So I built what I could
Out of water and wood
My celestial white
Like you told me I should
Water becomes a kind of light
Forty the days the same the nights
Rivers they run dry all the time
Maybe we will know peace
Maybe nothing at all
If we shall be released
This has all been my fault
Rivers were made to wade across
I paid the fare and wandered off
Down with the beasts of earth we're lost
All I want to do is ride alone along the California seacoast with you
I will not know anybody else
Two by two by two by
You don't think I love you but I do
Hills are nothing to me
They just roll underneath
Time is nothing to me
Je' t'adore allons-y
If they could sing the water song
Urging the river birds along
One of the two of us is wrong
All I want to do is ride alone along the California seacoast with you
I will not know anybody else
Two by two by two by
You don't think I love you but
You don't think I love you but
I do
Water becomes a kind of light
Forty the days the same the nights
Rivers they run dry all the time
Rivers were made to wade across
I paid the fare and wandered off
Down with the beasts of earth we're lost

Free As a Fisherman
03:21

The world changed face
Soon as I came of age
Look what it did to mine
Painted it with the time
What I wouldn't give to be
Free as a fisherman floating upstream
Nothing up ahead of me
Free as a fisherman floating upstream
I know, I've tried
I cannot enjoy this ride
Swimming against the tide
But will I be
Any stronger once the water
Starts working with me?
By then will I be
In one piece?
Still in one piece?
What I wouldn't give to be
Free as a fisherman floating upstream
Nothing up ahead of me
Free as a fisherman floating upstream
What I wouldn't give to be
Free

Out for July
03:35

Can you reach your arms out to me?
I've grown heavy
Tell me can you still hold me?
Can you carry me over to safety?
Could you hear me screaming all night?
Out for July
I've been longing for the sunlight
She reminds me of what I look like
Where I should put all my time
Reminds me of my own light
My own life
Can you carry me over to safety?
Close up behind me
Don't let me leave
When they come for me
Can you still hold me?
Can you carry me over to safety?
Close up behind me
Don't let me leave

Red Weather
02:45

Put the winter clothes away
Hope for a temperature change
Do you remember red weather?
Tied and tethered, underwater forever
Watch the dust fall from my brain
My rooms a mess anyway
Do you remember red weather?
Tied and tethered, underwater forever
I wouldn't bank on a sunny day not with you far away not around here anyway not around here anyway
Do you remember red weather?
Tied and tethered, underwater forever

The Optimist

Let me help you
Step out of your skin
Found the only way from the outside in
If I can get in
You can get out if I can get in
If I can get in
You can get out if I can get in
The roots set down deep and stood up tall
Knock the fences down they kept them small
Now they're overgrown, you've lost all control
Now they're overgrown, you've lost all control
Pick it up where you leave it
Fall and place and repeat it
Ride the day into the night and back to the light
Maybe all that we needed was a change of the seasons
Time to make it all right, make it all right
Time to let the heat in
Time for proper weeding
See
It's not that deep
Time to catch your breathing
Time to regain feeling
See if you look differently it's smaller than it seems

The Spotlight
02:33

You were made for the spotlight
Who wasn't made for the spotlight?
Lifting you up to let you fall
Is there even a spotlight?
Looking more like a phone light
Forever shining on us all
So we can bow to the ones up ahead
Up above, behind the scenes, and in your head
Who was there for the spotlight?
The invention of the spotlight
Back when the world could handle one
Ask me, "do you want the spotlight?"
I wouldn't reject the spotlight
That goes for almost everyone
And who's the one you wished would see you there?
Would they notice you now?
Would they care?
Did you forget who you wanted to be?
Humility is not the way you get on TV

Pretty Blue
02:38
|

|
I am of an age wide open
I am of an age yet to be defined
I am living in a novel
It is only written in my mind
I know I need a new progression
Tired of it all sounding the same
I'm dying for a new direction
Dying for a chance to blow out
Wait
Try to sit in the middle and always get pushed to the side
Just like when I was little discovering that I would die
I would die
Feeling pretty blue so I go outside
Every night when it feels like
Everyone is done in by the pain
I've gotta stroll out past midnight
Gotta stroll out alone again to try to stop a star from burning
Try to swim myself to outer space and time
You can call or belittle or praise or explain the mistake
We keep looking for answers inside so they all sound the same
Wake up wake up I wish that I could you know
Wake up wake up I could if I would
No more wasting time
Wake up wake up I wish that I could you know
Wake up wake up I could if I would
No more wasting time

Human Love
04:46
|

Contained and looking up
We know by now it's not enough
Always an expiration
Inherent limitations of
Human love
What if we never wanted?
Well-intentioned devotion
Recycling emotions round and round
And round and round
Waiting to slip away
Out down the fire escape from
Human love
What if we never wanted?
Only needed?
Without wondering why we knew how to survive
What if we never wanted?
Only needed?
Without thinking twice we were satisfied
What if we?
Can we find a new kind we can live by?
We can live inside
All at once justified, forgiven blind
All at once made divine
Ever bonded
What more could we have wanted?
Human Love
What more could we have wanted?
