Rainy Sunday
02:55
|
|||
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

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

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
|

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
|

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

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

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

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
