Rapture
03:18
|
|||
|
Walking over the lines of what's true
You saw me
Tangled in tentacles
Raptured in rhymes
Tell me would you stop me
Believing that I was in over my head
What is true now will be true again
Accessing grace and self love in this place is a sin
Believe me
But words are contested and so is your time
And you do not need me
To self deprecate to feel safe in your head
If I will you to break then I will break instead
The fish are all dying and so are our friends
So I dedicate this song to the roses that grow
Around me
And I resonate with the ways that I break
And the words that drown me
I choose to love when I could choose to hate
For my will is steady
And I'm willing and ready to be here again
Pulling from heaven a world I can see
Listening learning the language
Right in front of me

The Burning Sun

She lifted off in a rocket ship to sail around the world
Lift off into nothingness to watch the planets twirl
She said I don't know where I'm coming from
I don't know where I've been
I want to feel the burning sun
Let it release now
Burn below my feet now I don't care
If I'm on my way I am already there
I will not despair
Trying to compare
Now up above and with the stars
She held out to the light
A vessel in a crystal jar
Hoping that they might
Fill it with the finest red
Of blood before it spills, oh I am
Wandering until I'm dead ot find
What will fill me
I am ready and I will be dying again
As the golden breath of summer finds an end
I am sinking in
Blending with the wind

Muted Greens
03:46
|
|||
|
Suffocated by a stream
Of conscious tides and muted greens
They say you find it in the trees
Oh and it breaths
Serenading while we're breaking
Lips are dry and legs are shaking
Staring back at the mess we're making
Oh while we're breaking
Painfully colliding with a thing that isn't mind
You see it wasn't my design
How did I get so intertwined?
Walk on water its crystal clear
Its the only way out of here
Buildings burning smoked out with fear
Oh while we're here
I heard my name
When it called to me oh I came
Through the forest to find the flame
Oh where she sang
Little girl don't be afraid now
Of the wreckage from which you came out
Of the heavy clouds
Comes the rain
Painfully colliding with a thing that isn't mind
You see it wasn't my design
How did I get so intertwined?

The Tension
04:59
|

|
I can’t relate
What a fine time to escape
Into my mind and wait for a while
It can shake
Everything can break
Throw me and my songs and snakes
Back into the wild
It won’t be such a hard time if you go
When the earth is covered up in snow
Spreading out
Waiting on the outskirts of this town
are miles and miles
I can’t explain what’s rushing through my veins
I feel so estranged
Tangled in the floor tiles
It won’t be such a hard time if you go
When the earth is covered up in snow
It was everything but I
Wanted something
To be left open
To be forgotten
But you told me nothing
You told me nothing
The final verse
A blessing and a curse
Never ending search
To hold something completed
Waiting here
In between faith and fear
At moments it's clear
That the tension is needed

Carnivores
04:07
|

|
Hypnotized they were telling me lies and I
Called you without warning I
Never really mean to but oh!
How the seasons go round
And the cold it is finding its way to the bone
Early for November
I wish you'd been there when I called
How could I be so bold?
If you're feeling down
I don't mind waiting around
And the songs that they told us to sing were all wrong
Never really noticed too much till the joy came along
I remembered my might
Dressed for dancing i found my way down to the shore
Opened up my ribcage and poured myself out as before
We can do this once more
Cause I'm feeling lonely sometimes
Scratch at the walls of my mind, of my mind
Oh I'm remembering why
I spread myself out sometimes
To swim between lines
Seldom I sing of love in such tangible form
Blessed are the backbones that hold our heads up
Through the storm
We can do this once more
Cause I'm healing now
Finding my voice somehow
All these strange faces all held into place
All of these carnivores don't know what to live for
I'm just dying to feel to know that it's real
Growing between us the blue and the green
When I wake up i try to remember my dreams
But before i can catch them they slip through the seams

Marrow
05:15
|
|||
|
And I told them I’d stay
Only for a while
For I wear no clothing
No skin just teeth and bones
See it’s in the marrow
Energy around us changes form again
And it’s in the music
Life that's all around us has been born again
And we walked away
To roll play
Disobey the letters etched in stone
Words they can serve us for a time then they must change you know
And it's in the shadows
The corners of our minds
That we find the questions
We hoped we’d never find
And we follow hallways
Into caves and caverns all the time
I chose to believe
In stories
The glory that’s written in the rhyme
Distilled from the water the truth it is harder to find

Cascades
05:15

What it takes
To be still enough to fall into place
To be falling freely from the high stakes
Oh it makes you feel alive
Shadows fall just beside us to make sense of it all
To remind us we're here and not at all
Oh I'm not afraid to die
It is slipping out the sides
Willed away
Just in time to find myself wide awake
And underground
Follow streams
To their source the silent spinner of dreams
Sitting patient playing with the dead leaves
Decomposing in the dawn
Follow sounds
Situated in the cup of their crown
And cascading down to find fertile ground
Oh I'm not afraid to die
Water breaks
Saves the babies from all of our mistakes
So we don't drown
I'm leaving the land for a while
My head is up high in the clouds
And I don't want to come down
Here all of the air it is clear
My body could just disappear
And I'd never be found

Sacred River
03:25
|
|||
|
Oh sacred river I wanted to be close to you
Felt the sorrow on my skin
heavy in the morning dew
I was here to wash away
The sediment that could not stay
Disperse all of my fears and turn my
Stone back into clay
Oh sacred river we
Move our bodies towards the sea
To open into endlessness once more
Oh sacred river I
Know that I was born to die
Wading into endlessness once more
Oh sacred river we
Lay our bodies out to breath
Sorrow in the nothing there was something there I swore
I wanted to break free from the lies that they told to me
I wanted to open
But I didn't know what I'd see
