The future was hard to see
but now it's bright blue in front of me
If love is all we need
then why be so afraid?
If love is all we need
keep yours safe, surrounding
If love is all we need...
If love is all we need...

Sweet Distractions

You can save the requiem for all the things we know won’t last
You can spend too much time in one life wrestling with the past
It's always had a strange pull on me, now opportunity’s calling
I can’t just pretend I don’t hear it ringing in my ear
My love, you should know
This love can overflow
And spill through unopened doors
Takes time to know what for
I come outta my head sidesteppin your sweet distractions
When every thought in my head’s tryna forecast your reaction
Keeps me from making up my mind
I try to think what it’d be like if I don’t ever run away
You know I need a change
My love, you should know
This love can overflow
And spill through unopened doors
Takes time to know what for
We sat out drinking on the porch when the weather was getting hotter
I lit one up and and told everybody "you gotta drink more water!"
Wondered which song I could play for you
Something real or something new
Or just the same one we’ve been singing all along:
Your love’s the only love I’ve ever known
It’s safe, surrounding, pulling me back home
My love, you should know
This love can overflow
And spill through unopened doors
In time you'll know what it's all for

Glass Bouquet

Thought I was too young to have my body breaking
a little bit worse each time I’m waking up
for another day underpaid, I’m losing focus
All these things holding me back don’t act like motivation
In a beating fire sun, I’m midnightspeak
A privileged case of millennial ennui
It can take so long to craft a glass bouquet
to hold it in my hand and watch it break
And likewise in my mind
I’m deeper all the time
When I can’t stop breaking down
fade outta the background
My mind spinning round
I don’t make a sound
A dangerous reality is sinkin in it seems
We’re watching the world burn behind computer screens
And to plainly see there is no truth to liberty
Its a glass bouquet
It’s gonna break in time
How can freedom ring here
when everyone is crushed by debt or fear?
There will come a day when all our worn out souls will sing
and this whole world could even mean nothing
Cuz we’re all gonna die
Its like that in my mind
We’re all gonna die...

Drink (From the Spout)

Sometimes I like to feel the water run
from the Source thru my cupped hands
I’m waking up, I see things as they are
I’m questioning my every plan
With age my eyes have been changed
I’m in the river in the rain
In one eye I see the hourglass
In fractals just below my feet
Thoughts of love and loss begin to pass
When jet black wings up and carry me
Through seven shades of sundown
Straight through a small hole in the ground
When I hear voices call down for me
Remembered friends I had to meet
With age their eyes have been changed
I’m in the river in the rain
Infinite stream, set me free
I’m in the river in the rain
Back where we started, we return
To exchange thoughts on what we learned
I saw him cry about our dead friend and I
Wondered if my well ran dry
With age our eyes have been changed
I’m in the river in the rain
Infinite stream, set me free
I’m in the river in the rain
Infinite stream, set me free
I’m in the river in the rain

Smokestack

I didn’t know him like that
No, I never knew him like that
I saw him once on a basement floor, shuddered and closed the door
We didn’t know him like that
No, we never knew him like that
It’s a lie we tell ourselves to think we played no part in it
Now I just have these images of times when we were young
I heard you smokestack cavalier
I thought you’d lost your mind
but it was just your way of living fast and curious all the time
Ran round a van in wintertime
You and I left behind
It was awkward then, but the first time that I saw you as a friend
Now I just have these images of times when we were young
The others in the same boat too
Don’t believe a word they tell you
They look you in the eyes and say “this thing ain’t goin down”
Turn your back, they drill another hole
I just have these images of times when we were young
