Hear The Blooms

These are the days I feel most alive
Sometimes I’m counting the ones 'til I die
With all the new spring blossoms around
I’m no longer wearing that heavy frown
And just as sure as I’m reborn
Whether I’m rich or totally poor
I won’t go cave diving no more
Yeah i won’t go
Sinking off shore
I won’t go cave diving no more
Yeah, I won’t go sinking off shore
So on some spring afternoon
You can find me asleep in the field
Listening in
To “Hear the blooms”
Waiting to bathe in the light of the moon.

It’s time to wake up
To rise from your slumber
And with you I’ll rise
I’ve been sleeping for too long.
I’ve heard you called an angel
And you’re very far from dead
You thrive in disaster
Bringing color to the bed
Upon looking closer
Your face I know quite well
As a kid I tried to eat you
Cuz I thought you’d give me wings
Yeah I’ve heard you called “Archangel”
As you rise from the dead
You thrive in disaster
Bringing color to the bed
With you comes the others
The rain, the sun, and the green
Underneath the water rushes
And above the world is serene
All animal mothers
Arise from their beds
All animal lovers
And young ones lift their heads
I’ve heard you called “Archangel”
As you rise from the dead
You thrive in disaster
Bringing color to the bed

With The Ash

Where are you?
Are you still living on that farm?
Or are you living in your car again?
Yesterday your mother called
She sounded tired, she sounded hurt
She asked if I knew where you were
I told her “yes” and “not to worry”
But I don’t know for real
I just don’t know
I never know…
Are you on drugs again?
Are you drinking every night?
Are you still stealing?
Do you make people run and hide?
How many lives do you have left?
Are you some kind of cat?
Or a vampire bat?
Where are you?
Someday I hope you and I can meet
In a place of peace
And get our songs to tape
Someday I hope you and I can sit
On a porch somewhere
In our rocking chairs
And laugh at the world
As it’s scorched and turned.
We’ll wither away
With the ash
in our pipes.

Everyday when the sun sets
I remember when I woke up
And I took in my first breath
And I gave my legs a stretch
I’m so glad to be here with you
In my arms
Where it’s safe and it’s warm
Inside our home
We are flanked by animals
And surrounded by plants in pots
We are living in love
It wakes us up
Cuz the dreams I had last night
Were not so soft
The dreams I had last night
Were long and cold and dark
Marigold strung up on the bed
As we ease into the fall
And my heart is not as full of fear
As it’s been before
In the cold is when we see our breath
And we hold each other’s hands
I will try to keep you warm at night
And fill you up with light
The flames they climb
Up to the trees
They touch the sky

Lilac Wind
03:56
|

|
Seeping through the window
And the screened in back porch
Animals are dreaming on the cool wooden floor
Coffee is in the kitchen and my baby is my best friend
Spring is here again with lilac wind
Spring is here again with lilac wind
There’s no need to feel so anxious
And no need to feel so blue
Let the sunshine warm you and the flowers cover you
Every single morning is a chance to start anew
Spring is here again with lilac wind
Spring is here again with lilac wind
Spring is here again with lilac wind
Spring is here again with lilac wind
Now the rain it keeps a falling
And the creeks are filling in
Rushing toward the lakes that we will soon be swimming in
And every single evening when the moon is on the horizon
Spring is here again with lilac wind
Spring is here again with lilac wind

Unexpected Angel
03:08

I never thought you would be the one
The one to save us
All the angels I’ve known
Well, they were just children or animals…
But your eyes are like water
filling up the basin in my heart
And your hair is a forest
Giving us shelter from the storm
We’re in true form
Now I carry a candle
When I go down to the depths
And I look in the eyes
Of the faceless doom we all call death
And i’ll say:
“I’m not the boy with a broken down brain and an empty chest…
I’m 10 feet tall and I’m filled with a light you can’t ingest
be my guest, i need a good laugh”
I need a good laugh

Electrically charged surges of lo-fi hard candy. Cultural vomit seeping out of a dust-caked bedroom window, riding sunbeams. A gem of work, quick and to the point from a true VA tape-head.
