Bellwether

Several lifetimes far ago
I’d overflow
And formed of parts of matter in time Collapsed the stars is the force I feel Through chlorophyll
The flora feels so divine
I paid no mind
A goodbye to begin
If you’re not gonna let me in
The technicolor sound
I hear through your eyes
I am falling farther into you
So strange how all the colors rearrange Into the pallet that painted you
All the days are just numbers on a page
While protecting my sanctity
My sanity
A canyon that’s eroding away
Down the alleys of my beliefs
A torrent sweeps
And carves its route around what I hide
I gave it time
A hello for an end
If you’re not gonna let me in...
Into your dreamcatcher eyes
All our timing's so rare
When your bellwether rang
I was already there
Where the waves all break and we explode into foam
All the while when I caught your smile
Through the telephone
We were both in disguise of who we wanted to be
A clever bouquet of lies
Didn't matter to me
We were both in disguise of who we wanted to see
A clever brocade of lies
Didn't matter to me

I Wouldn't Recognize Me
04:21

Lie, be kind
To yourself
Why be unkind
to someone else
You are no one else
Baby you wouldn’t recognize me
You wouldn’t recognize me
I wouldn’t recognize me, little girl
Lines outside
On the fence
Fight if you're right
And you're set
To win over it
All in all is falling upon us
Are you ready
I'm ready
Are you ready
So ready
Are you ready
For anything
Are you ready
For me, for me
To be, to be

Baby Green
03:39

I'm not a light, I'm on fire
But for the the long run
I'd be a star, or among
But for the sun
Slightly between antitheses
There is a gold zone
I'm not the sum of my means
Or my needs
Pissin off the overpass
Trying to be seen
I've arrived, I'm baby green
On the welfare of my dreams
Dreaming's overrated
Rubbing out your wheels Reach around in your ideals
Givin sounds to all your feelings
The love below it
The ugly above it
And all that comes with I’m never lonely
that beautiful undead
Is at my doorstep
Should both of us on a bus
Into the wrong lane
To I suppose the beyond
Should succumb
If we by fire do expire
Sing me an old one
Sing me alive, take me out
Tonight
I'm not always nasty
But thinking makes me mean
Makes me make more of small things
I'm a mountain, not a queen
But when I'm gone you'll miss me
Singin in your ears
Promise now you'll make it weird
And fill a cup with me my deers

There is a road
No one could cross after the ocean rose
Here lies a path
So overgrown I heard the forest laugh
All the respite I plunder
My thoughts employ
All the concepts
No wonder I can’t enjoy
No sleight of mind
No peace reminds me
Of another time
The salty street
Where our lowness and your highness meet
Inside a vice
The pressure's rising and it's making diamonds
In the rough for all the world to shine
Songs arise
Come the Summer
Sing to bind
Wake from slumber
Round the sun
Wake and welcome
Mending, mourning
Joyful noise there is a road

Lilacs
04:01

I love all the lilacs they swirl in sets of three and
I love oleander it's such a sleepy tea and
I love all the hemlock it sets me straight to dreaming
Pony up it don't seem evil to me
Call me when you're feeling free
Mirror mirror mirror
Show me mine and I’ll show you yours
Mirror mirror mirror
Show me the lie, show me your worst
It's ridiculous that it's so nefarious now and just
If I was to sip and to slip myself upside-down
And especially if I ain't steppin on no bounds
No one but myself, my ego and me
Gimme one or three more weeks
I love all the lilacs they swirl in sets of three
I love oleander it's such a sleepy tea and
I love all the hemlock it sets me straight to dreamin
I love all the sumacs they see me through the stream and on and
I love all the nightshades they stop from my screaming on and
I love undertakers they drag me down to see them on and (3x)
I love all the lilacs they swirl in sets of three
I love oleander it's such a sleepy tea and
I love all the hemlock it sets me straight to dreamin
I love all the sumacs they see me through the stream and on and
I love all the hemlock it sets me straight to dreamin
I love all the sumacs they see me through the stream and on and
To try a bite
Two cheers to life

The Lion Or The Bear
04:46

Where do we go to come back through
Mary leave a light to come back to
Before you cut the loss, the lichen, or the moss
The more you take away
The lesson I will lose
Mother mary mare, this time I lose
The channels we found
The sighting and the sound
Mother mary mare, this time around
When you make a noise
Before you lift your voice
Mary make a wail you can enjoy
Before you make aware the lion or the bear
When you make a noise
Before you lift your voice
Mary make a wail you can enjoy

Six-Pointed Star
04:25

With or without
My sky
Your grey green green eyes
Talk amongst the tide
Whether or not
My love
Open up my eyes
Until the parallel
Caught me by surprise
6 pointed star
5 gathered minds
4 climbing vines
3 nested doves
2 grey white wings
1 dark red eye
Slow up to grow
Grow old
When do I know I know
The ways that I go slow
Give up the ground
Gift of the ground
Be found
Wait what am I now?
I’m in a rabbit run
On until I'm done
1 pale blue eye
2 leather gloves
3 dying lights
4 painted signs
5 guilded lions
6 pointed stars
Someplace, some peace
Soaring, sublime
Lying next to mine
Thousand first times

Golden Broken Record

Right or wrong
Will you know what side you're on
When it's gone
Low or high
The canary in the mine
Says it's time
Ain't much time
Maybe it's cause we've been learning
From records long broken
Maybe cause the earth is turning
When it's spurned
Like a worm
I am guessing there are guesses
Just cause I come from Texas
Column A and Column B and
Calling all the alphabet
We know loving when we see it
We don't always believe it
Let our old love, lover lead us
To the new way she is leaning
Maybe it's the winds of change
Invite me to follow
Maybe I don't feel in danger
When it is what it is
From the day they introduced me
To the night when they lose me
I'll be burning, eating, running
On whatever, all-consuming
Oh and when it is digested
To the wasteland rejected
All that's left is just a message
On a golden broken record
Maybe it's cause we've been learning
From records long broken
Maybe cause the earth is turning
When it's spurned
Like a worm
Maybe it's the nascent changing
Invites me to follow
Maybe it don't feel like danger
When it is what it is
But it is

Up I Presume
04:25
|

I’m lost untied and lazy
All the loose threads in a loom
I’ve been thinking of you lately
How I’ve made you up I presume
You lead me where I wanted you to
Down the hallway and into your room
I live inside a lullaby
Where I always wait to consume
I want you all
But I end it too soon
The sighs coincide with maybes to
Transpire a delicate bloom
Soon what thrives will wilt and someday
What remains is left to exhume
You lead me where I wanted you to
Down the hallway I love to be led
I live inside a lullaby
Think i’ve made you up in my head
I want you all
I want to fall
I want it all
I want the fair and the false

Bowl

I wouldn't be so clean
That part of me you've seen
We roll across the leaves
And everywhere we been
If you move on I'll know
The part of me that showed
You want me to believe
I wanted to believe
