The Well of Dreams
02:00
|
|||
|
Somewhere behind my smile
The well of dreams
Draws me up on high
To the land of cream
Seeming
Dreaming
I'm rising
Teach me, teach me
Something behind your smile
Is glittering
Like deep inside
You're a radiant being
Being you're like me
We're touching
Teach me, Touch me
Feels like this whole body
Is just scaffolding
Might have had it's place
Now it's crumbling

The Pistachio Tree
03:13
|
|||
|
I was acting like a sponge
For phobias and recurrent deprestion
I left town with all your things
But took a break beneath
Cracked right open with an epiphany
I buried it all right there with the nuts and leaves
Buried it beneath the pistachio tree

Donut delivery
Hot and fresh from the bakery
Donut delivery
Six for you, half dozen for me
Strawberry glaze, birthday cake
These extra sprinkles got me feeling great
The filling is fluff, the pastries are puffed
Donut delivery
Hot and fresh from the bakery
Donut delivery
Six for you, half dozen for me
Boston cream or blueberry crumble
Now my taste buds are ready to rumble
Apple fritters and cinnamon buns
All in the family, all end up in my tum
Donuts all day long
Don't tell me my love is wrong
Donut delivery
Hot and fresh from the bakery
Donut delivery
Six for you, half dozen for me

A Dozen Roses
03:38
|
|||
|
This rose is for protection
This one's for the door
One hanging on each wall
Another on the floor
Golden rose in my hand
Dripping with sap
Two more stand before me
Teach me how to act
So that everything keeps coming up
So that everything keeps coming up
Now that everything is coming up
Row by row, taking care of itself
Yellow rose with your face in it
Dissolves at a touch
Red rose in my back pocket
Just in case I fall in love
Stems growing down into the real earth
Seven miles below this earth
I'm tending to my self worth
Healing over thorns in my palm
So that everything keeps coming up
So that everything keeps coming up
Now that everything is coming up
Row by row, taking care of itself
So that everything keeps coming up
So that everything keeps coming up
Now that everything is coming up
Row by row, taking care of itself
I'm gonna be fine

Passers-By
03:55
|
|||
|
You have read the face of the sky
And the earth but have not recognized
I have cast fire on the world
Standing guard until it burns
Hide some yeast inside the dough
Grow it into loaves
Seek and you will find
Become Passers-by
Heaven will pass away
The one above it will pass away
The dead are not alive
The living will never die
Hide some yeast inside the dough
Grow it into loaves
Seek and you will find
Become Passers-by
Seek and you will find
Become Passers-by

Reckless Abandon
02:40
|
|||
|
Hapless, helpless
The price that we pay
To witness your wit
Was worth it today
You wreck this, remake that
Just show us your way
With reckless abandon
We will obey

Patience (Lesson pt 1)
03:24
|
|||
|
I'm hanging out in the mirror
The mirror hanging in your room
Reflecting on what had become of the decade I had lost
Reflecting was about all I could do
Showing me the constellations
You point out nearly every star in the sky
And each is in the handle of the Big Dipper
And the light of each one reflected in your eyes
Show me how to tread water
Then teach me to drive in the parking lot
With patience and gentle constant lessons as my guide
I'll learn to trust the reflexes I've got

The Final Preparation
02:01
|
|||
|
Every time I felt unloved
My broken heart left
A trail of shards
Now I'm all grown up
It's not enough
Puzzle's missing half
So I sent myself back in time
To find the bits that fit
The little kids I left behind
Little one, I'm you but old
This was not your fault
I'm here to take you home
Cause when we're all grown up
There's not enough
Puzzle's missing half
So I sent myself back in time
To find the bits that fit
The little kids I left behind
You will be our priority
In the future there's
A loving family
It's me and me and me and me...
Now we're all grown up
There can be enough
Sorry years have passed
Before I sent myself back in time
To find the bits that fit
The little kids I left behind

Captain of Starship All Day in Bed
The final frontier of dark matters
I have led the mission:
Boldly to explore a new life
There's gotta be something more
Thru emptiness I chart a course going full ahead
Without effecting your development
Captain of Starship All Day in Bed
The final frontier of dark matters
I have led the mission:
Boldly to explore a new life
There's gotta be something more

Pieces That Still Remain
01:30
|
|||
|
Right from the start
Dissolving into our constituent parts
So we can take heart
I don't bend, I wait
For life to break my way
At last the cracks are coming thru
Time to gather pieces that still have use
Just a thought
From being a bump on the log
That's due for the rot
I don't bend, I wait
For life to break my way
At last the cracks are coming thru
Time to gather pieces that still have use

Deep End
02:43
|
|||
|
The wave of the future
Rides the tide of the past
Currently calm but
The present won't last
Ship shape at shore
But on the lake, amidst the storm
Sink or swim
Toss me into the deep end
Long long ago
An ever-flowing fountain
Made an archipelago
From a range of mountains
The herds on the hills
Traded hooves for scales and gills
We dive in
Side by side, fin and fin
Sink or swim
Toss me into the deep end
We dive in
Side by side, fin and fin

Hourglass
02:17
|
|||
|
Hours of sand
Raining down across the land
In incremental measurements
Why is it so hard
To do what I love?
Can I flip it over again?
Knee deep in past tense
Feels like I've been working since
The Allegory of Good Government
Why is it so hard
To do what I love?
Can I flip it over again?

Talcum
02:31
|
|||
|
Who's been in here gnawing after dark?
It's the nibbling that's tearing us apart
So at the end of each day
We dust the floor in talcum
If we have any problems babe
This is how we trace and count them
Straining our ears right under the door
Waiting anxiously, at least now we'll be sure
Cause at the end of each day
We dust the floor in talcum
If we have any problems babe
This is how we trace and count them

OK 2 Give Up
03:22
|
|||
|
When it's right
You can let it last all night
When it's wrong
Still might drag you along
There's an art
To knowing when it gets too hard
It's ok to restart
It's alright
After some wasted time
To give up
It's enough to have tried
Heavy head
Pressures me to stay in bed
But it's my heart that says
"You don't have to play a part"
It's no crime
Knowing when you're in a bind
When you're not ok
That's a sign
It's alright
After some wasted time
To give up
It's enough to have tried
When the going gets tough
Well the though are going to have to get over themselves
Bumpy, rough ride
So get off
Catch your stride

Only the Glove
02:04
|
|||
|
It's been so long, I'm ready to rip
So why can't I even get a grip?
Filled up with a longing to be touched
I though I was ready for love
Ready for holding hands
But I was only the glove
The marks of the fist will linger
Until I learn how to extend these fingers
When did I get this callus?
I thought I was ready for love
Ready for holding hands
But I was only the glove

Either Foot
01:30

The sky spun round at some fixed point
Scattering out until it conjoined
Either / or
Both / and
The end of the road looped over again
The wish I wish on every star
The answer to my prayer
Ends with a question mark
If life's a pond, my heart's the stone
Tiny galaxies rippled on their own
The sun stood still
The moon stayed put
The shoe fit well on either foot
The wish I wish on every star
The answer to my prayer
Ends with a question mark

Roots (Lesson Pt 2)
01:26
|

This poor institution
In unceasing demise
Where tiny bits of the Truth were sown
And still dormant inside
Thru pure intuition
Each returned where it derived
Despite these secrets being grown
The roots will survive
