The Law of Gravity
02:26
|
|||

How long, how long
Will you insist that you are wrong for me
And me for you
I know, I know
We're gonna happen anyway
No matter what we do
It's the law of gravity
You'll be falling into me
It's the law of gravity
The law of gravity
You say the stars
Will never line up close enough
For this wish to come true
I disagree
If you and I aren't meant to be
Then why'd I fall for you?
It's the law of gravity
You'll be falling into me
It's the law of gravity
The law of gravity
Not believing in love is the same as not believing in gravity
You can try, but you will fall
It's the law of gravity
You'll be falling into me
It's the law of gravity
The law of gravity

You had me by a puppet string
Another jerk in your big show
You never met anybody you couldn't put to egoistic use
Oh, it never fails, they always end up dizzy, strung out from the same abuse
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with you
You think you will find happiness
By ripping it from someone else
It won't be a long time until everybody you spit out is replaced
And you won't have anybody left to swallow up and fill that empty space
Your saccharine smile is a cruel trick
So narcissistic, you cannot co-exist
You're caustic, salt in a slit wrist
You have cured me of my incipience
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with you

Greta
02:33

"We deserve a safe future. And we demand a safe future."
Sea levels are on the rise
Tiny hands tweet deceit and lies
Youth rebellion is mobilized
Now I would do
Anything for Greta, Greta
Even though I never met her, met her
I gotta make the world better, better
I have to try
Anything for Greta, Greta
Even though I never met her, met her
I gotta leave the world better, better
Before I die
Science warned us for fifty years
Can't live outside the biosphere
Tipping points are already here
Now I would do
Anything for Greta, Greta
Even though I never met her, met her
I gotta make the world better, better
I have to try
Anything for Greta, Greta
Even though I never met her, met her
I gotta leave the world better, better
Before I die
"Do you think they hear us? We will make them hear us!"
Now I would do
Anything for Greta, Greta
Even though I never met her, met her
I gotta make the world better, better
I have to try
Anything for Greta, Greta
Even though I never met her, met her
I gotta leave the world better, better
Before I die
"And if you belong to that small group of people who feel threatened by us, then we have some very bad news for you, because this is only the beginning!"

My First Kiss
03:07
|
|||
|
I was a tender boy
I was confused
I didn't know the difference
Between being loved and being used
I thought I was safe
Walking home from school with you
You were just a little girl
A little taller, but still
You crushed me up against a fence
And put your mouth over mine
I wasn't ready for it
No, no, no, you shoved me across a line
And I fell on the other side
Of my first kiss
With the taste of blood and strawberry ChapStick
On my lips
My first kiss
I walked home in a daze
Into my room and locked the door
I felt a twitch, I moved an inch
But I didn't know what it was for
I felt like I'd beat up
I was afraid to go outside
You were just a little girl
A little taller, but still
You crushed me up against a fence
And put your mouth over mine
I wasn't ready for it
No, no, no, you shoved me across a line
And I fell on the other side
Of my first kiss
With the taste of blood and strawberry ChapStick
On my lips
My first kiss
My first kiss
I could not resist
My first kiss
Every boy's wish
My first kiss
My first kiss

Echoes in My Head
02:52
|
|||
|
Can't you feel it?
I think about you all the time
Stare at the clock all night
And wonder if I'm on your mind
Hold back the morning
I'm not ready for the sun
Sent you a message
I hope I didn't wake you up
I can't remember
Anything you ever said
Did I really hear you
Or was it all just echoes in my head?
Was it all just echoes in my head?
Dawn is breaking
I close the blinds and close my eyes
You're probably waking now
If you reach back I'll be surprised
Hold back the morning
I'm not ready for the sun
Sent you a message
I hope I didn't wake you up
I can't remember
Anything you ever said
Did I really hear you
Or was it all just echoes in my head?
Was it all just echoes in my head?
It's not what you said that keeps me awake at night
It's the way you move your eyes that sets me on fire
Hold back the morning
I'm not ready for the sun
Sent you a message
I hope I didn't wake you up
I can't remember
Anything you ever said
Did I really hear you
Or was it all just echoes in my head?
Was it all just echoes in my head?

Ride On
04:16
|

|
I am riding through the desert
Burning through the dark
Guided by the wisdom of a million distance stars
Two wheels underneath me
A six gun at my side
Holding on with one hand on the edge of the great divide
I keep putting miles behind me
'Cause I'm a wanted man
Didn't like the dealer, now his blood is on my hands
I could've gone the distance
Instead I went too far
Nothing left for me but open road and my guitar
I don't know where I'm going
Ride on, ride on
If you see me keep going
Ride on, ride on
My mother tried to love me
My father I don't know
Maybe he was like me and that's why he had to go
I don't think too much about it
Can't change it anyway
Just get on with the business of getting on each day
I don't know where I'm going
Ride on, ride on
If you see me keep going
Ride on, ride on
No-one ever showed me what it means to be a man
So I'm finding my own way the best that I can
There's a woman and she knew me
Loved me just the same
Her baby had my eyes
He's better off without my name
I don't know where I'm going
Ride on, ride on
If you see me keep going
Ride on, ride on

The Bad Batch
03:14
|
|||
|
You're not like the rest of us
It's time you got off the bus
There is a place to bury your face and slip into the dream
The rolling desert thunder is much closer than it seems
When you're tripping through a breakdown
And you're going slightly mad
There's a thought you have to chase down
From the life you used to have
Ooh, ooh, you're the bad batch
Ooh, ooh, you're the bad batch
You still have another leg
Save yourself, keep your head
Take your gun to hunt down the one who wrote your tragedy
Your rabbit's on the fire now and that can't be unseen
When the new king tries to tempt you
With a novel empty dream
And you're left with next to nothing
You might find that's all you need
Ooh, ooh, you're the bad batch
Ooh, ooh, you're the bad batch
Run, baby, run
Fast as you can
Straight into fate
Lose yourself in the sand
Ooh, ooh, you're the bad batch
Ooh, ooh, you're the bad batch
Ooh, ooh, you're the bad batch
Ooh, ooh, you're the bad batch

The Husht Sacramento, California
A psychedelic pop/rock indie band on a creative journey through science fiction and the human experience. Influenced by Nirvana, The Cure, Pink Floyd, and Stephen Hawking.
The Husht recommends:
Compilation Album (2020)
by Reinhardt Buhr
His amazing looping technique really shows what you can do with a couple of chords and imagination. This is my new go-to album for destressing.
