Evolver
No one said it’d be easy
to burn all your wishes and dreams
while you count them by three
No one said it’d be easy
but why would you trust them
you know they are not what they seem
Get your house in order
Get your heart in order
Get your mind in order
You know that they’re not what they seem
There really is no way of knowing
where or when or how we’re going
live until we one day pass
decompose in dirt and grass
Flowers grow and start again
with no care for where they’ve been
they’ve no mind for selfish thought
never learning what we’re taught
Our eyes are unreliable
our feelings undeniable
we live and grow and subdivide
one evolving parasite
No one said it’d be easy
to burn your belongings
outside in a pile of leaves
Starting over is simple
learning to self realize
while you bury the lead
Get your house in order
Get your heart in order
Get your mind in order
You know they are not what they seem
There really is no way of knowing
where or when or how we’re going
live until we one day pass
decompose in dirt and grass
Flowers grow and start again
with no care for where they’ve been
they’ve no mind for selfish thought
never learning what we’re taught
Our eyes are unreliable
our feelings undeniable
we live and grow and subdivide
one evolving parasite

A Home For Birds
Tell me now or let me go
is there something i should know
checking more than vital signs
if we’re out of time when we subdivide
Now we’re busy building a home for birds
Now we’re busy building a home for birds
I’ve been bust building a home for birds
and I’m out of time
I’m out of time
Maybe we should disappear
become the shout that no one hears
(Imagined distance dimmed our light)
tell me now or let me go
what my heart already knows
don’t ignore the warning signs
we’ve run out of time
idle in out minds
Now we’re busy building a home for birds
Now we’re busy building a home for birds
I’ve been bust building a home for birds
and I’m out of time
I’m out of time
And it hurts me to stay here

Anima
Love is all we’ve ever had to learn from
to learn about one another
and love is all we’ve ever had to guide us
towards the light from within
Love is all we’ve ever had to guide us
a fire in the night sky
unclench and lend me your wide open hand
and I will give you mine
no matter whats to come stay unified
and look each other in the eye
Free your soul.

Ignominy
Intergalactic Skeleton
buys a durian and immediately regrets
People are dying out here
and you’ve done nothing
Standing in line with your paper goods
put your soul down in a plastic metaphor
looking for time to give you back something
you can give to your kids and your dead mom and dad
People are dying out here
and you’ve done nothing
Sold his kids at ransom he’s a shitty dad
who are you to tell me I’ve done anything
why have you done everything wrong?
People are dying out here
and you’ve done nothing

Hydrangea
I’ll be home before too long
if you wait up you’ll get tired
shortly after I get off
a hung jury of a cinnamon trial
Hydrangea
Just a moment then I’m gone
never drop my bags at all
home is where you keep your heart
I read that on the bathroom wall
trying to find some peace of mind
in a loaded every day
miles and miles to keep behind
I’m just finding my own way
Hydrangea
I’ll be just an after thought
don’t waste your breath on me
what I’ve done can be undone
with just a little humanity

Joyful Heart
Never did I count the pavement squares
or notice different shades of gray
I only believed in the beautiful world of color I saw everyday
I’ve got a joyful heart
Monolithic creatures started pouring out of picture frames
I’ve never believed a word they say
it seems they’re planning for my early grave
Sermons happen on the corner
between people that will never speak
trading stones to carry over shoulder
they were thrown at the tired and weak
Ive got a joyful heart
but a worried mind
You can’t build a world of charisma
your carpenter has dirty hands
the answer’s in the heart of the people
divinity the master plan

Parallel Poison
Bury me with my eyes closed
I don’t want to see
The Method drip sweet honey down on me
I don’t want to hate anyone
I don’t want to hate myself
Bury me with my eyes closed
I don’t want to dream anymore
Bury me with my eyes closed
I don’t want to see
The Method drip sweet honey down on me
I don’t want to judge anyone
I don’t want to judge myself
I don’t want to see The Method drip sweet honey down on me
I don’t want to hate anyone
I don’t want to hate myself
I don’t want to hurt anyone
I don’t want to hurt myself
I don’t want to hate anyone
I don’t want to hate myself
I don’t want to judge anyone
I don’t want to judge myself
Pour sweet honey down
bury me with my eyes wide open
pour sweet honey down
Ive learned to see

Teetotal Tom
Teetotal Tom sang along
cleared his head but his thoughts went wrong
dug the line he’s living by and buried his head in the sand
Poor old betty’s sad at home again
More than love they were the best of friends
Teetotal tom he gave it all
away to the bible the bottle and the gun
and poor old betty’s sad home again
again
Teetotal Tom told a lie
buried the truth so he could survive
burned the line he’s living by and buried his head in the sand
Poor old betty’s sad at home again
More than love they were the best of friends
Teetotal tom he gave it all
away to the bible the bottle and the gun
and poor old betty’s sad home again
again
Why did momma tell me
you gotta love yourself
Why didn’t daddy tell me
before you love someone else

A Slow June
Water falling down in June
to wash the dirty ground beneath
our weary eyes and heavy heads
soon the sun will warm again
and I feel when I glow
what heaven might know
and I feel when I grow
The sun will come around again
Heavy eyes and weary heads
looking out towards the sky
to cleanse away our barren eyes
and I feel when I grow
what I feel when I glow
The sun will come around again
To wash away our weary eyes
remind us why we’re still alive
to give each other something better while we’re busy counting time
The sun will come around again
for tonight
I’ll enjoy the moonlight
