Time to Wake 09:13
Now that you’re gone I hear a bird calling beautiful tones I’ve been trying to call you Would you write a song for me Was supposed to be a local I want it gone by tomorrow morning Forget Me Oxy Always starts like this Two hunters lying low Wonderful at risk with secrets letting go Beautiful tones Now it comes to distance Hiding way below No one will know Find the best life Fight the white lies Exhausted excuses, I’m tired We’ve exhausted all excuses I want it gone by tomorrow Now that you’re gone

Reminder 05:13
I’m missing something we can talk about it through landscapes of the earth where my feet can feel him Like lines up in the sky, treasures taken Passing without notice like you did the other day But we leave it hollowed with no goodbye Trees fallen sideways will nourish life I’ve planted seeds of sorrow when no one knows what really dies Don’t get busy Simple grieving Hollowed with no goodbye Trees fallen sideways will nourish life I’ve planted seeds of sorrow when no one knows what really dies Don’t get busy Simple healing

Follow Me 05:14
How long will technology defeat your being Wires twitching the most sending waves too close I’m hardly breathing Free will is near Look up to the sun, endless beaming Hearts live in fantasy while minds are fixed on technology Well, we agreed To write a song and keep moving on We could write a song and move on Write a song and keep moving on Just keep moving on Would you wait for me or get away from me Wait for me or get away from me Wait for me or get away Just get away from me I want to know who I’m talking to We agreed We are greed

Syzygy 04:01
Sun and moon will meet perfect bodies Sorbently in heat and controlling a syzygy Moon and sun align New outlines will be our guide Dim the day we know We are calling totality Tenuous corona Through the pathed states Entire shadow of umbral cone No human disrupts Incessant dances of cosmo dust We can see the tenuous corona Sun, moon, dust in all of us

Releaf 05:47
I will stay happy We are friends I will stay happy Cuz we are friends now Taking time to truly understand the last I’m taking time to truly understand the last time I saw you The last time I called May be the last time I will call I’ll empty what you own If this is the last time I will call I want to thank you for helping me move Tears run direction Parallel to snow Where are we going Do they have control Egos drop ten buildings But you’ve got to let them go Causing music making Relief spinning out of control The last time I called May be the last time I will call I’ll empty what you own If this is the last time I will call I want to thank you for helping me move Relief spinning out of control Releaf

Flames etch into my tired eyes Shadows grow as I take in the light As the wind starts to climb I’m taking time Ashes pour from the palm of my hand Embers glow where the trees used to stand When the heat starts to rise I’m taking time If I take it in stride The decades will start to unwind Slow sigh to hear my lungs Open heart is less to guard You can tell the boss if I run I’m taking time All of us raised to seek escape Through these worry-colored states Relieve these stories Memory strings broken loose Blazing for the world to see I’m taking time I’m breathing in fire

Carry Me 05:59
Had to go Had to leave This body will carry me In the glow I am free This river will carry me Because we love and we let go I wish I had a light to spare This light is your own This light is your own Because we love and let go Just love Let go Just love Let go
