Rainy Sunday 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Melancholy stupified and doped up on a real long night of parties Sunday when the sky becomes a misty cloud of doubt and soggy feelings Why's it always Sunday, it's rainy, cold and gray Never is a Sunday cheery as it sounds Colorblind our love has died I walk with you to pass the time but nothing, About you inspires me like the world map on my wall Or my guidebook 'Specially on a Sunday, when Iowa seems so small I hide the sides of me that wouldn't please you so at least you get a little, A little peace of mind 'Bout your investment So you don't worry, 'bout how I spent my time Tired and hopeless you try to recommence some kind of progress But today is Sunday, you're bound to waste your time And you know tomorrow's back to the old grind Yes, back to the old grind

Seattle Bound 04:01
lyrics

When I Followed you into the sky My whole landscape caught on fire And it burned my eyes So when you call me With all your little lies I'll be standin there Without a single tear In my eye Keep This love You have For her Sacred Don't fall Into me Keep This love you have For them Separate From me What do i do what do i do Can't stop thinking of you And how i go my own way When there's your scent to follow But what do i do what can i do Because you're not here What do i do what do i do Can't stop thinking of you How do i breathe for another day When you're so far away But what do i do what can i do Because you're not here I'm comin to Seattle I'm comin to Seattle And I don't want nobody to follow You left me for Seattle I left you to Seattle To get lost in the fog and the rain Don't lose yourself in the hurt and the pain What do i do what do i do Can't stop thinking of you How do i breathe for another day When you're so far away But what do i do what can i do Because you're not here I'm comin to Seattle I'm comin to Seattle Don't want nobody to follow You left me for seattle I left you to seattle To get lost in the fog and the rain Don't lose yourself in the hurt and the pain

Push/Pull 07:39
lyrics

Raze the trees Day is done Seeds are sown Make us pray Lead us out of the dark Lead us so we may walk Lead us out of the dark Lead us so we may walk We will follow the sun We will follow the sun We will follow the sun We will follow the sun Run, man, run Before you run out Ain't no game, no time for fun now How you have come this far you don't know Just keep swimming, fighting, breathing In Out In Out In Stars shine bright but I don't know why Beasts they bite and die on my knife Kill or be killed I've heard since birth there's Never enough I'll lose if I don't Push Pull Push Pull Waiting for A change to bring me Something more Than agony The way your eyes look In the morning And all of the faces To pour myself into Nothing changes My draw into you The way your eyes look In the morning Just breathe

Vessel 04:43
lyrics
buy track
She walks in And the rooms skips a beat The way her hips shake, it's poetry in her wake You don't have to be her lover to know that she's got secret power She's a painting In motion A vessel of emotion A tranquil explosion Of righteousness and devotion Her sacrilege is beautiful Could only come from God Her body let's you know That there's still good in this world The way she moves is an art form That enraptures this entire space Her eyes are an animal's Reminding us that we all come from the same place Ah... When I think back to the day She taught me to pray Without words She spoke this one line and opened my mind My face is the same, but inside I changed "Insight to this delusion and a fight against illusions, that is love" But no matter how many times I try The hurt still finds a place and a time So she forgave me And I sing Ah...(She forgave me) Her ferocious tenderness Will lash out at ignorance And in it's wake: A thousand burning colors of faith She'll beat down your religion Therein renew your vision Build you an endless shrine Remind you that you are divine Insight to this delusion and a fight against illusions, that is her love To change the world I must first change mine To change the world I must first change mine It's in my expanding heart that it all starts It's in my expanding heart that it all starts It's in my expanding heart that it all starts It's in my expanding heart that it all starts

Thunderous Moon 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Leaves catch as buttons hatch Wind beneath the apple teeth Fly homeward little love bird Let tensions fly, floating geraniums Marzipan lambs, almond butter hams Muffin can't quite make it back Fight the fruits rippling forth freedom Rushing brushes luscious much Focus my telescope on the eyes My eyes peacocked to learn Precisely zigzag leather feather bag Intelligence sparkles transparent tip toes Habitual redundancy, quit your knees The plane of my bagel is history Thunderous moon under this peak It's the song of the bubble keeper

Salt + Snow 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Cold winds come and go Reminding me Quietly Of what still lies below But now, when I look at my reflection, I see the passage of time, in every line in my face Breathing doesn't oxygenate my blood Like your eyes did when your soul was visible through them All that is left, is the pathway through my brain Leading to the shadow of your love, my pain Snowflakes fall With each step Sounds of earth Silenced now When the ice melts I'll forget Ooo I'll forget When the ice melts I'll forget Ooo I'll forget

Land Between Two Rivers 03:24
lyrics
buy track
I beat my drum My heart hums, the wild beasts to come I see their eyes A savage cry escapes my body and I Head my feet back for home These legs to carry me back home 'Cause My heart is buried in the deep black soil of the prairie grass My eyes are fixed on that horizon infinite imaginary My soul is born of the lightning striking And i will close my life in the silence of the deep snow She spins a web A delicate work on which to string my words The morning dew Diamonds in time, that melt, they become you A feathered bird, my spoken word The land, the people, the roaming herds She beats her drum Her eyes burn, her story my faith to turn Step one-by-one I'm black and white, our colors, the butter she churns Give me strength my humblest queen In your love we become clean Take me back To the fields in my dreams My heart is buried in the deep black soil of the prairie grass My eyes are fixed on that horizon infinite imaginary My soul is born of the lightning striking And i will close my life in the silence of the deep snow

Let Go 03:13
lyrics

Seeing you every now and then Wondering why it's always such a sweet reunion 'Cause even when you're far away You're so close in spirit Smiling brightly looking at me Feels so good I can hardly see But I'm Letting you go Letting you go Seeing you every now and then Wondering what would have been 'Cause even when you're far away You're so close in spirit Feeling you for too long now Living free, I'm learning how And I'm letting you go Letting you go
