Forgetting
03:57
|
|||
Forgetting will begin with your eyes then swallow your voice
It will consume you entirely
Little by little I will be free
How can anyone endure such pain
You destroy me, you please me
You’re not endowed with memory
With all my might
I fought not to forget
I longed for us to be alone
In a dream of shadow and stone
Staying here is even more impossible than leaving
One day or three, time enough
To live and die I don’t care much
My body still ablaze with the memory of you
I did not expect this at all
I can’t leave you I’m so miserable
Hands become useless
They claw and scrape
Away at the rocks until they bleed
I’m so madly in need
Of a sky above I’ve never seen
Then one day eternity comes to an end
I hear the bells ring up above
I tremble at forgetting such love
Somewhere sometime I will see you again
But I know that you’ll run
So I give you up to oblivion
You will become a song
Symbol of love forgotten and long gone

Pearl

Pearl is my lover
and I'll love her til I die
She's got golden curls around her
and silver in her smile
Her eyes are blue and brown and green
Like sea and the mountains in between
The world compressed and then released
Exploding in desire
No finery upon her neck
but finest lines and shapes
Descending all around her like
a statue made of finest grace
Her mind is like a lioness
and her heart is like a lamb
Her laugh is like a fountain in which
I cast my hand
I know it gets so complicated when
You're running in your own direction
I know you'll never be beholden to me
Holding onto me
I miss the way her tender hand
ran across my brow
And down my cheeks like tears
for wishing she were here
Her memory inside my mind
is like the purest dream
Vivid as the pebbles in a
rocky mountain stream
Now Pearl is so far away
but I cannot forget
The way she loved me on that night
when first our souls met

Secrets
03:46

You know I'd tell you all my secrets dear
There were, I thought you knew
Always a few
I don't think that you really want to hear
Don't, no don't, don't you say
Everything's gonna be ok
No no no no don't you show me
Every little thing that I want to see
The window washed the rays across the room
And every little shine
Was gleaming sharp and fine
You sat there rubbing dirt into my wounds
Don't, no don't, don't you go
What else do you want to know
No no no no no don't you say
Everything's gonna be ok
I've got this man deep down inside of me
You know he loves to wait
Until the hour's late
He only loves you in your misery

Let the Fire
03:47
|
|||
Lately I’m waking with a nightmare in my bed
My head’s a-fever with the vision I see
Still the same old me
California is the vision that I’m dreaming
Gleaming sun shining on the sand
Like a promised land
Look to the west over an ocean never-ending
Sending flowers to the desert at my feet
Pray they never meet
Living on the beach while the water’s still free
Floating lazily
I’m gonna let the fire come for me
I don’t believe they put a man on the moon
It’s too soon to dust off these shoes
And sing the future blues
Sometimes it feels like we’re on top of a mountain
Counting steps to the waterfall
Railing Adderall
The sea is honey and the earth is molasses
And we’re the masses of little fruit flies
Living on little white lies
Cop’s in the city and the judge is in the seat
We’re running wild in the street
Let’s set the fire and dance in the heat
Burn burn, and sink into the sea
Every day the fire gets a little closer
Can't see the mountains with the smoke in the air
Every day I'm coughing up the blackness
and the stars are gone in the glare
There's a prison with a view of the ocean
I've got a notion 'bout that property
Can't afford to be free in this commotion
Can't afford to live in bridge city
Driving to the levee in my '57 Chevy
Simulated on TV
I'm gonna let the fire purify me

Go with the Flow
03:26
|
|||
I’ve been lost in confusion
I’ve been living in dread
If it’s that thing again now
I think I’d rather be dead
Oh mama I’m coming home
Coming home to stay
I packed my bags this morning
Won’t you see me away
Remember when we were younger
The places we used to play
I will be there forever
Even when I’ve gone away
Oh lord I’ve got this feeling
Radiating heat
It’s gonna hurt a little
It’s gonna make me complete
I’m gonna get that flash now
See my life unwind
You know I always said I’d
Pay it no mind
I’m tired of moving
I’m tired of sleep
I can’t take the tension
The water’s knee deep
All of the beauty
What does it matter to me now
Slipping away
My vision narrows to the light
Now I feel so shameful
Being so pacifist
As I’m fighting myself here
Who am I to resist
So mama live your life
Though it won’t be fair
There’s nothing says it should be
The laws are pretty clear
Oh mama please forget me
So it goes you know
Sometimes it feels so good to
Go with the flow

Animals
02:28
|
|||
I don't believe you, honey, when you talk about love
Like fate ordained by the sky above
Incandescent feathers, show me what you're worth
It was a long line of animals that put you on this earth
You can always reach out before you reach back in
Give it your best shot, because you're in it to win
You can get selected, spit your legacy
Or make your peace with lonely misanthropy
