Take Some Time
03:57

If you can hear my heart call
Then you can hear much better than me
Cause where I wanna go in the fall
Is maybe not where I'm supposed to be
I took a hike and I raced a train
I took a swim into the sky
I chased a wolf into its den
He looked bored and so was I
And I feel like it's gonna take some time
To figure out what life wants me to find
And sure there are good things that I like
But I just don't know what's worth my life
I found a book inside my mind
In a language I could never find
I'll take some time and read through it
Figure out just what to do
I rode a horse to a bar
And spilled out till it would drink
I should have thought that out better
Now I can't get home because I didn't think
And I feel like it's gonna take some time
To figure out what life wants me to find
And sure there are good things that I like
But I just don't know what's worth my life
Sure I have a lot of good ideas in my head
But even the good ones might leave me dead
The bad ones always find a way to work
But the shortcomings make me feel like a jerk

Loon
05:15
|
|||
Every time I try to go, you beg me home with a sunrise
In the crisp and cold air you work yourself behind my eyes
Bringing us together, in the confluence they misnamed
Making us fall in love with your, dirty, broken down selfish ways
I haven't found you yet, my loon out on the river
But I shouldn't rush, since the thought still makes me quiver
There are hundreds of bends, where I feel that I could find you
But when I get close and quiet, you slip away without one clue
It feels like so long that I've searched now
But if there's an easier way I don't know how
I don't know if I need you to love me
Just need you to be my muse to let my mind free
I lie awake at night from time to time
Hearing your voice far down the line
You sing me off to sleep from the water
But you always get away so I don't bother
But you're my loon I hear you calling
You're the perfect kind figure that my mind drew
I'll paddle ever quieter to find you
Going long after dusk to learn your path chorus
It feels like so long that I've searched now
But if there's an easier way I don't know how
I don't know if I need you to love me
Just need you to be my muse to let my mind free

Hey Killer
04:08
|

Hey killer how's the paycheque this week?
Hey killer do you and your kids still speak?
Hey killer did it put a smile on your face?
Hey killer? if you like justice then take your place
But you know there's a life beyond your kevlar vest
And you know that's not the only life we thought you'd protect
Hey liar who are you fighting for
Hey liar shot em dead but you saved the store
Hey liar swallow your pride
Hey liar colour's why you cried
But you know there's a life and it isn't blue
And you know if there's peace it won't come from you
Hey runner bet you feel so big
Hey runner they'll always call you pig
Hey runner if it's all your life
Hey runner I wish you'd give listening a try
And you know that blue life can be laid down
And you know if you drop it you'd still never drown
When your blue life is dead you live on

Incongruous
03:45
|
|||
I want something to put the blame on
Something to tell me what's wrong
And I act all antisocial
But really want someone to sing along
Busy running out the clock
To earn the things I need to have
To do the things I want to do
But there's no time left for that
I'm feeling oh so distant
From what I know I care for dear
It's like I'm in a darkened basement
And the flickering light feeds my fear
I can't stand the thought of hurting
Just to get my life on track
But it's like there's no way around it
Without quitting and turning back
I guess I'll work to get by
I'll work to help out where I can
I'll enjoy life without corruptions
And do it broke but feeling grand

Million Paper Cuts
04:48
|

She's lived to feel a million paper cuts
Cuts from the hill
Cuts from the silence
Today she stands straight, holding her ground
They think she's gotta play it down
She gets her daily bread but there's a target on her head
Love looks silent
But is always still there
There's peace but it's violent
And those who enforce the peace don't care
Running to stand still, from the ever nearing dread
She holds her ground to be free
There's a dress draped on the city
And that dress is coloured red

Nuthatch
05:03
|
|||
I feel free walking
Around while the sun eludes me
There's no humming
On the veins that bring the norms downtown
They won't listen
Like a Cuckoo calling in the night
Can't hear the nuthatch
Who sings to guard his precious line
But when I'm on my own
I'll fight for the nuthatch's song
When the tune is on hold
I'll sing till he comes back along
Cause when there's nothing to hide
I feel free
In a land so vast it limits what I see
And that same width
Scatters the support that is given where it fits
And mountains make a mask
To hide the eyes of the truth that we seek
But some let it be
It helps to keep the tongue in the cheek
But when I'm on my own
I'll fight for the nuthatch's song
When the tune is on hold
I'll sing till he comes back along
Cause when there's nothing to hide
Freedom stretches far and wide
But when I'm on my own
I'll fight for the nuthatch's song
When the tune is on hold
I'll sing till he comes back along
Cause when there's nothing to hide

