open

my eyes are open, my heart is open
so i can see around me
see where i am and who is here,
what the land looks like,
and where we may settle
openness i find here in boredom: opportunity
she fell from a tree and found endless space beneath
hear her talk, hear her wisdom
somehow, somehow touch it
ache and bend my heart does for you
i only write about questions
live those questions
i can hear the trees
oh how they ground me
incubate and feel the current flow
we're underneath and riding along
you don't have the energy, but you're in motion
ache and bend my heart does for you
i only write about questions
live those questions
my eyes are open, my heart is open

STOP
03:14

stop. catch me here
and i won't be
let your life rise
stop. catch me here
and i won't be
let your life rise (as the sun)
hold my hand through this please-
all the threads that could be

a new habitat
04:17
|
|||
|
you've become a landscape to me
mountains i return to in my heart
these softened hearts, our child selves
send me a poem again from far away
we can still gather and cry
drawing near where the new moon hides
i'll visit in spring, hold this longing in balance
nature has its own terms when settling into a new habitiat
i find words that are born in the clouds
above the lake i bathe in
holding to these pages like they'll give me answers
what if i don't like what they're saying?
these old rooms have faded away
the river is near, to listen to again
only listen, only listen
nature has its own terms when settling into a new habitat

forward
04:48
|

|
why oh why must we be tried by your authority?
tell me do you intend to make anyone's life better but yours?
cause we ain't got time
and all you've got is lies
people are trying to get by
we ain't got time
the water's getting high
people are trying to survive
forward through the ages, forward through the ages
not backward into cages, not backward into cages
there are babies with smiles on all sides we're missing because of the violence
ask the earth how to cross the divide, she'll tell you with her silence
cause we ain't got time
and all you got is lies
people are trying to get by
we ain't got time
the water's getting high
people are trying to survive
forward through the ages, forward through the ages
not backward into cages, not backward into cages
why oh why must we tried by our anxiety?
couldn't we instead make amends for the sins of our fathers?
cause we ain't got time
and all you got is lies
people are trying to get by
we ain't got time
the water's getting high
people are trying to survive
forward through the ages, forward through the ages
not backward into cages, not backward into cages

smells like bones
05:43
|
|||
|
waiting for the blood or the baby
women you know too well
yes, tender men too
howling, homing in silence
getting smaller, smaller everyday
how do we stay alive? you ask me, touching your little body
beware those who claim they know
being lost is the way sweetheart
preferred realities dropped, slackjawed
bones, like bones
it smells like bones in here, smells like bones in here
my faith remains in the mountains who do not speak
my faith remains in the oceans who do not speak
my faith remains in the changes i do not seek
it smells like bones in here, smells like bones in here
my faith remains in the mountains who do not speak
my faith remains in the oceans who do not speak
my faith remains in the changes i do not seek
my faith remains in the mountains who do not speak

what will be
04:35
|
|||
|
pounding on the wind i fear you will not hear me
pounding on my skin i fear you will not feel me
don't be down on, don't be down on
down on me, down on me
standing at the edge i fear you will not see me
standing at the edge i fear you will not hear me
don't be down on, don't be down on
down on me, down on me
what will be, what will be, what will be
stretching wider, stepping in
open to love, open to pain
stretching wider, stepping in
open to love, open to pain
sending signals miles away
over on the astral plane
seeing signals everywhere
north, here, where we have been
stealing time
what will be...

you always were
04:06
|

|
this is a song about questions
oh my dear, oh my dear
like what are these words?
and who are we?
passing through, pushing through
the years with you
onward, on
what does it matter
all of our efforts?
why don't we talk of matters of consequence like
where is your fox?
and where is your boy?
have you been tamed?
and what games do you play?
do you play?
onward, on
the only rose i know
you always were a rose, i suppose
you always were a rose, i suppose
i suppose, i suppose, i suppose
