Golden Hour
03:54
|
|||
|
as I'm sitting
always thinking
the yellow
dusty sunlight
makes me feel like a hole
like a hand for all to hold
let the sun burn me up
and take me with the wind
don't go
so low
every winter
always colder
far too long, can't write songs
fast enough to fill the void
in my heart for the warmth
I need so badly then
and don't you know it never comes

Drunk Walks
02:45
|
|||
|
I love the cold
always have
walking from home to home again
I drank my warmth
before I left
stumbling down the roads I walked as a boy
on this one particular walk, it seems
the boundary between the cosmos and me
isn't there, never was
all together here we are, sing again

Traffic
03:34
|
|||
|
stuck in traffic
thinking about all the problems
I've ever seen or heard
lucky bastards
up in the sky with their wings and
no place to be or stop
baking, burning
melting inside of my vessel
breathing the fumes of man
and his blinders to the
not so far off future
grinding down our sweet rock to death
I now see the
reason for the stoppage
red and blue lights ahead
wreckage, paramedics
in no hurry
cops sipping coffee
just another
day for them but a family
and group of friends don't know
what awaits them
sorrow, anguish
and a reminder
there is no control

Rebirth
03:48
|
|||
|
like a solitary stroke of luck in one whole life
a death that precedes the body's frees one of their strife
they can be reborn only now
so what are the means to kill oneself before they die?
like I should know, I've only glanced upon the prize
some way to leave it all behind
and I'll escape
and I'll say nothing
no words to restrain me
free of thought, free of care
reborn into nothingness but conscious nonetheless
let the music move me with no thoughts to analyze the mess
holy, holy experience
like a newborn feeling sunlight for the first time
a nameless warmth that seeps life into your body's veins
listen, listen and rejoice
and I return
and I know nothing
no thoughts to restrain me

The Hustle
03:20
|
|||
|
look at all the people running around
digging their footsteps into the ground
from up here the highway looks like
cells in a bloodstream, letters in a book
oh, how I'd like to be a vagabond
in a world where I'm not the only one
but here I am just taking my place
every day I'm running the race
putting off my happiness
for a future that never comes
here in this moment, the only one
I'm working and moving for anyone
wanna slow down
wanna relax
wanna release the tightness in my chest
wanna remember what I knew before
when I was a child
I heard it before, I'll hear it again one day
trying to go somewhere walking in circles
thinking my way under the covers
I don't even go there, I don't even know
what is possible without fear
what is more irrational than true self-loathing
I think nothing
how can you ever truly be happy
if you're holding back who you are
wanna slow down
wanna relax
wanna release the tightness in my chest
wanna remember what I knew before
when I was a child
I heard it before, I'll hear it again one day
I've done it before, I'll do it again one day

Stuck
03:15

driving home on a cold, rainy day
passing through these tiny towns, we look but do not stay
I don't want to go back to work tomorrow
I wish I could eat for free and live on the road
but if you've been broke, you know that doesn't work
the way things work
here and now, but perhaps one day it could
you can be the chokehold on the people
trying to bring you down
if you stand together with each other
dreams of freedom, even though I am
the most free kind of person allowed in this land
could we bring each other up,
sit together, equals and fill each other's cups?
oh our leaders they are using us to seek their own wealth
driving us against each other like dogs in a fight
yes they bet on us, they revel in the blood we shed for their money
let us stand together and bite their toes off
all people for all people of the world!

Alaska
04:16
|

I'm going up to Alaska
gonna build a home
keep away the cold
til I get so fed up
with the warmth of comfort
and venture out and find a
snowy bank and stick my head into the ground
look around for signs of life
and if I lose my breath, I'll realize
I'll realize that I was the life I sought
too late for action, now, decay
I'm going down, digging deeper
looking for solid ground
that doesn't melt from people
here it is, I look up
I see a pin of light
that is the warmth I need
which do I choose, the solid ground or warmth of light?
must it really be this choice?
is there a steady high, no drawbacks,
no hangover just solid peace of mind?
I think so, it's a leap of faith I'll make

I Can See (i)
02:29
|

here is what the nihilist says:
here I am and there you are
floating 'round a dying star
us ourselves dying with it
dying cuz limit exists
like we're dying from the first
moment that we enter reality
so I drink to forget my mortality
here is what the living say:
how do you know when you are dead?
is there still a 'you' to be the one
aware of what is and not
but for now I think you see
through your eyes, you are living
what will you do with this opportunity?
your love is real, and you need it, and you want it
and they sing together:
ahh life is weird
ahh it don't get clearer
but you are a glassmaker
making lenses for yourself
and don't you worry about the end

Hope In The Dark
03:18

hope in the dark
where do you start?
how can you see,
oh how can you see in darkness?
sunk my own boat
but I'm staying afloat
every direction's the same
I sure will die if
I do not start swimming
sometimes it seems
just what I need
is to be utterly lost
then I start running
and I see where I was
hope in the dark
it's surely an art
you become god
you create light in darkness
hope in the dark
let us embark
on this eternal journey
looking for puddles
in the sahara desert
sometimes it rains
what can you do?
open your mouth and drink
drink it all down
drink it, and then keep moving
