OUT OF TODAY (Rick Reil) ©1994 The Grip Weeds Doesn't matter what I do when I'm hanging on the line Nothing I could give to you that I could say is mine I'm not sure I'm really here I conjure up what I would say And fool you so it does appear like it all has gone my way There is a shadow of a doubt that passes through You've got to open up and let it get to you Hours that have brought me here close together as we play But suddenly I disappear and leave you on display I'm waiting for the night to come so I can get out of today Can you find some other one who understands this way There is a shadow of a doubt that passes through You've got to open up and let it get to you SOLO There is a shadow of a doubt that passes through You've got to open up and let it get to you Turn back the clock and see what occupies your mind Lay down the lock that ever loses what you find



SALAD DAYS (Kurt Reil) ©1994 The Grip Weeds Coming down to the last time around but it's you who keeps changing my mind lost and found at the speed of sound thought I'd never make it in time Salad Days don't rain on my parade Let me feel the sunshine of your shade Draw me in to your room within with the guise of an unthreatening love help me steal from beneath the wheel and to learn that to give is enough Salad Days don't rain on my parade Let me feel the sunshine of your shade The sky has opened up to rain I suggest you do the same SOLO Letting go in the afterglow and the tears in your eyes make me smile what's inside is what you can't hide 'cause it's been there all the while Salad Days don't rain on my parade Let me feel the sunshine of your shade



CLOSE DESCENDING LOVE (Rick Reil) © 1994 The Grip Weeds I’ve been seeming far from being Close to finding out Never knowing I keep going ‘Till I’m crying out I’m gonna try till you let me know Out of my mind but I will not go Close descending close descending love Close descending through the rain you touch Your affliction an addiction Turns you into stone If you’re living your heart keeps giving But you stand alone And so you find that the light is low Out of your mind but you will not go Close descending close descending love Close descending through the rain you touch I’ll rest myself against your life and let the answer flow and for a time I can let it go to where it leads then I know



REALIZE/REALISE (Rick Reil) ©1994 The Grip Weeds As the icy window melts away and tides go down into the day Lay so low and bow your head You can feel the thoughts surround you so with innocence they bring you back To a new empathy I have never found the one who would unbound the chains that hold me down I have learned to look within To another world where I don't have to cross a bridge to lose myself Being in it I can realize Chorus: So how can you tell me that the love I sense is just a dream When the fear of loneliness is in your eyes To say would be the end A moment to comprehend That there is more before you realize No I won't be taken in and confiscated by what you believe though it hurts to stand alone But to make illusions melt away and walk behind the door and say I won't stop until I find my own Chorus It's too late for me to come around and see with bound and tethered eyes To ignore it when I can hear a sound that is deeper than you realize Verse 1 Chorus



SOMEONE (Rick Reil) ©1994 The Grip Weeds I take the flame from her blazing eyes Put out the heat that cries in the night Where I am waiting Freeing up a stage inside my mind And she sends her life giving light To pull me in a wrestle the sight That I am taking Being convinced there’s no mistaking In Her embrace Because it’s Someone to make me leave it Someone so I believe it Someone to feel the sound I me to reach the hand that’s held out Into the breach the water runs down And rushes over All the barricades behind my face When I search for words in my mind She draws her lips together with mine And my attention Turns all at once there’s no mention Of meaningless rhyme How does she know the landscape inside All of the winds that blow on the wild Amazing island Leading me in waves that turn to diamonds Playing so soundly in her eyes



EMBRACES (Kurt Reil) © 1994 The Grip Weeds a flower tree a silver hook a pantomime another book appearing as what anything she pleased i took a drink i filled the brook with honey from a silver hook that promised to relieve me for a while and long before embraces would begin i realized the mess that i was in lives of people living by who are they and who am i but they dont seem to notice where theyve been only i am standing here paralyzed with every fear wonder how i ever got this far and long before embraces would begin i realized the mess that i was in and i dont want though i could try im told that there's an open sky but who has got the guts to reach the air with all my hopes immersed in sleep where nothings good but the livings cheap and i can count the sheep that pass me by and long before embraces would begin i realized the mess that i was in and long before embraces would begin i realized the mess that i was in



