Mellifluous

Lyrics:
I hold the sea, in my dreams
As honey in my canteen.
It swings from my neck as I walk the waves,
A holy relic made of everything I crave.
The sun changes shape to stand by my side.
Her golden reflection in the water is my guide.
The clouds dissolve, the current's circling
I drink from my canteen
The sea drinks from me...and she swallows me...

Insects

Lyrics:
There are insects crawling ‘cross the floor
Don’t look down, you don’t sleep there anymore.
Your body has risen to the air
Don’t look back, my love, nobody’s there.
There are holes in the linen of your gown—
What a shame, it used to be a pretty thing.
It’s good attire for where you’re going now
Don’t look back, don’t look down.
There are flowers growing ‘tween your teeth,
It’s a thing to behold when your silence speaks.
Love them, leave them, you yourself are free—
Free to change, free to leave.
The other worlds are waiting.
Take the coins from your eyes, fledgling.
The only thing you need is your (heavy) soul,
Leave your body, let the bugs crawl.
There is sunlight slipping through the leaves,
The smell of oranges on the breeze.
If you follow, you know where it leads
Don’t be afraid, follow me.

Long Distance Lullaby
01:22
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Is it cold? Is it cold where you are?
'Cuz I will send the heat from distant stars
To warm your veins.
Is there dust? Is there dust and sand in your heart?
'Cuz I will send the mists and salt of the sea
To cleanse your soul.
Horrors may happen
Horrors may happen
And ghosts may take the stage,
But do not give in to the age of gloom and solitude.

Songspell #1- For Beauty
00:31
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Away in the willows, the sun shines.
There's so many lost ones, so many alive.
I can be as golden, as glowing, as knowing,
If I can induce them to then begin flowing through me.

I Didn't Leave Her
01:58
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
I left her face on the fireplace,
underneath the back porch, and inside my pillow case.
I left her there, I left her everywhere
Cuz I didn't leave her.
I kept her words on the answering machine,
in the magnets on the fridge, in the braille on the ceiling.
I kept her there, I kept her everywhere
Cuz I couldn't keep her.
And the day you told me I'd never see your face again still rips me up inside
And the way you left me for dead, you left me blue with nothing else to do but hide-
So I'll hide.
I saw her face in my dreams last night.
We were out on the pier, in the salt and the sunlight.
I saw her there, I see her everywhere
Cuz I'm not seein' her.
She took my hand, she took my heart,
my hopes and dreams, and tore them apart.
She took me then, and left me here...
But I didn't leave her.

Lyrics:
I stand alone, in the heat of an ancient sun
I lose control, and my body is ragged.
I see the souls of the ones who have come before
Like I, to fall soon hereafter.

Poppies
01:11
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Poppies are the drug of love
To sleep, perchance to dream
But never love.
Nothing stays a secret for long,
Even if you tie it up with a red ribbon...
Poppies do no prisoners take
We all must answer to the Lady of the Lake.

goldenhour
03:09
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
My heart is made of glass and gold
And I lay in the field and glow.
I am floating up to the tops of the mountains, where I’ll sit and watch the sun-
No clouds on the horizon.
I don’t need anyone.. I’m just a reflection.
But when I want to, I know where to find you…

The Friend Song
01:55
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
You are the face I long to see
You are so far away from me
But we live together in the forest of my mind
In an apartment made of a tree; the mists roll by.
And the silence rings
We could be anything
You've swallowed up my soul,
And now
My every thought seems to be about you...
I've known you for so long
It's about time I wrote you a song
'Cuz you make me feel so at home.
Your soul is the sea, and your mind is the foam.

The Sleeping Giant
01:55
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
He sleeps in the mountain, cedared and warm,
A blanketing fog under the crook of his arm.
Rain, rain, rain.
Looking out the window, through rivulets of water
Slipping down the rooftop, spilling past the gutter.
Rain, rain rain.
Giant sleeps in valley deep
-ly dreaming of golden haze
and days gone by.
