New As The Moon
05:33
|

when i wake up in the morning
i will feel new
new as the moon
shown deep the unseen
i'll make myself lemon water
i will feel whole
whole as the rain
i'll wash myself clean
the ground under my soles
won't be so cold
won't feel so strange
i'm ready to give myself this change
and find the love i need to set me free
i know it's somewhere here in me
i know
we have the love we need to set us free
i know i feel it here in me
i know
it looks like we've all gone viral
all on our own left to rebuild
i'm feeling the world
where the ground under our soles
won't be so cold
won't feel so strange
it's time that we give ourselves this change
we have the love we need to set us free
i know i feel it here in me
i know
we have the love we need to set us free
as abundant here as you and me
i know
our love is gonna set us free
impossible for anybody
to own

Prisms
04:46

i've a sense i can't contain though
i had to hide it well
there's a loss deeper than i've known myself
beyond the pale
taciturn
as the streets i take to my house
suffocate the soil
i know a part of me's been razed
and a part of me is the bulldozer
sometimes i'm broken open like a prism
bends the direction of the light to show its true colors
and i see apparitions
arsing specters
taught to neglect them
so i sink a little deeper
well i fell here by the wayside
where i dusted off and lumbered along
all the promise all the languages
written off as good as gone
it's just the cost to be so civilized
like plastic oceans and full prisons
and if the bombs fall out of earshot
why on earth should i pause to pay a look?
you know we're broken open like a prism
bends the direction of the light to show its true colors
you know the apparitions
beyond the spectrum
still reach our senses
when we dig a little deeper

A Song For Martin Selig
03:56
|

we're here to mark you
as one of us
we're here to call you
into השם
we're here to remind you
of what you had to come from
have you forgotten?
we said this could be never again
my god have you forgotten?
we're here to remind you
of those years in the desert
what were we
who were we
back then?
we're here to remind you
we said this never could be again
my god have you forgotten?
we're here to remind you
that nobody needs papers
no bodies need papers
a landlord for the secret police
my god you have forgotten

Where You Were
03:04
|
|||
will you stay where you were
after the ground has shifted
and exposed the rot in the roots and the seeds
sold misgivings
what do i know when i feel the sun?
when i feel the air and the breath in my lungs?
where i need to grow and where i'm growing from?
where we need to grow and where we're growing from?
yeah i know a new world has come
welcome every body home
come ground yourself
it's time we tend the garden
weeds need pulling out

Inside The House
01:51
|
|||
i worked inside the house
i should've been out
out with all the grit
out with all the clout
out with all the meek
i should let it all out
i'll work inside my house

Fault Lines (Acoustic)
03:16
|
|||
my body's still a mystery
from other bodies' histories
my veins lain
my fortune runs within
there comes a richness in my skin
inherent in the life i live
in country copped
and suited for white men
and now the ground is thundering
with the trauma we keep plundering
there's no strength in hiding all the wrongs we've made
forgetting the faults won't keep the earth from quaking
if not a noose then a knee
or the bloodlines drawn by the banks
will our hearts always be broke
in the same way?

You Won't Stop Buzzing
04:22
|
|||
the day you left
i told you i would always be open to your spirit
and the true strength of our connection
and i said i would go to alaska
and take you with me
and you don’t need your body
for us always to be together in some way
but the truth is
i feel i have been neglecting this promise to you
by closing myself off from intuition
distracting myself with television
as my only means of falling asleep
or else i am buzzing
today i went on a walk with a friend
in the wind
and i like this friend a lot
'cause she makes me look deeper at everything
i noticed a cherry tree
though i must have seen it a hundred times
and while the wind blew my cap off
she said spirits come to her all of the time
and just like that
i felt you were as close as you’ve ever been
the veil pulled off and tangled in the blossoms
then i knew what i’ve known
but i get so distracted
i miss your spirit in bloom
when all i need is to notice it
you won’t stop buzzing

The Troughs In Waves
04:07
|
|||
we're all wired and tired
i've been lit up like a time bomb after it explodes
i'm all over
sometimes i can't get past
the troughs in waves
i need to find that path
another way
it's always against the current
i'm wintered
bare as the trees
i branched out
broke with the stream
i was looking for the future but it's on the run
from everyone
i was looking for the future but it's on the run
i know i need to ground myself
but i keep looking for the future but it's on the run
how do i ground myself without one?
but i keep looking for the future but it's on the run
i keep looking for the future

Bloom
03:42
|
|||
and the first night i felt your glow
we both held stones with candles on
i let you know
our friendship then three years old
i was feeling trust and finally ready to move forward
from once a wound and now a growth
a path alight by work now shone
where once before i wouldn’t dare go
and then you asked we share all of our fears and all our hopes
and we listened and we spoke
and i asked for your hand to hold
and open raw i felt your palms
pull me into the heart of your being
so curious illuminating empathetic radiating
all your masculinity femininity queerness vulnerability
as your soul pooled into the depths of me
and i knew
your light was a new moon
surrounding me in orbit a cocoon
a protection spell a transformation
seeds sowed in the ground
now we give it time
to bloom
