Storybook
This is the story of the story’s birth
I found the answer in a cartoon frame
I heard a song and so my future changed
You draw from life which I believe in
You tear down walls; you raise the ceiling
To save the world depends on slowing down
And standing up for those you care about
Color and line
Give and take time
You are the answer to the argument
Our power lies within our resonance
This is the tale of how you plant the seed
This is the tree of fruit empowering how we see

Cathedral of Pine
I hold discarded bows
That held your hand like
I wish you had held mine.
In the dark, I taste the earth,
As the loon calls prayers
Into the night
Oh This is way
Of the chapel of light
Where the fire can grow
Something deep inside
Oh Take me away
To the cathedral of pines
Where my heart can be still
While the whippoorwill cries
The thrush it ducks and weaves
Through rose and lets me know
The sun has caught fire
Does he like me come here
to chase away his fear,
And ease a troubled mind
Oh This is way
Of the chapel of light
Where the fire can grow
Something deep inside
Oh Take me away
To the cathedral of pines
Where my heart can be still
While the whippoorwill cries
I count the breaths to take the shot,
The light is still, my heart is not
I dress him down, the hours wain
His tale, my day, The end the same
Because This is way
Of the cathedral of light
Where the fire wil grow
Something deep inside
Go on and take me away
To the cathedral of the pines
Where my heart can be still
While the whippoorwill cries

Secondhand Lemonade
Even if you feel like sinking
Time will tell the tales of tomorrow
Sorrow will only get you so far
Only get you so so so so so so far
And it’s easy to believe
That everything will be handed to you on a plate
And it’s easy to concede
To the doubt that’s rife
That pulls you down
But strengths comes
To those who wait
Stand strong
Believe in fate
Believe in fate
Believe in fate
Secondhand lemonade
Still tastes the fucking same
But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
Secondhand lemonade
Still tastes the fucking same
But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
Secondhand lemonade
Still tastes the fucking same
But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
(She grabbed my hand
Told me to stay
Asked me what I wanted
I didn’t know what to say)
Secondhand lemonade
Still tastes the fucking same
But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
(Moment like this
They define us
Rise above the noise
That confines us)
My mind is caged by the doubt you see
Suffocates these dreams
Tell myself I won’t succeed
And I’ve been living like this
I’ve been living like this
Far too damn long now
Trying to find my way out
But my mind is maze
Circus tent ablaze
Clowns running round my head like little birds
Cartoon confusion depicted
And I’ve been living like this
I’ve been living like this
Far too damn long now
Trying to find my way out
So it’s time to reset
No time for regret
Time to turn this story around
So I’m holding on
Just about
Praying something comes from all these lyrics that I shout
Please someone to take a chance on me
Please
Secondhand lemonade
Still tastes the fucking same
But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
Secondhand lemonade
Still tastes the fucking same
But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
Secondhand lemonade
Still tastes the fucking same
But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
(She grabbed my hand
Told me to stay
Asked me what I wanted
I didn’t know what to say)
Secondhand lemonade
Still tastes the fucking same
But they just throw it away like it’s nothing
(Moment like this
They define us
Rise above the noise
That confines us)
I found myself
Caught in a landslide
Troubled youth
I Troubled you
I learnt my lines
You taught your lessons
Beneath the lights
Sat down in our comfort
People grow
People change
Brand new beginnings
It’s alright
To feel this pain
Don’t live within it
Don’t overthink it
Even if you feel like sinking
Time will tell the tales of tomorrow

Catching Lightning
Truth is a cave in a cold backwater mountain
Isolated in the eyes of a new moon
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohh
Yeh yeh
Ohh when you see fire, there is no higher high
Catching lightning all night till you see the horizon, in the morning light
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohh
Yeh yeh
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohh
Yeh yeh
Cargo cults comedies at bamboo airports
Straighten out so they see you
Sober up for the camera you’re facing
Switching the lights on in you
Ohh when you see fire, there is no higher high
Catching lightning all night till you see the horizon, in the morning light
Don’t check me out I'm out for lunch
Don’t check me out I'm out for lunch
We’re all catching lightning
We’re all catching lightning
We’re all catching
We’re all catching lightning
We’re all catching lightning
We’re all catching
We’re all catching
We’re all catching lightning

Animam Nondum Efflavi (I Have Not Yet Exhaled My Spirit)
animam nondum efflavi,
tametsi eam vulneravi;
parce mihi frater,
tam longe meo carne.
quando te deterrui
et quo furtim effugisti?
te quoniam necavi.
mortuis adiunxisti
vel phasmatibus perditis?
redde mihi vitam
quam in noctem abstractam.
[English]:
I have not yet exhaled (flared out) my spirit,
Though I have caused her harm (wounded her) ;
Forgive me, my brother,
So distant (remote) from my flesh.
When did I cause you to flee in terror,
and whither have you quietly (furtively) fled?
For I have murdered (killed) you.
Have you joined the company of [the] depraved phasms (spirits) ?
Return to me the life (vitality)
that was dragged off into the night.

Hollow Bones
Into the underworld
There we met the special ones
Our spirit animals
Into the underworld
There we met the special ones

Candy Land
In the symbols of your faith
Gone are days of muscadine
Nightmares follow like a wraith
Tears of sparrows, Brothers blood
Laid a curse on holy ground
Buried boundless in the mud
For the joy of tainted crowns
Go down Moses lead the band
Fill their mouths with desert sand
Milk and honey in their heads
Dreaming of a candy land
Children’s sorrow, hidden well
Drowned out by a gospel song
Trouble hid behind the veil
Lost in plain sight all along
Go down Moses lead the band
Fill their mouths with desert sand
Milk and honey in their heads
Dreaming of a candy land
Milk and honey
Running wild
Hungry mouths are full of sand
Go down Moses, meek and mild
Raise your cane and lead the band
Say farewell to freedom child
Welcome them to
Candy land
