Tie the Air 03:00
broken context finds a right to stray running through me like a river through land a head case to live in my gut and unsteady hands hold my words too much why do I try to tie the air into knots I waste my time trying to tie the air into knots I'll be all that I can be I'll be all that I can be hold hands, hold heads, hold tight hang friends hang heads, hang tight you can find out trying to hold to salt silence over, let's find a way to fault because I won't be here for too long I won't waste my time for too long

Holiday Face 03:19
rhinestone I see it your smile I get excited when you're home my eyes light up like a light show I see it in your smile I get excited when you're home my eyes light up like a light show I've been sleeping in my a bed snug like a bug comfy sweet and fast asleep let's get together and celebrate you got valentine cheeks and your eyes light up like a Christmas tree and your smile is a firework's gleam and you're so sweet its almost spooky and I'm a fool, you know you make me laugh easy with you I know I can laugh easy with you I know I can rest easy with you you know I can rest easy

WataWataWata 03:04
apple tree, the ceiling was leaking sunny day water is with me you got high mountains to look up to talking loud like 'everybody do too' and we're both an ounce of a man pounds worth of thoughts pocket pocket over hands and you don't give it a chance shotgun decision water water water's with me heavy boots waddle waddle waddle with me so you go ahead and leave but I won't go I won't go Just run! just run, water water water's with me oh no no no I'll be saying 'I won't go I won't go' Just run woop! wah-oh wah-oh wah-oh wah-oh oh no no no no you'll be saying that 'it's too slow it's too slow' just run wAtAwAtAwAtAwAtA oh nonononono I'll be saying 'I won't go I won't go I won't go I won't go'

Sun Dogs 04:07
it's to rise up and to soak up Springer legs walk with a hippie smile and the sun dogs watch the birds flock sepia shepherd in the back yard no need to kick up dust in the soil that you call your own they putz around with content in their surrounds even in the brush there's gold mock suns no woes perk your ears this ground it knows sun dogs, a smile's on too a friendly walk, body language talks comforting comfort in the same place and mock suns form a dust song I sing along holding my own hazy hands the beasts are out and I know my heart can feel at ease alone the trees hold hands with leaves but eventually you know that they'll let go-o-o-o-o you can't call me friend but I know that I am even in the brush there's gold mock suns no woes perk your ears this house it knows mock suns, sun dogs even in the brush there's gold gun dogs done lawns perk your ears the ground it knows sun dogs, a smile's on too

Barabara 03:38
so I've gone and left for you a void in which to write and you can illustrate me with the darkest ink you find inching like an earthworm's dream I've been feeling better and we are all survivors yes, there's always work to do my feet will start to itch because my story line is dry I want a feathered back with my wings all colored wild but I'm okay in the basement yeah I'll keep treading water I can play the hermit's role with a hundred dancing crabs my guts were calling out like a loon I panicked didn't know what to do I wanna leave my footprints with no more blood trails you know I'm sorry, I said I'm sorry my guts were calling out like a loon but my mind's shoulders have finally come loose you know I'm sorry, I said I'm sorry but I can't learn it unless I love it why do I stay inside while the sun is shining?

Forward 02:28
a few good friends can keep you sane and make you leave your house again your words fit right into their ears but the earth is broken wide and you can step which way you like I think you should take a step forward, gotta take a step forward trees don't care about your plans and the skies will never lend a hand my legs only have me and my hands only have me I did not choose my name how I look or how I lay when you're standing on a rolling ball it's hard to even walk at all I read of bodies that used to build fantastic wonders they fulfilled and I know so much is beyond me a warm embrace can be a wooden gate an anchor is a friendly face a step forward is a step away a step forward is a step away

distracted by the weight of my eyes it's hard to get myself to sleep at night my sticky thoughts are stuck on other's thoughts now books are tied up to my hands and I'm slower than a turtle up on land just trying to leave behind my own shells and I, I'm not the wind I'm a trickly spigot and find me my calloused feet and find me my sweat cause I smeared my heart around on loved ones and on plans and I'm slipping in red muck and I've got none of it left unfold the sticky soil it's all you, it's foolproof laughing little lanterns guide you through the night time unfold the sticky soil its all you, a fool's proof laughing little lanterns knowing something that you don't I take a breath and finally say I'm ready for the west to win all my friends away and maybe I'll throw my bones to the road to tell the truth I'm so afraid everyone hands out their little "it will be okay"'s but the earth's unfolding and you go unfold the sticky soil they tell you a fool's proof laughing little lanterns are coming in the night time unknown the pieces toil it's all through it's all through keep you in the night time, wake you in the morning unfold the sticky soil it's all you, it's foolproof laughing little lanterns unfold the sticky soil the path is unwinding, earth is unfolding this time is due I'm losing your warmth, I'm losing mine too I got this rib cage to fill and lord knows that I am trying to sift through the soil finding what makes it full
