weary souls with rules have their stupid brawls fire shots until they're sure all is gone lift the child who lie lone slumped over rock hold her till she's left pull out all the darts fists slammed sidewalk breath was lost now I walk home palms at my jaw raise those hands against cool hues of the dawn fuck your plan b, you hate them all tally their demands on your chalkboard heart lie down near the shore erase all the marks fists slammed sidewalk breath was lost now I walk home palms at my jaw too hard to hear when every- body's voice is in your way now your board's blank and you can't remember what you'd say too hard to hear when every- body's voice is in your way now your board's blank and you can't remember what you'd say raise those hands against cool hues of the dawn fuck your plan b, you hate them all tally their demands on your chalkboard heart lie down near the shore erase all the marks too hard to hear when every- body's voice is in your way now your board's blank and you can't remember what you'd say too hard to hear when every- body's voice is in your way now your board's blank and you can't remember what you'd say

I'll find it in the woods I'll make myself absurd I'll find it in the woods I'll make myself..... wait until the light goes out unlock the door with keys that appear look ahead, can't you see now? their lavish feasts and golden wings songs of sirens lead you to the ocean's edge, where one can breathe the salty air that whips about the feathered hair of scaled ladies I'll find it in the woods I'll make myself absurd I'll find it in the woods I'll find myself..... coveted creatures praising of surreptitious brute men our holy screechers hidden from those who can't believe that we have beautiful lands that we can't see behind our screens so hard to discern between the eye and the mind wait until the light goes out unlock the door with keys that appear look ahead, can't you see now? their lavish feasts and golden wings songs of sirens lead you to the ocean's edge, where one can breathe the salty air that whips about the feathered hair of scaled ladies I'll find it in the woods I'll make myself absurd I'll find it in the woods I'll find myself..... coveted creatures save them from holocaust hells they live treat them as equals sprung from the same star stuff that we did can't we see? killing them is like killing you and me recognize that our hearts are aligned coveted creatures praising of surreptitious brute men our holy screechers hidden from those who can't believe that we have beautiful lands that we can't see behind our screens so hard to discern between the eye and the mind coveted creatures

Lionhearted 04:43
totoro where'd you go? totoro where'd you go, go, go? totoro where'd you go? totoro where'd you go? vulnerable child left outside to herself drawn to paths of acorns spots two nature spirits ones who left her the trail meets the forest's edge Mei's never afraid to explore believes what she sees in camphors wish the lionhearted child lived in me stumble over bridges wrap around the trees find me asleep brush against my cheeks so exciting to live and to be blame the broken hearted child in the sheets terrified of father squinting through the seams shamed to no end cannot even sleep surrender allow the grim defeat miserable child stands under pouring rain waiting for an answer spots two nature spirits same who left her the trail meets the friend she missed Mei's never afraid to explore believes what she sees in camphors wish the lionhearted child lived in me stumble over bridges wrap around the trees find me asleep brush against my cheeks so exciting to live and to be blame the broken hearted child in the sheets terrified of father squinting through the seams shamed to no end cannot even sleep surrender allow the grim defeat totoro where'd you go? totoro where'd you go, go, go? totoro where'd you go? totoro where'd you go?

Dark Flower 05:14
dress in all black play inside your own mind let their foul mouths criticize your own kind young boys they spill their own truths to oppose you circular core stems in archaic form blossoming more ikebana film noir sweet scents they cut through black fume into your room suspect shadows stretching ten fold dark flower in full bloom deep tones consume dark flower in full bloom deep drones consume dress in all rose mill about your own prose let their foul souls trample on your stone throws young boys they spill their own truths to oppose you windows frame the landscape that steal your heart's mind away no!!! I swear I will go someday oh all these sunsets call me to that other realm I see it all now I feel it all can I go now? can I go now? can I go now? suspect shadows stretching ten fold dark flower in full bloom deep tones consume dark flower in full bloom deep drones consume divine mother holds me feed me speaks so clearly shows me I'm free chromatic specs fill me wake me emotional voices guide me suspect shadows stretching ten fold dark flower in full bloom deep tones consume dark flower in full bloom deep drones consume

Goldmine 04:36
I always feel like a whore in the winter time My empty cold bed's no favorite of mine If the windows ain't foggy and I can't draw a smiley Then maybe, you ain't workin for me He always feels like he's nothin in the summer time Took off to the woods to find peace of mind He'll become a young slave Just waiting to please my soul If I make that call but guess what? these troubles always fall off You're left with a Goldmine a Goldmine to sort thru a Goldmine to think thru Johnny when you toss it right I cannot cooperate Pass right by those yellow signs We are intoxicated We are free, we are free We're free, we're free I always hate what you say When you've lost all faith Where's your sense of I? Don't tell me to plan your wake, don't tell me to plan your wake Where are you now? You've just gotta get dirty In 101 ways Just shed that load And save that face Oh hunny Johnny when you toss it right I cannot cooperate Pass right by those yellow signs We are intoxicated You know who I am The queen of blossoms on trees When all is just black You're who I see You've got a Goldmine to sort thru a Goldmine to think thru The options are endless No need to use your fists You've got a Goldmine to sort thru a Goldmine to think thru Johnny when you toss it right I cannot cooperate Pass right by those yellow signs We are intoxicated We are free, we are free We're free, we're free And guess what? these troubles always fall off You're left with a Goldmine a Goldmine to sort thru a Goldmine And guess what? these troubles always fall off You're left with a Goldmine a Goldmine to sort thru a Goldmine to think thru
