DON'T LIE song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler

The sun comes up
a cloud of dust flies behind us
the sky is red and blue
and if to remind us
only 2000 miles to go
the road markers moving so slow
but this is the only road we know

We'll it a shot
get out with our skin and our wheels
There's not a single thing left
we can beg, borrow or steal
take to the cross country highway
we might be late but we hope not too late
no need no need to cry babe

Today we will follow the sun in its path
a hundred years from now
we'll look back on this and laugh
but for today just push on the gas
and roll as fast as we can
Tomorrow and tomorrow creeps on its petty pace
but for now this is a race for your life race
To try to disappear without a trace
taking it on the lam

So baby sing out the blues
as you make up the song
it's only us two and you know you knew
that here there aint no right or wrong
the only thing that I ask you
the only thing you gotta try
is don't lie don't lie don't lie

The worst hurt you can hurt is when you're trying to help
the best fool you can fool is when you're fooling yourself
when everything you've built is starting to melt
right there in your hands
Everything that you believed turned out to be false
everything that you saved might as well have been lost
you put up a pyramid, built up a cross
but it crumbled back into sand

Well you had a nice dream
but it fell apart
then all you had left
was a mountain of debt
and your heart
But take to the road still believing
And as long as it keeps beating
someday so fast and so high
We will fly, will fly, will fly

You can't hide from the sun
it will always find you
you can't hide on the run
till you find out what is true
So if I explode
hang on baby just us two

Oh once again in between the coasts
from one end to the other
a country full of ghosts
someday get to the other end
another sunrise around the bend
So baby sing out the blues
as you make up the song
it's only us two and you know you knew
that here there aint no right or wrong
the only thing that I ask you
the only thing you gotta try
is don't lie don't lie don't lie

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