ALWAYS COME ( M. Hargrave) © 1994 The Grip Weeds We were alive, takin' a drive worried only bout the waves at hand and getting to our favorite spots. It was the best, never a rest and in the night rehearse the band all in the name of staying wild. That was way before the law came down making it illegal in this town. No longer a place where we could always come We headed out, doing without all the designs of wealth and waste; doing the best with what we had. It would be tough, finding enough of a stretch of beach they hadn't touched and if we did, they'd be there soon. Feel 'em getting closer every day somehow there's got to be another way to find a place where we can always come. (Solos) (Chorus Progression) It was so weird - when it appeared to find a place right where we did; they would never think to look out here. And if you ask - to drink from the flask of the cool fine drink we found, pick it up and pass it around. I remember days before the pain watching all the beaches getting chained. Now we have a place where we can always come (Break) (Out)



DON'T BELONG (Kurt Reil) ©1994 The Grip Weeds OPENING RIFF 2X There are people all around me doing things I'd never do\ But I can't help but feel far apart from what is real Don't belong out here I know I don't belong RIFF 2X In a world where no one seems to care feel like I have fallen through Out of step and out of line in this space but not in time I won't be caught up here 'cause I know I don't belong RIFF 2X BRIDGE: Tried to fit into the regulations and the rules but it is not what I want to do not what I want to do Don't belong out here with you Why isn't it obvious to you that I am not gonna follow through I'm not gonna follow through There are people all around me doing things I'd never do But I can't help but feel far apart from what is real Don't belong out here I know I don't belong RIFF TO FADE



HAUNTED (M. Hargrave) © 1994 The Grip Weeds There's a black cloud over this house Nothin left to do but get out Save your hide cause the raven is markin' you down There's a north wind through this place Feel the vibes in a bad embrace Run for cover when you see that your cake is all dough And it feels like a stake right through the heart Never saw this finish from the start The lies of the villain were so easy to see There's a better place for you and me inside. See a shadow made of black and the white Hear a wail in the dead of night Gonna catch the trouble 'fore the day is done. Feel the tick of the clock at one And the crow of the cock at sun See the light and you're thinking that you made it through But it crawls, like a snake right through the park With a fire, known only as a spark The eyes of the villan are so dark in the day Wishing only for delirium your way. (Middle) There's a black cloud over this house Nothin left to do but get out Save your hide cause the raven is markin' you down. But it crawls, like a snake right through the park With a fire, known only as a spark The eyes of the villan are so dark in the day Wishing only for delirium your way. And it feels like a stake right through the heart Never saw this finish from the start The lies of the villain were so easy to see There's a better place for you and me inside.



BEFORE I CLOSE MY EYES (Rick Reil) ©1994 The Grip Weeds When the voices from inside swell together like the tide there is no place left that you can hide Pictures left of yesterday gather for another play tomorrow what is gone is here today Cause I don't know what's right or wrong But I know I'm not here for long Before I close my eyes I will be gone Images would be set free to become reality but there's a long hard road ahead of me As we go another mile nothing left to do but smile no matter what I do I'm like a child Cause I don't know what's right or wrong But I know I'm not here for long Before I close my eyes I will be gone Before I'm through I will reach out to you and bring to view the ties that we renew Messages that we receive some ignore and some deceive and hide behind what they would make believe All that is would ever be scenes repeating endlessly that lock us up until we find the key Cause I don't know what's right or wrong But I know I'm not here for long Before I close my eyes I will be gone



WALKING IN THE CROWD (Rick Reil) ©1994 The Grip Weeds Faces glancing all around vibrations in the air tried to get someone to look but don't know how to stare 'cause I feel so inconspicuous though I'm part of all of us it's only that I'm walking in the crowd - in the crowd Feel the rhythm catch the sound touch her if you can let yourself flow through the room because there is no plan But I don't know what it is that I am trying to accomplish when I get into walking in the crowd - in the crowd BRIDGE: what is it everyone's getting so worked up about? I don't think I want to stay SOLO Everybody seems so sure of what they're doing here maybe I am wrong to think that no one is sincere But I just can't seem to break the code instantly make myself known and lose me when I'm walking in the crowd - in the crowd -in the crowd
