Rest Easy

All this work thats piled up
Just a ladder to the sun
Watch the wings begin to melt
And the effort is undone
And I wanna rest easy
Give it your best they say
But what happens when the best rest
Comes at the end of days
Is the body just a cage
The mind has to escape
Or does every piece get mended
In a thundering of grace
Start giving it all away
I’m brushing off this dead weight
I’m riding the summer breeze
And dreaming bout you and me
I’m living for more than stuff
I sail when the waters rough
I’m skipping on holiday
Don’t care what the poets say
I’m gonna rest easy (3x)

Gold Standard

Deliver me from familiar
I need more than free silver
It keeps turning me green
I just can’t get with the scene
I wanna bring down the pillars
These days nothing lasts forever
No not even the ring
I thought it was a permanent tether
Not a ticket to the next best thing
Deliver me from familiar
I need more than free silver
It keeps turning me green
I just can’t get with the scene
I wanna bring down the pillars
I need something to stand on
Theres no chance this is random
Is an honest dollar anywhere
In love and war, laissez-faire
Someone give me that gold standard
Can everything, mean anything
Doesn’t nothing come from emptiness
Who makes up the rules
Who’s at large
Have we tied up our lovers arms
Can everything mean anything
Doesn’t nothing come from emptiness
Who determines truth
Who’s in charge
It can’t be us
We sold the farm
Deliver me from familiar
I need more than free silver
It keeps turning me green
I just can’t get with the scene
I wanna bring down the pillars
I need something to stand on
Theres no chance this is random
Is an honest dollar anywhere
In love and war, laissez-faire
Someone give me that gold standard

We're On Fire
04:23

Lets get out of the city
Find a nice plot of land
Sometimes the things to hold onto
Won’t fit inside of your hands
Is this what it takes
Making good on a promise
Gotta pull up the stakes
Let’s go climb on the altar
Lets go kick at the darkness
Prove the monsters wrong
Sometimes the thing that you can’t find
Was hiding there all along
Is this what it takes
Making good on a promise
Got a pool of mistakes
Let’s go climb on the altar
We’re on fire and wasting time
We’re on fire and wasting time
Birds on wire, they seem fine
But we’re on fire
Lets go walk on the water
Forget about best laid plans
Sometimes the thing that you need most
You just cant quite understand
Is this what it takes
Making good on a promise
Gotta pull up the stakes
Let’s go climb on the altar
Is this what it takes
Making good on a promise
Got a pool of mistakes
Let’s go climb on the altar

Is this what I saw before I was born
Buried in you like iron in earth
What can I do to get this feeling restored
Close my eyes
And see light
This feels like
A child waking
Up inside
The first time
I’m just like
A child waking up
What was it like there in the void
Echoes alive, nothing destroyed
Everything new, just a lingering voice
Close my eyes
And see light
This feels like
A child waking
Up inside
The first time
I’m just like
A child waking up
When the pressure’s on
It’s dark within
A ray of light
A form given
And I have to know
What’s really happening
Where’s the world?
Could this be it?
Close my eyes
And see light
This feels like
A child waking
Up inside
The first time
I’m just like
A child waking up

Whatever
02:43

Whatever flies off the shelf
Whatever’s on the lapel
Whatever staves off the bell
Whatever
Whatever swims in the tank
Whatever hideous strength
Whatever fattens the bank
Whatever
Whatever grows on the tree
Whatever’s up on the screen
You know it’s not what it seems
Whatever
What lies beneath the latest trend
What supplies the hearts demand
Are there means to greater ends
Replace me with a better man
Whatever rolls back the curse
Whatever wakes up the dirt
Whatever coins in the purse
Whatever
Whatever comes on the wind
Whatever puts light within
Whatever seeks out the sin
Whatever
Whatever makes me a friend
Whatever opens the pen
If you’re wondering when
The sooner the better!
Now more than ever
Do whatever

Thinking Things

Well I may not be an Oxford don
But I’d like to think therefore I’m not
Does a buffered bluff block the view
Of thoughtless me incarnate you
Who thought to put the cart before the horse
Who fought who to muddle up the source
Who knows how to pair the body with the mind
Tell me now was that your idea or mine
Well I may not be an Oxford don
But I’d like to think therefore I’m not
Does a buffered bluff block the view
Of thoughtless me embodied you
And I may not win a noble prize
But dabbed with dirt I see the light
The musings of the heart’s estate
The premise of a glory weight
Hold up now you got my head doin somersaults
All that winter brings forth the summer thaws
Aren’t we greater than just a sum of thoughts
(We’re not merely) thinking things

Nightshades

Like the sun on the stairs
Proof that you’re there in the shadows
Turning pages
Let me retrace my steps
Whenever I went in the shadows
You were waiting
At the prime of life
Am I robbed of years?
I’m a shepherds tent
Just a thread of tears
As the dove that mourns or the lion’s roar
And I can’t tell which I relate to more
Like the sun on the stairs
Proof that you’re there in the shadows
Turning tables
Let me retrace my steps
Whenever I went in the shadows
You were waiting

I heard a voice on the wind
No I couldn’t say when
It lit a fervor within
Now I couldn’t pretend
But I’m a delicate reed
Don’t break the stem
I’m professing belief
Let the spirit descend
In the sound asleep
In the midst of the night
When I’m in my dreams
When the timing’s right
On the temple floor
When the day is done
What you can’t ignore
You can’t outrun
Would you call me again
Like a voice on the wind
I’m a flickering flame
Don’t snuff the wick
Just call me again
You know I’m listening in
Decipher the depths
I can’t comprehend

Out Of The Blue
04:33

Notice me
Noticing you
I’d know this place
If my eyes were glued
So notice me
Noticing you
For a bout of fame
I’d jump through hoops
Another buzz another screen
Another score of dopamine
Does anybody know my name
Obscurity’s a losing game
The push and pull, no one’s immune
Outside the spinning echo booth
The world’s aglow beneath the moon
If we would only notice it
Notice me
Noticing you
I’d know that face
With no password clue
So notice me
When something’s new
Cuz it’s been years
I’m still scrolling through
Take me far from the madding crowd
Search inside and find me out
Cuz I’m not made of hardy stock
And I can hardly help myself
All my nights have alibis
I’ve been climbing up the slide
All my wounds are cauterized
Is nothing left to mesmerize?
I’m drowning all my senses here
I’m drowning all my senses here
You make breakers disappear
But I’m drowning here
Notice me
Not missing you
The world was hiding
In plain view
So notice me
Out of the blue
The feeds the same
But the creatures new
No “woe is me”
Just solitude
This parting gift’s
Long overdue
No this ain’t me
To tell the truth
I’d leave that place
If I were you

Modern Minute
03:26

I cannot keep up this pace
When did all my days turn into a race
Am I living or just passing away
I need endurance, the kind that won’t fade
Someone give me just a second to,
Catch my breath, redeem this present tense
The dials moving and the hands they keep on ticking
But I once heard, "to die is gain", now that’s the ticket
This here is not a dead sprint
I’m dizzy and the wheels are spinning out
I’m tired of the modern minute now
Let’s push against the mayhem
Maybe then we can pacify these doubts
I’m letting up the pace and slowing down
Don’t hurry to the exit
The blur is coming into focus now
Listen how a whisper makes a sound
Hold steady for a moment
Let’s marvel at the mystery, somehow
There’s nothing left unforgiven now
I’m tired, I’m so so tired
I’m tired of the modern minute now
