I couldn’t see thing!” One guy turns to me and asks, “Aren’t you a famous hacky sack player?” “No, I can play…

The Basement We all had a great time together In the basement making tie-dyes and other art projects including a huge, psychedelic fluorescent mural on a large canvas.

Only Memories
Somehow time stole you away but in the echos of today I still feel you pressing ever close close to me In the faded evening light I still feel you holding me tight but it’s only only memories I sit around and tell myself that you never really cared But the past keeps reminding me…
