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
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
