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

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
7.
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

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 01:43
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?

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
