She's cutting her teeth on the floor
She can't even speak no more
So I told her next time we'd trip together
She's bleeding my life force dry
She don't even know or try
So I told her next time we'd live forever
But since that day, could you believe anything was more
Than an illustration or simply a metaphor?
Because I've been dying without it
I don't even know what it is
So excuse me while I ponder...
It's something unusual
And I'm incapable
Of harboring any emotion that truly encapsulates me
I believe that you are right
We're fighting the easy fight
But when it comes near me
I approach and fearlessly grab a big bite
But since that day, could you believe anything was more
Than an illustration or simply a metaphor?
Because I've been dying without it
I don't even know what it is
So excuse me while I ponder existence
So I've been throwing these darts out the window
In hopes one would hit you
And I know you've been throwing them
Out yours too to hit me
And balancing trajectories only seems to split seams
Trying on others for
Size but I know that yours
Fits me

Aloha
02:08
|

Split the space around me
Split my head, astound me
I'm the tree that no one hears
I'm the tree, ground me
Split my tongue, I hope not
Hit me at the sweet spot
I'm the person that no one sees
I'm the breeze, aloha
Time after time
I hear the rhythm
But no rhyme
And through the years
And every single day
It's more than I can take
I think I'm God
Clear the conscience in me
Clear the nonsense in me
I'm the stain that no one needs
I'm the sin, forgive me
Time after time
I hear the rhythm
But no rhyme
And through the years
And every single day
It's more than I can take
I think I'm God

Theft
02:43
|
|||
Thrown at me and caught again
What is real is now pretend
Always thinking it's the end, it's just begun
Try to stop but there's no use
What's your reason, what excuse?
Always looking for another life to use
Consume the plants 'cause
I'd like to see what's been holding onto me
Inhale the smoke while
She breathes into me
This is what I'd like to be
Storm gods live in pressure points
Tense my muscles, roll my joints
Keep my words of detriment away from space
I did not hear what you said
In right ear and out the left
Inter-dimensional theft
I have what I crave
Consume the plants 'cause
I'd like to see what's been holding onto me
Inhale the smoke while
She breathes into me
This is what I'd like to be
In my mind
Ab-originally defined
In my head
I am more alive than dead

Canvas

Painting over the canvas
I can't hardly stand this
It's out of control
Sedentary and dying
You're not even trying
I'm glad that you don't
Self talk, self determination
Wake up, look at what you're facing
Shine a light through the prism
Break out of this prison
It's all that I know
Hidden in the appliance
I listen to silence
I'm digging a hole
I put love in the ozone
I look like a bozo
I know what you know
When I, when I look inside you
I know, I know I'm not like you
You keep yelling the false words
You tell me you're not sure
You claim to be wrong
I dream it all the time
It's more than I can stand or justify
In the end we all fall down
But today the sun's in my eyes
I need it like I breathe
I throw it to the wind and chase the sea
I've been dead for so long
Today I'm hopelessly alive
Swimming under the ocean
I cause a commotion
I need you to know
I don't know what I was doing
Denying the movements
That speak to my soul
I dream it all the time
It's more than I can stand or justify
In the end we all fall down
But today the sun's in my eyes
I need it like I breathe
I throw it to the wind and chase the sea
I've been dead for so long
Today I'm hopelessly alive
If that's all she gave to you
Well then, what more can I do?
Believe everything is true?
I hope you enjoy the view

Smart
01:57
|

Poor you, why did you have to go?
For you, I wouldn't have to know
He only did it for you
The bottles in the basement
Lay me down
Why'd you go and make me sick?
Make me frown
Without guidance I'm lost in the dark
And what makes you so smart?

