I Remember

You brought me once down to my knees
A long time passed but I’m still weak
The next time that I fall asleep
Might well be the end of me
Could you promise that you might
Remember all those summer nights?
We fought against the burning sun
And laughed about the world to come
Stop right there
What did you do before our love was gone
I’m so tired
What am I saying, I loved you all along
Sometimes I wish I was a man
And I remember that I can
And I remember what I was
I know I still have work to do
Stop right there
What did you do before our love was gone
I’m so tired
What am I saying, I loved you all along

Control

Well I woke from a fever dream last night in my new bed
I shouted to the star-light “Oh God, if I am dead
Please tell your angels to let me bed so that I may understand
In my own way”
And I fell back to sleep
Head was churning, stomach burning
Didn’t know where I was
Four AM and sickness forming mental static buzz
I flew around the room a couple times before I lay down to rest
And I fell back to sleep
I’ve been thinking about myself too much
I’ve been working way too hard
Control is all I’ve ever known
That’s why I’d rather see you when I’m stoned
That’s why I’m so impossible to know
Didn’t know for sure if I was here or I was there
A magic trick, the fleeting kick of morphine and the glare
Of all the heavenly architecture they built to care
For me in my sleep
I’ve been thinking about myself too much
I’ve been working way too hard
Control is all I’ve ever known
That’s why I’d rather see you when I’m stoned
That’s why I’m so impossible to know

Consciousness
02:52
|

Lesser lights of consciousness are dancing in my eyes
A rising feeling in my soul as my body dies
Hanging on an energy, an astral being now
The time is right for exiting, my clock is winding down
Done with cancer's greed, falling through the spinning leaves
Toward my newest home, excitement mounting on the eve
Talk to me in the strangest language that you know
It's a gift to understand the highest highs and lowest lows
Never feeling freedom with your head sewn shut so tight
Falling into chaos though your soul is shining bright
Falling into chaos though your soul is shining bright
Falling into chaos though your soul is shining bright
Falling into chaos though your soul is like a light

Blue Mountain Moon
04:45

Never again, never again
Will we dance beneath the blue mountain moon
Never again, never again
Will we sleep in the fields of our home
When I remember how we came together
The nights we spent alone were so sweet
We fell to our knees and thanked the spirit of the leaves
For blessing us with the sound beneath our feet
Blue mountain moon, you’ve shared your tune
With all the people gazing up at you
Blue mountain moon, you know it’s true
The ones who love your gift are just a few
Blue mountain moon, I’ll cry to you, it’s hard to shake the feeling
That we’re doomed
At night I wash away all my sins, then I fall asleep
Summers I wake up late soaking in sweat from the heat
I followed all of your rules
Even though some were just cruel
Blue mountain moon
Blue mountain moon
You are so cruel
Blue mountain moon
You are so cruel
Blue mountain moon
You are so cruel
Blue mountain moon
You are so cruel

Fall of Man
02:45
|

At the end, it’s good to see you
In the winter dressed in snow
Can we find our love again
Like fire-lit skies so long ago
Knew you before you first began
Before you met all your new friends
Who took you from your home and lover
Down the highway into nature
You’ll return someday
The fall of man, now that’s a shame
Now all you creatures look the same
Through cracked screen doors or VR eyes
There’s no such thing as compromise
I call you every now and then
But only when you’re in my thoughts
Cause I’m so busy with my health
While you camp in a parking lot
We’re at the end, I’ll come to you
You’ll cry to me “It’s just not fair”
It’s true our love is evergreen
But even trees need watering
You’ll return someday
The fall of man, now that’s a shame
Now all you creatures look the same
Through cracked screen doors or VR eyes
There’s no such thing as compromise
Well looks like you have found me now
In the spring with budding leaves
March the trails, swim the rivers
Get high on the mountainside
I followed you through thick and thin
You kissed me once and then you grinned
And said “You’ll miss that someday”
The fall of man, now that’s a shame
Now all you creatures look the same
Through cracked screen doors or VR eyes
There’s no such thing as compromise
'til you return to me
