The Sun Is Always Brighter

Joshua James The Sun Is Always Brighter Lyrics
1.The New Love Song

So you say you want a love song
One to move your feet onto
I'll sing a real life tune
So you say you want a love song,
One to play your girlfriend with
I hope my little number will do.

Oh ohohoh oh oh ohm..mmm.mmmm

Lets stop our busy lives awhile
And think of the many many people
Across the many miles of earth
That have no clothes, no food to eat.

And what about the air we breathe,
to the food we eat,
Are filled with things that kill,
Our deaths are closer than we think.

Well another silly love song could make me sick
About a heart broke emo rocker and his messed up chick
Are we so deaf dumb and blind we can't see the candlestick
Burnin down

Wakes up on her Monday morn
Its just another cup of coffee
In her run down place called home
She makes her way out to the car

The radio blares to drown
All the many many faces in her head
That at one time cared
But they have all moved away and gone.

Now to work she goes
Removing all her clothes
For all the perverse older men in our sickly generation
But they don't give a damn

Well another silly love song could make me sick
About a heart broke emo rocker and his messed up chick
Are we so deaf dumb and blind we can't see the candlestick
Burnin down

Open your souls, open your minds
Theres a lot of wonderful people in the world outside

Open your souls, open your minds
Theres a lot of wonderful people in the world outside

Open your souls, open your minds
Theres a lot of wonderful people in the world outside

Open your souls, open your minds

Well another silly love song could make me sick
About a heart broke emo rocker and his messed up chick
Are we so deaf dumb and blind we can't see the candlestick
Burnin down

Oohh oohhh oh oh oh oh .


2.Soul The Sea

I dream of dusty roads,
paved with gold that lead me in your eyes.
The marmeladed paintings sing a song that not the crows will
try.
The Piano screams a sound inside your lips I have found,
Something I could never save.
The current pulls me down,
into your river deeper now, than I had
Ever planned to sink, planned to sink

Scattered winds blow me cross the ocean,
Turns and spins, leaves me breathless, but with
No sense of my direction, or
Where the main land sits, where I find my soul.

The battles fought and fight inside these walls,
the blood still stains my dress.
Through we spoke, my broken bones,
the chandelier means more you said.
The thunder screamed a light
into the thick black painted night, but not
A muscle did you move for me.
The rapids growing taller than I ever do recall,
Dragging my soul to sea, my soul to sea

And I said
Lord what have I done? And I said Lord what have I done?

Scattered winds blow me cross the ocean,
Turns and spins, leaves me breathless, but with
No sense of my direction, or
Where the main land sits, where I find my soul.


3.Geese

All the leaves turn green in the summer
All the roses bloom in May
All the geese fly home for the winter
High above our earth now paved.

All the stars gleam for the night time
And the moon reflects its adjacent sun
Its so hard to find real answers
When no real side has won.
Well the grass covers up my body
And the river taught me to hear
Well trees have served as my refuge
And the dark it taught me to fear

All the men that live to burn
All the arms that love to hurt
All the hearts that have turned their worst..
We're so cold.

All the leaves soon loose their color
And the roses begin to fade
Crying loud I hear our mother
For just a few of those geese that were saved.

Well the grass covers up my body
And the river taught me to hear
Well trees have served as my refuge
And the dark it taught me to fear

All the men that live to burn
All the arms that love to hurt
All the hearts that have turned their worst..
We're so cold.


4.Lord Devil & Him

I guess that's it, giving up, giving in
I seem to think I can always win.
But I was wrong, replacingly
A dirty towel for a bed of sheets.
I am here and it is now,
No talk of futuristic keep your head on the ground
Self it seems so selfishly, accuse the killer.

Because I have tried
But it seems I never learned to pry open the can
And here I stand with broken fingers.
Lord open his eyes, help him see
Through that disguise that he cannot
See upon the human devil& the human devil.

