Hey Stranger
It's all I know, findin' ways to stay
Hey, stranger, come crash for a minute
It's all I know, findin' ways to stay
Hey, stranger, come crash for a minute
I tried to fly in thunderclouds
With blind eyes, and touch the sky
It's all I know, findin' ways to stay
Hey, stranger, come crash for a minute
When all this noise gets turned off and you can smell the moss
In the pale blue haze, while we circle each other
Like orbiting planets, predictable and powerful
Two lost crystals in the black night sky
I've got music, so who needs anything more
To extend the time with invisible weight
Absorbed and unalterable in delirium
Sightly deceiving in living light, living light
It's all I know, findin' ways to stay
Hey, stranger, come crash for a minute
Yesterday, yesterday
I fell, and now I'm takin' backwards steps
It's all I know
Your hands hang by your side, and my advice begins at three
We'll build a bridge, some kind of machine
The hammer and the whistle that live inside of me
While morning clouds are chased off by the sun hangin' over the sea
Inhale the stars, 'cause that's what you will be
Part of the lowering sky, eventually
It's all I know, findin' ways to stay
Hey, stranger, come crash for a minute
It's all I know (it's all I know, all I know, all I know)
It's all I know (it's all I know, all I know, all I know)
It's all I know (it's all I know, all I know, all I know)
It's all I know (it's all I know, all I know, all I know, all I-)
Oblivion
I fold my hands across my breast
No stones to weigh upon my chest
No fist to clench, no furrowed brow
Though cold I sleep more soundly now
No stranger sunset have I seen
The wavy lines I float between
Converges, spirals and surround
And draw me further underground
Between the layers in the soil
I crash through shale and splash in oil
My relentlessness is finally quit (woo hoo, ooh)
And I am warming up a bit
Below a kingdom bathed in ink
Now opening the onyx gates
I sense the reaper as I sink
Within, oblivion awaits
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash
(Oblivion awaits)
Through the shale
(Oblivion awaits)
And splash
(Oblivion awaits)
In the oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash
(Oblivion awaits)
Through the shale
(Oblivion awaits)
And splash
(Oblivion awaits)
In the oil
(Oblivion awaits)
In the oil
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash through shale and splash in oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash
(Oblivion awaits)
Through the shale
(Oblivion awaits)
And splash
(Oblivion awaits)
In the oil
(Oblivion awaits)
I crash
(Oblivion awaits)
Through the shale
(Oblivion awaits)
And splash
(Oblivion awaits)
In the oil
(Oblivion awaits)
In the oil
Evolve
I paused a moment once in time
Before the sun began to shine
To weigh the choice I had to make
And therein lies my first mistake
My second came just after that
To keep the solar discus flat
And make the planets scurry around
The math required was quite profound
And now it's mountains, streams, and plains
Ten thousand creatures, none the same
A million little things to solve
Or not, I'll let them all evolve
First came the light, then came the sound
Then came the worlds that could never slow down
Then came the people with problems and hope
That don't mean a thing, if they just knew the scope
First came the light, then came the sound
Then came the worlds that could never slow down
Then came the people with problems and hope
That don't mean a thing, if they just knew the scope
First came the light, then came the sound
Then came the worlds that could never slow down
Then came the people with problems and hope
That don't mean a thing, if they just knew the scope
First came the light, then came the sound
Then came the worlds that could never slow down
Then came the people with problems and hope
That don't mean a thing, if they just knew the scope
First came the light, then came the sound
Then came the worlds that could never slow down
First came the light

A Wave Of Hope
From out of the chaos, a wave appears in the moonlit confusion
Irons melted, coming grace, no longer frozen
The pillow drowns the moans and shallow breaths
As dancing silvery rays change
Each wave eyes a star
And the swollen moon hangs over the water
Reflections guide the way
Gold maze mirrors as the night wheels turn
Shipwrecks sway, steel mast crashes, spin green sky
I have grown my wings, I am flying
Ascending now, I am soaring
Untied my wrists and flew away
This too shall pass, this too shall pass
I have grown wings, I am flying
Ascending fool, I am soaring
Untied my wrists and flew away
This too shall pass, this too shall pass
We are flying, we are flying
Over the water
We are diving, we are diving
Into the water
I have grown wings, I am flying
Ascending now, I am soaring
Untied my wrists and flew away
This too shall pass, this too shall pass
I have grown wings, I am flying
Ascending now, I am soaring
Untied my wrists and flew away
