Discography for “Upward Perspective”
“I Can” (Feat. Tessa Moxley) – Cole Connor
Lyrics:
I woke up this morning,
The world full of mourning and torment, was dormant
Til I decided to let nobody tell me what I can
what I can do is give this woman a kiss
Tell her that she gone be missed and insist
That she the most beautiful thing that I’ve ever seen
See I can’t do much if we talking money
But I can smile big cuz today is sunny
the birds flyin high, as they tweet tweet tweet
the kids walking by, as they tweet tweet tweet
Ah, ah I can’t afford to take her where she wanna go
But I can believe one day we gonna go, so
I do what I can
Oh, Oh
To follow my plan
They don’t
Have to understand
But I
Know what I can do, and I can do it, watch me prove it
I’m not rich, yet
And I aint flyin round in big, jet
But I believe if I do what I cant to create a plan, then one day the man
That I wanna be will right there in the mirror looking back
Saying look at that, made a choice coulda took it back
Got some texts and some crooked laughs but I been doing
what I can to
To change everything that was making me not see me, woah
I believe in me
I know the seasoning on all these chickens gone get old eventually
And I’ll breathe it in, and they’ll see me win but for now im like
I hear what you saying, I just don’t really agree with you
You got scared of playing, if I see it, imma see it through cuz
CHORUS
BRIDGE: (2x)
It’s not hard to forget I’m star
It’s not far, til I show all y’all
Seem like, a lost cause when I’m cursed with defeat
but there’s a dream that’s lurking in me man
CHORUS
I know I can do it, watch me do it, watch me prove it (4x)
I know what I can do (3x)
You think Imma loser right?
Maybe I am.
I’m just doing what I can man

Lyrics:
“God Was Made of Words” – Leanna Moxley with Carissa McKinney
Lyrics:
God was made of words
hushed on my skin
branches and bone.
Lost him in the lake
buried in green crumbling stones.
Lay me down on the riverbank,
cover my face with bark.
Chimney smoke in the distance,
voices in the dark.
I’ll sleep through the winter
Hope I will remember
Deep among the thorns
wielding my sword
hacking at trees.
Folded in the hills
I carry my heart,
wrapped up in leaves.
CHORUS
Here were dragons born,
here where we fought,
on the Earth’s skin.
I’ll no longer run,
stay firm on my feet,
not like I was then.
Slept all through the winter,
no need to remember.
Slept all through the winter,
no need to remember.
I slept through the winter
I’ll always remember
“Dog Friends and Family” – Chelsea Kinser with Isaac Kinser
Lyrics:
“Us Below” (Feat. “The Byrd” and Elias) – J-Byrd
Lyrics:
I guess I’ve got nowhere to go
Because my debts been paid and my car’s been towed
Looks like it’s about to snow
Down from the heavens on us below
And these lies I tell I’ve told before
So put the gun down and open the door
And once I’m in I’ll tell you more
Make love to me on the kitchen floor
One of whiskey, one of gin
Maybe I should go to work again
Cause these calluses are wearing thin
So open the door and let the sinners in
The memories they fade to gray
And to black and then they fade away
And when she asked me if I’d stay
I faded to black and then I faded away
But mercy walks on a crooked line
Forgiving those who been left behind
She steps in close with luck and fate
She washes your hands and she cleans your plate
I guess I’ve got nowhere to go
Because my debts been paid and my car’s been towed
Looks like it’s about to snow
Down from the heavens on us below
“Tempest Song” – Miriam McEwen with Elias Winkenwerder
Lyrics:
Meet me at the crossroads where the devil collects his pay
I’ll be dressed in lilac
You’ll be all in grey
We may not taste the blood, but we will feel the strain
When the lovers forget the colors running through our veins
Pull the strange children out of deepest waters
Mold them and hold them
And send them back again
Meet me at the crossroads where the devil whispers sweet
I’ll be waiting patiently
For you to marry me
We may not hear the flood, but we will smell the rain
When the winds blow across these dusty plains
CHORUS
Meet me at the crossroads where the devil disappears
I’ll be drifting in the lake
You’ll be nowhere near
We may not say the hour, but we will see the day
When the heavens know you have gone astray

“Finding Faith” – Tessa Moxley
Lyrics:
What you decide can’t hurt my pride
what they provide corrupt my insides
when we collide, there’s nowhere to hide
so don’t subside, come along for the ride
Oh no, I’ve done it again
slipped on the rocks when I thought I would win
I’m not crazy, but I won’t be denied
it’s called having a life, and I’m putting up the fight
’cause now we taste the rust on our cells
and we use already empty wells
I’m still thirsty, and I , I can’t breathe
but I know you’re gonna answer me
We wake up just a moment too late
it’s all just a dream and we’re stuck in the seams
and we’ll chase what we crave, not a moment too late
so open your eyes, see the lovely disguise
CHORUS x2
