Mountains and Dust
06:18
|

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

|

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.

A Place Beyond Forever
02:57
|

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.

Never to Touch
06:29
|

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