This too shall pass, this too shall pass
We are flying, we are flying
Over the water
We are diving, we are diving
Into the water
I have grown wings, I am flying
I have grown wings, I am flying
I have grown wings, I am flying
I have grown wings, I am flying
I am flying
I am flying
I am flying
I have grown wings, I am flying
Ascending now, I am soaring
Untied my wrists and flew away
This too shall pass, this too shall pass
Pillow Jets
They will come
On pillow jets of sound
The proof of wonder
Celestial starlight gowned
The ghost enchanter
The eagle guide
Beautiful and brown
Beautiful and brown
They will come
To form one tribe
The tone romancer
Mosaic spirit scribe
Crimson robed
And golden firelight crowned
High above the ground
High above the ground
On pillow jets of sound
On pillow jets of sound
On pillow jets of sound
On pillow jets of sound
They will come
Sewing star threads through the air
With silver serpents
That spiral in their hair
Sounding bells
Elusive and unbound
High above the ground
High above the ground
On pillow jets of sound
On pillow jets of sound
On pillow jets of sound
On pillow jets of sound
They will come
Through smoke rings in the glare
With mace and discuss
Slicing through the air
Restoring light
As the lost become the found
High above the ground
High above the ground
On pillow jets of sound
On pillow jets of sound
On pillow jets of sound
Harlequin kaleidoscopic
On pillow jets of sound
Prismatic velvet tones
On pillow jets of sound
Pulsating halcyon specter
On pillow jets of sound
Flaming visions, shadow drawn
On pillow jets of sound
Vivid phantoms hovering
On pillow jets of sound
So high above the ground
On pillow jets of sound
The conjurers of thunder
On pillow jets of sound
The conjurers of thunder
On pillow jets of sound
The conjurers of thunder
On pillow jets of sound
The conjurers of thunder
Lonely Trip
When I see through the deception
And the river's flowing free
You may understand the reason why I'm drifting out to sea
And you may control the currents
As I drift in search of land
You may understand the reason when the water turns to sand
So while you're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
While you're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
When doors are all closed tightly
With words the only keys
You may understand the reason why I'm floating on the breeze
When I hear your voice responding
When no questions have begun
You may understand the reasons why I'm flying to the sun
So while you're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
While you're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
So while we're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
Life Saving Gun
We are temporal silver men in sulfur vessels
A percussion rinse
We are disc cultivators at this fatalistic gala
A life-saving gun, a life-saving gun
A life-saving gun
In this pepperbush of colonial ice
The cashier's fan is a life-saving gun
In clustered columns, the vaulting cartridge
In the wharf storehouse, there is a life-saving gun
There is a life-saving gun, there is a life-saving gun
Super bomby warfare, life-saving gun
Contact net, life-saving gun
Shoulder mountain, life-saving gun
Meso laceration, life-saving gun
Contact net, life-saving gun
Percussion rinse, life-saving gun
Super bomby warfare, life-saving gun
Meso laceration, life-saving gun
Contact net, life-saving gun
Meso laceration, life-saving gun
Super bomby warfare, life-saving gun
Percussion rinse
Percussion rinse
Percussion rinse
Percussion rinse
Super bomby warfare, life-saving gun

Monsters
Easy now, easy now
Easy now, easy now
I wake up in my bed
With monsters in my head
Easy now, easy now
Easy now, easy now
I wake up in my bed
With monsters in my head
A world of smoke and shadows
Has clouded my vision for so long
And I recall a time when I used to belong
The wreckage of the past
And the fear of tomorrow haunts my mind
I'm searching for a way to make it all rewind
Easy now, easy now
Easy now, easy now
I wake up in my bed
With monsters in my head
Easy now, easy now
Easy now, easy now
I wake up in my bed
With monsters in my head
Easy now, easy now
Easy now, easy now
I wake up in my bed
With monsters in my head
Easy now, easy now
Easy now, easy now
I wake up in my bed
With monsters in my head
Ether Edge
Moving water show us the way
As the moon begins to rise
And through the air she flies
And as the night closes in
It all rolls away
And the wires in her brain
Are torn and frayed
But she is bounty and flow
And she knows where to go
Where there's nothing to lose or gain
And so she dances alone
In the summer rain
And her golden hair glows
Just sounds remain
Leaves the shadows behind
In the depths of her mind
And lets go of the fear and pain
Tangerine light beams splintered in rays
Reveal the starlit skies
Moving water show us the way
As the moon begins to rise
And through the air she flies
Beyond the ether edge
To the other side
Ooh...
