while i was out walking about i began to wonder/ what is this understanding that i've been standing under/ whether or not i understand, its the only one/ i'll ever know or i'll ever go through/ don't you just love the way we wander aimlessly?/ pondering how far from yonder waterfall we are/ from over here it's clear that it's neither near nor far/ and i fear abyss been staring at us back in our faces/ facing our directional persuasion/ isn't it amazing that we've made it this far/ without the big picture or the new blue print on the wall/ were we doomed from the start? now budding up like flowers attached to the life line/ the life like vine of our lively experiment/ here living in the clumps of gathered matter/ or rather masses of gases and debris which we see/ shining down illuminating natures majesty/ the king himself father time travels further back or forward/ than any normal force or forces/ that's why it's so important to choose the right course let's go for a walk to pass the time think of the things we might find

Backyard 03:21
Been up on your feet why don't you take a seat Wandering for miles why not relax awhile Been down on your knees when will you find relief Been out on your own when will you make a home? You stepped out in your backyard, feeling like a chained watchdog Tummy hungry, howling and growling Have an empty bowl because you ran out again If you weren't aware of privilege you'd say you were starving If you weren't pagan you wouldn't be pumpkin carving If you were tired perhaps you'd be sleeping If you knew the language would you hear the moon speaking? Been writing all this down what is it you have found Do things your own way what do you have to say Been up out of bed, will you lay down your head? Thinking about thoughts, been doing that a whole lot.

Sleepmore 04:25
You said sleep is the cousin of death, like it's a bad thing, like it would mean something to me. True that sleep is related to death, they're both related to life, gotta meet the family. At the end of the day or the end of the night, I know you feel it too, I know you need rest your bones. Wake up in the morning don't sleep too late, over-caffeinate, get up get out get goin. If you're lucky enough and you're not too stoned, you'll have a dream and you'll remember what it means. In the places you go, you know you'll make a scene, because it's make believe, and there's just no guarantee. See, I've got a friend that stays up til dawn, and then he sleeps til 3, and then after work it's on. More power to you, it wouldn't work for me, I need my vitamin D, yeah, soaking up the sun. But in the heat of the day, you'll find me taking a nap, so when the witching hour comes, I'll be prepared. You said you love life, but you're afraid of death? I said I've been so close to both that I'm not scared.

Leaves Home 03:04
when i crawl on my knees and i call to you please answer my call cause your voice is supreme and i love when you scream you know what i mean we could stand on two legs and walk past the desolated parking lot past the broken crosswalk away from all the tears away from all the years spent here wasting away in such a small town with a big dream searching for something with meaning something anything at all

All Ways 03:54
the earth is thirsty the rain is mercy storms on the way the sky is cryin the leaves are dyin frost on the way but soon again spring will be singin flowers on the way outside it's pouring inside you're roaring you're on your way the heart beats blood the streets will flood it all goes its way the thunder cracking the lightning flashing lighten the way

Enjoymoment 03:29
I don't see you very often, very much when I see you and we get to talking, get to touch oh! so hot do not get too close I would like to enjoy this fleeting moment You said come over, so I did when we get to goin, that's when we will oh! so hot don't get too close I would like to enjoy this fleeting moment You said you love me, and then I said I love you, but wait does that mean that we're in love?! so hot don't get too close I would like to enjoy this fleeting moment.

Not Today 04:45
Borrow these keepsakes and take these pains I don't need them Burrow, burrow much deeper please. You wouldn't believe how close I was. You wouldn't believe how far away we were. Smoke signals the sky might read. Carry my message on feathered wing. You wouldn't believe how close I was, you wouldn't believe how far away we were, but I was there, and I saw it happen again. So bury those murderous fakes, those thieves!

what you got in yer hand? what you got up your sleeve? what you got in mind? what you got in your head? what you got put to paper? what you got to say? what you got in the bag? what you got in your pocket? what you got to lose? what you got up ahead? what you got to look forward to? what you got planned? what you got comin your way? say it slow so that i may understand what you know everything that you comprehend, say it slow. i'd like to tell you somethin i know some things can't be explained you'll know what i'm saying but it won't mean the same i'd like to tell you something i know although some things can't be explained they'll go without saying, but the meanings will change and that's the comedy and the tragedy of it all you'll laugh cause you know you'll cry cause you don't when really it's both.
