Healing, healing, healing is mine Healing is mine, it’s my design, it’s my design It’s mine to define, it’s mine to define, healing is my design to define I, I was looking for closure, In an open wound - But first I needed Pressure to stop all the bleeding, Reparations made, Sutures to sew a me a scar, It’ll never go away, Shadows are here to stay, Might as well learn to play. There is beauty in pain, Pain in beauty, I live contradiction - I live the magic in tragic, Light a flame for me - Dualism is the movement Find the tertiary Dogmatic illusory Extra sensory Daily microsurgery Space and patience, space and patience, Are the maintenance, are the maintenance. Breathe and process, breathe and process, Make subtle progress, make subtle progress. Eliminate, recalibrate, eliminate, recalibrate, Get out of your own way, Get out of your own way. I, I was looking for closure, In an open wound - But first I needed Pressure to stop all the bleeding, Reparations made, Sutures to sew a me a scar, It’ll never go away, Shadows are here to stay, Might as well learn to play. There is beauty in pain, Pain within beauty, I live contradiction, I live the magic in tragic, Light a flame for me - Dualism is the movement Find the tertiary Dogmatic illusory Extra sensory Daily microsurgery

Ancestors whisper, what do you need me to know? Shine down light please, help our seeds grow. I was walkin' round blind with nowhere to go. Now I go within, may I always remember this flow... May I always remember this flow... May I always remember this flow... Har Hare Hari Wahe Guru Har Hare Hari Wahe Guru Har Hare Hari Wahe Guru Har Hare Hari Wahe Guru Ask me softly, what do you wish to hear? Here, take my melody, always keep it near. Why worry my love? There's nothing to fear. Listen sweet heart, do I come in clear...? Do I come in clear...? Do I come in clear...? Har Hare Hari Wahe Guru Har Hare Hari Wahe Guru Har Hare Hari Wahe Guru Har Hare Hari Wahe Guru

Observe a defense mechanism, Why jump to defend an ism? Let feelings be compasses, Discern what the ego says. Is your sense of self outside yourSelf? Check the bank, false imaginary wealth. Wherever I will grow, Is exactly where I'll go. I won't doubt if I don't know, I burned that bay leaf moons ago. I have always loved you, It's so good to finally learn how. There is nothing I need to, Escape now, to avoid now, oh no. It was so hard to remember, To remember, why to allow. This loving communion, Sweet reunion with mySelf. Do you recall as I held you, As you held your guitar singing as you do? The space within and in between, The day is done, lay it down to dream. Do you remember the first time, Truth and music came together in a rhyme? We lost touch, the world defined us, Even now the name is behind us. It's both the major the minor, Between the divider is our reminder that... I have always loved you, It's so good to finally learn how. There is nothing I need to, Escape now, to avoid now, oh no. It was so hard to remember, To remember, why to allow. This loving communion, Sweet reunion with mySelf. I have always loved you, It's so good to finally learn how. There is nothing I need to, Escape now, to avoid now, oh no. It was so hard to remember, To remember, why to allow. This loving communion, Sweet reunion with mySelf.

"Turn that down so I can see, another case of 21st century blues. Just how bad does it need to get, until you ask for a clue? Good morning catastrophe, go ask my friends who've lived longer than me. Compassion or the scarred skin we've learned to live in. When do we fall in love with the time we're given? When we see, endless synchronicity, wherever we be. Guess I'm not going back, because I've never been. In my ancestors step's I've walked thru the shore. And in my own the rubble of that dome. In the cinder blocking, a kitten calls itself it's home. Started in the middle now ya out there on the outside, It's not defined it's not defined. When ya bending with the times, you're in an echo's rhyme you're in a bind you're in a bind. Way up in the attic in a box you'll never, you'll never find, you'll never find, it's on my mind. All the people lost within atomic reach, Shadow's all they left behind. This whole world up in arms is not just spending money alone, No such thing as compromise between good and evil, Love is our home. No such thing as compromise between good and evil, Love is our home. No such thing as compromise between good and evil, Love is our home."

The Meadow 04:28
You bring the fuse, I'll bring the match, I'll light the end, you close the hatch. We'll build a house, we'll make it home, We'll run and run and run and roam. Anywhere, anyway, In the meadow we lay. We know how to make love stay, Give it up and give it away, Day after day, oooo, Day after day. When we've written every song to play, And we've sung every word to say, In the meadow we lay, oooo In the meadow we lay. How did you see that my, Soul was ready to break free and fly? We think we've got each other's keys, To sail the wild seven seas. Anywhere, anyway, In the meadow we lay. We know how to make love stay, Give it up and give it away, Day after day, oooo, Day after day. When we've written every song to play, And we've sung every word to say, In the meadow we lay, oooo In the meadow we lay. We know how to make love stay, Give it up and give it away, Day after day, oooo, Day after day.

