Welcome In

I meant all I said
And all I did
I was doing the best
I could do at the time
I remember the way
I used to try
Images they
Churn in my mind
I'm meeting myself
Just where I am
Shaking my hand
Welcoming in
"I'll be welcome"
So tear me down
Rip me apart
Spill my blood
Into the ground
Open me up
and see my heart
See how it beats
for everyone
I am nothing
I have no name
I am not what I have claimed
I have no claim to fame
There is no one else to blame
There is no need for shame
Just welcoming
Just welcoming
Welcome in

Down (To Love)
05:43
|
|||
|
I go out every once in a while
Trying to find that peace of mind
What I find though I've tried and I've tried
Is it can only be found inside
When I feel tired
Trying to point the finger
And blame everyone but myself
When I come home
Gotta face the truth
I can't hide I can't hide I can't hide
I've gotta breathe
gotta do the routine
And in time I think I'll come around
No more excuses
No more self abuses
I've really gotta settle down
Down down down
Or else in my ego I'll drown
I'm down down down
To love where I am right now

Horse Spit
04:08
|
|||
|
I watch the sun glow
Upon the tree line
Across the meadow
Against the gray sky
And in the horse eyes
I see the same light
It's held inside us
Our separate body types
I pick a clump of
The greenest grasses
I feed it to him
He shreds it with his teeth
We feel connected
He understands me
I feel my soul get
Mixed up with horse spit
Down to the stomach
Of the infinite
Oh how we're both full
Of so much horse shit
Soon I will return
To the earth mother
Through tubes of acid
Within the belly of the beast
Release
A pile of me
A flowing stream
Emitting steam

New Moon
02:58
|
|||
|
I was running down a dream
Trying to find my style
Until my soul began to scream
through a sunbeam smile
Then I started sprouting leaves
Baby soft and tender green
In the garden I can see
All the people I used to be
When the day breaks in my hand
Like a clump of earth
Then I start to understand
The loop of death and birth
And I'm carried on the wind
By a gust or with a bird
As a seed I see no point
In trying to prove my worth
New moon
I lay myself to rest
New moon
I lay myself to rest

Animal Heart
05:17
|
|||
|
Watch it all fade away into dust
Nothing but a skeleton of what it was
And you won't see these colors anymore
They have been replace by neon stores
Filled with backpacks
Made of plastic
Filled with machines
That keep us distracted
From ourselves
And from the world
We've created
We've destroyed
We cannot be entertained enough
Everyone always acting tough
I would like to see the green explode
And cover all the concrete that we've poured
Animal Heart
Human mind
Soul grow
And glow bright

Dame's Rocket
04:15
|

The dame's rocket in the field
Reminds me how I used to feel
The dame's rocket on the road
Reminds me how much I have grown
The vivid purple white and pink
Makes me feel and makes me think
Amidst spring green after the rain
She offers refuge from the pain
I seem to cause
myself
from time to time
I need help
And that's alright
We've all felt
Alone
At some point
In our lives
There go rockets out to space
Billionaires and toxic waste
They don't seem to understand
The perfection of this land
(we take for granted every day)
So the rich will fly away
And colonize another place
Leave us here we'll gladly stay
On the earth we'll sit and pray
And in time we'll decompose
The garden orb will eat our bones
With our loved ones hearts' ablaze
The only rockets that we'll need
Are the dames

World Awake
05:24
|
|||
|
Is this what it takes
For us to learn and see the way?
Is this what it takes
Watch the world burn away
It's so tough to shake
These visions of everything ending
And I think I may
Go out of my brain
I used to pray
Back when I was an angel kid
But then the malaise
No one could be trusted
I think it's ok
Learning to live within the flame
But don't get lost and afraid
You're not alone in your pain
I think we should save
Everything green and vibrating
With a pulse and a pace
Before it's too late
There's no time to waste
The world is awake

Kevin Knight recommends:
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.

A splendid folk-rock record that soars and swoops in all the places you'd want it to, sounding perfectly intimate in its most quiet points and unconquerably huge in its loudest, with beautiful, memorable melodies all throughout.
