Oh Raven

Oh raven, how do you keep your heavy body in the air?
By only your black feathery oars and your beating chest?
You’re bobbing and breathing like a drowning boy out at sea.
You labour and you lumber against all of gravity’s favour.
Oh raven, do your eyes freeze over?
Does it give you a hurting head
To breathe all this heatless air?
Oh raven, how you do stay up there?
Oh sunrise, you are but a Technicoloured stone
You’re dreaming your way through the sky looking for your home
It’s your last skip across the universe.
It’s your giant splash, glowing your phosphorescence.
Oh sunrise, where do you get all your gold?
Why are you so hard to hold?
Oh sunrise, you and raven, oh you and raven are my only friends.

You've Got Your Life
03:27

If he dies I’m going to fucking lose it. Lose everything.
I’m totally destroyed. I just watched my brother go, to where nobody knows.
Pale, silent, sullen, gaunt, like we’d seen a ghost.
Like we’d seen a ghost. Like we’d seen a ghost.
It’s the ultimate black, from which you’re never comin’ back. It’s a one way track.
There is no recourse. No replay. No second dance. No second chance.
It’s the edge of the edge, the edge of the edge, the edge of the edge.
The edge of the edge, oh it’s the edge of the edge of the edge.
It is the void we cannot avoid, we cannot avoid.
Cannot avoid. Avoid. No, we cannot avoid.
You’ve got your life, you’ve got your life, so what are you gonna do with it?
You’ve got your life, you’ve got your life, so what are you gonna do with it?
You’ve got your life, you’ve got your life, so what are you gonna do with it?
You’ve got your life, you’ve got your life, you’ve got your life
So what are you gonna do with it?
So what are you gonna do with it?
So what are you gonna do with it?
So what are you gonna…
So what are you gonna do…
So what are you gonna do with it?

That's So Pretty
03:52

That’s so pretty
I truly could not believe
As she got down on one knee
How indifferent I was
With the true love she offered me
Whoever said it’s better to have loved and lost
Than to have never loved at all
Has never fallen in love and never met
With what awaits at the end of it all.
At the end of the fall.
That’s so pretty, oh and that’s pretty too,
baby everything always looked so good on you
The stinging of my sins remained when I met you
I spent so long looking into your eyes now they’re making me ever so blue
My body holds the memory of just how close you love to be,
how close you love to be held.
Now there’s a flash in my mind knows your face so well, so vivid, so clean
Now it places it each and every night in my dreams
In my drowning dreams.
That’s so pretty, oh and that’s pretty too,
baby everything always looked so good on you
The stinging of my sins remained when I left you
I spent so long looking into your eyes now they’re making me ever so blue
My body holds the memory of just how close you love to be,
How close you love to be held.
How close you love to be held.
How close you love to be held.
That’s so pretty, oh that’s pretty too,
baby now what to do because
everything but my love looks good on you
Everything but my love looks good on you
Everything but my love…

I Heard You Calling
03:41
|
|||
|
When the nurse came, I read her face
Like a book which burst into flame and fell like ash in the dirt
Then I felt the whole world hurt
When I saw you swimming freely
Above your bed, into the air then into the night
My love turned you into light
I swear I felt you falling
Yeah I swear I felt you falling
Yeah I swear I felt you fall into deep sleep
Inseparable magnetic forces
No matter how far apart the two of us are
I will always be pulled toward your star
I swear I heard you calling
Yeah, I swear I heard you calling
Yeah, I swear I heard you calling my name
The air that I breathe
Everything I see
Every memory – lives on in me
Yeah, and I swear I heard you calling
Yeah, I swear I heard you calling
Yeah, I swear I heard you calling my name

Trapped Fox
08:39
|

|
Nurture me, nourish me
Hold out your hand, give only good seed
You can build your storm,
But can you clear away this fog
You built my library, you stack the catalogue
So please, please, please, please...
It’s getting hard to take in air
It’s a battle that I can’t win
But we can sit on a hill where the comets fly
Lasso our way into the night
And upon our return all the cities will be burned
Where once was a concrete gloom,
All the flowers return to bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom.
When you see your eyes in the eye of your brother
And it’s your hand on the tiller to the rudder
No matter which way the wind ought to blow
It can’t tell you which way you ought to roam
They say they found the truth under ground
But as soon as it caught light it took off like a sound
Coz it’s an apparition in the corner of your eye
It’s a visiting relative who you know to have died
The trap is shut, the bait is gone
Well, the truth don’t lay under the clay
No, it’s apportioned and it’s spread throughout your days
Now, it’s a treasure for which your mind must be keen
Slowly but surely your truth can be gleaned. Ooohhh.
They say they found the truth under ground
But as soon as it caught light it took off like a sound
Coz it’s an apparition in the corner of your eye
It’s a visiting relative who you know to have died
The trap is shut, the bait is gone
They say they found the truth under ground
But as soon as it caught light it took off like a sound
Coz it’s an apparition in the corner of your eye
It’s a visiting relative who you know to have died
They say they found the truth under ground
But as soon as it caught light it took off like a sound
Now it’s an apparition in the corner of your eye
It’s a visiting relative who you know to have died
The trap is shut, oh no, the bait is gone
Now you feel the shame, you tried to catch it at all
Oooohhhh... Oooohhhh... Oooohhhh
Oooohhhh... Oooohhhh... Oooohhhh

Golden Moment
05:23
|
|||
|
Tomorrow is not here now
Yesterday is gone anyhow
You never step into the same river twice
Light blasts through only one frame at a time
This light and this frame is called your beautiful life
What fills your world right now, right now, now, now?
What do you feel and what is the accompanying sound? Oh the sound.
You only exist now and here
Who you were yesterday disappeared
Know who you are hold what you’ll be
Just be here as you are with me
Only in this moment can you be yourself perfectly
So now are you seeing every single frame? Every frame?
Connect each flicker into a continuous flame, flame, flame, flame, flame.
This moment is golden. It’s the only thing we need.
The past and the future can’t save you. This moment can set you free.
So make this moment good. Make it the best that you’ve had.
Give it all you are. Give it all that you have.
You don’t have to wait any longer. You can be free right now.
Just give into it, give into it, give into it. I can show you how.
Each moment is an eternity
Each moment is eternally deep
We can set ourselves free, free, free, free, free.

