What are you made of? What are you made of? We cast from the same dust Into life we thrust Drift in the air Go anywhere. But if you bind it, You will find it You will find it Makes the mountains. Mountains and dust. What are you made of? What are you made of? What are you? On high seas Calm breeze Captain can it, can it be plain sailing? It can be flailing And if you flounder You better get grounded. But you better be grounded in more than just Mountains and Dust What are you made of? What are you made of? Show me Don’t blame the sun If there’s no sun. Don’t blame the rain if you’re overrun! But if you find it And you will find it ‘Cause you can find it You are SO much more than just Mountains and Dust. -- What are you made of? What are you? What are you? What are you?

Lucid Lie 06:12
Clarity never arrives We’re conducted by the arrow of time. Arrange and rearrange The sequence of life Lucid lie wide eyed. Lucid lie And catch yourself inside Sound and light Space and time. -- Clearly belong our minds Beyond the crystalline skies Beyond the clouds Essentially passers-by. Lucid lie and hide. Lucid lie And catch yourself inside Space and time Sound and light.

Nebula Nursery, Cradle to grave. Collapse ignite. Explode alight. Cloud forms a shroud to wrap, Your mobile’s a cosmic web. Celestial lulling, Galactic a-humming in your space head A blanket of stars for you. They are your family too. The dust that you shared Is life now prepared. Nebula Nursery, It’s a cradle to grave.

Don’t feel alone. Don’t feel. The universe is inside you, Let it lead the way. You are a child No less than the trees No less than the stars. May you find the place beyond forever.

We Were One 05:36
We were one Then we came to order To an understanding, of a reabsorbing. A spark, a form Impulses and reactions. Cannot be created. We are dissipated. Every touch leaves a mark, Every beating heart. Every bit that is in you Will re-join… Every bit that is in you Will re-join… There is no end. There is only reordering. We become infinite With those we love, With all we loved. Every bit that is in you Will re-join… Every bit that is in you Will re-join… -- Cannot be created. We are dissipated. Every spore, every tree, Every creature, dirt, drop and sea. Every bit that is in you Will re-join… Every bit that is in you Will re-join into… We were one. We were one. We were one. We were one. We were one. We were one. We were one. We are one. We’ll be one.

Tide Tide Tied But never to touch Never to touch Never Never alone Alone I am alone Alone in your shadow You can hold me And I could hold you Together it would be peace Like sleep You could hold me And I could hold you Like sleep Never Never alone Lonely If the world should go dark And there is no way of seeing Never to touch Guided though blinded If we should grow dark If we should fall apart Never to touch Never to know Never apart Never to know No! If our world should go dark You can stay but I’ll fall apart --- Please don’t hold me For I can’t hold you Together it would be pain to keep So please don’t hold me For I can’t hold you or keep I’ve been told but I’m yet to see There’s completeness inside of me Sometimes things fall apart and break So new ones can start and awake Things do go dark I’ve found Buried deep underground Pulled from the depths but still Never to grow Unfolds as its meant to be Loneliness lives outside of me If we should grow dark you can stay but I’ll fall apart There is only together or not Pull too deeply or get lost Ripped apart, tension releases Scatter me, I’m in pieces Never never never Alone in your shadow Never never never Alone in your shadow

River Deep 06:56
River deep Mountain high River deep Find my soul to keep To keep. Mountain high Why oh why Do you climb? Do you climb? Blackest velvet hope Blinding with your crackling deep Farthest, starkest peak Deafened white noise I leap. I leap. I leap. -- Caught in your undertow Hiding amongst the flow. Swept in your blizzard winds A blessed unknowing the harshness brings. A blessed unknowing the harshness brings. A blessed unknowing the harshness brings. A blessed unknowing. A blessed unknowing the harshness breathes.

See me rise. See me rise. See me rise. See me rise. I rise but the sun never sets I rise, contemplate, forget. I rise, the sun is low I rise. A rush of darkened undertow. And it never ends. No moon. No moon companion. Just dark meets light. Indigo skies. We rise the sun is low It casts a deep shadow We rise Take our step Will this be a mystery to regret? For it never ends. We stroll We stroll on the precipice. We stroll. We stroll. We stroll. Oh. Spin in. Spin. Spin. We rise the sun is low. We rise the sun is low. Skies clear as the dust settles. Can’t hide trapped, confined. Dust settles as we stride unsettled, Desolation and despair. Shadows nestle in the wrinkles of earth. We keep it over our shoulder But it never sets. We keep it and we never rest. No one to see it rise. No one to see the dusk settle. The sun is low but I rise! The sun is low but I rise!

Over and Out 03:32
And so now I hear it Over the light waves ‘Cause nothing is stronger Than a small hope on repeat It doesn’t let up So just keep on moving Let your people find you Light them up, you’re all complete Over and out Over and out Be light but is found Be inside the sound Over and out Over and out Be light but is found Be inside the sound -- It’s okay to be broken Don’t hide all the pieces ‘Cause scars and mess find tenderness Waiting in the wings Things may have been choppy Sometimes tales turn bittersweet But time is time never wasted Though time does not repeat Over and out Over and out Be light but is found Be inside the sound Over and out Over and out Be light but is found Be inside the sound
