Yellow Boat
04:31
|
|||
|
Drifting, drifting on
Shards of ice, a breathing sea I am
Alive on it
Deception Island we
Enter the caldera
Steam rising from the beaches
The sky is swirling dark and light in lust
Indecisiveness envelops us
All I’ve got’s this yellow boat
Kids see it all, so stay afloat

The Zoo
05:03
|
|||
|
The exhibits sometimes change
But the barriers stay the same
Someone’s gonna climb it
Someone’s gotta try it
Smirking animals at the zoo
Now the humans are trapped here too
If we could only catch a glimpse
Of the sweetness that’s within
There’s no absolute solution
No mental evolution
Oh, to be the feeling that we feel
Whether happy, soft or steel
Smirking animals at the zoo
Now the humans are trapped here too

C'mon Fun

You gotta pay ya know, for everything
Cause nothing’s free
Are you angry at what that means?
If it just got real
Then it just got mean
So let’s live in denial of reality
Can you sing the truth and make it into some kind of beautiful song?
When you’re too tired to write or corral a fleeting thought without it all coming out wrong
And it’s a madness when you know it’s right there under the surface but you can’t touch it, so come on now!
Have fun! Let’s all have fun!
Can you sing the truth and make it into some kind of beautiful song?
You can follow the rules but the winners make the rules and have since the world begun
If you can’t change the game, all you can really do is just play it, so come on now
Let’s have fun! Let’s all have fun! C’mon fun!
Live for today with the sun in your eyes cause it don’t matter much any more

Cicadas
03:26
|
|||
|
Punishing buzz of the cicadas
Easily confused with common screams
But they always somehow end up staying cryptic
From one extreme, the feeling of faking
To tears of joy and every kind of pain
The observer’s always sure to keep some distance
This year’s gone so wrong
The legendary chorus of cicadas
The volume misconstrued for a buzz
But they’re talking shit on top of one another

Underwater Sounds
03:53
|
|||
|
Dizzy
Cold tile against a cheek
Dizzy
Dizzy
From these underwater sounds
Lemmings
In shadows all around
Swan dive into the sea
For the past forever years into the ocean
A sea of white explosions
A chance to leave behind every reminder
Without a trace seems kinder
Vanishing in the sea
Heavy
These underwater sounds
Eyes asleep
Got so tired just had to lay down
On beds of glowing rock

The Painting Never Ends
03:10
|
|||
|
The painting never ends
Close your eyes and it extends
Beyond the frame, beyond what you can explain
Beyond what you know as sane
The painting never ends
Close your eyes and it extends
Beyond the frame, beyond what you know as sane
Beyond what you know as pain
It never ends
Close your eyes and it extends
Beyond the frame, beyond what you can explain
Beyond what you know as sane

The Construct
03:49
|
|||
|
Lay in bed for hours awake, usually quick to dream
Now a struggle to let go
Awake I fight off hate
Asleep I laugh, like an early track
A different take
From the construct that I know
What if we could stay here through the spring
The garden beds need water to stay green
By the time it hits October
The falling leaves will make believe they’re going home
To the construct that they know
If we believe we’ll never die here
Then why avert our gaze acknowledging the dread
Hanging on or letting go
Surrender, let it flow
Straight through your very soul
The construct that you know

Taking the Canyon
07:57
|
|||
|
Signing a one year lease
Ready for some peace
Hiding away in the canyon
Taking the canyon, we’re taking the canyon
Tanks on Mulholland, we’re taking the canyon
Roll up the mountain, we’re taking the canyon
If we have some drinks
My couch is great to sleep
Late in the morning in the canyon
Boots marching in a line
