 songs & lyrics The Color Of Life (Unreleased)  This is a song about the nature of time and the redemption in realizing that it is a non-linear construction of human perception, inspired by a variety of sources, including movies such as the Back to the Future, Koyaniskatsi, and Matrix trilogies, and other films where time was presented as fluid such as 12 Monkeys and The Butterfly Effect. Final version of lyrics: Saturday, June 17th, 2006 The Color Of Life (Unreleased) Tasting heaven and hell in the pause of the turning page Good things come to those who wait, they say When time folds inward to kneel before the wind We will learn to fly where we crawled beneath the horizon Lilies to lay to rest the parts of us that diedThe clouds sigh, the scroll's seal breaks, and red waves part Ancestral echo adds another beat to your already pounding heart Past, present, and future reduced to nouns to guide our clay feet As we walk between raindrops, touching the world like butterflies Lilies to lay to rest the parts of us that diedThe looking glass cracks and we all fall inside No one gets to stay the same and no one gets to hide But as we rise the surf and skies will wash us clean And neither of us ever has to leave Lilies to lay to rest the parts of us that died Harlem, New York City, 6-11 May and 17 June 2006. First performed on August 31st, 2008 at the Block Party in Lowertown, St. Paul, during the R.N.C. Convention.
