In Green
02:37
|

|
You know I get down
Pale flesh surrendered to the ground
This thorny crown
Is placed upon a rotting brow
As fragile clocks fragment
And scatter widely from their spheres
My voice decays before
It meets your ears
In narrows in between
And cloaked in cottonwood seed
A memory of a dream
I dwell in green

Run Out
02:28
|
|||
|
To wait is to radiate
Take a breath and integrate
Would you be so
Would you be so kind?
Small rabbit on the porch
Feeding insects with it’s corpse
Will you be so
Will you be so kind?
Run out of time
Step out of line
Go ahead and fall behind
A shadow on the threshold
Turn away or watch this unfold
What might you
What might you find?

Emerge

|

|
When did your hair get so long?
When did those branches sprout from your forehead?
The song begins again
Chords you knew but always must forget
All of this growing disturbs the silence
The song begins again
Surrounding us with nettles and violets
No time to rest like flowers pressed
Between yellow pages

Gone Wishin'

This net will catch and carry
To win to eat to bury
Bones blood and burning rubber
Nourishing one another
We are reeling them in
Heads piled on the table
Falling feathers and fins
This net will catch and carry
To win to eat to bury
Bones blood and burning rubber
Nourishing one another
May the will of the masses
Let us pass and let us last
Long through the night
This thing we’ve caught and carried
A creature we have ferried
This net will catch and carry
To win to eat to bury
Bones blood and burning rubber
Nourishing one another
We are reeling them in

Having Fun
02:15
|
|||
|
While the sun is full of kindness
On the run is where you'll find us
For now and in the long run
I just wanna have fun
Time unfettered and unyielding
Heart that’s tethered to a feeling
For now and in the long run
I just wanna have fun
Winning always makes me queasy
Choose a game but keep it easy
For now and in the long run
I just wanna have

Come to my patch of dirt
And watch me draw my lines
As the pines are reaching up
And bolstering the sky
These windows hanging from a thread
The hollow moon an empty tune
That bounds around
And chases down the dread
Here we are
Just waiting for our branch to break
Maybe there's time
To celebrate the chances we don’t take
I’ll rearrange
The letters of your name
But there’s no need to place the blame
On any living thing
We know can feel the pain
Here we are
Just waiting for our branch to break
Maybe there's time
To celebrate the chances we don’t take
Someone come and tell me what it’s all about
Where would we be without our doubts?
It takes a little violence
For every seed to sprout

Flutters
02:59
|
|||
|
I see myself in a shape on a lake
A painted sailboat in a storm
I’m so unmoved by the raging of waters
But never quite reach the shore
Found something fumbling around in the static
A remnant made of ice
Fingers tracing the shape of a feather
As it flutters out of sight
Flutters out of sight
|

Begin Again
02:53
|
|||
|
There's a traveler riding crooked on my shoulder
And it knows that I don’t know its name
Wishing someone would just tell me when it's over
Something ventured and still nothing gained
Neon insects in an avalanche of wonder
Flash back to the feral days
Gilded armor and a jaw that tears asunder
Guide me to convert my rage
All that’s wiggling and fragile is my ally
Though a piece of it will soon be dead
Stillness is so very hard to come by
Wind me up in shiny sticky thread
Release your identity and liquify
Teach me to begin again

Silverfish
You are in my home
But I can’t tell you
When and where to roam
Silverfish
Your above my head
My eyes will trace
The paths you tread
May empathy
Replace my dread
And fear and shame
Be love instead
I don’t want to control anyone else
I just want to feel safe by myself
Good to see you're here to stay
We both made it through another day
Now we feel each other’s pain
Sharing shelter from the rain

Together
03:07
|
|||
|
Been living on the road
And dreaming when we can
No matter where we go
There’s somewhere safe to land
May the universe be kind
And so may time
Together is a state of mind
Been looking at the sea
Forgetting what we lack
Like every mystery
The water stares right back
May the universe be kind
And so may time
Together is a state of mind
In every incarnation
No matter how they end
We’ll always meet right here again
May the universe be kind
And so may time
Together is a state of mind

Return to the Sea
02:17
|
|||
|
It’s as though you don’t remember
You belong in her embrace
In humanity’s December
Retake your rightful place
Return to the sea
Monologue:
as all that is living must die
all that has been briefly dry
which emerged and then
in dreams and fantasies
pretended to be free
will return with relief
to merge with the water
and at last truly will be.
