Lasso
03:15
|

Whistle and stand in the light.
Feels good to Re-Mind,
Unbend from bowed spine.
Lasso, to my body entwine.
Bind me up then unwind.
Make every cell testify
To move.
Sparrow and swallow dive
Holding ribbons inscribed:
Shed Welcome Light

Flowerhead
04:17
|
|||
I was born with dandelion eyes
Learned to dance by watching butterflies
Comb my hair in a honeysuckle wind
Be not contained by any skin that i'm bound in
Like a mushroom blooms where a fell tree lay
In this sacred spot so to do i
Underneath this old growth
A brand new seed takes its oath
To become a flowerhead
I'll become a wilderness I recognize
Or stand faded like a worn out welcome sign
E.T pollinators plant a seed inside
I ain't afraid ain't gonna hide
Now I don't miss that old chrysalis
In fact I feel like it never fit
Underneath this old growth
A brand new seed takes its oath
To become a flowerhead
Every new petal instant becomes a cosmos

Big Face In The Sky
03:12
|
|||
Covered up by clouds
Beneath a nest of bird wing brows
A single tear drop forms to fall
From the iris of the eye
Wellspring River Rainbow Rise
Behold big face in the sky
In a mask made out of stars
Which has been seen around these parts
The hand reveals a face that looks like ours
But I have only ever seen the eyes
Wellspring River Rainbow Rise
Behold big face in the sky

Under The Tree
01:06
|
|||
Earthworms burrow and slink
Tall skinny pines clack in long echo symphony
Twigs fall to pile on soft needle beds
Listen to between of things to hear the All
Wind plays its own song on discarded guitar strings
Lizards do push ups and hide
Their own whereabouts unknown
Listen to the between of things
To hear the All

Riddle Snake Blues
05:33

what did the sermon on the signpost at the steep part of the summit say?
the pioneers of yesteryears new frontiers were not the first ones here didja hear?
and the neon sign behind the mind says the three eyed man is the one most blind, walk out the outdoor outdoorsmen!
then a fiddle played a riddle that split my brain right through the middle
cartoon balloons arose at noon and wen they burst they play'd me some groovy tunes! psychic palms sing swan song psalms that calm the bombs and kill all the dot coms!
so today ill clear things up said the dirty mirror to the crystal cup, im gon face my fears or disappear to where down turns into up. then the tribes inside completely died and they call'd is selfish genocide and until now ive really tried to stand by yor side but you gotta wait coz this weight i carry is gonna kill me...
the heavy loads went down commodes the open roads the one least closed pay back yor debt when death lends you a token or the promise that you made to live is broken
the undone opposites came up with a hypothesis freedom without free is simply dom then the thumb started to hum if i had for fingers i could strum or drum in a band on a magick land in a place we call a planet then all the oaths they got on boats but the boats would never float coz the coats worn by the liars were heavy and the moat swallode the oaths like oats slooow and steaaddyyy eyey this comedy is not for me said dante to the flaming sea but the captain of the ship took a whip straight from his hip and said "ots only a river and u gotta be a dead man to cross it! if you got any possessions im gonna toss it!" his guide beside came from behind as Dante cried "this man's my bride and i am his eternal partner! WE COME DIVINE WITH LOVE ALONE AS ARMOR!" then the dream burst through the seams and carried its screams within its streams to cling between the free and imprisoned but the seeds and trees grow where they please without permission. the snake went to the lake and drank its water to stay awake then an earthquake began to shake like a tambourine jelly bean shot by a submarine submachine and when the dust died down death had everybodys attention but the earth jiust wans to make that good connection he said "look my friend its not the end im sending but it is if you keep pretending yor some kind of song with out and ending" and the response made by its residents is still pending... o! the ouroboros sang a chorus and the words were whats in store for us but no one listens to the Riddlesnake blues! no one listens to a sssong sssung by a sssnake

Give Us The Light
04:29
|
|||
O! Yes its true
We were once like you
Just a seed planted in the green
Till we sang sweetly through the night
Give us the light
Now I'm a tree
And you're standing next to me
Saying 'under your canopy it might as well be night'
And so you sing
Give us the light
And now you're free
I feel you climbing up my tree
Say you're gonna cut through the clouds
With your flaming sword
Well okay
I heard you singing on your way
Something like
Give us the light

Pipers Play'd

Looking at the front page news
Singing Armageddon Blues
Say strap on your doomsday shoes
And march in loving crews
So long farewell goodbye
If gone are the days
Then today is nigh!
I hear the pipers play
Looking at the front page news
Selling Armageddon Blues
You start to believe its true
When the hour falls on you
So long farewell goodbye
If gone are the days
Then today is nigh!
I hear the pipers play

It was a deaths head of paranoia
Seeking out to control ya
It wants to get to know ya
But will be crushed by the fear destroyer
Crushed By Fear Destroyer
I slayed my dirty spectre
Its not what my mind expected
When will my mantra come alive
And snap the neck of my devil's mind
Crushed By Fear Destroyer

Highway Tape Loop
07:38
|

When I drive
I feel the freeway
And I see the way its free
So if the sun
Is burning daylight
Then by that fire
I will be
The moon gets sharp
And cuts at midnight
The wound that opens
Lights the way
At true north lays
The heart beat polestar
Lets look and see how
The planets play
Get yr motor runnin
Head out on the highway
Things are looking real good
When you're looking my way
Stuck out my thumb
Listen to the song I hum...
