Two Snakes

Two snakes on the ground
We had wondered if they were here
My brother, the alive one found
The hound saw the flattened one near
Oh how it slithered along
Smooth and beautiful all along the gravel
Two cars on the road
Could have been a bloody scene
Collided and spilled their load
Engine on the pavement
The lady sat there, still breathing
They pried the man out and he walked away
Oooo
Two souls torn apart
Sideways and flattened
With a broken eye and a broken heart
He was once within her
From the side lines, they cry
We can mend this mess, just breath
Oooo

Better Pill
03:56

She looks calm and maybe flattered,
Nonchalant with her striped dress, falling off her shoulder
Is it her son or her brother
Is she a mother
The baby looks ahead,
And she looks down
She looks down
A star in the center of his forehead
And sparkles on his chest, the leather battle suit
A small beast behind him ready to patrol
He's in control
Of this desolate place
Is this now
Is this now
It's a bitter pill to swallow
Aching in my throat
Is there a better pill to swallow
The aching in my throat
Sweet familiar face, pink blotchy skin
Make up under her eyes fell away with her tears
Green walls and purple curtain from the baby's bath,
She'll pave her own path
Just throw that dress away
Forget that day
Forget that day
It's a bitter pill to swallow
Aching in my throat
There's no better pill to swallow
The aching in my throat
Will it be a bed of roses
Will it be a bed of dread
There's no better pill to swallow
The aching in my throat
And even so lavender
In the backseat rosemary
Dahlias by the dashboard

Black & White
03:48

Blurry vision
Ache in my head
Feels like a dream
This kingdom of you and me
Tiny notes
and a tiny guitar
The sun turning black and white
Not everything is black and white
Not everything is black and white
Stranger than fiction
Strangers think we are together
together
Stranger than fiction
Strangers think we are together
And I'm not over you
I'm driving home alone
I'm driving home alone
I'm driving home alone
I'm driving home alone
I'm driving home alone
I'm driving home alone

Dots & Dashes

Release me
Let me out of it all
May I release myself, now yes
I'll just keep writing songs about it
Invisible ink, a secret code
Rolled up paper in a washed up bottle
Dots and dashes and dots and dashes
A secret code, secret code
Maybe someday I can tell you all about it
Till then, this poetry will do
Please, see me as I am
The undoer of this damage
The Atlas for the balance
Marks, they have been made
Fragile hearts in panic, oooo
Is, is it bad enough yet
To clean up this mess
Is it bad enough for them to care?
Release me
Let me out of it all
May I release myself, now yes
I'll just keep writing songs about it
Invisible ink, a secret code
Rolled up paper in a washed up bottle
Dots and dashes and dots and dashes
A secret code, secret code
Maybe someday I can tell you all about it
Till then, this poetry will do
Till then, this poetry will do

Stepping Stone

Stepping stone
You gotta keep this up
Now go ahead
Super slow strokes
Can I see?
I had a feeling there was something
Lurking underneath
Do it quick
Hurry hurry hurry
You're on your own
Dirty hands
You're on your own
Just for a minute
You're on your own
Dirty hands
You're on your own
Just for a minute
Stepping stone
Do you want more
We're all here
Put the whole thing in the sun
Are you done done
Decorate this too
Full blast, full blown
So we've got time
Slow down down
You're on your own
Dirty hands
You're on your own
Just for a minute
You're on your own
Dirty hands
You're on your own
Just for a minute
You're on your own
Dirty hands
Just for a minute
Just for a minute

Magic Cabin
02:04
|

|
You were on my mind
Oh I thought I lost you
I'm imagining
Maybe someone like this
Oh my god, are you
In the cabin in the
Middle of the forest
It's all reminiscent
Do we have a plan?
I'll have to find it
Stumbling around humming
Oh my god, are you
In the cabin in the
Middle of the forest, forest
Runs right to me
We got a magic cabin
In the forest

Quiet
04:29

Tuck
In my feet from the chill
Return back to warmth
In the softness
The soft light
Quiet mmmm
Just be quiet
Quiet mmmm
Oh so quiet
Just
The sound of the gentle morning birds
I lie here with you
But the pain
The small ache in emptiness
Focus
Back to the sweet sleeping smile before me
The sound of your thumb
Playing a song
On the blanket above me
Quiet mmmm
Just be quiet
Quiet mmmm
Oh so quiet
Mmmmmm

Osprey
04:40

I want your body
And I, I want your soul
You, you better believe
Believe me, you want me too
I want your fingers
Entwined with mine
And you, I could wrap you around my finger
Why don't you want to be mine
We're from such different places
A whole world apart
You be the osprey
I'll be the orca
But if we touch, I feel in my body - light
I want your kindness
And I, I want your care
I'd even take the tangles
You leave each time in my hair
What kind of torture
For us to feel this way
The power you have, over me
To take my breath away
We're from such different places
A whole world apart
You be the osprey
I'll be the orca
But if we touch, I feel in my body - light
Gotta cool down, gotta cool down, gotta cool down

