Monsters of the Wind 04:37

Monsters of the Wind by Travis Atkinson © 2021 You best be gone and on your way Said all goodbyes you need to say The last few suitcases strapped down You are fit to leave this town Pass you in the right lane of Lakeshore Drive Passively-aggressively avert their eyes When you miss your exit it's the first of many times Monsters of the wind Alone is a long forgotten friend Monsters of the wind The choices decided in the end Is where your heart begins The nets and flowers brought inside You make 'em laugh so you don't cry The path you choose becomes your name Another bleeding heart in vain First, they take your money and your radio Tickets and the traffic take their daily tolls Coming for your sanity but you won't let it go Monsters of the wind Alone is a long forgotten friend Monsters of the wind The choices decided in the end Is where your heart begins City of strangers and dreamers With nothing to lose You look up and the past and the future Is staring back at you Monsters of the wind Alone is a long forgotten friend Monsters of the wind The choices decided in the end Is where your heart begins

Sunday Vibes by Travis Atkinson © 2020 25 mugs down to 2 China white, Colorado blue We got a list of things to do But that’s ok Pour yours up to the brim Take it down, refill again I take half & half, not skim And now we play Sunday vibes, Oh baby Dishes, laundry, bills Clean up from all the thrills You smile and I get chills At possibilities Get the essentials out the way We can nap or we can play Feel the rhythm and seize the day With opportunity (Sunday vibes) Where we find the greatest hits of love Sanctuary from above Hearts and hands fit like a glove (Sunday vibes) Let inhibitions leave your mind While we reimagine time As a gift of the divine Pay no attention to Neighbors and what they do Keep up on me and you The Joneses run but have no clue Keep it simple, keep it light Keep it loose and never tight Ride this wave into the night and on & on & on (Sunday vibes) Where we find the greatest hits of love Sanctuary from above Hearts and hands fit like a glove (Sunday vibes) Let inhibitions leave your mind While we reimagine time As a gift of the divine I can see you start to fade Thinking bout tomorrow Don’t give into obligation Anxiety or sorrow Be here now, we will make it (Sunday vibes) Where we find the greatest hits of love Sanctuary from above Hearts and hands fit like a glove (Sunday vibes) Let inhibitions leave your mind While we reimagine time As a gift of the divine

Two Gardens 04:38
lyrics

Two Gardens by Travis Atkinson (c) 2020 I am growing two Gardens One for the darkness and another for the soul Far away from autumn harvest Planting seeds, not knowing how they’ll grow Shade for one and sunlight for another The days go fast, but the hours slow No surprises will rise to the surface, this I know You reap what you sow But still I watch them grow I am growing two gardens Passion and poison infesting the same land Summer rain falls warm and heartless Soon the fruits will be gathered by these hands Underground nature follows the orders Written down so long ago I will never claim to understand the subtleties below Or the players in this show But still I watch them grow I am growing two gardens Roots and leaves make the most of fertile ground Smell the season, see the harvest Best intentions have been scattered all around On my knees I am finding the pieces Of this weary broken soul I must choose which garden can stay and which must go But the answer I don’t know And still I watch them grow

Trippin' 05:42

Trippin' by Travis Atkinson © 2021 Trippin' around the chairs I fell into you Hidden behind the stairs where nobody shares I found you, too Were you running from demons? Chasing the seasons And what they promised you? Filling a bucket with cares You ought not to do Well it's high time Our souls get to mingling It's a clear sign Our bodies are tingling With a newfound sensation That ushers in singing It's a move we've been waiting for Sitting, trippin' Lying behind those eyes An indigo sea Suitors and scholars with collars, they try & try To unlock mystique But your journey to simple kings And promises they bring Finds us singing Letting as season of sighs Make way for dreams ​Well it's high time Our souls get to mingling It's a clear sign Our bodies are tingling With a newfound sensation That ushers in singing It's a move we've been waiting for Sitting, trippin'

Spend a Day by Travis Atkinson © 2019 Musical Piston Publishing And there you were Like a beautiful ship sailing through the night And there I was Surprised but trying not to show you my delight You've got something I've been searching A lifetime for There is nothing I've seen quite like you before All I need Is a Saturday in June Come with me Cause we got a lot to do I wanna spend a day loving you See the sunrise move to Western skies to make way for the moon I wanna know the things that make you move There's nothing I'd rather do than spend a day with you Can I see The wonderful world according to your eyes Walkin' down the beach Smiles and shades, our only disguise Tell me stories, I will never doubt you As I slowly forget life without you, without you Take my hands They were made for holding yours Understand You're the one that I adore I wanna spend a day loving you See the sunrise move to Western skies to make way for the moon I wanna know the things that make you move There's nothing I'd rather do than spend a day with you Strolling down the shore Footprints in sets of four Happily singing songs we've never sang before Baby, believe it's true If I spend a day with you You'll find it funny how easily one day turns into two All I need Is a Saturday in June Come with me Cause we got a lot to do I wanna spend a day loving you See the sunrise move to Western skies to make way for the moon I wanna know the things that make you move There's nothing I'd rather do than spend a day with you I wanna spend a day loving you See the sunrise move to Western skies to make way for the moon I wanna know the things that make you move There's nothing I'd rather do than spend a day with you

Come On by Travis Atkinson © 2021 Light tends to flicker in moments When wind tries to show that it's strong I don't claim true clarivoyance But your eyes tell me what's wrong People taking shots at you to Pull you into their pain Generations try their damndest But we all end up the same So come on, come on Try to set your feet on the stone Come on, come on You ain't in this alone Come on, come on I watched you crawl to the sofa And learn how to open the doors Taught you to clap to the rhythm And dance your feet all over the floor But any sign of life has Left your body here to decay More than your sisters you need this mister To help you sing another way So come on, come on Try to set your feet on the stone Come on, come on You ain't in this alone Don't let, don't let 'em get to ya Don't let 'em knock you down Don't let, don't let 'em get to ya Rise up and make a sound Don't let, don't let 'em get to ya Call me on the phone Don't let, don't let 'em get to ya The more the push, the more you come on So come on, come on Try to set your feet on the stone Come on, come on You ain't in this alone

I Think She’s Gone by Travis Atkinson (c)2006 Travis Atkinson I think she’s gone I think she’s gone this time Yeah I let her walk away But she stayed in my mind I think she’s really gone Out like a rolling stone I live outside my body I’m just a stranger in my home Walk to the playground Play in the backyard by the swings Swing my mind back to a place where pain Ain’t such a real thing I dream that she comes in late And leaves before the dawn Memories of her make the nights so long Every day’s the same Just waste the hours away Millions of words, nothing to say Silences scream her name And point their fingers of blame I choose my own adventure But the ending stays the same Caught in the undertow Ain’t got no where to go I’m blind and trying to find rewind But I know it isn’t so Roll through the stop signs Stop when the lights tell me to go Go on living life, this crazy dream Inside my soul My mind’s at the edge of the bridge And it’s threatening to end it all But I know that my heart already took the fall The questions they paralyze me How did I do wrong? The answer's the same, it's that she's gone Yeah, she’s really gone Oh Lord, she’s really gone Yea she’s gone
