The Right & The Wrong

We’ll never be certain we see the same colors
My silver your red
Cause what I see as absolute
Seems subjective to you
Could you truly believe what you bray at me
Or just need to say that
I’m right and you’re wrong
I’d burn down this house before I admit I’m wrong
(Never concede, deny, impede, on and on)
Now if I could rip this land in two
You’d never hear me, I’d never see your
Rather we split than we compromise
Cause I can’t keep staring in those eyes
While you lie so righteously
You serve your contempt with hypocrisy sayin
CHORUS
We’ll never be certain we saw the same colors
Bruised flesh, blood red
Cause what I saw as something true looked like nothing
To you
You can’t truly believe what you bray at me?
You just need to say that
CHORUS

Sour cherries, prickly pair
I fear my cupboards bare
Winter berries, bitter juice
Seeps, and soaks straight in
I don’t know how to say
By now, it seems every words cliche
But still I try
To carve a new world
From the old one
Where I can make a space
Where I don’t have to face
Expectations
I won’t hide away
Climb out of my lonesome cave
And search the sky
To find a new world
In the old one
Where I can make a space
Where I don’t need to face
Expectations
So long have I been this way
Eyes adjust to gloom
Locked inside my empty room
You may see another man
Standing in my shoes
Where once burned
New life pushes through
To carve a new world
From the old one
Where I can make a space
Where I don’t have to give

Was that always you
Calling out
Was that always who
Lived inside, hiding from all light
You could never know
Another’s soul
You could never see
What someone else really needs
I need to feel like I’m getting through
I didn’t see then now I do
Sometimes the only thing I can do
Is shut my mouth and listen to you
And when I hear you, know I hear all of you
A faded piece of yourself
Worn down by the beating tide
You’ve been rubbed raw
Till it’s all gone
All the highs and the lows
Until you know you don’t know this body you own anymore
So many faces across time
Have gazed through the same glass you lost yourself in
Each one had to decide
Give in or reach out to hands on the other side

Tiger escaped from my dream last night
Running wild through the whiskey sky
Everybody’s trying to shoot her down
But the bullets rip through paper clouds
Often wonder if I’ll see her again
Pounding through the dirty snow
Everything bounces off her blazing back
But those gold eyes they never attack
Man fears the wild things he can’t change
Offers two options
To be killed
Or be tamed
Tiger escaped from my dream last night
Running wild through the whiskey sky
Everybody’s trying to shoot her down
But the bullets rip through paper clouds

If We'd Never Met
04:01

Please bear my repetition
we’ve all been young fools
When you look back on the ones you loved
Does that seem like a different you?
consider missed moments, missteps
Heartbreaks and fuckups that led to this exact now
This you and me now
Was it worth the line?
If we never met and never knew
What could have been
I don’t believe there’d be half of me
Left standing
If we never met
I might be existing
But I’d be missing someone
I never knew
When I was small and somewhat protected
I’d wonder about what lay ahead
Ty to fathom a life among the stars
From the warmth of my twin bed
Whatever you may picture
It’s never close to the way it plays out
You write your tale so sure of yourself
the plot drifts, points are missed,
You have no idea who’s the lead or what it’s all about
CHORUS
As you consider
missed moments, missteps
Heartbreaks and fuckups that led to this exact now
This you and me now
CHORUS

What We Came Here For
05:22

Tell me how I’m supposed to work with all this noise
Clang and clamor, all these lives scrolling by
Might have seen too much for one set of eyes
Dipped my brain in batter and I let it fry
Help me clean
The city grime from these bones
To the sea
Find an unclaimed part of me. (Instrumental horn part instead?)
We don’t have to go back home
We could keep on driving slow
If we lose ourselves
Don’t bother searching
We found what we came here for
If I could just unplug I might spare a thought
Disconnecting redirecting, all signals lost
Days flap by on dirty wings
Each one tastes the same
See things I recognize but can’t supply the name
So we flee
In the night, to the shore
In the sea
Wash away all trace of me (Instrumental horn part instead?)
We don’t have to go back home
We could keep on driving slow
If we lose ourselves
Don’t bother searching
We found what we came here for

Jesse Cobb San Francisco, California
Jesse Cobb & The Golden West are a band that blends the various flavors of Californias musical history into a tangy rock n soul stew. Folding in the SoCal-slick jazz-funk sounds of Steely Dan, the earthy Americana crunch of Neil Young, and the joyful improvisation and group dynamics of Western swing, the Golden West has a raw, fiercely original sound that could only originate on the best coast. ... more
