Rain
It's raining
And that usual tone that divides has disappeared
Rain
Keeps raining
Your flood surrounds me brings me out of fear
And if I tried I could get my spirit clean, and my hope, would be one for my salvation.
But time and time my weak won't dance and sing, and my feet, are glued to what surrounds them.
Rain
It's raining
And your sacred choirs seem to be all I hear.

It's when I wanna cry
I'm in my mother's eyes
And it's when my ocean's dry
That I'd tell this thing goodbye
But I'm no one anymore, I lost my way here
I'm no one anymore, I lost my place see
I'm no one anymore, where is my virtue
I'm no one anymore
I can hear your lies
Will you just give me a try
Cause it's when my ocean's dry
That I'd tell you goodbye
But I'm no one anymore, I lost my way here
I'm no one anymore, I lost my place see
I'm no one anymore, where is my virtue
I'm no one anymore

Since the world's hand took a trip for you, you're numbers and glee but it's nothing new
Shadows and ash lie behind the smile, you're steadying cash with the alibi
Fools of the night dropping shiny things, light streaming from brown gleaming glassy eyes
Stand yourself straight fools upend this place, youth playing its tricks leaving shameless blind
Fix your wandering fun hear the sage from number one

Conversation with Soul
03:49

|
Spent conversation with soul
And in conversation with soul she comes to me
Hiding the keys to her lock
And putting up blocks in the road that's under my feet
Fit as a feather in June
A feather in June that knows no sympathy
Running me down with her charm
She's causing me harm playing liar on repeat
Take my wishes take my vision
They serve no purpose to me
Serendipity's sweet collision
Has frozen me under the knee
Always the middle of night
The middle of night when she's here and it's just me
Hanging right over my bed
She's staring me dead and I can't get her to leave
I spent conversation with soul
And in conversation with soul she comes to me
Hiding the keys to her lock
She keep putting up blocks in the road that's under my feet
Take my wishes take my vision
All that I've got you can keep
Serendipity's sweet collision
Has frozen me under the knee
An escape here would be my pleasure
Her face is all I can see
Wicked girl with soft expression
When will I ever be free?

A Heather Choir

Come upon a golden field
Heather grass brush willow shapes
Beauty sundown makes time freeze
Wild flowers all seem sheen
Welcome now to pearly gates
You've been in its mind all years
Now you're never in between
At long last here you can breathe

Bligh Water's Edge
05:02
|

|
There's something holds her fast to me her eyes pierce through my brain
She's floating over my days
No other girl has made me sink and take a look inside
The words all jump from the page when she's looking my way
We're going down to the waves hoping I see my baby
She fill my mind with the feeling it might be fate
We're drinking rona and Bligh hoping I see my baby
She fill my mind with the feeling I just can't shake
By the water's edge
By the water's edge
I'll tell you what she said
I've had her in my head
(x2)
Her look could freeze my feet it has me beat oh what great folly
You think she knows yet her strength
I paid no mind to other chicks until along came Holly
I could just sit here in grief thinking about what to say
We're going down to the waves hoping I see my baby
She fill my mind with the feeling it might be fate
We're drinking rona and Bligh hoping I see my baby
She fill my mind with the feeling I just can't shake
By the water's edge
By the water's edge
I'll tell you what she said
I've had her in my head
(x2)

Gray
All is gray
In my sorry space
Today
I have seen
I have heard you leave
And oh, are my garden gates
My garden gates closed down?
My head has hit the wall
And all that flows is pointed down
Take this heavy heap from me I cannot bear it now
Idleness surrounds me with its yellow snoring sound
(keep my mother with God)
White
Where is white?
Where is purpose and light?
Choice
There's no choice
I hear only your voice
And my insides churn and burn
They just cannot get well
The pleasure of the demons
Is a dark and lonely cell
Get me off this road I'm on it's headed for the void
I'm breaking at my core and my ears are sore from noise

Sides of Self (Revisit)
04:30
|

|
Someday I'll be floating
Somewhere
Outside of my house
And someday I'll be out of
This place
It's not my home
And someday my design
Will meet
Meet its match
Someday I'll quit holding
These things
Inside of my hands
And someday I'll take hiding
And make
Me a man
And someday I'll have rest
Inside
Inside of myself
And someday, my royal self
Will guide, guide my boat
And someday, my quiet assertion
Will make, make itself heard
