Staring at your phone screen Borderline lonely Long drives, short sets Small talk and cigarettes Soon you’ll have a family Can’t keep losing money Everything is slowing down But I just wanna keep running I keep running San Francisco’s dead Taken over by the internet All the clubs are closing After all the artists left The tickets won’t sell Everybody’s moved on Maybe you can wait it out Everything comes back around Everything comes back around Everything comes back around Buying groceries on credit Royalties forget it IRS on my back And I ain’t even made shit Staring down the barrel Of another four years Nothings changed same debate Between fantasies and fears Falling farther into fascism We need a revolution Murder porn glued to your screen Sedated in a debtor’s prison Every year the fire’s worse This technology’s a curse This problem’s too big for me We’re evolving in reverse Some try to deny it Others try to fight it Some simply accept their fate Other tries to buy it Move to the suburbs where you feel safe Send your kids to the schools Where they all look the same Everyone looks like their friends Now I feel like one of them Skinny jeans, plaid shirt Beard and bun, converse Bawling my eyes out At the Pixar movie That opening scene in “Up” Really fucking moved me You’re the wild card You’re the wild card You’re the wild card You’re the wild card Staring at the second hand Feeling like a grain of sand How am I supposed to finish this? My attention’s like a goldfish

Leave the light on, I wanna see ya Put the record on, just like we used to Take your time, we’ve got all night To do it right We can go slow, I’ll wait for you All I know is I’m gonna savor you Times are getting heavier So I’m just going to keep loving you better and better and better I don’t want the world outside To come between you and I Give you all I have take my whole life Under a blue moon be my wife I’m going to keep loving you deeper You’re my past, present, future You’re my past, present, future You’re my past, present, future You’re my past, present, future You’re my past, present, future

Golden Shore 04:15
We weren’t born with hatred We were taught it as kids We were born with loving hearts But hate tore us apart Fear no more on that golden shore This is where you’ll find us We’ve been here all along This is where we’ve always been It’s where you belong Fear no more on that golden shore Stretch your wings and you will soar All that’s lost is found The second time around You know I love you know I love you know I love know I love you I do Another trip around the sun Waiting for your time to come Battered and bruised By a barrage of bad news Fear no more on that golden shore Stretch your wings and you will soar All that’s lost is found The second time around You know I love you know I love you know I love know I love you I do The moments you live for Are the same for which you die Flashes of brilliance Across the night sky All that’s lost is found The second time around All that’s lost is found The second time around All I ever do, is dream of you baby All I ever do, sing it right now baby All that’s lost is found The second time around You know I love you know I love you know I love know I love you I do

Maybe if it’s magic it must be real Time keeps turning like a whirling wheel Life keeps spinning like a disco ball The brighter you burn the farther you fall Baby I’m begging set my spirit free The dying of an age I need relief How do I become more than I am? There’s so much more I don’t understand Don’t lose this dream If it costs everything The more you don’t the more it means Otherwise why are you living? When better than most ain’t good enough You played your hand they called your bluff Compromise until you believe the lies But everyone’s soul has a price Don’t lose this dream If it costs everything The more you don’t the more it means Otherwise why are you living? Everything’s a game Different but the same Call it by another name Is it fate or is it timing? Stitched in that silver lining It’s the worst it’s the best Everyday put to the test

When the last God is gone That’s where I belong When the last God is gone Beyond the setting sun When names and faces Dwell in forgot song When the last God is gone Beyond the realm of death When the last God is gone Will be as if it never has When hopeless sinners have forgotten fear The endless will be here Endless time, dreamless nights Lonely lies, I’ll get by With a pouch full of sand, a helmet and a stone I poured my being into all I own Taken from me a lifetime ago But I have all the time in the world Endless time, dreamless nights Lonely lies, I’ll get by I’ll get by turbulent times Paying for someone else’s crimes All that you are, all that you’re told All that was, and will unfold All that I am, all that I own I will get back, In this world or the next Endless time, dreamless nights Lonely lies, I’ll get by The last God is gone When the last believer has forgotten The last God is gone Banished beyond the bottom Will be unwritten after the last stand But I will still be here helmet, stone, and sand

Golden handcuffs In my rearview mirror No matter where I go I could never leave you California Spend your whole life Searching for Blessed am I to have been born In a place like this Omnipotent Square one, full circle Deja vu I return to you Old and new Ooh ooh ah Ooh ooh ah In a half life I return to zero Square one, full circle Deja vu I return to you Old and new Waves of dew

Are you leading a life worth living Do you stand for anything Are you contributing good energy Who can answer them my friend, honestly? One track mind running blind don’t look back Are you doing it right or have you lost sight? Whatever gets you through the night Settle down my friend honestly, you’ll be alright Aimless drifter shape shifter Love your life You’ll be OK as long as you stay facing the light You can answer them my friend, honestly

When you feel like hope is gone There will always be a song Telling you to hold on Telling you to hold on When you feel like all is lost And all your rivers have been crossed May this light through the frost May your love light through the fog Many men have been below Where you stood many moons ago When you feel the tides have turned And all your bridges have been burned And all your lessons have been learned And all your spirits have been spurned All your love shall be returned All your love shall be returned Many men have been below Where you stood many moons ago You can trudge right through the snow Spring will come as sure as day So they say, so they say Many moons ago, many moons ago, many moons ago Many moons ago, many moons ago, many moons ago

about

King Dream Bodega, California

King Dream is a Bay Area psych-rock project from longtime songwriter and musician Jeremy Lyon. With roots planted in the golden era of California psychedelia, and a wry, playful energy that places him firmly in the 21st century, Lyon charts a path through timeless themes: disillusionment with oneself, with adulthood, with one’s country — and that there’s still plenty worthy of a love song. ... more
