Static
03:47
|

|
Sometimes I can't hear my mind through the static noise in my ears
Sometimes it flows and my mind opens up
Sometimes a little too wide and I over fill my cup
Sometimes I keep it closed for too long and it gets cold
Sometimes I pretend I'm not getting old
But it's alright and it's OK cause we're in this together
And it's gonna be alright in the end

Turbulent Journey
06:07

I'm coming home from a turbulent journey,
(I've) Been trapped in a field full of sheep trying to herd me
No one got hurt, except I lost my mother
And some black magick possessed my brother
Karma, Pharma, Cancer, Drama
Hippie-crits sucking off the dalai lama
I tried real hard to make some sense of it,
Convinced myself it was my cosmic punishment
But what did I do? It didn't even matter...
Nothing was louder than my own mind chatter,
Nothing you could say that could change my mind
I was blaming myself and wasting our time
See I didn't know better and I felt so small -
How the fuck do you think you would take that call?
They said "Your mothers gonna die and there is nothing you can do - now drop everything you're doing 'cause we really need you"
"And don't even think about speaking your mind, don't even think about trying to find anything other than what we've got planned for her"
"Find your own place to stay - Find your own way... But you better come over every day! actually better yet, you should stay away!"
In the final moments of my mothers life I was holding her hand
Singing her let it be
Singing her to sleep
Just like she'd done for me
When I was her baby

Once Upon A Past Life
06:16
|

|
Once upon a past life I was waiting for your boat
Living by the seashore with a heart full of hope
No one ever came to let me know that you're alright
No one ever let me know my love had reached the light
So I waited and I waited and I waited until I died
Then I got born again - Still waiting inside
I'm in a different body now, I'm hard to recognize
But I knew when I saw you, I got reminded by your eyes
That you were the soul I was waiting for
And I was your wife crying at the shore
She spent her life scanning horizons
Never letting go never tying up her loose ends
Now she gets her closure in the form of you and I
Fiona and her Captain they can take to the sky
(In a boat or a plane or a rocket or a bubble, now they're together they got no trouble)
Once upon a past life

Remain You
04:44
|
|||
|
As good as each other or as good as it gets
It keeps getting better - It keeps taking steps
Find me the answers, keep me on my quest
Stay true, Remain you
I am the fire but I'm also the coal
I'm in the distance - Still deep in my soul
I am the question and the answer as well
I am the notion and the motion as well
Speak love, Sing love and give your love out
Dance in the love with a twist and a shout
Shake through the fear, shake the shame in your mind
And keep on adventuring until you find love
But stay true
Remain you
Don't lose your purpose

Subconscious Ghost
09:19
|
|||
|
Deep inside your subconscious mind
There are seeds that you will never find
And they will grow into trees before your eyes
Until everything you see is trees - only trees
And they will flower with beams of people you know
They will rise again to show
Show you powers that you have never known
Until it is your turn to return to where you belong
As trees, as those trees
From the seed you planted long ago
With your subconsciousness
There's a ghost in the room
I hope he's friendly
There's nothing to be afraid of
You are a ghost too
We are only trees pretending to be animals
We are only trees - and I am a ghost

Is It Symbolic
07:03
|
|||
|
You gallop towards me, then you gallop away
Do you eat weeds or do you eat hay?
I try to feed you - but you scare so easy
Why do you tease me like that?
Is it symbolic or are you an animal?
do you think you could love me as easy as I do you?
They're all in their paddocks
They're all staring at me
They seem so interested, what do they see?
Can they hear me, do they understand
If I spoke their language then we could start a band
And we'd sing of the road and the strangers with machines
We'd sing of our thoughts and we'd sing of our dreams
Is it symbolic or are you an animal?
Do you think you could love me as easy I do you?
All of these fences, they're all made of wire
Some of them personal, some built by the shire
All of them work well though at keeping you safe
They keep you contained, keep you here in this place
It's better than factories - better than cages
You're better off here cause you are free rangers
Is it symbolic or are you an animal?
Do you think you could love me as easy I do you?
