This is from one of the first sessions with Scott.
Originally from the Chiavelli Crawford Album, "Now is Gone".
lyrics
People walkin round like it’s all ok
They don’t wanna know what’s on the way
Resting in the arms of illusion
Singin holdin hands with confusion
The unity - of denial
When fantasies and clouds are all gone
Get down on your knees and draw some
The strength we need – is not our own
CHORUS
Roll it up make it all go away
I don’t wanna see this on your face
Focus on all that’s good and true
But I see things
I see things
I see things
I don’t wanna know
Swimming in the pot with the poison
Feelin pretty good but it’s all wrong
Everything - you think you know
It’s covered from the top to the bottom
Anticipatin’ thoughts if you got em’
The enemy – is on the prowl
CHORUS
Jesus help us through this nightmare
Hard to tell the wheat from the tares
Reel us in – set us straight
Your Kingdom come on earth be done
Your will as in Heaven
But for now – we eat our fruit
CHORUS
People walkin round
People walkin round
People walkin round like it’s all ok