So it is now, and we are cold
To see you sick with half a soul
Words are cheap and love it speaks
The volumes that we need to make our hearts grow weak
So come on back, and have some laughs
Remember that the good times they ain t so bad.
Cuz I am dying to try and find a way we can leave this..
All behind.

Because I have tried
But it seems I never learned to pry open the can
And here I stand with broken fingers.
Lord open his eyes, help him see
Through that disguise that he cannot
See upon the human devil& the human devil.

Because I have tried
But it seems I never learned to pry open the can
And here I stand with broken fingers.
Lord open his eyes, help him see
Through that disguise that he cannot
See upon the human devil& the human devil.


5.Today

Another day it's all the same
Another way to make it sane.
And here we are another breed.
Another train to make it seem all ok.

In and out of all these towns.
Spins me round, it takes me down, takes me down.
Lyin here oh what to do.
Same ole stuff it's the same old tune,
the same old tune

Give it up, give it out,
Give it in, or give it down.
But it's all the same
same old song, it's the same old thing
Cuz it waits, it waits on you.

Go to sleep, go to bed.
Lay it up, put down your head.
The day is o'er and the night has fallen
We'll do it all again, yeah we'll do it all again.

Give it up, give it out,
Give it in, or give it down.
But it's all the same
same old song, it's the same old thing
Cuz it waits, it waits on you....

Give it up, give it out,
Give it in, or give it down.
But it's all the same
same old song, it's the same old thing
Cuz it waits, it waits on you....


6.Dangerous

The TV's blaring, the radio is turned up loud
Maybe then I'll sleep well, maybe then I'll drown you out.
Don't want to think much I don' t want to reminisce
Cuz love songs and poems have all lead, they've all led me to
this.

It's dangerous, to be sleepin alone.
And it's way way way it's way to cold
To be at home.

I've locked up tightly I must say I've had my doubts
Cuz they will kick and they will scream
but there's no way they're ever getting out.
They breathed fresh air once, a long time a long time ago.
And now stuck up inside my head, how they ever gonna grow?

It's dangerous, to be sleepin alone.
And it's way way way it's way to cold
To be at home.
And I am what I am, yes I am what I am
It ain't that bad.

What I'm tryin to say here is not worth, it's not worth your
time
I'm just a lonely, a lonely love sick boy with my rhyme.

It's dangerous, to be sleepin alone.
And it's way way way it's way to cold
To be at home.
And I am what I am, yes I am what I am
It ain't that bad.
And even the toughest white boy, yes even the baddest white boy
He still gets sad.


7.FM Radio

I heard about, i heard about your daddy got sick.
Drove down to the river to die alone.
Seven days, seven days till they found him all.
Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat.
So we put him in the ground.
Down, Down, Down.
Your momma said 'stay strong, don't cry.'
So that is what you did.

Years later, years down later down the road.
On a bus with your FM Radio, half drunk, a cigarrette
hangin out.
What happened to your lonely soul? Crying out.
What happened to your lonely soul? Screamin out.
You said try and lose.
You said try and lose.
Everything you've known.
Everything you've seen.
Everything you've loved.
Everything you've been
And everywhere you walk
Every Song you sing
Everytime you wake
it haunts you once again.
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home.


8.You're The Cocaine

Joshua James - You're The Cocaine

Well I broke, I wrote a song
About our love, and how its strong
How your kisses keep me warm.
And even when I make you cry,
I'll still sing you lullabies.
Make those grey clouds bright blue skies.
Because you're the cocaine in my veins.

This is something I regret
Not confessing how I felt,
How my heart beats quicker still.
So melt your body into mine,
Become as one over time,
Lord shake her bones and make her mine.
Because you're the cocaine in my veins.

And darlin the dirt beneath your feet,
And the scars that line your knees,
Are what keep me moving on,
are what keep me moving on.
When broken down out on the streets,
And not a sign that I can see
You're the compass that I need.

You're the cocaine inside my blood stream
You're the bright light, the constant moon beam
You're the north wind that will carry me home.

