birds eye
04:30
|
|||
this head is home
in a house of flesh and bone
in a twisting chromosome
i feel life waking up
i can see her face
i become her words today
i become the song she plays
i'm her rhythm marching on
somedays i'm blessed
somedays i'm a total mess
somedays i need to rest
somedays i need to fly
if i flew up above
would i see a panoramic love
would i see the beauty of
the sadness that is mine
giving up one thing
you get something in return
to see it from the birds eye
the birds eye, the birds eye
i wanted to fly but
i got a little bit too high
to see it from the birds eye
the birds eye, the birds eye and
come down
somedays i'm a map
somedays i'm a missing cat
i'm a deal then a stab in the back
i'm a knife you call a friend
somedays i'm a beach
i'm a wave completely free
other times a commodity
pillaged, wrapped and priced up
i'm the feeling that we're all gonna rise up
steer the ship to a colorful horizon
i'm a piece of glass
i'm a piece of ass
i'm a piece of work selling all my time
stocking up shelves and clocking in at 9
selling all my life just to buy some time, buy some time
dying just to live my life, live my life, live my life
breathing just to catch my breath
giving up one thing you
get something in return
to see it with a new eye
a new eye, a new eye and know why
i wanted to fly but
i got a little bit too high
to see if from the birds eye
the birds eye, the birds eye and
come down
i'd go underground but
i gotta little bit too down
i wanted to fly but
i got a little bit too high

savoring
03:30
|

come easily
let it encompass you
don't think too much
about what you have to do
it's just enough
the sound and silence between
it's been too long
since i let my guard down
it's just a story but
we need it fervently
it serves a purpose so
we don't have to worry
it's just some music but
to me it's everything
it seeks a cadence but
we ought to put it off to make it last a little longer and
savor every moment
leave when you wish
on a new transient
this is a way to
conquer boredom
expose yourself to
garner humility
make wholesome plans and
if they go wrong then so what they go wrong
it's just a story but
we need it fervently
it serves a purpose so
we don't have to worry
it's just some music but
to me it's everything
it seeks a cadence but
we ought to put it off to make it last a little longer and
savor every moment

eggshells
03:55
|
|||
so dependent on everyone else
not independent no
so connected by a red sentiment
not disconnected no
if it feels like walking on eggshells
it's because we are
to escape for more than one moment
into the temple oh
to return and speak of new wavelengths
don't be surprised when no one understands you
on mistakes i've made a few big ones
i'm sure you've made yours too
to interpret from a safe distance
it's hard to know the maxims of your pain
if it feels like walking on eggshells
it's because we are
way beyond emotions of
selfish love
selfless love brings us
way beyond

mind away
02:16
|
|||
i found a beauty in the mundane
it's in the sacred and the profane
hedonistic creatures, filling empty cores
enlightenment seekers, hungry to be pure
all kinds of people, people to adore
people to avoid, people to abhor
when we find boredom in reality
we find new freedoms in our fantasies
quiet as a missile, loud as a pearl
let the wind whistle, let the clock twirl
imitate or innovate, give your life a whirl
yell out all your secrets, whisper that your world is a
~~mind away~~
infatuation
for you i long
in short durations
then i'm moving on
to a new incarnation
old me is gone
in exaltation
then i'm moving on

wax cocoon
03:47
|
|||
holes in my head
where the world leaks in
flood me with your color
love me like a brother
travel down the road
rocky road, oh
moon, crescent moon
wax cocoon
metamorphosis
into a chrysalis
change me into what
i'm bound to become
travel just to rest
on your chest
lovely breast
moon, gibbous moon
wax cocoon

forever love
04:04
|
|||
us vs. them, foes and friends
we are
part of the panoply
beyond
intricate arguments
are short-lived
intimate tenderness
is the long gift
you and i, have our time
it is
shallow, deep, salty, sweet
existence
life is short, death is long
i'm humbled and
happy that
upon you i stumbled
you changed my life
changed something within me
if i left, if i died
would you miss me?
the way that i feel
i'll love you forever
it's never been clearer
so i'll say it louder
~~i'll love you forever~~

your garden
06:40
|

your garden
is a place i like to be
overflowing with a growing green abundancy
your garden
bears the fruit i like to taste
water the roots & harvest the loot
don't let the sunshine go to waste
be true to you
don't bullshit yourself
you don't deserve that
you're beautiful
in so many ways
i can't keep count
your garden
has it's share of pests and weeds
lead-laced lines and sulfur skies
will offer no relief
your garden
is the womb of the earth
watch the seeds give birth to trees
that feed the bees who feed the queen who makes honey
to feed the beasts and meet the needs of their bellies to
drop feces onto the dirt
cycles rebirth
new womb of earth
nurtures natures purse
this is the cash crop of the universe
be true to you
don't bullshit yourself
you don't deserve that
you're beautiful
in so many ways
i can't keep count
be true to you
don't bullshit yourself
you don't deserve that
go and have a laugh
go and tell your friends
how much you love them
they're beautiful
in so many ways
i can't keep count
it's overwhelming
they're all so lovely
they're all inspiring me
the gifts ya got
they can't be bought
don't let them rot
use them
your garden's ripe
so full of life
don't let it die
use them
life's an arc
so bend the bark and
leave your mark
behind
breathe the air
take your share and
leave your cares
behind

limits
03:09
|

limits are like a
misunderstood painter
they always draw themselves
limits always draw themselves
city limits
natures limits
loves limits
~limits always draw themselves~

little street
04:11
|

go leave your little street
go get out
go leave your little town
go with the clouds
go leave your little room
go outside
go leave your little mind
go get high
~just go~
go leave your little zone
go migrate
go leave your little world
go make mistakes
go leave your little thoughts
go beyond
go leave your little life
go fall in love
~just go~

pigeonholed
03:30
|
|||
slowly awakening
to the fragility
this life will take your bones and
leave you pigeonholed
i'm always wanting more
not sure i know what for
wish i could make it stop
someone would turn it off
what are you running from
what are you running at
what are you taking from
what are you giving back
i sense your holding back
why would you do that?
this life's a lovely dance
you only get one chance
no sense in sticking to
something that's pricking you
sing songs of love and death
beauty in every breath
what are you running from
what are you running at
what are you taking from
what are you giving back

do you remember?
03:01
|
|||
do you remember when you were a kid and
all the careless kid things that you did?
do you remember the skies so pure & blue
then growing up feeling confused?
do you remember when someone touched your skin and
you fell so deep in love with them?
do you remember the way you played the fool and
did the things you thought you'd never do?
i was a child with you
i was confused too
i was in love with you
i played the fool too

last page
03:21
|

wanna make this quick
wanna get my fix and
move on
it's like i've got some glue
underneath my shoes
i can't move
got someone to see
got someone to be
so hurry up
quit staring at the ceiling
watching layers peeling away
buckets catch the leaking rain
i made it to the last page
of a chapter in my life
forgot to pay my bills
forgot to take my pills
forgot my name
the way you play your chords
cut into my core
they make me smile
listen in your headphones
listen on your stereo
turn it up
when your down
staring at the ceiling
watching layers peeling away
buckets catch the leaking rain
i made it to the last page
of a chapter in my life
