Lyrics to a new song: Love Grows

Tentative lyrics to "love grows"

We’re working on a new song which will hopefully be debuted at Stubb’s. Here are the tentative lyrics. Let me know what yall think.

Chorus:
Love grows
it never goes away
we just remove
the blocks that are in our way

Verses:
What would you do with your time if you had it?
Watch movies read books or study mathematics?
Kick a habit?
Play video games, stay at home all day
Garden, throw a party, work your body or start a new fashion?
What’s your passion?
Do you need activities that make you you?
Who would you be if you had nothing to do?
If no sports or magazines, no money suit or screens,
No kitchens or cooking or food or things,
Defined who you were
And who you want to be?
Would you just ask them back to fill
A whole hole black,
Stack paper on paper
And paper on plastic till you had so much nothing
That you couldn’t not have it?
Would you sit in a cave,
Stave off hunger and rage, temptation
Thinking crazy till you found what you were made of?

It’s a trick question
If its all in our minds
Doing and not doing are the same
It’s the thought that counts in this video game
The why the motivation and what you think is real
Can you under the layers like an onion peel?
You might start to cry it’s a natural reaction
But you’re gaining traction
Satisfaction comes cause the tears mean nothing
Why be upset when the result shall be sumptious?
I’d do what I’m doing but
I’d take it all lightly.
Knowing what I like to see aint sighly
My eyes are flightly, slighting me slightly.
I laugh at it all, knowing I’m all mighty.

And then I’d love the world
Every creature without other
Seeing each enemy as none but my brother
Treating every stranger like my very own mother
Undercover, smothered in respectful non-judgement
That is the truth of what we meant that love meant
No energy spent, no sacrifice rent
Love only grows is never lessens
You can’t give up what you are,
You just question it
Messing it, testing it.
Just confess it.
You need nothing,
Cause you’ve already got it all.
Just gotta work to get the veil to fall
Hit the lights yall, we’ll dance at the ball
You need nothing, naught at all
Can’t be a lack when you’re born with it all.

  [...] Plus, we’re working really hard on getting a couple of new songs ready to perform. Those who have heard snippets eeking out of the garage door all seem to really dig the sound we’re producing. I can’t tell you much about them yet, but you can check out the rough draft of the lyrics of one of the songs here. [...]
