Never long ago Never far away Took a little word Put it on a tongue Put it in a song Tried to tell a story Something you could hear Something you could touch Maybe understand Maybe even love Like a little child Always in your heart Always in your mind Always in your rib cage Telling you to hold me Hold me You hold me under the sun So you took a seed Put it in my heart Then it start to crack Then it start to grow Into something small Into something big Something like a bridge Something like a boat Maybe like a world Maybe like a sun Maybe like a child Always in your heart Always in your mind Always in your rib cage Telling you to hold me Hold me You hold me under the sun

I am a pebble I sank down, down to the deep of the sea I got swallowed by a stingray And that is where I’ll stay For a time In the belly of a stingray And meanwhile the rings On the surface Batter the coasts of Japan Don’t be mad: A clumsy heart is bound to stumble Remember the day You shot your arrow into the sun With a slip of your tongue You split the sky all open Sent a torrent tumbling down Nearly carried us both away You found your footing now But meanwhile the storm Batters the coasts of Japan Don’t be mad: A clumsy heart is bound to stumble We are the coasts of Japan

Chimes echo through Open windows And empty rooms And the neighbors can hear everything I remember the cross breeze And my buckling knees And the slow And then the frenzy And I would do anything Chimes ring out in broken time We’re shouting, we’re shouting We don’t care… We leave the windows open Sensory overload Then deprivation I wanted to hate you But then your scent again Bring back everything Through the window Into my hollow I am a child again Throw my arms wide again Take you inside again Where all of the lies don’t mean anything Chimes ring out in broken time We’re shouting, we’re shouting We don’t care… We leave the windows open

She came up to the surface Her eyes had never known the light Struck blind, arms and legs, And heart began to flail around The net went down She couldn’t fight Wind-Up Child He dove deep into the ocean So deep, where the monsters hide With all their wild hunger In the dark alone forever How could they know better Than to eat him up alive Wind it, wind it, wind it, Wind-Up Child Pull me close and flip me over Still inside like birds in flight We were the kite was taken By the wind into the night And so the story heighten And so the story die When we wind up the story When we wind it up too tight Ok, Wind-Up Child Ok, my Wind-Up Child We play all night And then we die to stay alive Wind-Up Child Sometimes You’ve got to die to stay alive Sometimes Wind, wind, wind . . .

Hana 03:46
No matter how hard I try I can’t say what I plan It happen every time I get the open I imagine You know my skin feel your eye Whenever you in the room Hana, Hana When you gonna make that move? Hana, Hana, Don’t you wanna? Hana, Hana, When you gonna make that move? You know I’m way more cool Than I act when I’m around you My tongue decide to hide Behind a smile, behind a lie My box is blue She weeping, weeping for you Hana, Hana When you gonna make that move? When I wake up with you all through my brains To the edge of shaking rage Are you awake and aching too? Could you make that move?

Something happens when you watch me I grow feathers soft and white Sounds like glitter, tastes so bright Just like whirlwind dynamite I’m a drum under your sun Warm my skin and make me tight Come and play me loud as light Wake the sleepers, shake the night Something happens when you watch me Lay me out under the sky Paint my body with your eyes All the trees they clap their leaves In the breeze we swell and sigh Something happens when you watch me Fairies laugh and arrows fly Fill me up until we cry Let’s be quiet for a while Something happens when you watch me Silence As large as life Cracks me open wide It happens when you watch me Something happens when you watch me

Geology 05:53
We Float upon a sea Of glowing stone Not something that we chose It is We are Crashing into each other! We’re tectonic, outside of time We collide, we make mountains Until the sun explodes we will be Crashing into each other! I come I go My body stays Your memory, molten waves Melt me down deep below the sea I am unmade We are Crashing into each other! We’re tectonic . . . Planets race by Ages come and go We just hang out Making volcanoes I think of your hands I’m lava again The ground is trembling The natives are quaking They’re making a sacrifice But it’s only a matter of time before Eruption Slow, calm, crash, grind Push ourselves toward the sky Touch, make, become Each other Collide The sky does not belong to the sky The sea does not belong to the sea We do not belong to each other We are geology