Decayed
04:16
|

The stars are drowned out by the light
But the light won't show beauty to suffice
The wind is swaying the trees
But the trees are rooted deep beneath
Your breath's becoming still
And distant from the world your presence fills
And radio waves tingle in my spine
While I fall in tune with the chilly night
And how I wonder how far it goes
How I wish to fall off of the ground and into what's unknown
I remember your gaze
Lined with intrigue and better days
Like the delicate touch
Of water reaching out to be your crutch
Why did I stay away
When now at night I only lie awake
To think what happens now
Might've been caused by my mistake
How I wonder what would have been up ahead
How I wish to trust the thoughts that I had, when the water called me back
And though you'll never see
The feeling now decayed
My heart is still the same
And though I'm left behind
I'm never far away
I'll never run stray
You are my break of day
But now you're down the stream
And now the water parts away from me
It causes pain to see
Though I know you'll float on now that you're free

Borrowing Purpose
03:48
|
|||
In the dark hours before the dawn
I wonder if I'm doing what I love
Drive out to main Street in the snow
Still questioning if I should really go
To be up at dawn is to sleep before the dusk
But that's when I get thoughts that I should trust
And beyond the dusk beauty begins to rise
And the muse begins to take off her disguise
They say to follow your heart
Then generously give you a start
Start you on the path towards success
But sometimes you forfeit happiness
Driving down the highway to the light
I hope my destination is right
I know well where to turn and stop
But will the place really give me good thoughts
You may try to be selfless but at some point
You give too much of yourself and disappoint
Really there's only one thing you should look for
It's lovely but more complex than an open door
They say to listen to your gut
Then give you lots of ifs ands and buts
You'll never find a way through their guidance
And we'll remain thinking that they're the giants
There are holes in my favourite jeans
And my jackets gathering wind in the seams
And a new set with a logo isn't bad
But the money spent on that can't make me glad
Some people can't get enough from the mirror
And others just want to disappear
But the mirror won't remember you even for looks
And it's not the thing they'll write about in your books
They say to follow your mind
Then cloud it up with ideas unkind
They start you on the path to happiness
And tell you it's the same as success

Traveling

I
I'm traveling
Still not sure where
But I'm traveling
And I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
Oh, I'll meet you there

In the Night
04:58
|

In the night
Does the world keep on spinning outside
Or does it slow down for a while
To make this moment freeze in time
When we sleep
Is someone out there watching me
Is it the sun setting us free
Is it just to ignore and talk till three
When stars come out
Aren't they just like you
There all along
Do they also help me when I'm wrong?
But the light shining from you isn't so far
How can we know if it's still real if our eyes are closed?
Does the universe wither like a rose
Or does it stay unchanged and unopposed
But to me it's clear, I know that you're still there if I feel you here
And the milky way is gone and out of sight
And you won't let the dark take you tonight
In the woods, do the bears fear hibernation or the unknown
Do they also wonder where they go?
Are their fears all new to me, or are they old
And the birds
Do they sing for the love they wish to find?
Or is it to ask the heavens for more time
Perhaps for more seeds, that's just fine
In all life
Is there one thing we can share?
That remains when we're not there
Does it outlive all our cares?
But while you're here
All those other worries disappear
And that's cliche but it's so clear
Nature knows what we shouldn't fear
Of all we've made
Insignificant on the stage
There's one thing that remains
Can't be proved wrong or erased
Is there anything beyond?
Is there anything out there?
What's it that keeps us hanging on, through this life?
And why do we work to get all this money
When money only exists if we all agree
Why do we allow risks to suppress us?
We should be in control
But we sit back, and we feel bad
Where do we go
When we silence our voices?
Do we keep them quiet
Till we silence our heartbeat?
And so what's the point?
Is there some destination?
Can we take back the love I know we used to have?
Can we take back the love I know we used to have?

Mend Our Weary Hearts
04:50
|
|||
There's a blinding truth
That we can see
If we all can live in harmony
And hand in hand mend our weary hearts
When the wind is calm
Then we will speak and share a voice
And let it be
And hand in hand mend our weary hearts
The woods around
Will share our breath
As we become one again
And hand in hand mend our weary hearts
The stars above
Will shine a light
To bring us all home tonight
And hand in hand mend our weary hearts
When the nuthatch sings
We'll hear her song
And make the space to right our wrongs
And hand in hand mend our weary hearts
The water may rise
To cleanse our fears
And bear its force to wash our tears
And hand in hand we'll mend our weary hearts
To hear the loon
In pursuit of love
We'll let her go
But hope she comes
And hand in hand mend our weary hearts
That blinding truth
Then becomes
The kind of joy we feel belongs
And hand in hand mend our weary hearts
