Youth
Does not age, but burn
Does not fade, but yearn
From deep in the heart for fire
Passion
Will not grow, but breed
Will not die, but seed
Waiting in the dark for some kind of heat
To grow (To grow)
To grow
To grow
To grow
To grow
To grow
Manzanita
With your strong branches
Reach out
For the sun
Happiness
Is not owed, but earned
Is not found, but formed
As snow amongst the ashes
Of desire
Purpose
Could not rest in greed
Could not speak
But lead you into your light
From root to leaf
To Grow (To Grow)
To grow
To grow
To grow
To grow
To grow
Manzanita
With your strong roots
Grow down
And hold firm
For the Bloom
And the Sun
For the Flame
And the Ash
As the journey will have begun

Falsehoods Speak

I dream
Of days I lived naïvely
Blissful
Ignorant
I see
A million faces nobody knows
Yet they feel
Just as real
Falsehoods speak
Where memories fail
Comfort me
Knowing I’ve grown more frail
I sing songs
No one else sings anymore
I think about those
Who haven’t thought of me
In years
Falsehoods speak
Where memories fail
Tell me I’m a fool
And pull back the veil
I dream (I dream, I dream)
I see (I see, I see)
I sing (I sing, I sing)
I think (I think)
I feel

versatile. The entire musical landscape is my playground.

My Friend Kevin, he came out with some amazing music which I had the pleasure of collaborating on.

Ezra's music is honest and raw, simply presented, and a wonderful experience drawn from his personal growth. I had the lucky opportunity to contribute guitars to this album.