My Medicine
03:56
|

|
I'm so tired
I just want your arms around me
But you left me all alone
Heartsick in the infirmary of heartbreak
You've had so many chances, but now
I'm not going to wait for you to decide if you know what you want
It's now or never, if you want to be my baby (what if you're my medicine?)
What if I were to die tomorrow,
It's now or never
Would you be with me today?
You say you want your face close to mine
You went away to remember how much you miss me
I've been crystal clear
It seems I should let the last glimmer of us wither
You've had so many chances, but now
I'm not going to wait for you to decide if you know what you want
It's now or never, if you want to be my baby (what if you're my medicine?)
What if I were to die tomorrow,
It's now or never
Would you be with me today?
Would you be with me today?
I'm not your baby anymore

Tactile - I wanna to feel your skin
The way you pull me in
See your eyes in mine
The way you make me shine
Tactile - I wanna to feel your skin
Tactile - The way you pull me in
Tactile - See your eyes in mine
Tactile - The way you make me shine
Cause I wanna be close to you, close to you, close to you
And I wanna be pressed to you, pressed to you, pressed to you
And I wanna feel you
Ah, every moment
Die just to be near you
I could love you
Oooooooo
Tactile - I wanna feel your heart
Even when we're apart
Our time is drawing near
Oh baby don't you fear
Tactile - I wanna feel your heart
Tactile - Even when we're apart
Tactile - Our time is drawing near
Tactile - Oh baby don't you fear
Cause I wanna be close to you, close to you, close to you
And I wanna be pressed to you, pressed to you, pressed to you
And I wanna feel you
Ah, every moment
Die just to be near you
I could love you
Oooooooo

Shenadune

As I went down, as I went down, as I went down
She rose up
As I went down, as I went down, as I went down
She rose up
From the cottage to the basement
She cries out
From the back room to the door step
Cries out
Oooooo
Shenadune Shenadune
Shenadune my love
Shenadune Shenadune
Shenadune my love
Will you wake or will you sleep
Will your head rest long and deep
As the moon rises in the sky
Slowly gently close your eyes
Shenadune Shenadune
Shenadune my love
Shenadune Shenadune
Shenadune my love
As I went down, as I went down, as I went down
She rose up
As I went down, as I went down, as I went down
She rose up
Oooooo
Shenadune Shenadune
Shenadune my love
Shenadune Shenadune
Shenadune my love
Mmmmm
As I went down, as I went down, as I went down
She rose up

Teeth
04:28

Take a dip in the stream
And search for dinner
Swim lesson in the river
And roll around in the field
Of flowers
Honey and flowers
Or maybe it's to be perched up high
Overlooking obstruction
Soaring above the fairytale isle
Gathering for my nest
I don't think it matters as long as I'm with you
I'd get the chance to protect you
As I wish I could now, but I'm not allowed
As I wish I could now, but I'm not allowed
I just wanna be free
Alive and alone and free to roam
You'd hear me howling
I'd still worship the moon
With eyes that pierce through the dark
With teeth to cut through flesh
Singer of the forest
I'd come back to you to rest
Let me be the animal I am
Let me be the animal I am
Show my teeth, my bite and my fight
Show my teeth, my bite and my fight
Show my teeth, my bite and my fight

Still Alive

Tell me, what do you think they should learn today
Don't drink and drive
What do you think they should learn today
Don't drink and drive
Lucky for them no bones did break
They are still alive
Lucky for them no bones did break
They are still alive
Another day and another time
Others did not survive
Another day and another time
Others did not survive
The bright bright lights finally came
And saw how you drive
The bright bright lights finally came
And saw how you drive
Spend the night in a cold dark place
Mmmm
Spend the night in a cold dark place
Mmmm
A warm safe bed we all deserve
You shall not deprive
A warm safe bed we all deserve
You shall not deprive
Weaving in and weaving out
Like bees in a busy hive
Weaving in and weaving out
Like bees in a hive
There comes a time, even for you
You can no longer hide
There comes a time, even for you
You can no longer hide
Time to pause and take a look
Inward deep dive
Time to pause and take a look
Inward swan dive
Here I am, waiting once more
Will it ever change
Here I am, waiting once more
Will it ever change
You never know what someone might hold
Deep inside their chest
The little things, and the big things
Shall be put to rest
You never know what they might hold
Deep inside their chest
The little things, and the big things
Shall be put to rest

Dear mama
I see where you've been
I've walked your shoes before
I too went out the door
Dear mama
You are strong
You were made for this
Though none of us chose it
Continue to walk
On burning coals
I do it for mine
As you for yours
It's after midnight
1 a.m. shower
After hours of writing words
I'd rather be singing
This time,
Let it be signed
Let it be sealed
Let it be settled
This time,
Let it be signed
Let it be sealed
Let it be settled
This time,
Let it be signed
Let it be sealed
Let it be settled
Let it be seen
You can hide and hide
But the truth shall prevail
Since when has caring been a crime
And these crimes not counted
Well I'll do the dirty work
I won't stop trying
At least my hair is clean
And my own voice rings out
This time,
Let it be heard
Let it be healed
Let it be handled
This time,
Let it be heard
Let it be healed
Let it be handled
This time,
Let it be heard
Let it be healed
Let it be handled
This time,
Let it be signed
Let it be sealed
Let it be settled
This time,
Let it be signed
Let it be sealed
Let it be settled
This time,
Let it be signed
Let it be sealed
Let it be settled
Let it be seen
Oooooo
