A solemn touch of flame ignites my fascination and pulls my loaded brain A body in the sky fraught with deep frustration You would not be contained Ablaze in your last life blinding and relentless faithless and divine You held us in a trance instant and in succession Ensnared by our designs When they gave you a name a price tag and a number a cheque and a disguise You doused out every light into pure speculation you left us with our lies Distant impressions is my light reaching you? From with direction is my life flowing through? Form of expression I would rather die than have to choose Distant impressions In my night Pull me through - - - - - - -

Brother, looked away my face Carried on me the mark of Cain It was a summer's day We didn't hesitate Though the spirits run I fed it all to me And I remember not what I've done but only what I've seen Give it all, but all I do is take And all I do is hesitate Oooh, aw aw, whoa whoa My father died and left it all to me And I remember not what I've done but only what I've been I remember Not what I've done - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Who are you? Brother are you my bride? Who are you? Crooked through the divide So sweet I did you straight from inside So sweet I did you open up wide Honey I set your forests alight Honey I burn it bright burn it bright Family My mother brother tonight Family so darling don't be uptight

Sasquatch 08:19
You say there is no other way No other way than what you know The petal falls on your last day The plowman reaps just what he sows And oh the seeds that he must grow And of the tracks left in the snow . . . There are those who get ahead And there are those who fall behind You might wish that you were dead I might wish that I was blind But there is really no end in sight One has to quench one's appetite . . . My heart is in my first Hold it up against the light Groping blinding for your pulse It eludes you every night The air is thinner up in the hills So many pass into the hills . . .

Swales 08:19
Arrow to the dawn Harbor no reason Hold your breath, hold you breath You're gonna catch your death Mantra, sitting stone Leave your, don't leave your home Hold your breath, hold your breath You're gonna catch your death Seaweed, ocean floor Silence, speak no more Hold your breath, hold your breath You're gonna catch your death Circling round we never see the sun go down

All of this time flows out of mind Into the bind Past phantom spheres set in Calculated clutter It stays out of grasp unless you stop reaching And find you are breaching the very line you drew around your head To which you keep halting you need to stop faulting Space for confinement Don't trust the bondage you feel Eclipse the line . . . And find you are breaching the very line you drew around your head To which you keep halting you need to stop faulting

Whipcrack! 04:45
Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my... Setting out from Easter Island with a bucket of stones and a compass in my hand 'Cause the sea is risin' and the sky is fallin' they say the ringing in your ears is the sirens callin' Not a day goes by 81st story, the United Nations when we go on vacation they're all under occupation In flagrante delicto, it follows that the breeders of today will be the leaders of tomorrow Not a day goes by There are those who ventured for the far dimensions boy if you want to survive, you best be rid of those pretentions 'Cause the Earth is flat and under high demand If you don't invest in land then . . . where will you stand? Not a day goes by

Take Take freely from me Take freely from me Take I've got so much to give I've got nothing left to give - - - - - - - - - - - - - Free Free Our mother is free Our mother is free So are we She's got so much to give She's got nothing left to give So take freely

Concentric circles and parallel lines we are of one spirit, we are of one mind Our paths won't cross in the currency time but I can feel your fingers at the base of my spine Firm of grip and tender of mirth kissed by indulgence and the touch of the earth Standing not to just do as you are sold Pale one, your hands have grown so bold My ancestors said to me . . . You are both first and last You are both first and last You are both first and last You are both first and, you're first and you're Last, now, you've got a past, now, you hold it so close Hold it so close to what you own And leave the lawman by the wayside because the laws aren't set in stone I know we all have our intentions but we all know that this bird has flown So bring your drums out and dig your damns up because We are coming home I had to find out for myself so I ran my fingers inside of your well In the dorsal posture the scripture unwinds trace back the origins left so long undefined Slender digits startle in their pride gentle callous, sweet divide Generations bred into the folds pale one, your hands have grown so old Love me, and you can touch me, and you can strike me, and I'll keep one hand on my own You know the lawman he keeps it loaded because he knows his cover is blown I know we all have our opinions but can you liberate the skin from bone It's been a long time, so open your arms wide because We are coming home

When you go to sleep When you go to sleep Bring something home for me There are some things you must keep There are some things you must keep But what's left don't keep from me If the walls have learned to speak And if the trees have learned to speak Then it's the walls that you must heed And it's the trees that you must heed Drink down this offering Drink it down because it is free Believe - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The fever hits the streets The clouds fall to the sea Hold fast to your feet And when god kneels by your bed Remember what he said He hates to be misread Now come back home to me Come back home to me Don't linger out of reach The nail pulled from the door The coat falls to the floor - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hold me in your arms Hold me in your heart Keep me safe from harm Keep me safe from harm