You're the woman I've been looking for
Because you're the cocaine in my veins

You're the woman I've been looking for
Because you're the cocaine in my veins


9.Abbie Martin

Do you remember when time, wasn't an issue at all,
It was where you were going, how far you could walk
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

Do you remember the scent of the summer so sweet?
As the the stars would watch over our souls through the weeds.
And the hounds in their fences would bark at the breeze
While we d scream out confessions of love through the trees.
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Cuz I do.

It was the year 93 if my mind does recall.
Seems so long and so distant, not distant at all
I sang songs to you crying till something did change.
It was time, it pushed us older till we didn't even say hello..

Hello,
Hello,
Hello.

It's been four long years since I've seen your face your voice
Will still resonate inside my bones
When the breeze runs by and whispers that old song, I do.

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

I do.


10.Tell My Pa

Come on love, Come on drugs
I need the help, pick me up.
I'm feeling low, the alcohol
Is wearing off.

The cocaine wore a hole inside
My bitter soul, my foolish pride.
Call my pa, tell you saw me
Hangin here.

The blood it stains,
The carpet well,
You ran and told,
Somebody else.
But now its gone,
The need I felt,
The cocaine drug,
Inside my head.
Please leave me hangin here
Please leave me hangin here

Come on love, Come on drugs
I need the help, pick me up.
I'm feeling low, the alcohol
Is wearing off.

The blood it stains,
The carpet well,
You ran and told,
Somebody else.
But now its gone,
The need I felt,
The cocaine drug,
Inside my head.
Please leave me hangin here
Please leave me hangin here
Please leave me hangin here
Please leave me hangin here

Come on love, Come on drugs
I need the help, pick me up.
I'm feeling low, the alcohol
Is wearing off.


11.Our Brothers Blood

Apologies never sounded insincerer
Than when calling up a mother,
Her bloody child on the battle field of war,
While the pretty politicians
lay their babies down to sleep.
Not a chance in hell
will that boy taste the blood.

And the triumphant view of liberty
Stands firmly in New York,
While the color of our oceans's painted red.
Well president I hope you found
What you went over looking for.
Or is your plan to send us all
Until we're dead?

Because one by one we will watch them die,
In shallow graves our soldiers lay,
Well NBC show us the blood on the country side.
God bless, god bless the USA.

If the document of freedom
Keeps us safely in our homes
Then its fine to sacrifice our brothers blood.
Cuz it ain't my son that's fighting in the war
Across the seas.
Give em hell boys point and shoot
Their time has come.

Because father son we will watch them die
Manifest destiny you paved the way
NBC show us the blood on the country side
God bless, god bless the USA.

Line us up,
Give us guns,
We're trained to kill,
The time has come,
Let this war drain all our brothers blood

Because one by one we will watch them die,
In shallow graves our soldiers lay,
Well NBC show us the blood on the country side.
God bless, god bless the USA.


12.Commodore

Commodore, commodore, commodore
well save yourself,
the cellars cold but dry.
Commodore, commodore, commodore
well grab your coat,
The wind'll blow out your eyes.

Well this closet's not cold
with the embers in my hair.
Even papa sleeps tonight.
Mama said the war will end
just as soon as it began.
But then why do we sit and hide?
Commodore oh why?

Commodore, commodore
hide those books,
your candles will keep you warm tonight.
Commodore, commodore, commodore
when they knock your place
drown the cellar light.

Well this closet's not cold
with the embers in my hair.
Even papa sleeps tonight.
Mama said the war will end
just as soon as it began.
But then why do we sit and hide?
Commodore oh why?

It's the blackest of the nights
And the moon won't shine it's light
And the streets stained red so brighte

Well this closet's not cold
with the embers in my hair.
Even papa sleeps tonight.
Mama said the war will end
just as soon as it began.
But then why do we sit and hide?

Mama said the war will the end
just as soon as it began.
Even Papa slept tonight
but no not me i sat and stared
out the window to the streets
and saw men and women die.

My god my god oh why?
My god oh why?
My god oh why?
My god oh why?
