CARRY THE TORCH
(Words & Music by Scott Collins and Kim Collins)
Wide eyed... and white tailed
I’m not here to lick your wounds
I am here to carry the torch
I ain’t mad it’s what I deserve
A thousand years and a thousand songs
Still not enough to turn the knob
I remember who I was and who I become
I remember it all... it all adds up
The future ain’t bright the past ain’t gone
The moment’s all I got to turn me on
I ain’t mad it’s what I deserve
I am here to carry the torch
Past lives... Don’t jive
I’m not lying in the tomb
I am here to carry the torch
I ain’t mad it’s what I deserve
A thousand knights and a thousand thrones
Still not enough to carry the load
All I was... all I become
All I am... it all adds up
The future ain’t right the past ain’t wrong
The moment’s all I got to turn it on
I ain’t mad it’s what I deserve
I am here to carry the torch
I am here to carry the torch
I am here to carry the torch
I am here to carry the torch
I am enough to change the earth
I remember who I was and who I become
I remember it all... it all adds up
I am here to carry the torch
I am here to carry the torch
I AM ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE EARTH...
I am here to carry the torch

Oceans Are Rising
(Words and Music by Scott Collins)
Just one thing can take this on
It’s deeper than us... les revolucion
Only love can take this on
Only love...love alone
The oceans are rising and so are we
The oceans are rising and so are we
The oceans are rising and so are we
Young sister take my hand
Nothing can stop us now
Young brother take my hand
Nothing can stop us
Just one thing can take this on
It’s deeper than us... les revolucion
Only love can take this on
Only love...love alone
The oceans are rising and so are we
The oceans are rising and so are we
The oceans are rising and so are we
Nothing can stop us now
Young lover take my hand
Nothing can stop us now
Young sister take my hand
Nothing can stop us
Just one thing can take this on
It’s deeper than us... the revolution
Only love can take this on
Only love...love alone
The oceans are rising and so are we
The oceans are rising and so are we
The oceans are rising and so are we

PATRIOCRISY
(Words & Music by Scott Collins and Kim Collins)
POTUS punk
Comic duck
Clearly you are just a con artist
The art of the deal or how to steal
How did you think we’d fall for it
Patriocrisy
Falling on you and me
So stand up
Time to stand up
Thy kingdom come
It will be done
Unto you
You fucking asked for it
The whistle blew
For her, me too
You work for us
and black lives... LIVES
Patriocrisy
Falling on you and me
So stand up
Time to stand up
Knocking down the gate
Not buying or selling hate
Stand up
Time to stand up
UP… STAND UP

SHIT HITS THE FAN
(Words by Scott Collins and Coley Kennedy, Music by Scott Collins)
Gotta lotta lotta love saved up
For a rainy day, for a rainy day
So when the shit hits the fan
Shit hits the fan
Grab an umbrella don’t worry
Love is gonna reign
Gotta lotta lotta love saved up
Wipe the tears away, wipe the tears away
So the shit’s hit the fan
Shit’s hit the fan
Grab an umbrella don’t worry
Love is gonna reign
It’s just you and me
Time to face that fact, but I got your back
Through the realz and the dreamz
Nothing we can’t tackle, I got your back girl
I got your back
Shit’s hit the fan
Shit’s hit the fan
Grab an umbrella don’t worry
Love is gonna reign
It’s just you and me
Time to face that fact, and I got your back
Through the realz and the dreamz
Nothing we can’t tackle, I got your back girl
I got your back
Gotta lotta love saved up for a rainy day.
Gotta lotta love saved up for a rainy day.
Gotta lotta love saved up for a rainy day.
Gotta lotta love saved up for a rainy day.

WHEN MY WORK IS DONE
(Words and Music by Scott Collins)
When my work is done
I’ll no longer hurt anyone
No more lies to the face
No more art or disgrace
I’ll say goodbye all you chumps
And get out of this place
When my work is done
When my work is done
I’ll no longer play for blood
No longer be called to live life on the run
I chose when to come in and the exit won’t be meant to stun
When my work is done
When my work is done
I will not regret failure
Nor glorify achievement
They are treasures one in the same
Wind in the sail
They carry us towards the grail
We were never meant to blackmail
That’s the truth son
When my work is done
The pain when it ends will equal the pain when it begun
Add it up, divide it, multiply it
You’ll reach the same sum
The love when it ends will equal the love when it begun
When the work is done
When my work is done
The pain when it ends equals the pain when it begun
Add it up, divide, multiply
You’ll reach the same sum
The love when it ends equals the love when it begun
When my work is done

The Smoking Flowers Nashville, Tennessee
There are not enough words to describe the intrinsic chemistry Kim and Scott Collins possess. They have discovered what some duos spend their entire careers trying to find: a fascinating marriage between artistic talent and subtle sensuality that pierces the attention of anyone in the same room as them... the second their wild feet touch the stage they exude just how tenured they truly are. ... more
