Both Ways
02:29
|
|||
the light is a point and a wave
the universe wants it both ways
I don't want to be social mediocre
I'm cooking up a sedative
checking my messages
I want to feel good connection
let's hope we can handle it
what's left when we're left to our own devices?
Be like the water
you are her daughter
keep it moving
flow over
Be like the water
son of father
keep it moving
flow over
Choose shiva or your biases
god forbid you're in the crevices
show your love with a sacrifice
Oh no, not another martyr
what could you conquer?
keep it moving
flow over
Be like the water
you are her daughter
keep it moving
flow over

Bad Luck
03:39
|

what a powerful death drive
no matter what I do
I survive
all my karma killing moods
bad luck
no matter what I do
like you
I have been made so
awestruck
tongue-tied
why oh why?
won't this god be satisfied?
call it what you will its part of going through it
the wheel of dharma hits the road
it's my death drive
no matter what I do
I survive
all my karma killing moods
bad luck
no matter what I do
like you
I have been made by my mistakes
Loose me from this ball and chain
shackles shaken they have no hold on me
I'll crawl out on my hands and knees
what a powerful death drive
no matter what I do
I survive all my karma killing moods
bad luck
no matter what I do
like you
I have been made by my mistakes

Joan of Arc
02:58
|
|||
maybe in the next world
I'll get to lose the blindfold
in the dawn of the exodus
you're the hero, are you convinced?
that you're not just some sparkle in the wissahickon shist?
deep down in the confluence
everybody dies
a little at a time
no body can deny
that everybody lies until they're satisfied
let go of the broken parts
baby, maybe you're a leader just like joan of arc
martyr stop you're cutting in line
wait your turn, it's coming alright
everybody dies
just a little at a time
maybe in the next life
I'll start with a sharper knife
until then I'm living through it

Freehearted
03:41
|
|||
how many times has the world burned down?
how many more?
how many deep dark places can we keep ignorning?
freehearted
turn and face me
what does it mean to say that you will live freehearted?
am I the wood and you're the fire that is burning?
the camera blurs
and I miss my shot
I missed the moment

Dive in the Water
02:45
|
|||
to remember
you need your imagination
two components
forget your hearts hesitation
move on
don't be scared of your liberation
though it may mean
the crown or the crucifixion
dive in the water
I've found a new paradigm
dive in a changing tide
free of the fear ridden mind
you pretender
all wrapped up in imagination
at the center
clever devil who would never
get over the surrender to the modern structure
for worse or better
dive in the water
I've found a new paradigm
dive in a changing tide
free of the fear ridden mind

Veils
04:08
|
|||
I want blood
in the tips of my toes turning around
to feel the cool earth
beneath my home
I need the right words in the back of my throat
starry-eyed
how could I be so blind?
as if...
as if you're released
as if you cast the net and pulled in something to eat
as if its obvious like a sigh on a plane at the beach
as if you turned the net and gave it back to the sea
as if I am releasing anything

Alive & Allowed
03:35
|
|||
a calm so physical
in the dawn of something mythical
a so very needed shift in believing
somewhere in the distance
ego disappearing
pioneers with no frontier
I'm alive and allowed to feel this way
heliopause
a boundary crossed
a so very needed shift in believing
somewhere in the distance
ego disappearing
pioneers with no frontier
I'm alive and allowed to feel this way
somewhere in the distance
ego disappearing
pineal vision of it all
I'm alive and allowed to be this way

Naval Gazer
03:15
|
|||
will I find something navel gazing?
am I living medicine?
something incandescent
where the heart connects
to the ghost in me that I serve
glowing gold in the center
illuminated semper
sutra embers
like a meteor from within
like a breath going out and going in
to take with you through the day
where the heart connects to the ghost
what would it take?
what would I do?
how can i speak?
who can I turn to?
what would it take to disregard this?
what would I do to turn it off?
how can I speak the truth from my heart?
how can I cause a virtuous spark?

Enemies
03:29
|
|||
enemies
they need love
so pull the plug
let it drain
from your heart
open up
needed a moment
to gather my kindness
test of my benevolence
go and put me on my heels again
I had such good intentions
yeah, you could give solace
even better than a witness

As in a Dream
02:36
|
|||
universal moment
breaking up the stars
all that magnetic love
aware through it all
we are fallen star dust
knowledge that is never enough for some
as in a dream
I can't reach you in your childhood memory
I want to wake you and tell you you're a star and you're shimmering
going to wake you from the gravity of the silent film of your memory
black and white
come back to real life
we are fallen star dust
knowledge that is never enough for some
as in a dream

Can't Believe
04:46
|
|||
I want to catch your fall
you and me alone
love is just a word
let me show you
aversion and desire
have been gated by design
they want to keep you safe and warm
and they have taught you how to hide
I can't believe in love
am I worthy?
I can't believe in luck
it's unearthly
we are the same
we are one
there's no reason to be numb
seeing it all above
we are merging
I can't believe it all
it's unearthly
can I believe in love?
am I worthy?
can I believe in luck?
it's unearthly
I see you laughing in the flowers
I hear you singing to the sun
through the chorus of the dawn
we are the same
we are one

If Only
03:24
|
|||
where the conversation tends
oruborus shedding skin
I am in a limbic trance again
I know it will end, but I don't know when
what are you numb?
what do you know?
"if only I..."
has become my favorite pastime
liberate me from the past
it's all anyone can ask for
indivisible with liberty and justice for who?
hasn't been for me
has it been for you?
what are you numb?
what do you know?
"if only I..."
has become my favorite pastime
liberate me from the past
it's all anyone can ask for
help me from the trance
lift me from the trance
"if only I..."
if only mind
has become my favorite pastime
