Sugar Cake

“I thought the world was sugar cake”
Easily Seen and Easily made
Instead I walk into the woods
Axed the trees right to the roots
Meet a Dark Girl at the Heart
Coaxes me into her arms
“I thought the world was sugar cake”
But all I taste is ash and waste
Took a long walk by the sea
Alone with just the two of me
Dark Girl and the deep blue sea
Babylon, the Mystery
“I thought the world was sugar cake”
But all I taste is ash and plague
Dark Girl and the deep blue sea
Babylon, the mystery
“I thought the world was sugar cake”
But all I taste is ash and waste
Took a long walk by the sea
Babylon, the Mystery

How I Lost My Voice

There is a place
I used
To know
In front of a mic
Played the show
Whispered cues
from the drummer
I hear
Finished the set…
Packed the gear
This is how
I lost
My voice
Some people will break your heart in two
Bless those come and heal you
Bless those who quiet all the noise
Bless those who give you back your voice
Bless those who give you back your…
This is how I lost my
(Voice)

In Even Strokes
04:17

Half light on,
An evening stroll
Old Men complain
Sunbathers squeeze the last life out of the sun
She takes the distance in even strokes
Far out where the deep begins to roll
Smile at the blind man, he won’t care…
Laugh for the deaf-mute, she can’t hear...
Mind the time
The waves and the tide,
consuming all
She takes the distance in even strokes
Far out where the deep begins to roll
Smile at the blind man, he won’t care, but God sees everything
Laugh for the deaf-mute, she can’t hear, but God hears everything
Half light on,
an evening stroll
Old Men complain
Sunbathers squeeze the last life out of the sun

Let's Grow Old

Let's grow old
no need to pretend
no need to mend it
weathered and winded
Why not grow old?
The world is not theirs alone!
Why not grow old?
The world is still ours to hold!
Plastic faces
erasing
the traces
of
mistakes made in places
Plastic faces
mocking young faces
Afraid to show our ages!
Let’s grow old!
Why not grow old?
Put away your toys and games!
Put away your toys and games!
Bow your head, don't fight it!
Bow your heart, be enlightened!
(I hope you like what you see!)
Just grow old!
Let’s grow old!
(I hope you like what you see!)
Let’s grow old!
Ha!

Fast Forward & Rewind

Stiff arms
No grace
Never knew that I
Walked so funny
Stiff arms
No grace
Don’t want to face the fact
I’m not so lovely
Fast forward, rewind
Fast forward, rewind
Stiff arms
No grace
Don’t want to face the fact
I’m not so lovely
So I pray in the evening
I hope a lot of things
I will get by
So I pray in the evenings
fast forward, rewinding
Will I get by?
She reads in the evenings
She knows a lot of things
She says help her get by, help her get by
He reads in the evening
He knows a lot of things
I guess he gets by, I guess he gets by
Stiff arms
No grace
Never knew that I
Walked so funny
Stiff arms
No grace
Don’t want to face the fact
I’m not so lovely
Hang your antique mirror
Reflection is unclear
What you saw surprised you
But did it change inside you?
See what you want to see
It’s not what you ought to be
Fast forward and rewind!
See what you want to see
We will get by (but will we get by?)
We will get by (but will we get by?)

Jason's three latest projects have been filled with inspiration and career highlights; I think Life In Bed might be one of his best tracks. Vanity as a whole is on a constant high level quality wise, and I think it really shows an artist's greatness when they are able to create art like this so deep into their journey.
