THE LOVE OF A MOTHER
04:00
|
|||
tired eyes floundering
enough searching there is no need
see I've cracked it the solution
to all life's misery
the love of a mother is all you need
fallen hearts please take heed
it can truly be so easy
to miss the forest for the trees
to overlook one simple blessing
the love of a mother is all you need
shaky hands reach out to me
an idea an ideal of pure energy
it's restorative and enveloping
the origin of your being
the love of a mother is all you need

1K YEARS OF SLEEP
05:15
|
|||
i'd give anything to sleep for a thousand years
a thousand waves crashing down down down
upon a single stone
please stop the ride, I need to get off
you see I’m spinning, I don’t know how to stop
the indecisions, are piling up
and long division, is cutting me down
do you carry, a mortal wound?
well I don’t know anything about that, just need a bed and a room
see I’d give anything to sleep for a thousand years
a thousand waves crashing down down down
upon a single stone
i'd give anything to sleep for a thousand years
a thousand arrows shot into
a thin white sheet

HOME OWNERS ASSOC.

*shbop shbop*
at first I admired the property improperly
the idea it was all held up by some great machinery
chugging chugging chugging along
next I got on by mowing the lawn
appreciating the severity of getting it gone
keep those paving stones bleach blonde
keep those lines finely drawn
chugging chugging chugging along
now I see it's no great mystery
we're all just beating back tides from the sea
no organic matter could shoulder the indignity
of a single cell burning to be free
chugging chugging chugging along
*shbop shbop*

GOOD NIGHT MOON
04:03
|
|||
the moon a star a night whistling with light
the moon two stars a night shot full of light
oh what a night
oh hey sky
thanks for coming by
a playing card a bullfight a night a diamond of light
a diamond of light
a diamond of light
a diamond of light
a moon three stars a night a window a light
a diamond of light
a diamond of light
a diamond of light

SHY TEETH
04:37
|
|||
i am waiting waiting waiting
for a white ship to appear
and there is around the clock combing
a helpless little lip back
only to return and audibly despair
i'm in awe of the precarious planktonic plates
that are slipping and crashing back there
i am reduced to nineteen ninety-two
can he come out and play?
shy teeth
like a bleached white
great barrier reef
that is ringing out loud
just underneath
a half drum of
glowing wet and pink
oh can he come out and play?
hell you made stonehenge look like a diorama
a still shadow cast over your prodigal giza
wait come back! she didn't mean it poor lemuria
your slope giving pause to a tower in pisa
shy teeth
like a bleached white
great barrier reef
that is ringing out loud
just hidden underneath
a half drum of
glowing wet and pink

CAST-OFF
03:57
|
|||
memories flashing twisting in pain
waking up screaming calling out your name
i want you to hold me
i want you to hold me
i want you to hold me
wrapping paper torn open feet hitting the ground
sitting and listening to the conch shell sound
you're free as a sailor
you're free as a sailor
you're free as a sailor out to sea

ANOTHER YEAR
04:13
|
|||
roughly six million dead
still can't wrap my head around it
countless others immiserated
or driven into predatory debt
another,
another year oh no no
people out in the streets
demanding an end to the killing spree
the response cold to say the least
somehow always, more money for police
another,
another year oh no no
the political will is worse
old men slow walking into apocalypse
just keeping up with appearances
and stealing from your children
another,
another year oh no no
I'm back
back against the wall

SAD DADDY
03:41
|
|||
i've been feeling sad daddy
sometimes feeling big mad daddy too
feel like the world's caddie
stepped into a bigger daddy's shoes
me oh my me oh my
that's quite a sky
i hadn't had a chance to go outside
me oh my me oh my
that's quite a pie
shimmering shrouded sugary sky
time is moving slow now
every second a swollen sharpened sound
feel the intervals creep out
wipe away and melt into your mouth
me oh my me oh my
that's quite a sky
i hadn't had a chance to go outside
me oh my me oh my
that's quite a pie
shimmering shrouded sugary sky
i've been feeling sad daddy
sometimes feeling big mad daddy too
feel like the world's caddie
stepped into a bigger daddy's shoes

WHEN THE KIDS GO TO BED
04:38
|
|||
it's fighting, it's fighting all the time
and the tree line never looked so fine
it's kicking
it's screaming
there's kisses
planted on foreheads
it's fighting, fighting all the time
and the tree line never looked so fine
but when the kids go to bed
i can try to fix my head
it's fighting, so we made a rule not to fight
and the fingers
are pushing pieces through our mouth
and i'm hopeful
just might be the medicine
when a tree falls
and completely does my head in
and when the kids go to bed
i can try to fix my head
