There is something weird
on your head
Sweet little anger
Sweet little sweat
The kids and dogs You see
running up and down
Who put a spell on the door?
They can't get out
And who are you
to point your fingers
And who are we
to leave it be
There is a woman
next to you next to me
She is high on power
high on heels
Her coat is made of
wool and grief
She is that oracle card
You don't want to meet
And who are you
to point your fingers
And who are we
to leave it be

Traveling
03:16

In my city the light is soft
I was planning on staying
till the news came rolling in
You held a biscuit in your right hand
I was almost crying
I said we are going traveling
In the reflection
of our borrowed life
I hear you ask all of the time
What are you doing, what are you saying?
How you do and how you say it?
Why you do and why you say it around here?
You've got a photograph next to your bed
We were dressed for dancing
I'll get my shoes and show you how
Then you'll be Mama and I'll be me
just a couple of minutes
Then you're off you've got no memories
In the reflection of our borrowed life
I hear them ask all of the time
What are you doing, what are you saying?
How you do and how you say it?
Why you do and why you say it around here?

As a Child

I can be more mainstream
if it works better for you
Comb my hair real nice, and
wear brand new shoes
You're looking good at the moment
You in your hormone rush
And later we can calm down
I know it's better for us
I know patience is hard
When life makes you numb
I like to see you smiling
I'll never judge you on the drug
I hope you never stop trying
You can be more you, if
it works better for the healing
It's not so much for the fun as
it is for the feeling
If you fall back then I will catch you
If you fall back then I will catch you
If you fall back I will catch you
If you fall back I will catch you
As a child
When life makes you numb
I like to see you smiling
I'll never judge you on the drug
I hope you never stop trying
You can be more you, if
it works better for the healing
It's not so much for the fun as
it is for the feeling

So you know it
no one owns it
it's all written down
Reading the feeling
dancing the meaning
Say it's just a board game
choose your colour wise
having fun with the apocalypse
Oh but the fiction
too much fiction
Careful with feeling
dancing the meaning
Aren't we spreading out
wings eternally?
And then way out of context
Both ends burning
being observant
Burning the feeling
dancing the meaning
And then morning came
by the root of the mountain
and we laughed in the ashes
And then morning came
by the foot of the mountain
and we laughed in the ashes

Where Will I Go
04:35
|

|
You're going back to your house to your man
Sometimes it feels like a treasure
Sometimes you feel damned
You're diving deep into memory and up goes the door
You stare into a strangers room
And eyes you've never seen before
And you did burn and you did float
And you stood hard as a stone
And you did sing with the thousand winds
Where did you go, where did you go?
Once I did see my grandma leave on time
Crossing the field beautiful young girl
Till she broke through as a baby child
And she did burn and she did float
And she stood hard as a stone
And she did sing with the thousand winds
Where did she go, where did she go?
And when will I burn when will I float?
When will I stand hard as a stone?
When will I sing with the thousand winds?
Where will I go, where will I go?

Going Back
04:52
|

Sitting in my corner of the sunshine
leaning my head against the wall
Gazing down the map of California
memories, energies, places I recall
Going back
Figured I was to small for big cities
then kind of fell in love with L.A.
The ocean, the colors, the people here it soothes me
A faint shimmering still got something to say
Going back
Jesse playing the saxophone all evening
telling me I'm the type who fits right in
Now don't you get me settled here I'm leaving
but San Diego's under my skin
Going back
Hoping I could bring back a little shelter
a community vibe to ease your soul
Why do you run so fast do you want to buy the whole world
You know money ain't the way to get gold
Going back
Sitting in my corner of the sunshine
leaning my head against the wall
Gazing down the map of California
Memories, energies, places I recall
Going back

Tension
03:43

Now a little light is floating in
Now a shadow
Footsteps in the hall you're entering
Or are you leaving?
Tension
We better hold on to that
We are softening on the edges and
Tension
We better hold on to that
You step forward I step back
Crossing over the bridge try not to fall
You're so courageous
I move slowly if I move at all
Damn you and the questions
Tension
We better hold on to that
We are softening on the edges and
Tension
We better hold on to that
You step forward I step back

Rescue Kit
03:25
|
|||
|
And then I opened the door
And then I saw you had faded some
Wearing a long-sleeved sweat
You cannot hide
This is a second chance
This is the turn of time
This is our rescue kit
It doesn't fit and it's all right
And then I wasted your time
Don't worry you said
We're good in the silence
There is a comfort in being sad
This is a second chance
This is the turn of time
This is our rescue kit
It doesn't fit and it's all right

Into the Woods
02:15
|

|
In the morning I sit
In the evening I run away
From the human skin
To the animal state within
In the morning you came
In the evening you left
For good
Into the woods

And the Sun Came Out
03:35
|

|
I am done
I'm leaving these lower states of mind
Our feathers cover the ground
We were both right
Let's not talk it over again
To this moment we are not bound
And the sun came out shining
And the shining went straight through
And the Love that used to be hiding
Is now shining from the middle of you
Have been told
There's no use in trying
Have been told not trying hard enough
Lay it down
Your weapons your convictions
It is time for a little trust
And the sun came out shining
And the shining went straight through
And the Love that used to be hiding
Is now shining from the middle of you
