floating on the ceiling of the town
the sky is turning over inside out
clouds evaporating in the sun
peeling back the layers of the tongue
as the daylight starts to fade
the caterpillar makes its way
climbing down into the sea into the sea into the sea
underneath your bedroom lies an ocean child eyes
lately when i go to sleep they're next to me they're next to me
they're calling opening illuminating ever incandescently returning me
the mindful touch is moving you it's moving me
my body's keeping score of me it just wants to feel safe
baby don't you know
i'm counting on the seashore?
oh but something so familiar
isn't always right...
over time the air begins to change
everything is different and the same
moving through the winter ice cocoon
incubating slowly with the moon
as the sun begins to linger
wrapping round the tunnel's finger
hear the water trickling the spring is talking tickling
underneath your bedroom lies an ocean child eyes
lately when i go to sleep they're next to me they're next to me
they're calling opening illuminating ever incandescently returning me
the mindful touch is moving me it's moving me
it’s changing rearranging all the pathways in the sand
baby don't you know
i'm counting on the seashore?
oh but something so familiar
isn't always right...

hiding somewhere inside little eye watching out for the sky
growing all of the time little mind you can change on a dime
eloise i know you’re not gonna try unless you want
take your will into your own home
hope you find what you need to be oh complete
counting every seed in the sand below that you’re hoping to grow
eloise i know you’re not gonna try unless you want
one by one that’s how you’ll go home

Evergreen

making space from my birthplace
driving out gotta leave this town
for the sundown forest singing changes
like an ancient chorus as i wander, as i wander out
oh evergreen please allow me to see
mellow my mind tonight
love is inside my eyes
now we’re talking aloud into the ground
feeling the earth and some rebirth
gone upside down by a shady tree
these roots are out and growing leaves me in the moment
and i’m receiving every moment
i am ageless as i call you, as i call you out
oh evergreen please allow me to see
mellow my mind tonight
love is inside my eyes

Whack-a-mole
04:29
|

|
running i was running i was running… and the city was calling and the sky was falling and you could not hear me i was running i was running…
i have been around but i haven’t found
the puzzle piece that’s buried me so far underneath everything
undercover mole cruising through the centuries
when I’m at home and the night is clear
i can feel his heart staring back at me
but when i go to look he just goes away into some other hole
calling “whack-a-mole!” calling “whack-a-mole!”
and he’s running upstream comin’ down disappearing overhead
and when you finally do pull him out, it’s like some kind of victory
and i’m reaching out a hand, a return to sea
i know that it’s okay leaving you today
something in your eyes is like an open door
i know that you are there right next to me
right next to me right next to me right next to me right next to me

Picnic in the Dark
03:51
|
|||
|
i’m still learning which cards i can hold
don’t have to show everything that you know
harboring a grudge won’t relieve you from pain best to love more than hate
having a picnic in the dark i can sit anywhere
there is no light around but i have found a way out here
my brother’s calling and i’m always there
my mother has many times disappeared
father never was any place but they’re both still in my ways
having a picnic in the dark i can sit anywhere
there is no light around but i have found a way out here
having a picnic in the dark everyone’s in their home
i’ll wait for the sun to rise and light my eyes, a very long time

before it’s too late
after it’s too early
in between we’ll mark the date we’ll mark the date
do you know what time it is? do you know what day it is?

Child
04:48
|

|
family name, someone to blame, childhood reward
choir of rain and the rain is warm, hereditary storm
simple wilderness monumental mold
it’s not yours child, you can let it go, let it go
like a language that you have never known
to be kind and still draw a line in the sand
between you and the water so you can safely stand
all alone, i learned it at home
child, my first love, i learned it from home
but finally i can breathe, finally see the light
and the light is you and the light is you and the light is you
some kinda miracle something physical and whole
living in your body lies an old story from long ago
grown into a stranger now you are young and you are old
oh my god i learned it from home
child my first love i got it from home
but finally i can see, finally see the light
and the light is you and the light is you and the light is you

Burning Castle
04:24
|

|
six characters cast
searching for an author who has passed
hoping they will find an answer to their minds that keep cover like a guard in the night
burning castle in the night
corridors filled with light
fire in her arms taking hold
little lamb where have you been?
it’s alright when the morning comes i’ll find it
through the back out the yard little dog’s breathin’ hard
looking round for the bone he remembers
from the early days of living with the sharks in the dark there’s a hint
yellow teacups at night
drinking up the mirrorings of spite
the couple carries on always singing their own song
playing games in the bath while the orchestra goes on
and Bermuda’s waiting there with triangles in her hair
for her own sacrificial lamb
it’s alright when the morning comes i’ll find it

evelyn take my hand go right in to begin again
heaven and hell are a place in your mind
see a small snowfall is the storm growing tall
oh what is this gravity? it’s building up inside
oh let it go for a ride
avalanche death romance twirling down all along
i see you’ve stayed inside
hey, high-five! holding out for what?
too strong to be underneath
evelyn take this branch
hold on tight and slide through the night
into the avalanche let’s have a dance
holding back no more
there’s no other plan take this hand keep it close to your heart Evelyn

carmen in the world at home
wonderin’ had her parents known
living a lie was not the way
to make each other stay
darling tell me when it’s over, tell me when it’s over, tell me if i’ve gotta go
calling in the angels, calling in the angels, calling in the holy dark
keeping order through the dawn
seagull holding out for what?
simple desire for the fall
forging into one sea
darling look the other way dear, look the other way dear, i don’t want to go alone
please don’t leave me hanging, go the other angle, i don’t want to go alone
calling in the angels, calling in the angels, calling in the holy dark

Alone With Someone Else
03:30
|

|
without you the more that i breathe
without you the more that i dream
now my eyes can finally see it’s time better spent
how you said the lilacs were free
looked at me so romantically
but when i move closer to you you disappear
now that i’m alone and you’re alone with someone else i can tell
you’re just a lover cause you can’t be by yourself
i hear that you’re still the same always running away
like a rabbit racing to win the fur on its skin
even now the work doesn’t end but better off here than pretend
‘cause i know that time to recover is time better spent
now that i’m alone and you’re alone with someone else i can tell
you’re just a lover cause you can’t be by yourself

Primavera

el sol se eleva y hace feliz
al cielo y a mi al cielo y a mi
el sol se eleva y hace feliz
al cielo y a mi y la primavera
con su brisa y luz llega
y la verdad junto a ella
la primavera la esperanza
que llena también llega
el sol se eleva
el gris ya no está
estoy fuera ya no hay espiral
bailemos que el sol se elevó
y curó el corazón
con su vibrar y luz llega
y la verdad junto a ella
la primavera la esperanza
que llena también llega

Untourable Album

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