Way to Go
03:54
|
|||
So what became of me?
Are you the same as me?
'Cause that's no way to go
That's no way to go
Written in this book I wrote
That's no way to go
I read the tragedy
Now I'm just glad to see
Your love conceived in me
That touch, it bleeds through me
But that's no way to go
That's no way to go
Written in this book I wrote
That's no way to go

Give
04:30
|

Pills for certainty
Bless your heart
Nowhere to go, none to do
I might as well start
All that I have, all that I know is eroding
Follow your heart, follow your nose
You should know this
I'm sitting in the middle of the road
Pull me apart, all the way so you can see through
Show me a sign, enter my eyes, I can see you
I'm sitting in the middle of the road
Carcinogens in your throat
Did you not to what you're told?
So please take my life away
Please tell them all to stay
I said more than I should say
It's everything that I have ever hoped for
Because I have life to live
Because I have love to give
Because of the signs in the stars
I don't believe are true
I give it all to you
She's everything that I have ever hoped for
Because I have life to live
Because I have love to give
Because of the signs in the stars
I don't believe are true
I give it all to you

Poppy Fields

Someone told me that I'm ugly
Don't believe a word they say
You're the light under my pillow
I take out when skies are grey
Someone took me to the garden
Couldn't believe what was there
Before I decompose in the Earth
I just had to stop and stare
No matter what the world has to say
You'll find me forgiven anyway
No matter what the world has to say
You'll find me anyway

Into the Blue
03:12
|
|||
Caught you glaring at the light once
Conscious of Earth, conscious of you
Bleeding mostly from your right arm
Don't tell a lie, tell us the truth
Heard you screaming that you're okay
Hide from the sun, bark at the moon
I'm forgiven but I know now
Out of the black, into the blue
Caught you sleeping but I know now
Turn off the lights, turn into you
Sleeping softly through destruction
Toss in your bed, looking for food
I was living in a hotel
Key to your heart, key to your room
Caught you glaring at the light once
Out of the black, into the blue
You're mistaken but I know now
All that you are, all you can do
Couldn't breathe but now I'm okay
Out of my lungs, pass it to you
Love and death are not the same words
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
When I'm living on my death bed
Out of the black, into the blue

Well
03:45

Them and me
Swinging on the forest trees
I want to be
Along with you for everything
I told myself
I'd have to do this fucking well
I told you, too
About everything that I do
In the midst of it all
I walk, you run
I shiver at the sound of guns
I swim, you sink
Happiness is what you think
I fold, I melt
I reconfigure by myself
I told you, too
About everything that I do
In the midst of it all
I listen for the call
I stand up once I fall
This blueprint that I've drawn
In the midst of it all
I listen for the call
I stand up when I fall
This blueprint that I've drawn

Feng Shui

I daydream
'Cause life's a passing phase
And I hope
That maybe
These dreams will come alive
I hope
Give me some time to rest my soul
And take me home

Limbo
03:16
|
|||
I can feel it collapsing
At the verge of relapsing
I take and take 'til I don't even feel
Downward, I don't even know what's real
What does it mean to be human?
I guess I'll never know
Still alive, still alive
Still alive and breathing
What does it mean to be human?
I guess I'll never know
There's so much more to love out there
I swear, my God, there is

Waving
02:46
|
|||
The rope that's tied around my throat
The water I cannot swallow
The pills are being fed to me
I don't know what you're meant to be
But every word I speak
Comes from you and out through me
Laying on the grass
Waving like the sea
The potions that I mix for you
You're in love with the tricks I do
I much prefer your abstract art
I much prefer your abstract heart
'Cause everything I do
Starts with me and ends with you
Everything I know
I relearn until I grow
You be the waterfall and I'll be the rocks
You be the bicycle and I'll be the shocks
When we have gone too far
Then we'll learn to stop
So lend me your hand
'Cause every word I speak
Comes from you and out through me
Laying on the grass
Waving like the sea

Inhale the Sun
02:51
|
|||
I'm cool today so I say
Honestly, honestly
I can't be mad if nothing
Bothers me, bothers me
I look around to see what's
Guarding me, guarding me
You made a place for me that's
Hard to be, hard to be
From the ashes of a once forsaken man
I thank Heavens it was you that took my hand
Quite honestly, time follows me around here
And so I wait
Your eyes inhale the sun
And I am left with nothing
Your eyes inhale the sun
And so I wait
For you
It's more than I could do for you.