We've Got The Numbers
03:33
|
|||
|
We wander aimless and afraid
Of our shadows, floods and our graves
Coz we just can’t explain it any other way
Now how can you expect to be saved
When you surrounded yourself with other slaves?
The few are only our masters because we let them be
We’ve got the numbers
Bring them out into the street
We’ve got the numbers
The giant has awoken from its sleep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For us to enter the bright future where people are free to become who they truly are, you must see through the illusion and know that you are not ruled by any person or force beyond you. Your true self calls you forward now. Together, we’ve got the numbers.
Then a man came and lifted you above his head
By the simple words that he said
His hopeful hymn put you under a hypnotic servile sleep
When this god sang the song you’ve longed to hear
That he’ll absolve you of all of your fear
You started to hear whatever you wanted to believe
We’ve got the numbers
Bring them out into the street
We’ve got the numbers
This giant has awoken from its sleep
We’ve got the numbers
Drop your weapon, get on your knees.
We’ve got the numbers
Your power ruse has been revealed.
Revealed. Revealed. Revealed.

Guilt Shame Horror
05:23
|
|||
|
Guilt, you dig your hooks deep in me
You tie me to volatile wild-eyed horses
Every time you show me her face, lightning cracks into my chest
And the chargers tear me apart as they tear off in their separate ways.
Guilt, shame, horror and blame
It’s guilt and…
Shame, you sail your sorrows into the heart of me
You wreck me then the sinking begins, her siren song in my ear.
When she floods my nightmares, dark mountains crash in over me
And the water (becomes), the water (becomes),
the water, the water, becomes all that I can breathe
Horror, I feel your burning eyes on me
A lurking creature in the places that I like to swim
It’s a hit from the glove of Mohamed Ali
for every wayward memory.
A prison in, a prison in the shape,
in the shape that my body takes.
Now it’s guilt, shame, horror and blame. X2
It’s guilt, shame…
Horror. Horror. Horror. Horror.

A rock came smashing through my window with a
letter attached by a piece of string.
I keep getting these strange invitations by a
phantom requesting my pursuit of him.
Once I have his scent I begin to think
that this was my idea from the very beginning.
Signed by the phantoms of love, freedom, grace,
Abstinence and then my very own name.
As I skulk through the alley I sense them in the sewer beneath
As I dive deep down to the coral their shadows move among the reef, evading me.
I write return to sender and now the postmaster is bent and confused.
He’ll have a challenge getting back and beyond the reaches of the known universe.
Out there beyond where thought comes from he’ll see the phantoms emotional hues.
None is more devastating to the eye than all of these human blues.
As I trawl through the valley I hear their voices coming from the mount.
As I summit the peak I see them sailing across the oceans skin, without me.
I again write return to sender and now the postmaster is bent and confused.
He’ll have a challenge getting back and beyond the reaches of the known universe.
Out there beyond where love comes from he’ll see the phantoms emotional hues.
None is more devastating to the eye than all of these human blues.
All of these human blues
All of these human blues
All of these human blues
All of these human blues
All of these human blues
All of these human blues
All of these human blues
All of these human blues

Twin Flame
03:38
|
|||
|
I wanna be your eyes, I wanna be your eyes at sunset.
I wanna be your breath, your deep and heavy breath at night
Our twin flame sparks when we meet
We burn up in each other’s heat. Oh we burn.
I wanna be the beat, I wanna be the beat of your heart
I wanna be your one, the one, the one, the one you dream of
The one that holds you wherever you go
The one true lover you’ll ever know. You’ll ever know.
You’re the only song that I know
You’re the only song on my radio
You’re the only one for who I’d ever bleed
You’re the only blood my body ever needs
If the wind changes. If the light goes low
The waters rise, our hands slip and we let go
If I lose you for a time, I’ll hold you in my mind
Because I’m always yours and you are always mine
You’re the only song that I’ve ever known
You’re the only song I ever pick up on my little radio
You’re the only one for who I’d ever bleed
You’re the only river filling my sea
You’re the golden light that’s setting me free
You’re the only blood my body ever needs

I Remember
04:15
|
|||
|
It’s a watery haze where little makes sense
Where your yearning is amplified through a fractured golden lens
It was our home, but it wasn’t our home, but I think it was, you know?
When I wake, I recollect the one thing that you said.
I remember you said you loved me. I remember you said, you said.
You wade into the lake and you disappeared inside
I searched in tow until I reached the edges of my mind
The lake opened up and you were there, a mermaid of course
You came close up and whispered your universal law
I remember you said you loved me. I remember you said, you said. x2
You came along tonight to hold me tight
and guide me gracefully through my dark night
You came along tonight to protect me well
with your love so I awake with a free heart
You said you loved me x3
I remember you said you loved me. I remember you said, you said.
I remember you said you loved me. I remember you said, you said, you said, you said.
