Truth is found in the Love we came from All things rise and return to the ground Where weeping souls sing for redemption Are you awake Or are you just sleeping Swing low sweet chariot Coming for to take us all home Heaven send your messenger Heaven open your arms Swing low At night we are turning in our bed And turning in our graves Lying silently awake Feeling the faintness of this existence I am lost in a forest of shadows on my ceiling As light creeps through the blinds I call out But no one answers me Only my echoes return "I can feel my own mortality" We love like ghosts Scared to let go Scared to open our eyes Listen The earth is calling out The ground is singing Listen for it singing you to sleep
3.
I pray for you but God ain't smiling at me Says there's something in my words Something in my sentences Son you can't ask me for that You can't ask me for fiery car wrecks So I says to him I've grown up right Heard the truth from three different mouths How can all of this be wrong He says, Son can you hear me when you're so loud Listen for me in everything And not the steps your heart my stir The winds will call and the winds will cry But they will change every time Here I am and here I'll be waiting for you to see My sentences end in Love
4.
We live like shadows creeping down halls Ghosts scared to haunt empty homes When this world passes on who will be there in the dawn of tomorrow to remember me when I've passed back to dust Dreamers sleep with their eyes closed Tomorrow may never come for them Love is knocking at the door But we says, "Go away." "You've already cursed me before" But have we found what love is Have we lived outside these hands that are desperately grasping for the ledge Where below the grave rings for us To collect what's already due To satisfy his unsatisfied hunger for the ages Dreamers sleep with their eyes closed Tomorrow may never come for them
5.
Love you live with silent lips At such a curious distance from us Are you waiting for the noise to settle in our hearts The angels are singing amongst the stars, "Oh what a joyous life of ours!" You wake me from my sleep with only silence for me But like the wind I can feel you moving The face of God looks on Says, "Son where have you gone? The birds sing and do no sew but I've fed them anyhow. Those oceans and deserts may separate us, I've not forgotten about you."

about

This was the 1st or 2nd occurrence of the Wurlitzer Life in public. We were only ever a revolving cast of friends, learning to play a few songs a few hours before a show. Through sickness and unpreparedness, we played a small set in November 2008.

about

The Wurlitzer Life Pensacola, Florida

The Wurlitzer Life was the rejection of depression. It existed sometimes as 1 person of 5 people and sometimes a little more. It was happiness regardless of the circumstance. Soon to be revisited and finally recorded.

The Wurlitzer Life was a terrible classical guitar, park benches and late nights singing outside.
