- Track Name: moment of impact
-
there are moments in time
they seem to freeze solid
they crystallize
immortalize
the second it shines
these, these moments are a prize
hone your senses to recognize
these rare instances
the second they materialize
the second you stop trying
is the second you start dying
you need the search to give your life
the meaning that's worth finding
it's up to you to suss out what that is
and when you do trust me you'll know you did
cause time will crawl to a stop.
one, one thousand, two, one,
two, one thousand, three, one,
three, one thousand, four one breath...
now would be the time
to brace for the moment
of impact - Track Name: botonist

i, i sit alone in my yard
planting the seed
that'll grow into a tree
now i wait for these long years to pass
(long years to pass)
hopin' and wishin' and prayin' that somethin' will grow
(that somethin' will grow)
beneath the leaves of this giant oak tree
i'll sit alone and watch the night
creep in steadily
we, we sit together
beneath the tree that grew from that seed
now we watch as these short years they pass
so fast
hopin' and wishin' and prayin' for time to stand still
beneath the leaves of this giant oak tree
we'll sit together side by side
and watch the world recede - Track Name: connect the dots
-
connect the dots
don't follow a prescribed path
doesn't matter how you get there
doesn't matter how long it lasts
shade it in, according to your sense of style
doesn't matter if it makes sense
only matters if it makes you smile
and we'll disassemble the entirety of the map
and rearrange it so it fits
and place our landmarks
wherever seems best
as we define our geography
i've found my place
i've found my time
and now i know
it's time to shine
connect the dots how you want to
doesn't matter how you do it now
all that matters is that you find your way through this place
fate she is a funny beast
if your path has come to an end
just look around and i'm sure you'll find
a new spot to begin
we've found our place
we've found our time
and now we know
it's time to shine
a new beginning
is just around the bend
it's time to stop growing up
and remember to pretend - Track Name: marine life

as a kid in school
i did the things that kids'll do
i'd fill my notebook up with drawings of
all the sea dwelling creatures i knew
across the top of the page
i'd draw the high water mark
beneath the line
i'd describe
my dreams of life beneath the sea
i guess i wanted to
escape to somewhere different
see the world anew
experience a strange environment
i thought i'd find that place
beneath the surface of the sea
cause it's the only space
completely foreign to me
when that whale does sing
sing his chosen song
and waits for the response to fall
in that moment you
you can hear it all
in that moment you can hear it all
let's get back
to the sea
where our dreams know no boundaries
let's get back - Track Name: nose dive
-
evid eson ew,
htrae eht sdrawot gniltruh
hurtling towards the earth
we nosedive
pull back on the nose
lift it up to the sky
fly, fly away now
gotta climb, climb, climb
gotta reach new heights
fly, fly away now
kill the engine let that thing stall
let go of the stick and enter free fall
and nose
nose dive
nose
nose dive
hurtling towards the earth, we nose dive
evid eson ew,
htrae eht sdrawot gniltruh - Track Name: saddle up
-
when the time comes we'll be ready for the battle
when the time comes we'll be ready for the battle
with our horses chompin' at their bits
and us firmly in the saddle
when the time comes we'll be ready for the battle
so take out your saber and give your shield a rattle
so take out your saber and give your shield a rattle
if they see our steel glintin' in the sun
this thing'll be over before it's begun
so take out your saber and give your shield a rattle
hold on, hold on, hold on
to those reins
lay your head down come now rest your weary body
lay your head down come now rest your weary body
we've been riding for so long
we've forgotten what's right and wrong
lay your head down come now rest your weary body
i'll keep watch till the sun peaks up above the horizon
i'll keep watch till the sun peaks up above the horizon
so don't worry your little head
just stay comfy in your bed
i'll keep watch till the sun peaks up above the horizon
when the time comes we'll be ready for the battle
when the time comes we'll be ready for it all
we'll be ready
for it all - Track Name: flash flood
-
rain clouds
are forming
amassing in the distance
and eerie calm it creeps in
growing thick with rain
they start to fall to earth
growing ever closer
so that they can birth
a flash flood
the water's rising higher
as the rain falls hard around us (around us)
secure yourself a life raft
we'll float on and let the storm pass (storm pass)
this flash flood lifts us up
we're made buoyant by the havoc (by the havoc)
wash away the debris leaving only you and me
on this newly formed sea
rain fall down, fall down
wash over me, oh
wash over me
rain fall down
come with me
we'll float away
we'll find ourselves a new place
we'll give it a name - Track Name: rain fall down
-
rain fall down
fall down
wash over me, oh
wash over me
rain fall down
come with me
we'll float away
we'll find ourselves a new place
we'll give it a name - Track Name: chaotic collisions
-
and if you lemme call it
what i wanna call it
we'll say it's chance and that's all
and then forget about it
a random crossing of lines
chaotic collisions of courses that were never meant to meet
but now they did there's no avoiding it
and if you lemme tell it
like it should be told
i'll spin a tale so intricate and watch it slowly unfold
well paced and plotted with care precision, persistence, and charm
luring in with the aim
of letting down your guard
i don't mind taking time
to redefine the lines
connecting you and i
and for the rest of time
we'll be intertwined so serpentine
and if you lemme call it
what i wanna call it
we'll say it's love and that we, we just can't live without it
i know i'm towing the line
but you'll find this feeling of mine
it grabs you deep down inside
it'll never lessen with time
and i'll believe in you
if you'll believe in me
we'll find our truth on the horizon where the sun meets the sea
so study up if you want
but it'll come naturally
if you just open up your heart and let it be what it be
i don't mind
taking time
to redefine the lines
connecting you and i
for the rest of time
we'll be intertwined
so serpentine - Track Name: assemble yourself
-
and i find it difficult to comprehend
how things fall apart
assemble yourself my dear
we've much to do
and it's time we start
i've been planning this escape for a while
if we leave beneath the cover of the rain
it'll be miles
before
they know
we're gone
i can't promise a smooth road
i can't promise a finish line
i just promise that we'll keep walkin'
till we find what we're meant to find
and if you tell me when you see it
i'll second your discovery
we'll place in on a velvet cushion
under glass for all to see
i found that i found my sight by your side
the journey's the endgame
the place doesn't matter
it's just used as a guide
the place often changes
foundations are shaky
as it slides off in to time
and when we get there
i'll know that we've found it
by the look in your eyes
and all we'll remember
of where we once were are
the shapes of our dreams
against the evening sky
one step after another
assemble yourself
we've much to do
and the hour's getting late - Track Name: achoo

