Prelude
01:16
|

Don't hold on tight, it's not meant to last
Don't you know the future's passed
Open up your hurried--oh
To what you can't define

Pt. 1
Sometimes I wish you'd go
But I hope that you'd know
That my whole goal
Is to ignite
iIs to ignite
Your soul
And spill my body in your bowl
Pt. 2
You say you can fit the moon in your womb
Well, honey, I have yet to see you bloom
Here comes
Here comes the flood
Here comes
Here comes
We're melting, but not like wax
We can see the dawn, floating on our backs
Here comes
Here comes the flood
Here comes
Here comes the flood

Silver Spoons
I know it's hard to carry them in your mouth
And every time he calls
It feels like they're gauging you out
Hidden altars
He imagines those little things
That you place so delicately
Like the bark on a cedar tree
It bursts through me and you
Like the gushing of a river on fire
And I'll illuminate his reflection
On your tired tide,
and only then will he see my vision

The Swelling
02:16
|
|||
You gave me the gift of song
And it's been tearing at my belly far too long
So thank you for my ghosts
I'm sure my brain has been a good host
May it reduce the swelling
The swelling
And an empty pill bottle is no toy
For a budding dandelion boy
And I didn't bother to ask for your blessing
But I can't relax
May it reduce the swelling
The swelling
And you assume
That pearl can't do well
Without its clamshell
Well I prefer to be raw
And I don't mind being wrong
May it reduce the swelling

Open up the door,
You're wanting more
Open up your bed,
Let me in your head
'Cause there's always more than you've accounted for
There's always more than you've accounted for
When all I need is Earth and Sky
And all this concrete has me askin' why
You ruffle your feathers just to fan the flame
And when there's nothin' left, then who's to blame?
I wish it was simple, oh
I wish it was simple, oh
I wish it was
'Cause there's always more than you've accounted for

Survival (Skullcap)
02:23
|
|||
When you breach the crust of the earth
You will grow from all you know
So take it slow
You will do what you can just to survive
Just to stay alive
You keep on taking
Well I'm done giving
You keep on taking
We're all just living
Ooh, out of the sunny blue I find you
All mangled and tangled in knots
Between shoulder blades
You're making your way
Out of those thoughts
You keep on taking
I keep on giving
You keep on giving
Well I'm done giving
Among the roots of a tree
You'll find a way to be
To be free,
Without me
You keep on taking
I keep on giving
It keeps on taking
We're all just living

Medicine Woman
02:59
|
|||
She gave me the earth
And my breath was inert
I'll always be overt
Knees roughed up in the dirt
You're my medicine, woman
Be my medicine, woman
It swelled up in the moon
Soft like a mother's swoon
There's alchemy in your womb
Clumps of hair in a honey spoon
You're my medicine, woman
I'm your medicine, woman
I've cut up all my nails
Because I won't impale
We're finding every tale
Of the world beyond the veil
Be your medicine, woman
I'm your medicine, woman

Knowing
02:26
|
|||
I've been talking to a riverbed
And it said
I've been talking to a mountain peak
And I've sprung a leak
Of light upon your windowsill
And even you don't come around,
I'll still be around
And even if I don't come around
You'll still be around
I've been sleeping on a tortoise shell
And it said
I've been waiting for the river flow
'Cause the water knows where to go,
To let go
And it said
Even if you don't come around
I'll still be around
And even if I don't come around
You'll still be around
I've been leaning on a willow tree
And it said to me
I've been waxing in the womb
And waning, waning into bloom
And even if you don't come around
I'll still be around
And even if I don't come around
You'll still be around
I'll still be around

Unknown (Magic)
00:52
|
|||
I don't know where I'm going
And I don't know if it's showing
But I'm alright with not knowing
'Cause that's half the magic
Whether true or tragic, oh-oh
