UNITY
I tie my hands to the openness then I go
The sky is grey slate the grass is pure gold
And if I get to the ocean if I survive
I’ll dedicate myself I’ll throw my body to the sharks
And float away
It’s getting cold now the wind comes howling in
Birds of prey come to wrap me I feel their warmth on my shoulders
Crickets singing it’s a choir of insects
Past the branches there’s darkness I feel my humanness just –
Fade Away
And when there’s nothing left
Just a bone dry field of skeletons
It’s just this organism waking up
I heard the Earth is crying now
To wake me up

Open Up

Open up – let the sky in
Just admit you’re addicted
To believing there’s something else
Something to believe in
If I open my hands out
Will you fill them with sweetness?
I’ve been wearing this grey cloud
I’ve been falling, falling in and out
Of something to believe in
I dreamt of static
The sky was made of electric
And then we’re falling in – And then we’re falling out again
Thoughts made of muscles, my feet to the ground
Shedding off layers, my skin falling down
Give me something, give me something
I need to stand – Give me something
Give me something – I can stand for

Cord and Thread
05:07

All I’ve ever known – take what you’ve got and run
All this to face alone – cracked broke and peeling
And this is what’s needed and – oh what a way to go
The price to understand – oh in the darkness and – oh this damp mattress
And oh the light is breaking – outside it’s raining I find myself fading
And oh – what a way to make an escape
Alive in this spider web – I’m wrapped up in cord and thread
And in my new skin – I wait at the door – for me
When all is said and done – when the shock waves failing – the patterns breaking
I need to become undone – when the sky turns pink – the stitches break
And oh – what a way to make an escape

Birds
04:01
|

Buildings growing high where there once were trees
But the birds still fly higher in the breeze
They say that something’s gotta break but I think it will be –
Will be me
Peppermint tea and the smell of wet cat fur
And the sky goes grey and pink and therefore
The rain comes tumbling down and it cleans the streets so easily
And it’s hard to believe its real cause the world seems so damn –
Cruel to me
I stumble in the light to find my way
And when the night comes I’m impatient for the day
And there’s nothing else I can do but spread the word so hopelessly
And if I could break those cages, I’d smash those chains –
They’d all be free
It’s hard to believe that the answers are all there
And it’s hard to believe that we think life’s unfair
And it’s hard to believe that you’re too busy –
And you’re just too damn cool to care
And you’re wrapped up in the image of your golden self –
With your faceless dreams like there’s no one else
And you’re walking down street like you own it all
Like the sounds of machines were your chosen call
To not give a fuck about anything at all

Everything (Nothing)
03:10
|

Let me fall off the Earth
‘Cause I can’t relate to anything
It’s all at once – Everything and Nothing
I breathe in crystal air
And the words that float there
The waves comes crashing in
Are both bleak and bright
It’s all at once – Everything and Nothing
It’s all painted white with soundless shuffling
And an empty sky
Can I touch the line where honest words
Fracture and become –
Just talking, talking, talking, talking
Like there’s nothing else
It’s just talking, talking, talking, talking
Like it’s in the centre of everything
And it’s all at once – Everything and nothing