Breathe in and count to ten, That was now and this is then. The smell of red velvet, the taste of the tassel, Getting that door open was always such a hassle. Spirit guide by my side, Departure directions on parchment paper. This letting go was so hard to get to, A new place to jump to, a new world to swim through. Can't pop this bubble ya see I've got me plenty of space in front here, Plasma betwixt my soul, a space to endure. Spirit guide by my side, Departure directions on parchment paper. That time traveler tends a planet in the ether, Keeper of the cold spring bubbling beneath her. Just there to left, waiting in between, it seems. Tall grass waves long in the distance, Suggests this predates existence, Never have I ever been, anything but love. Jokes on you we traded paper for food, Gotta sleep eight hours or it messes with my mood. Drinking water from deep below the ground, There's a time, there's a place, where sacred is found. But it's not the place they told us it'd be, it's not a place your money can buy. There's no address, no number to call, There's nowhere to go, but in love to fall. Well if i don't subscribe to alternative facts, I'm labeled left-centric conspiracy theorist. I don't care if you believe in jesus christ, I care if you live a loving and peaceful life. But it's not the life they told us it'd be, it's not a life your money can buy. There's no address, no number to call, There's nowhere to go, but in love to fall. That time traveler tends a planet in the ether, Keeper of the cold spring bubbling beneath her. Just there to left, waiting in between, it seems. Tall grass waves long in the distance, Suggests this predates existence, Never have I ever been, anything but love.

Got a case of the 21st Century Millennial blues, Sign petitions, go to rallies, be an ally, but I just can't stomach to watch the news. Saw a therapist, she was nice, gave good advice, but I couldn't afford the co-pay to keep her, Dreams seem to dwindle as the worry lines on my forehead grow deeper. But at least I can write this song, At least music won't treat me wrong. At least you can sing along, At least if we know we were bound to drown, we can learn to swim. I've fought my demons for two decades long now, with enough fire and conviction to coin a battle cry. I've flown to several continents and abused many vices, when I saw my shadow's there I'd still pass them by. I've been frozen in pain in plain sight, and my tears have run dry, salt begins to calcify. My life goals are a flower child's fever dream and living any other life I just can't justify. But at least I can write this song, At least music won't treat me wrong. At least you can sing along, At least if we know we were bound to drown, we can learn to swim. Paid out of pocket for the services and supplements, programs, products, gizmos, gadgets, everything in between. Healing by stretching in 80% humidity, 105 degrees, sweatin' from my brow to my knees. Tryin' to stay warm while staring at the sun while living in a state that turns gray for months and freezes. This Western healthcare system won't perscribe a single thing that'll finally put my body, mind, and spirit at ease. But at least I can write this song, At least music won't treat me wrong. At least you can sing along, At least if we know we were bound to drown, we can learn to swim.

Witness the moon, Half it's size. Once 'round the cycle, It'll be twice as wise. Lips to the morning dew, Kissing spring, as if life were new. Underneath the snow lies grass that's still green. Below the soil lies roots, oh they are still thriving. Always looking for some sort of answer, praytell why? Don't you think that maybe there's some reason why we still haven't found it? It's not like I can, Just give you where I began. All I can do is, Show you my hands. I used to think that they, were empty and cold. Then I look down and I see that, They're finally growing on me oh they, Oh they tell me what I need to see, They show me what I need to hear. I refuse to be a part of multiple multi-faceted industries, That profit directly from mental, physical, illness and disease. Capitalizing on the tension and unease are bright shiny toys, designed to detract from us, to distract us from magick we keep at bay. Every time we accelerate we change the face of the planet, our fate and our legacy's too, tryin' to keep ourselves up to date, another update to make. On behalf of the forest, on behalf of the trees, The time has come, the time has come. On behalf of the oceans, on behalf of the seas, The time has come, the time has come. Do you really think that we, Have come so far form history? That we won't repeat it unintentionally, Out of lack of love, and empathy? Do you really think that we, Have come so far form history? That we won't repeat it unintentionally, Out of lack of love, and empathy?

Chaos 03:56
Ten feet tall the ghosts do roam, Love can't live too far from home. Blooming seeds once planted sewn, Golden light the forests grown. You're not alone, Feeling alone. She's not the one who's hard to work with. She's not the one who's got to change her ways. She is the who makes struggle pay off. She is the one balances the chaos, Who balances the chaos. Half the ladder twice the rungs, Coaxed the most loquacious tongues. An uphill battle on biased ground, Denies the mountain scape around. You're not alone, Feeling alone. She's not the one who's hard to work with. She's not the one who's got to change her ways. She is the who makes struggle pay off. She is the one balances the chaos, Who balances the chaos. Underneith the pale moonlight, Burn traumas, release the night. Come what may full moon eclipse, In the dark like passing ships.

Forgiveness 05:40
The summer, the summer treats you well, But tell, can you tell, What the cave holds, what the cave holds, what the cave holds, In the morning. Listen, listen when it speaks to you, Believe the void, when it shows you to, when it shows you to, when it shows you to The work to do. Where did all the time go? Where did all the time go? It's really not my job to do your work for you, I've got my own, plenty of my own, waiting back at home. Forgiveness is forgiving yourself, for giving yourself, To someone, who didn't take the chance, to heal themselves. Where did all the time go? It's really not my job to do your work for you, I've got my own, plenty of my own, waiting back at home. Forgiveness is forgiving yourself, for giving yourself, To someone, who didn't take the chance, to heal themselves. Forgiveness is forgiving yourself, for giving yourself, To someone, who didn't take the chance, to heal themselves
