BURN YOUR LIES We could spend our lives trying to get things right gotta ask ourselves who’s deciding I slept right through convinced all of you and myself, till I fell What a mess we’ve made with the human state the choice is ours hell or heal Can you love yourself even when you’re wrong can you stand and fail ‘cause you’ll have to What makes you feel alive? open eyes beam like a child let sunlight go in live the stuff of dreams There’s no bad or good there’s no final truth just a moment shared are you there? There is sacrifice in the sacred fire can you burn your lies tonight? What makes you feel alive? open eyes beam like a child let sunlight go in live the stuff of dreams

I’LL BE THERE Did you see the red blood moon from the place in which you stood or did the metal and the madness mean it couldn’t get to you Did you hear the mountain calling how the dawn it knows your name or did you turn your body over choose to fall asleep again I will be there, there, there I will be there Don’t say I don’t care, I do And I’ll be there Did you feel that sweet elation when the baby learned to smile or did you miss that fateful moment trying to find your place in life Did you touch the depths of love hold the hunter’s weathered hand or did you run back to your fortress ‘cause you couldn’t understand Before the darkness takes our child before the history takes our wild before the damage takes our dreams and life takes you from me I will be there, there, there I will be there Don’t say I don’t care, I do And I’ll be there Did you taste sorry on your tongue feel with them what you had done or did you simply say the words so you could sooner have your fun Did you smell the springtime Jasmine how it lets its flowers give or did you walk by in a bubble head down hungering how to live

May The Wind 05:07
MAY THE WIND Did you know, jealousy can kill did you know, a child’s love can melt any heart in the room did you know, forgiveness heals all wounds did you know, I’m coming home soon I didn’t know you thought you’d never love again look at you now, smiling up at clouds - like a madman I didn’t know your Mama died if I’d have known, I’d have come to say good-bye but just like you, she’s gone from me now just like you, she’s all but disappeared But it was your eyes I saw crying it was you I held in the night now you look at me blank-faced and say nothing happened that it was all my fault anyway sometimes the conversation is one way only but I refuse to never trust again Maybe it’s true we do live many lives all wrapped up in one you were a world, love is a place and when I’m dreaming I still see your face I didn’t know your Mama was dying now you wake yourself up crying and I’m not there to hold you now may the wind still speak her name may the wind still speak her name But it was your eyes I saw crying and it was you I held in the night but it was your eyes I saw crying and it was you I held in the night May the wind still speak her name may the wind still speak her name may the wind still speak her name

SACRED SAFETY Why can’t a woman be home alone without fearing I don’t wanna keep my voice down with the doors locked in some kind of hiding There’s a shadow in my dreams but I’m gunna beam light from within I’m gunna call the angels in I’m gunna stand my ground and sing When will the brothers take the lead in keeping each other clear create a world where we need not fear when will the tides change truly so we can learn to trust again and we can learn to love again I’m not afraid of the dark I’m afraid of the pain people carry the puppeteers and the hearts on strings and the monster that we’ve made There comes a time gotta break the cycle there comes a time gotta break the chains and learn to trust again and learn to love again Night breeze upon us doors wide open I’ll rest with my daughter in sacred safety Time has come gotta break the cycle time has come gotta heal the pain and learn to trust again and learn to love again

GEOMORPHOLOGY The changing ground body ripples in collapse brain crushed by itself relentless relapse relentless relapse Your charisma wisdom speaks and we gather in your wings to witness how it is when someone is truly themselves truly themselves in all their ugliness missing teeth and a leering smile from the shadows of this pirate ship - this Don’t talk to me like I am a child I am water in every form this planet blooming and unblooming booming and unbooming erupt crack split buckle bend swap fuck breathe erupt crack split buckle bend swap fuck breathe Tectonic plates shift daily incremental changes it’s been a big time lately beneath the surface, beneath the surface of things And I will learn calligraphy just to paint perfect question marks all over the street and I hope they know - I hope they know it was me Does the Earth ever get bored of itself and wish it were Jupiter a black hole or a star ‘cause I do, ‘cause I do, ‘cause I do Don’t talk to me like I am a child don’t talk to children like that either this planet blooming and unblooming booming and unbooming this planet blooming and unblooming booming and unbooming Free to destroy or create in the subtle day-to-day and the fire on the horizon is gaining on us gaining on us, gaining on us erupt crack split buckle bend swap fuck breathe erupt crack split buckle bend swap fuck breathe

KING OF THE WORLD We’ll find there is an endpoint only so long till we know finite forgiveness we’ll reap seeds we’ve sown Humans and animals are different in one way they know their purpose while ours is a missing case But for now sun goes down mesmerised by coloured clouds but for now rain drops like pearls for now we’re king of the world Stars died some time ago and we’re still catching up light years away from us perhaps God’s given up Lifetimes of learning will we realise when we die that all our precious stories were lived in oversight But for now sun goes down mesmerised by coloured clouds but for now rain drops like pearls for now we’re king of the world Cast out and careless we threw our hearts around took the creatures from the ocean took the treasures from the ground It’s a dangerous game we’re playing and what if we lose some must fall for the future but it won’t be me or you

