Above the Silt

hovering above the silt
the anchor dragging the boat
down
can't do it alone
i'll be dragged on
plankton floats by
plankton floats by
i see you at the jazz club
and plankton floats by
I see you at the jazz club
and i'm feeling the pull up from below
i fumble my words through the oxygen
don't come up often
you're the only other hovering
my uncertainties get the best of me
back to the black ocean below
the black ocean
it's ok cuz i'm hovering
hovering above the silt
the anchor dragging the boat
can't do it alone
i'll be dragged on
I see you at the jazz club
plankton floats by
i see you at the jazz club
but i'm feeling the pull up
the pull up from below

Neil's Apartment

scrub the dishes you wont come clean
look to the sky to find it green
look around for the subtleties
you're in your chair as your head rubs the ceiling
i saw the lights of the carousel ride
spinning round the mountainside
wasn't long before it died
and rolled down alongside
that stationed doublewide
on the creekside
it caused the land to slide
to the countryside
slide to the countryside
it was the night your dream stood still
it was over before you could leap from the windowsill
with full conscious control
another life in your sleepy time world
i'm sorry about your bike
i flipped over the handlebars last night
and rolled down alongside
that stationed doublewide
on the creekside
when it caused the land to slide
to the countryside
slide to the countryside
i been searching for so long
it takes a lifetime to find a home

they watch me
born with a manmade brain in my hand
it's a sad day when it's hard
to remember how to make friends
nobody knows me better than the man
it makes me wish for a surge of power now
to blow it all up
hey watch me
born with a manmade brain in my hand
it's a sad day when it's hard
to remember how to make friends
nobody knows me better than the man
it makes me wish for a surge of power now
to blow it all up
if it's my loyalty you want
go fish go fish
i'm down too deep for nets
and your hooks are far too easy to see
you're a stranger to the river, the trees and the seas

Swift Seasons
04:20
|

|
as the swift seasons roll
the more we learn the less we know
a cough fogs up the window
i draw a face and breathe hot air in front of me to let it show
driving north to see my kin
this is where my life begins
the december rain makes more sense
this man and the earth needed a rinse
i can't tell the difference
between living and growing
these changes i observe
provide no way of knowing
nothing is known for sure
not even ourselves not even the floor
i don't know how to find myself
been looking a while not knowing how it felt
as the swift seasons roll
the more we learn the less we know
a cough fogs up the window
i draw a face and breathe hot air in front of me to let it show

All Inputs Cease
03:47

i can't remember my dreams anymore
a bird pecks at my eyes
it's you in disguise
it's you in disguise
i cant dream i cant see
there's no more books to read
all inputs cease
a bird pecks at my eyes
it's you in disguise
it's you in disguise
i cant remember my dreams anymore
if i could i'd feel at ease
so i dream during the day
something scary something great
i cant dream i cant see
there's no more books to read
all inputs cease

Between My Ears
06:40
|

been coming home to no bed these days
it's alright
things are changing much faster now
it's alright
you been down in the dumps lately
it's alright
kids are still sleeping in their parents beds
it's alright
it's a wonder how i ever get to sleep
with so much to wonder about
"you overthink everything" i hear from the backseat
it's the truth but i'd rather be here between my ears
than with you downtown
i'm underground

Rewind
05:38
|

close your eyes and slowly rewind
turning over the time in your mind
how do you spend your time?
give yourself a try
dancing on the floorboards
upstairs in the barn
making friends with horses
with the dew drops of the morn
have you ever spent time alone?
how do you spend your time?
give yourself a try
cool down your lungs
cool down your lungs with the cool mountain air
cool down you're lost with the cool mountain air
cool mountain air
climbing trees in winter for a better view of the storm
the lake echoes laughter from the children on the shore
i've never seen it like this before
i could still pick you out of the crowd (i went down to the wood to the edge of the forest)
closed down they closed down the wild
let's hop the fence and find the inside child
float down the river float down the river with me
float down the river float down to the sea
