The Inevitable Slide

doubt this rule and re-emerge
stronger yet weaker in their eyes
left of field it bears to note
cordless out of sight
when you see it let it take you
when you feel it let it strip you bare
when you know it let it overcome
and it clicks you have to care
i know what you think and it’s pretty empty
watching everyone else take sides
holding your high ground pointing at everyone
as suddenly you start to slide
inevitably you end up somewhere
you gain nothing from sitting nowhere

Revolution Calls

let us reclaim the world they took from us
we don’t need the bless or time
the world would be a safer place in no hands
as for the hours until we try
up on the houses
shouting for justice
in our homes we stare
and never question what we’re trying to say
get too close we’re always in the way
couldn’t stand on any given day
we try to call them
trying to reach them
from every angle and yet
their bubble shields too strong to let it through
sorry if this at all bothered you
revolution calls but can’t get through
and never try to question what we say

"Exclusionary Radicals"
to who they say do not exist
we’re here to help
don’t need to earn the right to be
don’t need permission to tell
what can they really do
what can they really say
we’ll wave our flags high
up on the wayside
exclusion gets you nowhere
except in undesired circles
avoid the alien crop and run to open arms
our shaky arms
authority took our lives away
but we won’t hatch their plan today
those who claim for progress yet exclude those in need
bleeding on the turf clutching our knees
we’re here to stay
"Sunrise"
the world we say is larger
the hole we dig is smaller
the transit sits, sits idle
the empty branches fall
don’t run off so quickly
I never got to say hello
at least goodbye if you’re going to go
what a beautiful world we live in
don’t waste on sunrise
every day it starts again
and it kills the surprise

Laurels Are Free

when she introduced
I knew she was the one
I knew she was the one
when she made herself at home
with the locals and the elders
I knew she was the one
lay in bed with me
rest in laurels free
top of mount we’ll see
each other for what this really is
a bad bad dream
what does it mean for me
when she talked to me
I knew she was the one
I knew she was the one
when we sat for hours
and lost track of the clock
I knew she was the one

Ataraxia

last i heard
you walked off the grid
and moved into a forest
and built yourself a shed
you bleached your hair
and grew it out
and bathed in the rivers
where you wouldn’t be found
sometimes they’re wrong
but maybe you really snapped
it’s sure what you needed
away from me
and you became the queen
of the forest green
a wide expansive space
to lay upon your grace
i’m glad you’re alone now
you’ve found a new home now
i miss you
and you don’t reciprocate
but where you stand
i can’t really hate
femme of nature
child of god
im too close to my ego
locked in the pod
one day jealous
next day everything’s okay again
one day missing
next day one with mother nature’s friend
and you forgave the moon
for giving you the shadow arm
and you forgave the dune
for leaving you with broken charms
every misstep
every mistake
every time i said you couldnt go
every night i should have let you know
i had to let you go
so how’d they even find you
in the vines that grew to bind you
below the ivy crying
the whole time body lying
the dragonflies out flying
the hair you grew knot tying
the feeling chasing blinding

Circles In The Desert
03:27
|
|
||
|
where I hope the help is falling
designed to fight degree
an arrow to the calling
a hole into the knee
where next we hide
over the open skies
cavaliers incoming riding
a lesson for the young
sitting circles, little desert
before the harp is strung
all i hear is new day rising
blue moon sleeping next to sun
big eclipse over the awning
gathered bones to bag the run

Winter Marches On
03:14

this spring’s been cold but i am ripe for survival
the snow will melt soon enough
the temp’s been low but i’m sure it will break 50
eventually tough
winter marches on
i left my coat inside and embraced the weather
or not it came with rain
i heard the weathergirl tell me to stay sheltered
i lie and take the pain

This is a great album. Kinda like if Guided By Voices used GarageBand instead of a 4-track.
go to album
A female voice that feels out of another century quivers over a folk harp on the 11 tracks that make up this exclusive video album.
go to album
Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered.
