Make Believe

Woke up from a lazy dream
and just for a brief moment
thought I knew everything
I'm transfixed, something's put me under
guaranteed I'm convinced
someones up to something
and I don't know who to believe
I just don't know who to believe
i just don't so i'll just make believe
These shadows that follow
my every move
carry with it a darkness
I thought that i'd removed
I woke up pulled myself together
I had to move alone
pressed play on the digital receiver
while my body moved to this song
(it) said wake up
and move it along
(it) said wake up
no no no this day ain't done
The sun is constantly at battle with the moon on the rise
they both can exist if you keep an open state of mind
you just need something to occupy
don't think just move (your) intuition will be your guide
(it says) wake up
and move it aside
said wake up
and let your shadow fall into the night
I said the yin, the yang
you're getting me so tied up again
I said the yin, the yang
you're getting me so tied up again
I just don't know who to believe
I just don't know who to believe
I just don't know who to believe
I just don't so I'll just make believe

Break Wither Settle
06:16

I'm balancing here on the flake of a pedal
and I'm wondering wondering if it'll break wither or settle
now I'm on solid ground and I've been looking around
with no direction but with an ear to the ground
I'm listening for the sound waves now
I'm balancing here on the edge of all this silence
and I'm wondering how a quiet heart could build the fire to ignite it
or fight it or mind it but you yeah you got it
tell me you... do you got it
hey, ha ha hey hey ha ha hey hey....
San Isabel from a tower you fell to your death
and all your shades of green organically becoming me
and it's true yeah it's true that we are all one
yeah it's true hey it's true we are all one
with everything with everything
stay fly supporting me stay still while i draw your wings
I feel like a fallen leaf... just need to turn back to a seed (repeat)
(repeats first verse)
like clouds our thoughts reshape and then they disappear
but the molecules the molecules that build them are still here (repeat)
|

I disappeared into
the thought of being one with you
we could take any path we choose
following the light of an orange moon
Is it too soon I wonder when the curtains open
will I anticipate my main attraction
Pour me some of your sunshine
you know I'll bathe in it every time
yeah it's warm and chill at the very same time
steal the words you need with a glass of wine
just in time you see with your line of thought
add the symmetry keeping my mind on the clock

Cold
cold as ice
your body's warm
so move it in closer
calm is your heart
your eyes aware of your surrounding
said go to where you're from
you may not know 'till you get there
but know that when you feel
'oh I know you cannot hide it
so please be at one
and just leave a trail of bread crumbs
you know I was right in front of your eyes the whole time
calm is your heart yeah your eyes are wide
said go to where your from you may not know
until you get there oh until you get there

I'm swimming through sheets and i'm twisting in dreams
and i'm not sure what's wrong or right in front of me
but i'll sing it again...(two times with musical break between)
I'll swear out loud
I'm surrounded by a love i've found
It's all i see and written in the stars aligning now
but my feet are roots in the ground
how how can I set free all of me
I just gotta know can it be
I feel the atmosphere around me growing dense
with a flash come mother earths' explosions
I smell the rain then I feel it on my face
no i can't explain neurotransmitters inside my brain
forming all I know but there it goes out the window
it was within reach all of me
I just want to know can we grow
I just want to be all of me
it's all i want it's all I need it's everything you're everything
under the sun we are all one with everything yeah everything
information a little love it's everything it's everything
it's all I want it's all I need to be as good as I can be
it's all I want
it's all I need
it's everything
it's you and me
it's all I know
it's all I believe
under the sun
it's all of me
we're singing ohhh ooh oo ahhhh
It's all I know
it's all I believe
under the sun
it's all of me
It's all I know
it's all I believe
but I cannot see straight
ah but I'll wait for the clouds to slowly reshape

Been here once before had my foot in the door
hey i'm trying i'm biding my time comes as a shock
i've been picking at this lock
but it's no use see it's immune are you
said i'm pickin' but it's no use it's immune
i feel like a plant i cannot move
away from this one place
it's all i am it's all i've been
i'm diggin' pulling myself out
from within from within from within
i'm fishin' through an empty hole
trying to fit into a tiny pinhole
but i've downed another bottle
now i am headed for this blackened asphalt
ah i'm headed for this blackened asphalt
oh i'm headed, headed, headed, headed
headed, headed awe I'm headed headed now
i'm headed for this blackened asphalt

