Stave It Off

Will this come and go
Or has it been here for a long time?
Could this be a boon
Or is it of my own design?
Hoping through my dreams
That it shows up in the sunlight
If it’s overdue
Then it can’t be hard to find
I’ve been sitting here waiting for the day to come along
But I’ve been blind to the silence
I’ve been sitting here waiting for the beast to show its teeth
But can I handle the brightness?
Whence will this emerge—
Or is it at the fore already?
Is it out of my reach
Or is it right there in plain view?
Oooh, it’s coming closer
And I can’t ward it off
Oooh, it’s all over
And it was right under my nose
I’ve been sitting here waiting for the day to come along
But I’ve been blind to the silence
I’ve been sitting here waiting for the beast to show its teeth
But can I handle the brightness?
Ooh, I gotta stave it off
Stave it off
Stave it off
Cause I can’t handle the brightness
I’ve been afraid of what’s underneath
I’ve been so averse to uncovery
You make things shine when you’re lovin’ me
But I know what’s inside has always been bright

Fervor

Shall we come to peace
And walk down the good line?
Is it time to leave
Our dark, wily sad sides?
We’ll set it on fire
And we’ll breathe in the backwash
It’s wonderfully dire
And it’s steeped in the same pot
Step on my feet
And do all the wrong things
We’ll finally see
The love beyond the (y)awning
We’re coming alive
And we’re pulsing with fervor
It’s been really nice
To see us rise up further
(Lots of doos)

Bright Lava In Bloom

It’s bright lava in bloom
When I come close to you
Sitting high on a violet moon
It’s spilling over
And it’s running down the sides
It’s coming closer
As we rise into the night
It’s bright lava in bloom
When I come close to you
Sitting high on a violet moon
I feel it burning
Like the way it used to do
There’s no use yearning
For what lies inside of you
Eruption day
I will lose my way
Run far and wide
Through the valley
To the next town over
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da
La-da-da-dah
Da-da-dahhhh

Did you know that I’m partial to you?
Is it easy to tell?
Does it feel like I forego myself
To get closer to you?
Here is one word falling from my mouth
Here’s another one it’s coming
Ouuuut
Ouuuut
Can you tell that you’re under my skin
And you’re swimming around?
Kinda feel like I gotta repose
Splayed out on the ground
Here is one word falling from my mouth
Here’s another one it’s coming
Ouuuut
Ouuuut
(Lots of doos)
It’s coming out

Things are feeling kinda weird now
It’s a lot to recognize
A bright light in my life has gone out
I’d kinda fallen by the wayside
So it’s a strange perverse delight
That a bright light in my life has gone out
It’s kinda like whoa-whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Things are feeling kinda real now
Indubitably
My former company has stepped out
Gotta fall into a motion
And let the rest lay down its seed
Soon enough I’m bound to see me
Cadillac ro-oh-oll (x3)
Whoa-oh
I’ve been over here
Exposing fears and losing sleep
I’ve been overwhelmed
But I can tell I’m on my feet
Left to rolling up the bedsheets
In a world that’s all my own
The best rest is at home and easy
I’ve got a reasonable fissure
But the depth is folding out
Soon enough I’m bound to see me
Cadillac ro-oh-oll (x3)
Whoa-oh
I’ve been over here
Exposing fears and losing sleep
I’ve been overwhelmed
But I can tell I’m on my feet
(Lots of doos)
Ooh, it’s Cadillac

Webs of Light

I’ve been waiting for the right time to call you baby
I wanna get closer to you
I’m waiting for the right time to call you baby
With your beady brown eyes
That stare me down so right
They’re coming for mine
To get the restfulness inside
It’s alright
If the recent change affects how we behave
You ask for a ride
In the pouring rain and I don’t hesitate
It feels really nice
When we rise with the early morning light
It’s blowing my mind
That we’re so good at getting along
Is it the right time to call you baby?
It’s feeling like the right time to call you baby
I think we floated that night
As we let the sound inside
And we might as well try
To spin these webs of light
Oh what a delight
That the love and trust have been here the whole time
And it’s alright
To expand on that foundation as we climb
It’s such a relief
That we both like doing things halfway
It’s hard to believe
That we’re so good at getting along
Now it’s the right time to call you baby
I know it’s the right time to call you baby
Oooh I’m feeling
Feeling like the right time
Oooh I’m feeling
Feeling like the right time
To call you baby

