High Tension Wire - Sara Milonovich (ASCAP)
I’m a high-tension wire, tinder waiting for the fire
Bite the bullet; bite my tongue, tired of preaching to the choir
Unrest up in the atmosphere even though the sky is moonshine clear
Couldn’t save the forest for the trees- now we’re staring at the underside of leaves
There's a hot breeze coming through the cracks
Rattling the rags of the banners of the past
Why are we still standing, looking down?
Look around
You drew your lines on pieces of printed paper
Faces of politicians, idols and pontificators
Singing “Praise the Lord”, and pass the blame to another generation
Playing possum, but the game’s up- you’ve run out of road it’s time to stop and listen
There's a hot breeze coming through the cracks
Can’t help but feel the ghost of Joe breathing down our backs
The rotten fruit, the bitter truth has hit the ground
Look around
Shadow of a feathered thing slowly disappearing
Slinking round the corner of this season of affliction
I see you from the shores of this busted river city
Sprawled out on the bank like a long-dead corpse someone forgot to bury
Enjoy your view of revolution from a safe, televised distance
Think it’s time we stop straddling and start cutting fences
There's a hot breeze coming through the cracks
Looking for a chance to take a little of it back
Shatter all our silence into sound
Look around

West of Eden (The Ballad of Schoharie)
- Sara Milonovich c. 2012 (ASCAP)
Driving, dodging the deer and the drunks
Past foundations left in the floodplain so long
Still there waiting where the water put them down
It is just flotsam? Or one more farm gone?
Who do you blame? The corps of engineers?
Or the wind and the rain, the way that they came out of nowhere?
Quench the thirsty downtown- we’ll never know the reason
They left us here West of Eden waiting to drown
Remember the fields in afternoons of amber
Now they’re buried in brown, and I feel like a foreignlander
Not anymore use– just a helpless bystander
Got to stand up for something, better be your neighbor
Neon eye’s focused on wildfires now
Long since forgotten the lead lining inside the clouds
Nothing left to do but wear it with pride as a shroud
It's a bitter drink, just swallow it down
Chorus
The grass has grown up to hide the worst of the scars
The money’s dried up with the mud in the yard
We sang “goodnight” but we’re still waiting for the stars
Could have cut out and run, but we just give up too hard
Chorus
We’re still here West of Eden, waiting to drown.
