how do we stay alive?

how do we stay alive? tell me how do we stay alive?
it's these questions that swamp my mind
and i see that you are asking them too
so tell me how do we stay alive?
tell me your questions and you can ask me mine
tell me your questions and you can ask me mine
do they take form like a bank or bee line?
or do they lay quietly on a mossy grave?
tell me how do we stay alive?

i’ve dammed the water because i want this season to soak me
i’ve dammed the water because i want this season to soak me
life is lived in sections, one lock flowing into another
how do you hold that empty space? how do you hold that negative space?
the down time? the relief? the impressions? the etchings?
oh i’ve seen the life i love, i’ve seen the people
palms wide, full of sun
hands full, full of mud
when you move your growth is marked by pencil lines on the wall measuring children’s height
what happens in between? what happened in between
the spaces divided infinitely?
oh i’ve seen the life i love, i’ve seen the people
palms wide, full of sun
hands full, full of mud
our bodies tend to settle in the same ways
our bodies tend to settle in the same ways
try changing that
our words tend to settle in the same ways
our words tend to settle in the same ways
try changing that
oh i’ve seen the life i love, i’ve seen the people
palms wide, full of sun
hands full, full of mud
what happens in between, what happened in between, the spaces divided infinitely?

we’re one in the wind
it’s a crisp, clear, clean negative degree day
the winter reveals the starkness usually unseen
we’re drawn to the mysterious, north, earth element
as we are
INCREASING SENSITIVITY TO THE EARTH
let the symbols be symbols
that guide us through
let the symbols be symbols that guide us through
as we are
INCREASING SENSITIVITY TO THE EARTH

magnets push
and magnets pull
when will we reach equilibrium?
affinity, coercivity
this threshold depends on us
resistance, attraction, it's all the same
how can we so easily align when our trajectories have different spines?
you told me, you told me, you told me, you told me
this way always points north
affinity, coercivity
this threshold depends on us
resistance, attraction, it's all the same
how can we so easily align when our trajectories have different spines?
even the earth and moon are drawn to each other
ever circling,
not touching, not repelling
you told me, you told me, you told me, you told me
this way always points north
magnets push
and magnets pull
when will we reach equilibrium?

untrained i came from your hips, world
untamed, i came into your grips, world
now i lay at your feet, now i lay at your feet, now i lay at your feet
tangled in your hair, tangled in your hair, tangled in your hair, tangled in your hair
untrained, untamed, untrained, untamed, untrained, untamed, untrained, untamed,
i came into your hips, world
untrained, i came from your grips, world
untamed, i came from your hips, world
untrained, i came into your grips, world

who invited you?
02:56
|
|||
have you been asked to be here?
do you feel the pressure in your wrists,
the subtle walls you can't explain
not here not now not here not now
well i can only speak in sarcasm but my dear
i'm getting more direct, i'm getting more direct
who invited you, anyway?
who invited you, anyway?
who invited you, anyway?
who invited you, anyway?
ask permission to be here, please

take me down

take me down, further down
take me down, further down
take me down to the ground, take me down to the ground
let the dirt fall from my mouth
take me down to the ground
the swallows, the swallows, on the lake are my, my body, my body
the swallows, the swallows, on the lake are my, my body, my body
and the ripening happens there
take me down, further down
take me down, further down
take me down to the ground, take me down to the ground
let the dirt fall from my mouth
take me down to the ground
when did we walk among our elders?
when did we mingle with the elements?
where did we grow among the flowers?
when did we know our medicine?
our definitions are in transition
take me down to the ground, take me down to the ground
let the dirt fall from my mouth
take me down to the ground
take me take me take me down
take me take me take me down
take me take me take me down
take me take me take me down
to the ground
take me down to the ground
take me down to the ground

you or i or anyone knows how the wheat and barley grows
you or i or anyone knows how the space between us bows
maybe we both know, maybe we both know
