Dare

the ground beneath my feet will always be shaking
the blood under my skin will always be racing
the centre of my body will always be aching
the death inside of me will always be waiting
dare turn and face me
where i’ll be waiting
yeah come and make me
dare
yeah
I never thought I’d meet you in a place like this
heard you call me here from empty space
holding me to feel the thing in my chest
everything before is gone with no trace
dare turn and face me
where i’ll be waiting
yeah come and make me
dare
yeah
the ground beneath my feet has always been shaking
the blood inside my skin has always been racing
the centre of my body has always been aching
the death inside of me has always been waiting

Ragged Friend
03:27
|

ragged friend I got you
you got summer sunk again, shadow moon
reaching up the vine to find no end
I’m right here with you my sweet friend
don’t turn down your light
there is another side
no answer to the ‘why’
will you let me see you cry
what have we ever done to have all this
sunlight, air, bare skin and fingertips
one whole universe given free
we forget we are more than we can see
don’t turn down your life
there is another side
an answer to the ‘why’
will let me see you cry
you have seen a truth
we needed breaking down
I have seen it too
we needed breaking down
so we could learn to love
ragged friend you’ve got me and i’ve got you
we’ve got summer laid ahead and bare skin to feel it through
I will hold you, you will hold me we are surrounded by this truth
all our friends are with us now, so many friends that we can’t move

Dragging me down
03:23
|
|||
tender heart
today who is talking
and taking the lead
will I be walking
or down on my hands
torn up and mocking
all of my plans
all that I promised
my own hand
keeps dragging me down
keeps spinning me out
I don’t know I can stand
my own hand
keeps dragging me down
keeps spinning me out
I don’t know I can stand
I can’t trust my own hand
I hear darkness
calling my name
oh so sweetly
singing like rain
do I want this
sinking again
please don’t let me
go down in vain

Golden Light
03:05
|
|||
you pour gold into my heart
you don’t care how much it spills out
you pour gold into my heart
you’re gonna fill me up, right to the top
oh my that golden light
pouring right through you
crossed the space between our faces
where the world comes through
I tried and I failed
to hold on to this light
when you left me at the gate
and walked out into the night
you pour gold into my heart
you don’t care how much it spills out
you pour gold into my heart
you’re gonna fill me up, right to the top
sometimes I want you still
sometimes I want you wild
pressing into your lips
you and I making time
well I have searched and you have searched
and nothing is just right
what if we stay right here
and give in to this life

Sunny Hills

|

hold my hands
over my head
take off my dress
come mess up my bed
build me a house
play in my band
sing through my mouth
join me as I am
our love is our rebellion
the Everyone Union
our love is our surrender
each love that’s been will meet us here
lift up your eyes
I won’t hide
plenty of time
to go for a ride
dance at my show
set me alight
I am home
being unknown
our love is our rebellion
the Everyone Union
our love is our surrender
each love that’s been will meet us here

Thank You
03:53
|
|||
I hope we are together
in our last moments of life
and that we believe
we are about to die
and there will be time
to look you in the eyes
everything goes quiet
i’m telling you
thank you
I love you
forgive me
I forgive you
but you might have to leave me
be first into that light
or I might have to leave you
if it’s my time
and one of us stays
in the world a while
either way
i’ll be saying
thank you
I love you
forgive me
I forgive you

These Words
02:13
|
|||
these words are fooling us
me with their writing
you with their reading
let us do away with them
and look into each other more easily
it seems like you’re over there
and i’m over here
but surely we are together
we can discover this
over and over
we forget and remember
where do we travel to
in between our words
is that the place where we are
the most together
where do we travel to
in between our thoughts
where we will be most likely
to find each other
you took a drink of me
you couldn’t speak
and then I could see you
I was so thirsty
to understand you
to be understood too
it’s hard to give up words
to trust the silent space we find here
would you remind me
if you find me lost in my fear

Come to Me
03:59
|
|||
come to me in beauty
come to me in song
come to me in silence
come to me when I’m wrong
be my touch of tender
be my pain’s reward
be the never growing light
I’m always moving toward
come over as you are
come over as you are
honey it’s so easy to please me
if you please your heart
come now to me barren
or with your basket full
we’ll hold each others heads when we
can’t raise them anymore
come to me in splinters
we'll build ourselves a tree
to shade us both in summer
and drink sunlight through our leaves
come over as you are
come over as you are
come over as you are
honey it’s so easy to please me
if you please your heart
come to me commanding
or come to me in shame
come to me forgiven
I can’t help but share your name
show me down the hall and
through the open door
be my ever aching heart
I’d still like a little more
come over as you are
come over as you are
only as you are
honey it’s so easy to please me
if you please your heart
come over as you are
come over as you are
come over as you are
honey it’s so easy to please me
if you please your heart
honey it’s so easy to please me
if you please your heart

Middle Lion
03:33
|

let every breath
be just as itself
I surround the beauty
I am in every you (In every lack of me)
I am in every pain
explore yourself
so that others may
benefit from your universe
benefit from your wounds (benefit from your body)
I hear you coming down the stairs
no we won’t be seperate
no we won’t be tame
no we won’t be divided
if I won’t play that game
the sum of every life spent
from now until the very end
the rush of every moment
our love into the very end
of nothing we are
in the furnace we become
forgive yourself the jealousy
forgive yourself the hurt (forgive yourself of everything)
nothing is what it seems

Worship
02:46
|
|||
the darkness won’t be leaving me lonely
I have every moment to connect
and if i still feel hunger I can use that
I‘ve always had it all inside my breast
will you hold my face when the party is over
remind we where I am if I forget
you bring me back to all that is sober
where emptiness was there is a net
I knew when I was child
there‘re mountains on all sides
and long unbroken lines
of those who made the climb
to worship all the world makes the world whole
i’m a sinner to withhold it from myself
seeking adoration it weakens me
did I forget or ever know who I am
in the land of abundance and poverty protect me from greed
come to me as the generosity
of the warming ocean of sun around
every sensation of cold
I dreamed when I was child
there‘re mountains on all sides
and long unbroken lines
of those who made the climb
and moved with open eyes
no matter what the sight
who fought to clear their minds
and give what is my life