Factory Girl 04:55
FACTORY GIRL Factory girl made her choices in a choiceless world she’s empowered ‘cause she has to be just ‘cause there’s no cage doesn’t mean you’re free factory girl holds back her desire to hurl for the money she’ll do what you say collect your memories she’ll collect her pay Time and torment force her body like a slave cash-flow capital oh this is visceral for some who feel the burden of bureaucracy while daily we are losing our humanity After all is said and done big-game players had their fun who’ll pick up the broken things stitch new feathers to her wings let her go, let her be let her go, let her free Mind numbing heart strumming breath quickens get me out of here Factory boy works the mine like it’s a giant toy his body bears the weight of gold he’s the pawn while all is bought and sold Factory man nameless number we just want his hands shoot the weapon when we tell you to the war’s not over till we say it’s through After all is said and done big-game players had their fun who’ll pick up the broken things stitch new feathers to his wings let him go, let him be let him go, let him free Mind numbing heart strumming breath quickens get me out of here

JELLY BEAN TREE Lay your stones out on the ground so we can play together the colours and shapes that you’ve collected trinkets and feathers Oh, hand your heart out like a secret we’ll pass it in our hands we’ll pick out all those grains of hate return them to the sands Come set her free, jelly bean tree jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree Erosion is necessity wind and water weathers but this heart inside my rib-cage is sometimes too protected Oh, pour your brains out in the pallet we’ll play with all the patterns we’ll figure out a cover story if someone asks what happened Come set her free, jelly bean tree jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree If you fall first and I fall second we cannot help each other the moon in bloom my only saviour body in the gutter Jelly beans and chocolate buttons dissolving in our blood-stream we giggle and we kiss each other theatre of our dreams and there’s trees of sweets and sacred creatures telling us to follow but there’s something not quite right about this your eyes are looking hollow Come set her free, jelly bean tree jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree, jelly bean tree

Get It Out 05:13
GET IT OUT I can’t breathe with these thoughts in me this is not the life I want to lead this sickness is eating us up if I’ll never be good enough might as well give up it’s the same old cycles in a different time Grandma wanted to stay beautiful and so she died This does not belong to you Get it out, get it out ooohhh I’ve been hating on myself blaming it on you dancing in dark circles a bully through and through I say breasts like these were not made to please and it’s only so long till they won’t meet his needs this beauty beast keeps us locked away defeats our lifeforce chains us up in shame I stare at women just to see where I fit she beat me at some things but I beat her at hips This does not belong to you Get it out, get it out ooohhh Fuck my person, fuck my thinking fuck my kindness, fuck my dreams cause we all know that these are not the important things if you won’t love me forever then don’t bother today I’ll make it easy for you and push you away I can see another way meet each other and ourselves in full embrace I’m sorry darling that I ruined our night forcing you to justify the way you live your life I’m sorry women that I blamed these things on you I honour your essence and I honour your truth Society may have us be enemies but I want to walk beside you and shape our dreams Society may have us be enemies but I want to walk beside you and shape our dreams

Nectar 03:39
NECTAR The fire was their witness of a silk that spun till dawn the sacred artist smiling to see such beauty form This love like lightning with friendship freedom sings stories stir our hopefulness with wisdom as our wings Hold on tightly and let him show you Hold on lightly and let her know you There in the places they enter the soul delights to grow mountain meets with ocean with always more to know Held in the breast like a vision the Jacarandas bloom all of our natures forgiven casting hearts beneath the moon Hold on tightly and let her show you Hold on lightly and let him know you Committing love eternal to one pure precious friend revealing self to other and into self ascend The nectar of this union majestic like the rain and we praise the holy rhythms that they’ve found each other again Hold on tightly and let him show you Hold on lightly and let her know you

Coming Home 04:10
COMING HOME Home, home, home Coming home is the reason for living this remembering and forgetting kind of life She draws me to her to swim in her blissful light of love yet I know her here now yet I know her here now Then I leave the harsh reality of this physical body distract and I forget yet I know her here now yet I know her here now Big picture where am I needed most does it matter it’s all the same place anyway I am torn to stay in this body from some deep crevice inside love can heal this body love can heal this body love can heal this body exciting me as to what’s next here on this earth Big picture where am I needed most does it matter it’s all the same place anyway Love is here, love is here and the journey will play itself out my devoted soul must be patient and return to the blissful light of love now my devoted soul must be patient and return to the blissful light of love now my devoted soul must be patient and return to the blissful light of love now Coming home is the reason for living this remembering and forgetting kind of life Home, home, home, home (Lyrics by Gabrielle Armondo)

Rainbow Song 03:58
RAINBOW SONG You ask if we all feel we’re at the centre of the rainbow the truth is I don’t feel I’m at the centre of anything Can I have just one thing just one thing just for me We’re stealing conversations in the hallways flash of freedom so far I’ve loved each sentence and each pause that you gave I know I’m not the centre of your rainbow or your dreams peripheral epiphany I can sing your harmonies blink my tears and dust my knees see where music carries me and get on with my life Can I have just one thing just one thing just for me Can I have just one night just one night just for me I’ve been trying to make the world a better place with my lyrics and my poems but the happiest I ever feel is stroking dogs and talking real lovingly preparing meals running shapes into the fields face-paint dragons gold and teal living my own life Can I give just one night, just one night just to you Can I give just one thing, just one thing just to you You ask me if I feel I’m at the centre of the rainbow I tell you actually I feel a little to one side I’m home alone with indigo, violet, crimson on the go watching stars through closed windows admit the things I cannot know cut up colours, learn to sew make a patchwork rainbow and sleep in the centre of myself
