All that I see is the sky around me
All that I am is the earth right beneath my feet
Why have I tried endlessly just to reach?
Why have I called on deaf ears
Just to waste my breath
It’s the reaching that is healing me
The searching walking endlessly
Of all this shame I will unclothe me everyday
How the rain it falls
And all of it will wash away
Walk from this home I’ve been building so long
I keep my head high
You can’t look me in the eye
I gave everything
You won’t let me sing
It’s the reaching that is healing me
The searching walking endlessly
Of all this shame I will unclothe me everyday
How the rain it falls and all of it will wash away

Grew Inside the Water

I thought I could hear you calling ‘round the corner of my soul
Like a distant wind or something speaking languages I know
I thought I could feel you pulling like a child upon my sleeve
And If you were just a child, maybe then I would not grieve
I never asked for much from you, how could I be angry then?
What was I supposed to do? Is it all true?
Well a child does not abandon, it does not go both ways
How could I abandon you? I don’t have mysterious ways
I grew inside the water of somebody I heard sing
And right then I met my mother, right then I heard her scream
I never asked for much from you, how could I be angry then?
What was I supposed to do?
Is it all true
What is it about this city that makes me think I fell?
What is it about the anger like a stranger in a well
I’ve just gotten off the plane, my heart went heavy with the wake
Like a choice I did not make
Like a choice I did not make
I never asked for much from you
How could I be angry then?
What was I supposed to Do?
Is it all true
After all
This talk of cities.
It’s not the city that I hate
It’s that this is where you left me standing naked at the gate

Society's a Mansion
04:44

I almost feel free honey that’s for sure
And I don’t know what I came here for
I ain’t playing games so get off my back
If society’s a mansion I want to live in a shack
We only had a dollar and someone’s left over food
We sat on the street together
We had nothing to lose
Not chasing the old time wind
Chasing that old-time wind
We slept in fields together
Underneath the tall trees
Hearts as light as a feather
We had no one to please
Not chasing that old time wind, chasing that old time wind
Well I almost feel free honey that’s for sure
And I don’t know what I came here for I ain’t playing games
So get off my back
If society’s a mansion I want to live in a shack
I can just taste the raw joy of having nothing but shoes
My guitar on my shoulder
The old man taught us the blues
I am free because I can see the wind won’t be caught by me
We were playing our music right there in Santa Cruz
The homeless woman was dancing, so you took off your shoes
Swayed together and you were free
The wind fell right over me
I almost feel free honey that’s for sure
And I don’t know what I came here for
I ain’t playing games so get off my back
If society’s a mansion I want to live in a shack
Maybe I’ll take off again. Sell my things like I did back then
The first car that takes me in, will be right where I begin
But wherever I will go is wherever I will be
So I’ll stay right here with her
Love is real when she’s with me

Losing Your Mind
05:03
|
|

I’m losing your hand, I feel it.
It turned on my own.
You’re losing your mind, I know it.
Your eyes are not yours
Where has my true love gone?
My heart is good
See for yourself, if only you could
I threw you a line, my dear
Right over the bow
No this Storm won’t stop, for no one
And where is my God now
If I have to let go, please know my heart
my heart
my heart is good
See for yourself
If only you could
I wish I could do something, I wish that I
I wish I could do something I wish that I could
It doesn’t matter that
my heart is good.
See for yourself. If only you could.
Baby my heart is good.

Statistically Speaking

Is there anything else, is there anything else?
No that’s all.
Say you have nothing left to tell.
Say you have nothing left to tell.
Well it’s been a few weeks,
It has been a few weeks.
Here I am.
You’re not thinking of me
So I cover my face, yea I cover my face. This is home,
But I can’t cry in this place, I cant cry in this place.
Is it gonna get worse? Is it gonna get worse? I can’t know
But Statistically Speaking
Because that’s how my mind works
How do I know if this is all worth it?
Is it so absolute?
Here I am
You’re not thinking
You are thinking of her

Dark Storm
04:18

Where is my sight I cannot seem to find it
The way I walk I do not recognize it
It was all easier
It was all easier
Do I need help
Well I cannot afford it. So I just go on punching walls
I’m solving it.
I’m solving it, I’m solving it.
I’m solving it. I’m solving it
I’m solving it
It’s like I’m running from a dark storm
Like I’m running from a dark storm
Am I ever gonna get home
Am I ever gonna get home
When will I see that all I need
Is right here
Right here
Like I’m running from a dark storm
Like I’m running from a dark storm
Am I ever gonna get home
Am I ever gonna get home.
O
Do I need help, well I cannot afford it.

Taught to Build Walls

I know so much about you
Why did you cut me out of your life
I thought that I had tough skin, I guess it’s just my skin
That you get right under, all of the time
I never want to let anyone else in, because this always happens time after time
I can’t understand why you cut me out of the your life.
I thought that I had good friends, turns out some aren’t good friends.
Turns out we’re just humans, all of the time
Like the earth and her seasons, there is but one winter
And this climate is changing now, all of the time
I can’t understand why you cut me out of your life
I want to dive in the river
Forget I’m a person
But then I get lonely for things I can’t have
We are Taught to Build Walls now
And have stronger boundaries but
We’re all seeking refuge most of the time
I can’t understand why you cut me out of your life.

Ireland Song

I see home in the wind
Blows through grass
On the hillside
I’m alone
Aren’t we all?
Holding hands
On the hillside
You will find me here in the morning light
I’m weary from raising this flag
I’ve been walking hundreds of miles on end
And I’m tired now
tired now
I am tired
How the birds know it well
When to sing and when to fly south bound
Do I reach out too far?
Even trees know when to stop reaching.
You will find me here in the morning light
I’m weary from raising this flag
I’ve been walking thousands of miles on end
And I’m tired now, tired now
I
How the man toils and toils
Just to stand tall
One day to fall down
And when I one day fall
May I be a bridge for another

Dancing in the Sun

I just skipped my brothers wedding
Because his lover once was mine, it’s complicated
When I was only a child, I’d tell all my teachers
I would ride on the backs of little dinosaurs I trained
Hey you can’t tell me that I’m acting out of place
This is my planet too, this is my planet too
I would take up all the cactus(i)
Put them in the pillow case of my little sis
What a dark child
Well my skin has always been tan
Is it because I am always in the sun
Oh no I am not in the darkness
It is now only dawning and I’m dancing in the sun
There was always quite the elephant inside my parents house
Right on the table
I don’t think it was a white one
It was so fantastic, very colourful
Hey you can’t tell me that I’m acting out of place
This is my planet too, this is my planet too
Oh no I am not in the darkness
It is now only dawning and I’m dancing in the sun
Oh no I am not in the darkness
It is now only dawning and
I’m dancing in the sun

When You Rise

In the morning when I rise, in the morning when I rise
I will find you, in the morning when I rise
Well a good friend is hard to find
Yea a good friend is hard to find
In the morning I will find you
When I rise
I met you long ago, many lifetimes this I know
We were flying
You’re my spirit
This I know
Oh you almost took your life
Said you did not feel quite right
I don’t either, I don’t either
Stand by me
In the morning when you rise
In the morning, you will rise
I will find you, I will find you. You will rise