Driftwood

How long does it take
For the trees to become driftwood in your mind?
And how far will you go
To leave on the light of longing when it’s time
To let it go
Let it go
How do you know when it’s time
To carry on and let those old roots die?
How do you know when it’s right
To let it burn and be swallowed up in the tide?
You never knew
It lived inside you
How long does it take
For the trees to become driftwood in your mind?
And how far will you go
To leave on the light of longing when it’s time
To let it go
Let it go
What do you need from the past?
It’s underground and decomposing fast
Why do you need it to last?
Nothing will and nothing ever has
You never knew
It lived inside you
It’s out of your hands
And into the land
How long does it take
For the trees to become driftwood in your mind?
And how far will you go
To leave on the light of longing when it’s time
To let it go

How can I help you be the one that you wanna be?
How can I help you see the light in your honesty?
You’ve already made your mark on my heart
You’ve burrowed in right down to my core...
...in the grand scheme of things
It doesn’t really matter what we do
The day will turn to night
And we’ll lie down in the sky
And wither in the solace of our doom
How could I push away from your gravity?
We’re living out our design of what had to be
You’ve already dropped down deep in me
You’ve fallen in right down to my core...
...in the grand scheme of things
It doesn’t really matter what we do
The day will turn to night
And we’ll lie down in the tide
And huddle as our bodies turn to prunes
I leave your company
And I feel you underneath
My body in the moment as it screams
I’m rarely in the now to this degree

Sensual Doom
03:24
|
|||
|
It’s way too easy (x4)
Take out your eyes
And breathe in the moment of delight
Enter your mind
And scream at the loneliness of life
Could it be right
To leave all the hopelessness behind?
Could it be time
For these apparitions to align?
It’s way too easy (x3)
Take out your mind
And scream at the moment of delight
Lower your guise
And breathe in the loneliness inside
Why can’t we try
To sleep with the screen away from sight?
We’re bleeding outright
And cutting our corners to survive
It’s way too easy (x3)
Wooooo Wooooo
Oh but I don’t mind getting wrapped up in sensual doom
If I’m with you
And there’s nothing to do
If we both just give in to living in sensual doom
We can make it through
And I’ll give it to you

Feels So Right

I gotta say it feels so right to experience the touch of a woman (x2)
So right (x10)
Lovin’ on my mind
Huggin’ all the time
I can feel it in the air
Little bit of this
Little bit of that
I can feel it everywhere
I gotta say it feels so right to experience the touch of a woman (x2)
So right (x10)
Lovin’ on my mind
Huggin’ all the time
I can feel it in the air
Little bit of this
Little bit of that
I can feel it everywhere
(Repeat)
I gotta say it feels so right to experience the touch of a woman (x2)
So right (x10)
Sometimes you gotta give up to understand what it is that you want Sometimes you gotta give in to holding on to the one that you love What’s the use in keeping it all inside
When it feels... it feels so right
(Repeat)

Even In Love

I know we love
The fuck out of each other
But even in love
We can't be it all for each other
I'll try to let it go
But I hope you always know
That the shine in your eyes
Really gets to mine
And I've tried to deny
Oh but there's just no use
I know we love
The fuck out of each other
But even in love
We are not one with one another
I'll try to let it go
But I hope you always know
That the shine in your eyes
Really gets inside
And I've tried to deny
The weight of your light
And I'm fine half the time
And other times I cry
'Cause you're gone from my life
So I remind myself
That I really love the fuck out of you
And I think you really love the fuck out of me too
I'll try to let it go