Energy Required
05:01
|

I am who i am
carbon based mixed with oxygen
throw in some sin
stare into mirrors
map out a plan
you gotta make something to break
the more you put in the brighter the display
all the colors you've carefully arranged
you gotta tear 'em apart and rearrange
gotta disappear to find yourself again
and the fault that have build up your fears
will wash away with time and tears
well the darkest part of the night won't hide
the light that burns through me
all the darkest parts of me
It don't have to be ideal
when the time is right everything will become clear
to itself and to you just you will know
you got the truth
when the sun burns it out of you
hold it up pass it down to the youth
hold it close feel your heart beat for you
now the darkest parts of the mind
can't hide the light that burns through you
all the darkest parts of you
now the light that burns our shadows into earth
is the light bringing life and good news (x2)
the energy required to make or break a bond
is at just the appropriate level for building molecules
this microscopic dust is stable life
and if provoked it will respond
your formula is just as flawed
and i know it could be all for you
and i know it comes down to just you
well the darkest part of the mind can't hide
the light that burns for you
all the darkest parts of you
all the darkest parts of you
the light that burns this darkest through the earth
is the light that now burns for you.

Puzzle Pieces

I see a vision and you are in it
mind waves rippling though
i'm staring off into space like it's science
oh and I am enthused
i've been around and around and around
and around and around my head
too many times to think twice
about pulling you in
we fit together like a jigsaw puzzle
we fit together like a jigsaw
we fit together like a jigsaw puzzle
we fit together like a jigsaw puzzle
woo hoo, waa haaa, woo hoo, hey yeah....
wherever you go you know i'll follow
through body or mind
you're mine now love
i love, i love you now
woo hoo, waa haaa....
experimental eyes are twisting and they are turning
and even though they are closed they are leading the way
we fit together like a jigsaw puzzle
we fit together like a jigsaw
we fit together like a jigsaw puzzle
we fit together like a jigsaw puzzle
woo hoo, waa haaa....
wherever you go you know i'll follow
through body or mind
you're mine now love
I love you so and it's out of control
when you feel that beat know it's possible
when you know what I know it's for sure
we fit together like a jigsaw...
I see a vision and you are in it.

Outer Universe
08:58
|

|
(spoken word: quote I derived out of an old journal I found in my parents attic)
It's a subtle warming glow reminiscent of a dream
you can energize your thoughts inside out and in-between
it's a calibrated motion seldom few have seen
it's something one can know once their eyes can truly see.
Come on and map a new route
come on and map a new route
come on and map a new route
come on come come on. (repeats)
I wanna find me a new situation
something unfamiliar something I'm forced to question
I wanna find me out in nature
wanna speak to the wind and hear all the answers (x2)
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
where you grow a bean stock to the outer universe and
shatter the space around you
come on and map out your own route, your own route
a dry leaf if a minuscule thing
dry skin on the hand becomes the dust on the ceiling fan
a broken heart could become a work of art
hell, a map to a new start, a perspective of sorts and...
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
where you grow a bean stock to the outer universe and...
Take your seeds to the center of the earth
where you move creative thought to the outer universe
you can spread your love or you can sing a verse
see past the haze and go and show them what you're worth
It's a subtle warming glow reminiscent of a dream
you can energize your thoughts inside out and in-between
it's a calibrated motion seldom few have seen
it's something one can know once their eyes can truly see
I wanna find me a new situation
something unfamiliar, something I'm forced to question
I wanna find me out in nature
speak to the wind and hear all the answers (repeats)

Doorway

Wait in doorways
Keep me halfway sane
Hold on to love
I want nothing more
Take a step into the fog
Ghost in doorways
Keep me almost sane
It's only as real
as it's meant to be
Reflected from your eyes
It's your energy
Let it all just flow
and be free
Fool me
Haunt hearts
fool me