And all the luminous colors
Breathe and sway
As the sky opens wide
She knows the way
All the beauty we'd find
If we could leave it behind
And the past is gone
Whatever happens now
I don't mind
It all rolls away
It all rolls away (all rolls away)
It all rolls away (all rolls away)
It all rolls away (all rolls away)
It all rolls away (all rolls away)
It all rolls away (all rolls away)
It all rolls away (all rolls away)
It all rolls away (all rolls away)
Human Nature
If we are complete the way that we are
Why'd I fall off my seat at the Moonrise bar
In a lovesick fog, attack of unease
See your cold stare, I'm brought down to my knees
Hey, yeah
Gotta get back to the let go
Hey, whoa
Whatever it takes to grow
Hey, yeah
Gotta get back to the get go
Get go, get go, get go
Gotta, gotta let go
It's all the vines up the rock I climb
It's just my human nature
Between the pines there's a light that shines
It's just my human nature
Paddle upstream on a hollowed out tree
With a whipped cream can and some vitamin C
No one's breaking my stride
Your love takes off and I watch it fly
Refracted back in our shared third eye
Relax and swallow my pride
Hey, yeah
Gotta get back to the let go
Hey, whoa
Whatever it takes to grow
Hey, yeah
Gotta get back to the get go
Get go, get go, get go
Gotta, gotta let go
It's all the vines up the rock I climb
It's just my human nature
Between the pines there's a light that shines
It's just my human nature
It's all the vines up the rock I climb
It's just my human nature
Between the pines there's a light that shines
It's just my human nature
Nature, nature
Nature
Nature
Nature
Valdese
Please return the focus to the setting where I left
I'll picture you floating with the ghost above the trees
My camera is the soul to those armies long forgotten
And the picture tells the story in the chapter of Valdese
Valdese
For leaving can be golden on the wing
And I can't swim, but if I can I'll sing
The mail arrives, I read it then I leave
Cause the more I read, the more I feel deceived
The more I read, the more I feel deceived
Do you ever feel locked in?
Do you ever feel that you can't win?
The mad man can slide the knife inside
But who then has their sights set on him
And the ghost in the orchard will sharpen his teeth
And climb way up in a tree
And wait for some poor fool to wander beneath
On his blind journey to Valdese
To Valdese
And night is the number great lover, great lover
I'll picture you floating with the ghost above the trees
And night is the number great lover, great lover
And night is the number great lover, great lover
Valdese
To Valdese
And night is the number great lover, great lover
And night is the number great lover, great lover
And night is the number great lover, great lover
And night is the number great lover, great lover
Mercy
I am water
Dancing in the light
Shimmering by the sweeping shore
Moving in darkness with the setting sun
In the afterglow
Of divine mind
A resonating tone
Beneath the waves
Calls me in my dreams
And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Hearts bend
Folded red
Please don't go
Rise in fire and slip away
I am singing now
Over the fear
And remembering how
The changes come on the way down
And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
I am water
Dancing in the light
Shimmering by the sweeping shore
Moving in darkness with the setting sun
