Temporarily Home 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Arrived in time to do nothing Almost missed my chance to miss it and here I am and here you stay In a place where it's always the same Walk and walk but you may not go far enough On and on there you go, you try to get close enough So you try, and you might, you may get closer still on and on....on and on... Take me to your beach you have claimed And show me all the gifts God's laid for us and here I am and here you stay temporarily home again all the river's run into the sea yet the sea is not full I'm tired of running looking for what I can't find I found it in the shade of the places where I go I found it in the glow of the faces that I know.

Pollen 04:13
lyrics
buy track
At times when the world seems to lie and the ground just keeps giving way I look at the flowers (sometimes you hear it, the static of creation) Their presence reminds me that we are all like pollen (sometimes you feel it the static of creation) Dancing 'round inside flowers In a patch of thousands (Feeling the shivers of love) The biggest of the trees comes from the tiniest of seeds and though it all starts with a mighty fall life's got in store a worthy call The biggest of the trees comes from the tiniest of seeds and though you may not have your roots too deep you have my hand to help you leap. Sometimes I/you/we have you face my/your/our fears Sometimes I'm/you're/we're more than a flower and with short roots dying of thirst water can't replace my/your/our love (sometimes you have to strain your ears and sometimes you have to face your fears and let them go)

The Sky (pt. 2) 03:14
lyrics
buy track
I had been awake so long my sleepy head had been long gone and I had seen each hour pass by on dark and silent nights Now i see the glow of stars behind the layers of white and smog I've trained my eyes on distant glowing bodies because that is what I've got for me in this place that I have learned to call my other home. Each face I know comes up to me in every dreaming sleep the lips are mouthing words I can not hear because my ears no longer work but they persist and now i stretch my fingers, growing rapidly like Linus leaves from ferns I'd seen in the backyard's where I've sat

Where Have You Been? 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Before my breath runs out, I'll be home again. We'll see ourselves for the first time again and we'll act like nothing's changed it's just another day.... Ya, you're hair's grown longer and your new shoes make you taller your face is getting brighter and your eyes are getting wider How long has it been? Do you remember? there was that time when....and another when.....what happened again? We had been friends, hadn't we? Ya, you're eyes, they are getting wider concrete trees, they seem way much taller but take a look around it's just all the lights that blind you from the smiles that you left behind.

Turn 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Life is so funny when you think you've got it going on. The tide may turn and suddenly it's gone You'll put things together again, you must move on At times you are right and at times you are wrong sometimes you are wrong. Life is so strange when you're up and up and up But up means nothin without down and down and down you may find yourself running around, around, around but find what you what and what you need is from yourself It is from yourself Can you tell me what am I supposed to? When my roots don't have anywhere to grow Tell me, who am i supposed to be? can you tell me please? "What you want is from yourself."

Red Lights 03:43
lyrics
buy track
blink, blink, blink The light escapes the metal tree just sitting so pretty and so still right on top of that dead hill (I can't sleep, this red light distracts me) Take me away, far away, far away Fly me away and let me be still Pink and yellow lights flicker They are so welcoming But they distract me from where I should see They are warm and serene but it's not where I want to be Take me away, far away, far away Fly me away and let me be still Take me away Oh please just take me away Lord, won't you take me away?

Make A Space 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Chalk it up to bad luck Hold your tongue, don't say "what" Take your thoughts and pile them up, away. Well 20 hands and 20 feet Take their lunch and here they eat Dusty books and dusty brains Talked about Camus today And everyone takes their place oh, what a day! And now that you've been given a chance to see things clear Don't turn away Cause people come and people go From your life and from the world Make a space in your head Fill it up with all they give And everyone takes their place oh, what a day!

The Hold Up 05:44
lyrics
buy track
I saw a dead man today as we were driving down the street oh, it was quite a scene As we were all laughing just trying to avoid the uncomfortable setting that man would never breath again. I don't want to die alone cause I'm scared there is nothing at all. As I turned away from the crash Just trying to find a faster detour home just trying to avoid the hold up. cause I don't want to wait any longer I just want to avoid it all I just want to avoid it all cause I'm scared He won't hear my call. If I can't see your face I can feel the warmth coming from the sun/son's embrace If i can't hear your voice I can hear the trumpets coming through the mighty clouds and if I can't feel you in my heart I can feel your love coming through all of my friends. (trapped in the forest/trapped in the mountains/trapped in the presence of every single thing)

Weigh The Air 03:21
lyrics
buy track
All of the light in the room was absorbed by the pores in the walls that surround it All of the air in the room is being sent through the vents in the ceiling above it Tell me about the way the air and light mix Something is right....something isn't quite....something's are not that easy. All of the air in the room being sent through those vents is so sweet on my tongue You wish you could keep it around and just hold in your mouth use your teeth as a well But it all escapes, it runs away, it leaves your lungs behind it. You try to hold it but, after all, some things can not be contained.

Empty Me 04:39
lyrics
buy track
Every I see all the people smiling around me And every day I try to find the love I'm missing in my life. And every day I say, "I can do this all by myself" But everyday I fail just trying to get to "that place" I know it exists I just can not seem to get there. I'm growing more hungry...for more. Here I stand admit how weak I am. And all the strength in my comes from surrendering to the source of love... ...the love we're searching for.
