Open up your heart
Bright light that you are
Let your mind rest
Do what you do best
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love
Your feelings are safe
Use them as a base
To fill your golden vase
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love
Be ever so kind
Relax and unwind
Dance 'til you're refined
In sacred space
Sacred space
Sacred space
In love

Cold Days

Cold days
Your heart beats
My way
It's so sweet
I'm lost again
In fear
And it hurts so
To come clear
Because I see
How far away
I've been drifting
And how much it takes
And I see
You standing there
In our light
And it isn't fair
That I keep
Holding back
My love for you
Just to keep my fear intact
And I see
How distant I've become
Trying to move my fear right through you
So that I don't come undone
Where I am
You say
Baby come on over
It's beautiful this way
There's no need to fight
When the pain is kind
There's no need for right
It won't help your mind
There must be other ways of knowing
That my love for you is true
Than to beat your wings
Against a cage
That simply will not do
We have dreams to live
I've your heart to hold
And I plan on growing old with you
But I won't be growing cold
Cold days
My heart beats
Your way
It's so sweet

Oh How Your Love Runs
04:44
|

Oh how your heart has wings
Yet you've gone and let sorrow be your
Pretty little keep
You want to fly in this life
Across the sky
You'll have to let her go, you know
Softly as she weeps
Oh how your mind creates
Yet you've let each storyline grow
Wild within your gate
You want to see in this life
Beyond the blind
A simple mad design take hold
Clear across your fate
Oh how your words align
Yet you burn them in resistance
As you cast them over time
Oh to be heard in this life
To see all sides
You'll have to listen close to those
Who speak with love in kind
Oh how your eyes reflect
Yet they go out masquerading
So that no one will suspect
You want a view in this life
To stop all time
You'll have stay awake to shake
To pain that's on your mind
Oh how your love runs deep
Yet you comb these shallow pools within
Where grief won't let you be
You want to feel in this life
Your heart alight
You'll have to reach out through the blue
Colors that you bleed
Oh how your heart has wings
Oh how your mind creates
Oh how your words align
Oh how your eyes reflect
Oh how your love
Runs

Whirlwind Fire
03:47
|

Hitching a ride with the girl inside
Catching a glimpse of that whirlwind fire
It's a lonely road but it ain't so bad
Making friends with the devil won't drive me mad
Fetching an angel with a broken wing
Healing her heart is gonna make her sing
Holding her close is gonna make her true
Then there's nothing out there
Gonna cheat on you
Forging a red hot heart of steel
A signature hand to turn the wheel
Grief's belief bursting at the seams
Released to beat this pending dream
Her blood beats thin her diamonds shine
With a little bit of pressure ground through time
Without these wounds to draw her near
You never would have seen her so
Bold and clear

When I Die
05:44
|
|||
Walking on this wall
The sky is endless
I could fly I could fall
Or try and suspend this
But time has changed me
My mind has rearranged me
And I’ve got nothing left to lend to chance
My whole life depends on it
I didn’t save my skin
Just to live in doubt
To lie to myself and pretend
I’ve got it all
I’ve got it all figured out
Life don’t work that way
It’s here and it’s gone just like this day
And I ain’t got time for fooling around
So I’m moving out of my way
And finding my own ground
Because nobody gets out alive
I wanna be there when I die
So as quick as I can
As aware as I am
I’m learning how to mend
My ways
They do not serve me they only cause pain
They do not serve me they only cause pain
So I learn to surrender
I let it all go
If I want to live in my dreams
I’ve got to learn how to hold
Life works that way
It’s here and it’s gone just like this day
And I ain’t got time for fooling around
So I’m moving out of my way
And finding my own ground
Because nobody gets out alive
I wanna be there when I die
I wanna be there when I die
I wanna be there when I die

If That Don't
05:51
|

Tell me all those lies
Go out on night
I’ll still do you right
If that don’t make you
If that don't make you
If that don't make you
Tease my heart
Make me unsure
I’ll still hold out for our little world
If that don’t break you
If that don't break you
If that don't break you
Break me up
Take me back
Watch me stay right on track
If that don’t shake you
If that don't shake you
If that don't shake you
Make sweet love
Make it go away
Right where I can
See your pretty face
If that don’t take you
If that don't take you
If that don't take you
If that don’t make you
If that don’t break you
If that don’t shake you
If that don’t take you
If that don’t take you
If that don't take you
There’s nothing I can do
There’s nothing I can
Nothing I can
Nothing I can do

Blooms
05:01
|
|||
It flowers and it’s fed on blood
It hurts to bloom when you’re in the bud
It’s cold in here and you can’t force anything
Tears well up you wait for warm rain
And sun
So you can become
One of the hearts that bloom
It takes a heart big as my own
That’s learning how to be all alone
So it can love without taking it all for granted
Knows the roots of what’s been planted
And it feels
Through light
In time
To bloom
It folds in and in
Peel it back and begin again
It keeps time sure as you’re born
May be the only thing it’s good for
Besides loving you
And that big old moon
When I see it bloom
All chords connected
All ways
I’ll love them all to fly your kite
Sitting all calm on a sun filled day
‘Til the storm blows all tangled night
With you
All by my side
Melting my heart strings
With those skies for eyes
Parting all my clouds
Reminding me how
It blooms

Little
02:53
|

She's just a little shy of being pretty
Just a little tangled in the truth
Just a little how'd you say you met me
Just a little carve it up in blue
She's just a little break and watch her heart bleed
Just a little hey I'm just like you
Just a little coming through those tall trees
Just a little hey how do you do
How do you do
How do you do that to me
She's just a little spend a little time star
Just a little shine a little shine
Just a little please won't you be mine heart
Just a little
Just a little
All of the time

Gold
05:46
|

You’re way down deep within me yes it’s true
I thought you were me ‘til I knew
I fought for your survival in my youth
Now I call that running from the truth
Fear has a way of killing time
Of growing more becoming every line
Of blowing all your roses into wine
Seducing you into ‘everything is fine’
You warned me you said
Honey don’t you do that to me
But I did
That hold out, hang me up, forgotten kid
You warned me you said
Honey I’ve got years on you you see
But I gambled once again against my faithful misery
With anger as my savior ‘til it drained the life from me
All the while, feeding fire, this aching just to be
Free
Free
Free
Free
I’m so sick of feeling ugly around me
There must be more to living in my being
Than to set myself up so hard for to fall
By making myself out to be so small
I know it isn’t yours
I’m sure it is all mine
I came home empty handed and alone most every time
I could barely sing a long and lonesome, lonely, lovely line
Far from knowing what it takes
I had to break to hold the light
Hold it right
All this substitution’s a poor excuse for the sublime
And even though I knew I knew it, I walked that same road every time
Pain caught up with me all dressed in bold
Cinched up her best decoy and stopped me cold
I woke up and looked around
I felt so old
Panning all these fears for years
Foolishly thinking I’d find
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

Bloodlines
02:07
|
|||
Try as I might
To see sadness unchanging
To claim that there’s not enough proof
I’ve seen the lives of my bloodlines transform
So I couldn’t use that excuse
No I couldn’t use that excuse
