Quick Like Feather
Keep me in your vision
Hold me like you want
Escape me like the desert
And awake me like the sun
Hit me with another
Twist me in relief
My heart with a beat
My one and only
Float me like a feather
And forget me like a dream
And sting me like it's honey
Love me till it kills
Return me like the river
And roll me like the hills
And when everything collapses
All I ever ask is
Lay me on the pavement
Let me see the way it was
Take me to window
Let me hear the train
Hold me like a candle
And light me like the flame
Float me like a feather
And forget me like a dream
Help me to remember
To forgot my pain

Blind By Love

Blind By Love
Everybody’s only human and you break it down
And everybody needs a piece of ground
Everybody’s only living just to grow old young
Everybody needs someone
Everybody’s only hoping they can get away
But everybody needs a place to stay
And with one look at you, one look at you, one look at you
And I was blinded, blind by love
I was blinded, blind by love
Everybody’s only moving with the speed of sound
But everybody needs to turn it down
And everybody’s only looking for a way to start
And everybody needs to play the part
But with one look at you, one look at you, one look at you
And I was blinded, blind by love
I was blinded, blind by love.

Conversation X

You said the drugs get you closer to God
You said that nothing ever happens just because
You said the moon was a part of the sky
You said the sun was the truth dripping from the morning's eye
You walk around like it’s nobody's shit
You take a picture of yourself to pretend you exist
You said the same thing we've already heard
You said the best songs are woven by the birds
You said the stories never make any sense
But there's beauty in confusion it just depends
You said that change is a part of the plan
You said that no one understands so they try to pretend
You said the truth never hides its head
You said that money doesn't matter when you're dead
But the end is a turn of the page
And the beginning is a time for a change, for a change
You said belief is not what’s only real
You said that everything is only what you feel
You said that someday you would get through
But I’m only listening to you just to be cool
I’m listening to you, I'm listening loud and clear
I’m listening to you, I'm listening loud and clear
I'm listening to you, I hear you loud and clear

MidRiver
I was born with a change of heart
I got out before I could start
I saw for a million miles
All the smiles were there for a while
Now I’m wandering the streets like a wave
I look back only when I can’t stay
And I move like a man, like a child
I got in when it was out of style
Now I'm mid river down
I got tears on my crown
And I know when I’m not around
I’m mid river born like I’d been there before
Like I’d been, I’d been there before
I’m standing on a nameless grave
And I’m waiting on a trackless train
And I’m walking on the edge of my brain
I get lost when I try to find my way
Or I'm frozen on the edge of my seat
And I float like a lock and hopeless key
And I seep deep into the reaches of the trees
And I fall like a waterfall bleeds
And my mid river's the same as yours
All intention and no remorse
And the pinwheels all line the shore
They’re all waving to me back and forth
And I’m living in a dream like that
My nature is to break before I crack
I strike before I light the match
And I fight like I stand a chance

Work of Art

She has an art to the way she moves
There’s an art to the way she moves
There’s an art to the way she breathes
She has an art to the way she breathes
She is holding the time in her own two hands
And she is twisting the vine on the pendulum
She has an art to the way she moves
There’s an art to the way she moves
There’s an art to the way she leaves
She has an art to the way she leaves
She is holding the colors to the canvas sky
She is turning them in to reasons why
There’s a work of art buried in my heart
And it’s where you are
She has an art to the way she moves
There’s an art to the way she moves
There’s an art to the way she breathes
She has an art to the way she breathes
She is turning around in the yellow-lit sun
And she is catching the eye of everyone
And there’s a work of art buried in my heart
And it’s where you are

To Tonight

We could go, we could go, we could go, go, go
We could go where there’s nowhere to be
We could be, we could be, we could be pretend
We could pretend to be anything
We could hang like honeybees
We could swing like the leaves
On the willow trees
We could lie, we could lie, we could lie, lie, lie
Like a lion lying in the shade
We could run, we could run, we could run, run, run
We could run before we fade
We could dance before we pray
We could sing before we say anything
Do it do right now
Do it right now
To Tonight
We could talk, we could talk, we could talk
Talk like tambourines
We could mean, we could mean, we could mean anything
We could mean anything we seem to be
We could be dancing on a devil’s dream
When could be channeling an inner child
Like a little smile
Do it do right now
Do it right now
To Tonight

Sonny California, Sonny California
You’re calling my name now
You’re calling my name now
And I’m gonna reach out and grab you
Circle around you
But I’ll always come back to
Sonny California, my Sonny California
You’re calling my name now
You’re calling my name
And I’ll always be right beside you
And I’ll keep all the time you
Needed me with you
But one of these days now
There’s gonna be a change now
One of these days there’s gonna be a change
And I won’t be with you to warn you
With you to walk with you
But always come back to you

Just Like That

Just like that and the hands clap
Just like that and the hands clap
Here we go
Where you always belong
Where you’re always in the know
Where the air is clear
Just like that and the hands clap
Just like that and the hands clap
On a wave with the wind and the rain a
And the hands
And the movement of the band, the band
In the clear, in the clear
In the cold
And you hear
Hear of it all calling
Now, you pass it around
Anyway, there’s nothing here to see
Now there’s nowhere to be
Now, the air is clear
Just like that and the hands clap
Just like that and the hands clap

All In Love
03:08

I want to jump out my skin
I want to crawl out my clothes
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I want to spend all my money
I want to tear it all up
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
All in love, all in love
And my blood just runs and runs
All through my veins go one by one
And now she is all see, I see
All in love
I want to stare at the sun
I want to run, run, run
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
I want to talk to myself
About nothing and no one else
I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
All in love, all in love
And my blood just runs and runs
All through my veins go one by one
And now she is all see, I see
All in love
And I could careless to be heard
If I were blind or a bird
I could careless to be silent
If I couldn't find the word
I'll find the word
I want to climb up a tree
I want set to the sea
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I want to walk down the street
Turn around and walk back
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

How it all came to pass with the last breath on a fact check
One last lap around the track set to a laugh track
The wolf dance howls, and scowls at the TV
Sudden by disgrace now the face of the human race
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run into another time
Shotgun sounds and satellite streets weep
The homeless freak priest posing as the thought police
Naked to the masses how the Bible belt fell
Melted by a crowd and sheltered by a shell
With the vision of a, vision of a, vision of a, vision
Vision only of himself
Howl if you’re California
Howl if you’re misunderstood
Howl if you’re somebody’s baby
Howl for your voice to be heard
Liberty, liberty
Be here a while
Only winter waits on holiday rates and blind faith
Down with the desert and the vision of the golden gate
Fading with the sun while hope is on the run
Hanging from the sky and as tempting as an apple pie
Run baby, run baby, run baby, run
Run into another time
Now remorse courses through the dark horse and the time warps
Heaven holding hammers and the gavels splash the water source
With the force of a man whose heart is out of tune
The lunatics are split but they're still feeding from the silver spoon
With a vision of, vision of a, vision of a, vision
Vision far from the truth
Howl if you’re California
Howl if you’re misunderstood
Howl if you’re somebody’s baby
Howl for your voice to be heard
Liberty, liberty
Be here a while.