donna
i wrote this song for you
after i read online
about what you had gone through
you sneezed all the way
through 1982
sorry to hear about your situation
sneezin' all the time's gotta be irritatin'
if i were you
i don't know what i would do
but hang in there
cause everything has an end
this too will pass
i promise you my friend
but until then
don't hold your sneezes in
don't stifle your sneezes
it's not good to do
you ever seen that movie scanners?
it can happen to you
if you hold in a sneeze it's like a shotgun blast to your brain
i once knew a dude who never let out his sneezes
he burst some blood vessels now he's chattin' with jesus
laugh all you want, but i swear to god it's true
and the same can happen to you
if you don't go...
Achoo - Track Name: bring the light
-
this is just another in a long list of love songs
so you might as well sing along
cause if you don't then it just seems wrong
and here is where i'd sing a little bit about your eyes
or my fingers caressin' your thighs
or how you're always on my mind
but i, i, i can't seem to bring myself to finish up this track
so if you can just cut me some slack
and hopefully by the chorus i'll get it back
you, you, you bring the light to my life
spin the earth back towards the sun
create day outta night
you, you, you bring the light to my life
wouldn't have it any other way
then to have you here by my side
now that we're together
i find myself complete
see i redeemed myself in the chorus
just like i said i would
the lyrics they sounded more love-song-like
and less of a jokey joke
i just hope that i haven't gone too far
let's pull it back
let's pull it back
let's pull it back...
now, now i get a second chance to be sincere
so listen up my dear
and i'll tell you what you wanna hear
shoes, shoes, shoes oh my god where'd you get those shoes?!?
ok, that's another joke and it's pretty bad
i'd understand if there were some boos
i, i, i, i fear that we've gone off the rails once again
so sorry my friends
but here comes the chorus
hopefully it'll make amends
you, you, you bring the light to my life
spin the earth back towards the sun
create day outta night
you, you, you bring the light to my life
wouldn't have it any other way
then to have you here by my side
-play us out with some sweet ass whistlin' - Track Name: till next we meet
-
farewell my friends
our time together has been a blast
but as time often does
it has gone by too fast
so until
the next time we meet
may the ground
be firm beneath your feet
may the wind
always
be at
your back
may the wind always be at your back
