryin not to turn away When you're shot down But you know you’re worthy Your path might take another course It seems strange and unknown Don’t turn away You gotta love yourself Gotta get off the shelf No matter who are you are You gotta love yourself You gotta hold yourself tight And have your own back Stand up and use your voice ahhh Love yourself Stuck down By a broken system You’re standing in your soaking shoes People pass , there ain't no rescue? You feel the water rising, feel the water rising Know what you gotta do though you're feet might slip Your spine will carry you through To your own self be true No one knows you like you do You gotta break through You gotta love yourself You gotta get off the shelf No matter went goes wrong You gotta love yourself You gotta have your own back hold your own hand Stand up and use your voice ooooo You gotta love yourself You gotta get off the shelf No matter went goes wrong You gotta love yourself You gotta have your own back hold your own hand Stand up and use your voice ooooo You gotta love yourself Love yourself

Changes in the Air Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Systems down. Earth is shiftin’ Fever sparks a chain reaction All the world's souls scattered in the wind Gonna take a while before they root again Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air So we march in a new direction Though the future is uncertain We hold the seeds of change in our open hands Time to let the wind tell us where the seeds will land Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Falling back to face the future Coming home to Mother Nature Cities crumble fear is wearing us down It’s in the air we breathe. Are we lost or are we found? Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Changes in the air change is in the air Can you feel the change in the air Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come Change is gonna come, change is gonna come

Drive All Night You’re out in the country Working on a farm It’s been a long time Since I lay in your arms You’re not shiny But you are real If you only knew how you make me feel I will drive all night Just to be with you If ya meet me at the doorstep Doesn’t matter if you’ve fallen yet I must me crazy, but I’m ready To drive all night I tried to cut you loose So many times before But I can’t help myself Coming back for more Your hands are rough But your voice is smooth And when we get up to your bedroom You make me feel like no one else can do I will drive all night Just to be with you will you meet me by the doorstep Doesn’t matter if you’ve fallen yet I must me crazy, but i’m ready To drive all night I’ve let go of the F# pressure to make this go somewhere I’m just thankful F# for the moments that we share oh I will drive all night Just to be with you Will you meet me at the doorstep Doesn’t matter if you’ve fallen yet Will you hold me tight Under the pale moonlight And kiss me like you care for me and take me half the way there I must me crazy, but i’m ready To drive all night To drive all night To drive all night To drive all night

Windswept 04:01
WINDSWEPT I can feel you in the northern skies Flying higher I feel you Windswept trees the west wind blows Takes a life and on it goes Different shapes and landscapes grow Changes as life ebbs and flows I can feel you in the Northern skies Flying higher I feel you Water covers half the dock drowns the space around the rocks Watching sun and shadows sway End of summers darker days We are the lost and lonely We’re holding on We’re left behind It won't take, long To find your side Love’s forever jagged edge Holding on to words you said Always wonder how to tread Familiar foreign deepest final bed I can feel you in the Northern skies Flying higher I feel you x2 I feel you I feel you
8.
Skyline 01:49
Skyline Don’t look back at the heart attack Take my in your gentle way and ride the waves You’re the only person I can feel Walk with me on the shore and greet me at the door And take me to my bed When the stars align i’ll make you mine and we’ll get high again Like the wind in the leaves blowing the trees against the skyline Promise that you’re coming back I know that you love it and I love it too You’re the only one that makes me feel Drive with me in the dark and kiss me under stars And take me in your arms Nobodys a savoir but you are mine in this moment and that is fine Like the wind in the leaves blowing the trees against the skyline Nobodys a savoir but you are mine in this moment and that is fine Like the wind in the leaves blowing the trees again the skyline

Where the Light Shines In Now you're getting out You had to put me through this You couldn’t say what you felt You made me make the move Was that the best you could do? How can we live Ab live with the knowing You didn’t love me I didn’t love you I just being me You were just being mean Mean and Cruel I’m not going back If you don’t have my back Too bad you don’t C get it why I gotta let go All those years I gave to you They were never enough, never enuf Now I’m going to the place G where the light shine in I’m getting out I can’t go on Open the door Ya let the light pour on I'll find my wings I will find my wings I’ll get my wings I’m not going back If you don’t have my back Too bad you don’t get it why I gotta let go All those year i gave to you They were never enough Now I’m going to the place where the light shine in I’m leaving Im leaving And I’m going to the place where the light shines in I didn’t measure up Well find someone who Will take that from you You kicked me when I was down You said I made you treat me bad
10.
Fear 03:08
Fear When you're running for dear life And there's nowhere else to turn When a candle's left alone on fire Something just might burn It's called fear eating what's left inside When the current moves you quickly And steers you to the rocks When a mailman wears a mask And brings a ticking box It's called fear Leaving marks on the body Leaving one hash mark Every time you saw me There's a stranger in the lobby There were footsteps on the roof But there is no proof or reason not to hide And that's the gospel truth When fire comes like rain And all the fish float to the top of the sea, fear When animals start to talk When a red horse begins to scream, fear, fear, fear It pours blood into every dream Turning midnight into daydreams The water has turned to red Someone you know might be dead But that's not a nice thing to have said Be sure to look under your bed, fear It's hard being alone when you ain't got no home So maybe there's no bed at all, fear
11.
Wild Again 03:15
WILD AGAIN What do you do when the waters rise Do you dive in deep do you run and hide What do you do when the forest burns Have we reached the point of no return Take my hand It is all that we have left Run away from everything with you Will we be wild again After all that we’ve been through Will we be wild again Together me and you Will we be wild again All I need is you Wilder than the wind What do you do when it falls apart When the world won’t turn Will you break my heart? Who can you trust when your King is down And the city crumbles all around? Take my hand It is all that we have left Run away from everything with you Will we be wild again After all that we’ve been through Will we be wild again Together me and you Will we be wild again All I need is you Wilder than the wind
12.
Into Shelter 03:15
Into Shelter The snow falls quiet under the lamplight Nobody knows where you’ve been (you’ve been around) The radio receptions intermittent tonight The big news is the flood way across town Normally I’d drown Or it’s the other way around But this time it feels different Like we’re melting into shelter and there aren’t alarms The idea’s the same but it is different now Time has contours and deeper grooves The chemical reaction’s like a foreign finite brew A rich untold elixir from the moon Normally I’d swoon And write a hundred broken tunes But this time it feels different like We’re meeting at the centre of the room The snow falls quiet under the lamplight Nobody knows where you’ve been (you’ve been around)

about

Lily Frost Toronto, Ontario

Songs pour out as means of coping and as attempts to make sense of this messed up planet which is so full of beauty and disaster and shades between. I reach in toward the core to pull out the essence and distill and adorn with flourishes which support that seed which speaks through me. ... more
