The Current
06:38

You don’t need it
To feel ok
Everything He does
Gets in the way
Look back on your life
Switching up roles
Trigger an earthquake
Plug in the holes
Feel the marrow of now
Eat the shoe off the clown
To be free of yesterday
Shake the yoke off everything
I don’t wanna be stuck in the current
Stuck in the stream of the worry
Everything can be so empty
Or it all could be a sign
A sign
Whenever I show up
Tottered in time
Feeling the grown up
Waver in wine
Feel the marrow of now
Eat the shoe off the clown
To be free of yesterday
Take the yoke off everything
I don’t want wanna be stuck in the current
Stuck in the stream of the worry
Everything can be so empty
Or it all could be a sign
A sign

World Now

gimme gimme rock salt
I wanna lick lick it off
like a cow cowing in the yard
a mouse brewing in the barn
if you need some
I’ve got some fun fun
in my backyard banging
out some holes they’re digging my bones
it’s our world now
gimme gimme some some
it’s our world now
I love it when you winter
in the coat in the hither
the moths hiding out inside
waiting till summer arrives
Batten down the hatches halls
holding up the inside walls
swimming through the big fall down
maybe drowning maybe alive
it’s our world now
gimme gimme some some
it’s our world now
A summer of love
The autumn bell tolls
Wasting away in the
shadows
Ice and snow cover
hay bale rolls
Hiding away in the
meadows
it’s our world now
gimme gimme some some
it’s our world now

Unmoored
03:59
|

Tethered to that bursting star
Defined by the things you are
A spider you’re floored you’re moored
Your web is self contained
Black hole sucking you in
Climbing, falling again
A rope holds your waist real tight
Self constructed heights
Move to a house on the hill
Snowed in sitting still
Hope for a break in the storm
No one’s left alone
Control you thought you had
Thin air just like you have
You want some time to spend
Outside your head
This heart
This heart
This ground
This ground
This heart
Is what you have
Staring at an empty floor
Find you another store
Move upstate to find
What you’re looking for
Walk in a straight line
Hope it buys you time
To figure out yourself
Why you’re this way
This heart
This heart
This ground
This ground
This heart
Is what you have

Alive
03:58
|
|||
Standing and staring at home
From a distance it looks like
A whole filling a hole
Or whatever
It sounds like
You seen from afar
You're here, you're alive
Floating and gliding above
From a distance it looks like
The wind sweeping the wind
It’s wrapping
The whole of you
Sitting in the breeze
You’re here, you’re alive

The Loss
03:40
|
|||
Send me alone to the golden zone
No stone unturned a lonely bone
If only you knew
How I knew about you
The mail in the sky arrives by train
and the car and the man who walks in vain
for weeks to find you
Help me to land on solid ground
no sight no smell
the loss the loss
standing alone
healing alone
in this studio world
the loss the loss the loss
temperamental
instrumental
in the fall
the blame we drive down
is a one way street
the feet we feel under
are gathering steam
to take us away
Help me to land on solid ground
no sight no smell
the loss the loss
standing alone
healing alone
in this studio world
the loss the loss
the loss

MitM
04:35
|
|||
I'm a man in the middle
tightrope on the line
hovering between two states
never knowing what's mine
You're performing your feelings
the crowd is singing in time
to affirm the condition
of always needing a sign
Face time for you is fleeting
mediated and dry
Your own blood is confusing
from your throne in the sky
I'm a man in the middle
wolfpack bleeding heart dry
You'll say I'm too hard or soft
it's nothing I can't hide

Undertow
06:12
|
|||
The walk we took in the way out woods,
you were talking about
Some bullshit you saw some things you read
I don’t remember the rest
A mist appeared
The shapes of trees
Some outlines you couldn’t see
A mountain rose in the distance
you were staring at your feet
Juggle of balls
The circus called
They said they’ve got your name
A crowd surrounds
And wonders aloud
If you've still got your game
Caught in the undertow
Don’t let it weigh you down
Like a river flow
And the whooshing underground
The people in town
In their dressing gowns
stood there, calling your name
In your mirrored ears
You can hear them still
They left before you came
Your hair was thin
You stood alone
Waiting for them to come back
When no one did
You weren't surprised
at the way they turned their backs
Caught in the undertow
Don’t let it weigh you down
Like a cannonball
With a big distracting sound
Caught in the undertow
Don’t let it weigh you down
Like a river flow
And the whooshing underground

The Rough
03:48
|
|
||
Someone's always stepping on my toes
We all know there's nowhere to go
Fighting for time and space in this place
Is futile is fucking in vain
Snowing or raining or sun
Who knows what today will become
Metaphors and analogs will fail
To describe when time and place set sail
Stand in place and you will be free
The wisdom of the century
Ignore the hail and bullets and the rough
Enduring all this laboring stuff
The markets and crowds have lost
The wisdom they had and trust
Freeways, land and sky,
The peaking of your high
Is this the time we finally say goodbye
To the piece of the piece of the pie
There could be more and more
Of what we have in store
