In Flight

This sound is the pound of the rainfall
And the weight of the blades over my head
This beat is the seat of the plane I'm made to pilot
This noise is the voice of the captain
this drum is the hum of the engine
This ship is equipped with the sum of my intentions
Now
Once I leave the ground
I'm searching for a sound I never heard again
The way it flies takes me by surprise
Opens up my eyes, they never close again
To another world we fly
To another world we fly
Searching for the sound
Once it leaves the ground it never falls again
Above the clouds I'd open up my mouth
But nothing would come out
There's nothing to be said
In flight
All is bathed in light
All is bathed in light
All is bathed in light

Ball & Chain

The sun was somewhat like a ball & chain
The son was somewhat like a ball & chain
The sun was somewhat like a ball & chain
But somewhere was someone like a falling rain
Everything will Pey-o-te
When you go down Arizona way
You can run or you can take it slow
So long as you keep on walking
Sweet baby, don't you know I know
It's been a long ride
Met a man right down that road
Wanna walk the talk of loving?
And in a sound so sweet he said
You smell like Ayahuasca, Honey
Somewhat like a ball & chain
The sun was somewhat like a ball & chain
The son was somewhat like a ball & chain
The sun was somewhat like a ball & chain
The brighter the light, the darker the shadow
And I remember when we were long shadow people til the lights went down
I remember when we were long shadow people til the lights went down
I remember when we were long shadow people til the lights went down
I remember when we were long shadow people til the lights went down

Close

My two feet set the beat to the street
It was one for the fast one for the slow
Sang my song on the Long Tom River
Writing one for the high, one for the low
They go close
Old woman took me into her shelter
With one eye open and one eye closed
Medicine has a twin in a poison
And it all depends on the size of the dose
They go close
And she was one with the wind, one with the water
One with the fire and one with the stone
One with the wind, one with the water
One with the fire and one with the stone
They go close
Wise old man drew a spiral into the san
As one wave fell, one wave rose
Aunderstand that we all fall in circles
That get smaler and smaller the closer to home
They go close
one with the wind, one with the water
One with the fire and one with the stone
One with the wind, one with the water
One with the fire and one with the stone
They go close

Paper House

What are you made of, my girl?
Sugar and spice, scissors and knives
I know there's two sides to every story
And somewhere in between them is
An edge that cuts
What do we make of our world?
Colors and lines, places in time
I know there's two sides to everybody
And somewhere deep inside them is
An edge that cuts
(No one can help you now)
I don't know how to save her
(No one can help you now)
She made a house of paper
And burning rages, turning pages
(No one can help you now)
Until it all comes down to dust
What are you playing, my girl?
Puzzles and games, struggle and shame
Underneath the flames, you grow cold
I'm plotting an escape into the fold
(No one can help you now)
I don't know how to save her
(No one can help you now)
She made a house of paper
And burning rages, turning pages
Get out, get out, get out
Before it all comes down
With us all inside the window looking out
We're burning all our time.....
I pour the water, pour the water
While you fan the flames
(No one can help you now)
I don't know how to save her
(No one can help you now)
She made a house of paper
She made a house of paper
She made a house of paper

Too Far Gone
03:56

When it comes to the places
our edges meet
I would bend not to break it
or let it cut you or me
Cause I know we were told
we would see the light
And I tried, I tried, I tried.
I don't believe the hype
No I'm too far gone
Now I'm too far gone
Now I've heard it all before
so don't say no more
Cause when it comes to the places
Where our edges cut
You would run not to taste it
Such a waste of good blood
And I know we were told
we would be all right
And I tried, I tried, I tried.
I don't believe the hype
I'm learning the art of leaving
Well enough alone
I'm building it floor to ceiling
Stone by stone
Til there's no desire higher
Than the walls
That keep all the lies away from me
I tried
I tried
I tried
I don't believe the hype
It's a beautiful, beautiful
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
lie
so don't say no more
So don't say no more
So don't say no more

Simon Says

I chased a sun who chased his own shadow
Displacing his light on the ground
And all at once I could taste all the sweet
That competes with the lies in your mouth
Man, it buzzes all around my head
It buzzes all around my head
So you run where you know I don't follow
Spilling your seeds on the ground
Shift your feet and he'll sift you as wheat
'Til you eat all the lies in your mouth
Man, it buzzes all around my head
It buzzes all around my head
It buzzes all around my head
In this silence, Simon says
And when he comes around again
We'll awaken in a beautiful dream
Coveted in our hands, disintegrating
When he's going down again
We'll awaken to a violent scream
I'm waiting on the sound again
But it's silence, Simon says
It's silence, Simon says
'Til you make me an offering
Break this armor off of me
I don't care where you go
Fade in my memory
I prayed beside the enemy
Way back down the road
And when he comes around again
We'll awaken in a beautiful dream
Coveted in our hands, disintegrating
And when he's going down again
We'll awaken to a violent scream
I'm waiting on the sound again
But it's silence, Simon says
It's Silence, Simon says
Take what I'm offering
Beak the garner open
We only reap what we sow
Stained in your memory
You laid beside the remedy
Way back down the road

The Map & The Territory
01:34
|
|||
|
If I could triangulate
Your approximate location
You know I'd slow you down
I saw the maps that you made
Fall collapsed to the ocean waves
When your rollercoaster fell
that day
I knew nobody went just one way
I know no map is the territory
Where our stories play pretend
My foe, my friend
Where do you break?
Where do you bend?
