Four white walls, a list of pitfalls
I'm alone with my brain again
Trapped in my mind, the clock is unkind
No sleep, just pain again
Everything will be okay, everything is going fine
Everything will be okay, dear friend of mine
Everything will be okay, everything is going fine
Everything will be okay, I'm trapped in my mind
My skin is crawling, my stomach's rumbling
A roaring nest of bees inside
Under my eyes a thousand black flies
Eat away at the light inside

Tree Song

I am dispatching a future sapling
Some day I'll plant my roots and grow
Caught up in a current, swept up in service
To ride the wind where it may go, oh
Wind carry me home, wind carry me home
Oh, to float on alone, wind carry me home
The sky is cracking, lit up and flashing
Tears from above push me below
The wind is ruthless, but never truthless
It's found me a place my roots can grow, oh
Wind carry me home, wind carry me home
Oh, to float on alone, wind carry me home
(Adapted excerpt from "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman:)
I saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing
All alone it stood and the moss hung down from the branches
Without any companion it stood there, uttering joyous leaves of dark green
But I wondered how it could utter joyous leaves, standing alone without a friend or lover near, for I knew very well I could not.
And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves
A curious token, it makes me think of human love
For all that, and though the Live-Oak glistens there in Louisiana,
Solitary, in a wide flat space,
Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend or lover near,
I know very well I could not

Summer Moon

Breathe in the smell of spring for the first time
Oh, that feeling, sending shivers down my spine, oh
I'll burn all my winter clothes
Cast off dark thoughts, let them melt with the snow
When grey clouds fade and grass does grow,
I'll burn all my winter clothes
And if I'm still the same, maybe I'll never change
And if I'm still the same, maybe I'll never change, never change
Too soon, the air grows thick and sweltering
Underneath the summer moon, we won't forget the kiss of spring, oh

The past makes you who you are
But who you are is not who you were in the past
I tried to speak but words were falling
I'll never see you again, but I don't mind
I sure hope you don't read my intentions wrong
But unpacking everything I say would take too long

Dreams (a lullaby)
03:45
|

The day has come and gone
Night sky keeps the sun at bay
Grey skies are drifting on
Let your head rest and sleep away the night
Drifting through celestial bodies, your mind slips into
The places you will visit tonight, I bid you goodnight
In my travels through slumber's dreaming
I met a poor man who needed help
I gave him a word of kindness
He thanked me and spread his angel wings
And took flight
