Time fills the ocean
and You drink the water so cold
Bet you don't worry 'bout when you grow old
Silence is broken
The wolf on your shoulder
Grows innocent and grins
As if smiling ain't nothing at all
All great things growing brave and small
How could you fall?
Sirens in motion
While voices grow distant and thin
Bet you don't worry 'bout where you have been
Lightning strikes sober
This storm passes over
Magnificent and quick
As if some things just ain't over
All great things growing brave and small
How could you fall?

Between the Buddha and Bukowski
Shone the light
Sang the song
Broke the heart
rang the gong
Built up
Tore it down to make it right
Built it wrong
And there was nothing to be said
to anyone
who was seen
what was there
didnt speak
didnt care and only spins around and round
and round
All is whole, I am clear
One is nought
Sound is ears
Who is who, what is what
It is nothing that you hear
And it sings and sings and it sings
And it sings and sings and it sings
And it sings and sings and it sings and it sings and it sings and it sings and it sings
Drunken saints and peeling paint
in an old house by the sea
While old Li Bo and Laotze laugh with me
Creeley keeps measures
Good for him, must me fun
Blake is screamin in my ear, a flower in the sun
Williams pushes garden tools while simpler folk push crack
The world's for sale, it doesn't scale
And noone gets their money back
All is whole, I am clear
One is nought, sound is hears
Who is who, what is what
It is nothing that you hear
And it sings, and it sings, and it sings
THe lights are off, the house is dark
I am a toddler in the park
THe days pile up like mountain chains
And in the morning same is all the same
Same is all the same
Same is all the same
Same is all the same
FUck happiness
With pristine earty, the eyes and mind collide
Between two things
There is no thing
And I fit perfectly inside
Inside.
All is whole, I am clear
One is nought
Sound is ears
Who is who, what is what
It is nothing that you hear
And it sings and sings and it sings
And it sings and sings and it sings
And it sings and sings and it sings and it sings and it sings and it sings and it sings

Echoes

Hey,
what you almost didnt realize
In that moment you idealized
When the sky was burning blue
Well your eyes were burning, too
And your heart only notice
Whisper words of truth
Whisper words your body knew your body already knew
You could be gone tomorrow
Longing for the wrong tomorrow
You could be shackled onto a mountain made of ashes made of dust
This wind could change tomorrow,
blow away the chains tomorrow
Why do I keep hearing we are stuck
Do I keep feeling we are fucked
That all the answers arent enough
You walk through the forest of your memory
Through some ancient mystic revelry
But the trees are falling down
With a sound so frightening loud
And the wolf is crying uncle
And the bears are tapping out
Pounding down to the ground with fists clenched tightly round
That thread of hope that found
When you woke up, lying naked
Crawling back to your mother
crawling after your shadow after you shadow cant be found
I hear the echoes on the mountains all around me
I'm calling out they're calling back
That forest you walked into disappeared
And all that's left is what surrounds you
What has found you
What has bound you to the ground you painted black
Your watch is ticking but it's broken
Your sleeping mind awoken
All your dreams are coloured grey
YOu keep dreaming you could walk away from here
Like there's some other place but here
Like there's some power in your fear
that makes your mirror image disappear
You're staring out the window
ONto a room where you are sitting struck with fear
staring out the window onto a room where you are sitting
Struck with fear, staring out the window onto a room where you are
Sitting struck with fear and staring out the window
Out the window
You could be gone tomorrow, longing for the wrong tomorrow
You could be shackled onto a mountain made of ashes, made of dust
THe wind could change tomorrow
Blow away the chains tomorrow
Why do I keep hearing we are stuck
Do I keep feeling we've been trumped
That all the answers aren't enough
That all that's left has come undone
YOur faith was bonded to your hope
Now it's swinging from a rope unwinding slowly
From that coca-cola castle in the sky that towers over
in it's shadow your grow colder
In it's shadow you sober
You can't fathom what you've shouldered yet
I hear the echoes on the mountains all around me
I'm calling out they're calling back
That forest you walked into disappeared
And all that's left is what surrounds you
What has found you
What has bound you to the ground you painted black
I hear the echoes on the mountains all around me
I'm calling out they're calling back
That forest you walked into disappeared
And all that's left is what surrounds you
What has found you
What has bound you to the ground you painted black

100 Year War

Unmake your heart
Unbreak your soul
Take back all the fantasy, the illusion
Forsake your gold
All your diamond dust turns to rust in the 100 year war
All your diamond dust turns to rust in the 100 year war
You're the only body you're dying for
One day will come
Hanging west with the setting sun
Laid to rest with the smoking guns
Heaving thunder breast beating brand new drums
Rip the medals of your chest and Run!
All your diamond dust turns to rust in the 100 year war
All your diamond dust turns to rust in the 100 year war
All your diamond dust turns to rust in the 100 year war
All your diamond dust turns to rust in the 100 year war

You could tell he was alright
By the way the he could talk into your eyes
Wave away the pain you feel inside
Hide behind a veil of ancient lies
But he got to be an honest man,
got to be an honest man,
got to be an honest man in time.
