Wonder Wander

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

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.

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.

open your eyes now Shiva
open the eye of Horus
now you see me, now you don't
bring us tonight
open your hearts now people
seek and find and dwell within
your heart cave
don't be afraid

Leaves Home

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

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

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

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!

Go Without Saying
05:10

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.
