Green is the color of the world
And we say we are going forward
When we are only a part of some great rebirth
And all ways we are
All the ways we've ever been
All the ways we will be again and again and again
And all I see right in front of me
And all I am is all that ever was and will be again
And in my veins
in my veins
in my skin
in my heart
in my brain
I let this in
I let you in
In my heart
In my eyes
In the way I see all this light
from within
from within...

Adam / Atom
06:54

Here in a dream with you
It’s all the same
It’s coming true
Again and again
I know the land at my feet and
I feel it like sand between toes and fingers
Like earth shifting
Cause it’s not glued together at all
It’s made of all these molecules
And Adam wanted it this way
Oh Atom wanted it this way
Creative
We create all this motion
Created an ocean of dreams
Creative
Some great slow motion
Like a bird
before birds could follow anything
And I’m on this flight path with you
And we choose our trajectories
We do
(or we think we do)
And the ocean beneath me feels like
the sands of time that I once held in my hand
making choices with my imagination
We can be anything
We can be anything
So why aren’t we anything at all?

With this compass in my every step
With this compass in my fingertips
All I want is to know the way that's best to grow
to go with you
in my skin
with you
in my every breath
with you
in my consciousness
All these stories like
All these leaves on branches
of all these trees
unfolding before our eyes
and they can't all be
important
(can they?)
I want to know
I truly want to grow
It's so hard to hold this rope
And keep thinking it's important
how do we
how do we hold these stories in our bones
on and on
When we feel as alone as
the third leaf from the right on the tree
in the world that's one of many
in space
among these stars
among this fragment of time
and I'm like a planet
and I'm like nothing at all
and i'm like a planet and I'm like nothing at all
It makes no sense
It makes a difference
Holding all these ropes
Holding all this close
It makes no sense
but it makes a difference
It makes a difference
if we fall

Want

White like the sky
I know you're white like the sky
inside your heart and your mind
Green like the leaf
on the biggest tree around
Dark and green and heavy like a cloud
Full of life
Full of water
Full of life
We want to be more than we are
when we look around and
see all the colors
and we want to be what we've found
in everybody and all of the colors
And we want to be more than we are
when we look around at all of the colors
We want to be more than we find
and more than we are and more than we are
And we want to be more than we are
and more than we've been
and more than we'll ever be
And we want to be more than we are
to be more than we've been
to be more than we'll ever be
We want to be more than we are
More than we've been
More than we'll ever be
We want to be more than we are
and more than we've been
and more than we'll ever be

Never
04:39

You box me in
You hold me down
Like time
You understand
the ways I’m grounded by
your lack of light
And all the ways we don’t get to
decide
And all the ways we don’t get to
be right.
You tie me up
You take my fate
You aren’t soft like I wish you were
You hold me down
You tuck me away
And I can’t see where I’m going
And I can’t see where I’ve been
You take me in your little line
Your little line to the great big sky
and you don’t see the ways you’re not right at all.
Cause you can’t see what you’re not
Cause you can’t see all the things you’ll never be.
<3
*note: this is an anti-ode to the fear-based concept of TIME
(a.k.a. obsession with past and future - memory and imagination...
both of which are ACTUALLY occurring in the present, which they do not want you to believe, and therefore steal your time)
...instead of a love-based concept of TIME, a.k.a. the eternal now / present, which is what I prefer to focus on, most the 'time' :)

Time Lullaby
07:57
|

|
You are the absentee
And I am the game you’re playing
All of the ways we’re not free to be
what we choose
Here in your heart so loved
Comes on me like an ocean wave
And I can’t tell you anything
like you tell me
You’re like some kind of dictator in my brain
You’re like all the things you said you would be
Like some great creative force flowing in my blood
My veins are full of all these stories
And I’m just your pen or your quiet voice in the night
like a lullaby you made out of time
when will I be out of it too
when can I hand over the reins
(When will you have nothing to prove
Nothing left to say)
Â
How we are used here
How we are used here
How we are used here
How we are used here
How I’ve been used here
How I’m being used here
How I’ll be used here
I don’t know if I can take weight of your hand on back
Pushing me down
And telling me to stay around
One more day
One more night
One more song
One more light
One more day
One more life
One more song
One more right deed
One more way I can escape this brain
And the weight of the things that make me insane
All the choices we make
And the words we decide to say
When there’s nothing to say at all
At all

Another Way
07:32
|
|||
|
We don’t know what we are
We don’t know what we need
We’ve come so far
And gone nowhere at all
We are wanting to be
Something more than we’ve been
Something more than we are right now
Something we can never be again
In dreams we can find a way
But we don’t fly outside the frame
Why is that?
I want to know why I keep going so slow
or back the way I came
It’s so strange not to know
why we created all this pain
Cause we made it all with our minds
And could decide at any time
to erase the truths that contain the lies
and we could fly outside the lines
But why do we stay
when we could go another way
We don’t have to live this way
We could go another way
