I'm just trying to find what's important
this is how to lose track of our lives
power to the peaceful
she walks in astonishing health
a little bit on edge
come on my my my foreigner
i'm in love with the thought of
sparks that set the prarie ablaze
just a phase my beautiful fighting girl
cutie it's worth the trouble
to disappear a thousand years
let a hundred flowers blossom
don't attempt to save them
let x be a sovereign
we can all define it
we are lost, we are lost
one can see one's self with the world
it can be different
it's the light that guides us, honey
unreceptive nine times out of ten
wishes don't find us, we find them betwixt the silence
only lonely souls seek to find every sign, every sign
old season fades out forgetting how wasted joy tasted
it's the light inside us, honey
in defense of someone crazy
is there life on mars
is there anybody out there waiting for me
it's the light of my century
every now and then I'm happy
life is not a foreign country, infinite and quiet
all things are wanting of a place to call their only universe
so force it if you must
to every feat a ribbon
to every shore a sea
I will not take them all, my dear
only what belongs to me
hey sky, I wanna rip you up
maybe I'm not strong enough
maybe I'm not fast enough
are these feathers I see spinning with me
we don't know who we are
we don't know where we are
each of us woke up one moment, and here we were in the darkness
nameless things with no memory
no knowledge of what went before
no understanding of what is now
no knowledge of what will be
question mark, why is space so dark
when anywhere you go
you will find starry light
am i the only one who doesn't think we're all alone here
destiny is strange isn't it
the earth is round, there is no up or down
to wander endlessly forward
lines of escape we make
organs of capture call us home
these fuzzy, uncountably infinite sets of holes
they found a place to share, to raise the day and light the night
every age has its own poetry
every stage, circumstantial of history
every page, words shrouded in mystery
memento mori, crowning glory, so says the story
choose a nation, a god, a race, a class to shake
take up the torch for the world that we make
must be of the heart, expressed or transcended
together not apart, in love, here we are, amor fati
so tell me that this love is all we are
this simple story, this carousel we're on
a kind voice, a gentle face
a friend who vanished without a trace
this is the place for us, the place for us
make this the place we love, or learn to love
to join our separate lives to seize and multiply
endless assembly line extracting from you
comb your hair
smooth your dress
tidy up, smile for us
clear your throat
take a breath
giddy up, smile for us
chin up
don't bet on sinking ships because they'll turn your chips to trash
you've got to set your sights and hopes on setting not to crash
the truth can seem quite bleak if you don't make your plans unfurl, but I would not let that mar my opinion of the world
go to war, fight more
your dreams thrive by competition
you'll find no one famous ever got there just by flinching at their foes
cling against the torment, claw with all your might at what you know
don't let go, just grow
don't wait or play to indecision
the truth can be of use when you can see where falsehoods lay
don't quit on hopes or dreams
chin up
don't bet on sinking ships because they'll only drag you down
you've got to keep on sailing when you want to frown
the world will keep on turning no matter where you land
you might as well be running when your feet should hit the sand
you've got the means to live and it needs merely to be found
is anyone there
build a song
all the clouds
seems so special
like there's just so much
there's no magic
nothing's easy, nothing's too hard
with everyone's love
it's just love
history is an unfolding of expositional over-abundance
will you tell me where the sun goes
can you really love it all in a world that's not worth loving
that can't be loved (at least not in it's entirety)
tell me, who does the sun turn her back on
my princess, my rainbow mother earth
through the snow we're chasing so fast my heart's racing
flying down mountains so tall
I would never change what our past is it's who we are
I just can't control where my mind goes when it goes too far
so we stay awake like we always do and we try to recreate
so far from me now, but oh I can hear the sound
we belong dutifully standing side by side
welcoming the morning and night
my run is over, a world on shoulders
we belong holdin' on
maybe you can find
none of you will ever grow, ever love because none of you will ever know
though life is but a dream you fasten every seam
everything could be different
these old weeds, wild and anarchic kings
braiding rhizomes so far from home
magic's what magic does
you taught me all kinds of languages
the farthest reaches of her will
measures a heart, faithful and strong
as strong as it needs to be
and it needs to be mended when broken by a promise untrue
it's a long way over for a ten-timer
can't this train run any faster
they will come and save you from this freedom thrust upon your name
wayward cloud, trace this ground your whole life
you must go on, you must always go on
to roadless travel, together we go
oh don't you cry dear, we're here
maybe you're a little late
maybe you're a hurricane
please stay a while
it's breathtaking moments in life
you can tell this is all I ever wanted from someone else
someone just like you
is it a secret I don't think so
am I selfish I don't think so
any change, any loss does not make us victims
others can shake you, surprise you, dissappoint you but they can't prevent you from acting
from taking the situation you're presented with
and moving on
no matter where you are in life,
no matter what your situation,
you can always do something
you always have a choice and that choice can be power
we are living our lives
abound with so much information
come on, let go of the remote
don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in
try to stop the flow, double-clicking on the go
but it's no use, hey i'm being consumed
loading loading loading
quickly reaching maximum capacity
warning warning warning
gonna short-circuit my identity
get up on your feet, tear down the walls
catch a glimpse of the whole world
snooping around town will get you nowhere
you're locked up in your mind
we're all trapped in a maze of relationships
life goes on with or without you
I swim in the sea of the unconscious
I search for your heart, pursuing my true self
tell me why you did it
every dream falling apart
withered flowers forget
what they wept for day after day
withered flowers blossom
in the stream of tears
they still think of the cause
turning misery into meaningfulness
changing day after day
I once ran away from the god of fear
and he chained me to despair
focus on your ability
then they can't get what they want to steal
I learned that never give up
let me explain
I believe
virgo, go on and on
a herdsman and hunting dogs
leo, andromeda, equuleus and pegasus
old as they are, they'll still dance for you girl
we can have a wonderful life together
if we make it wonderful
mama, hold on to me
galaxy, line by line
becoming new without a place
being together, being together
is enough, big dipper
come out and play under midnight, midnight
when she awoke and looked in the mirror,
sure enough, little dipper
stardust still sparkled in her eyes
hopper, dear, I thought I'd find you here
by the window, waiting for something more
galaxy, where did you go that summer afternoon
been meaning to ask you
she went to a beautiful place where everything is peaceful
and everyone loves each other and no one ever gets sick
do you think there's really a place like that?
watch for the signs
darling you'll be alright
open your window
turn on the light
hush now
troubled days is all they say
when you walk into the room
walk into the room
little do they know, little do they know
vivid things
the vivid things you see
the unfiltered world you see
to pieces, thoughts unclean
to pieces, animal instinct
she dances miles ahead of the curve
wandering but never lost (will you guide them?)
they catch your gaze
finally see the colors in your eyes
the colors in your eyes
I walk forward only to find
this place, but not quite home
doe eyes walk forward
and you will find a place to call your own
darlin', I know you can carry two
help me to go beyond solitude
holding you on the wave we become
I was a meteor burnin up
I'll be the one
love's a thought that turns you both to dust
swirls you round impossible futures
many a waltz spun awkwardly out of the rain
she was an anxious refrain
taking your time with the imperceptible
beautiful myths of becoming animals
to regress is to move towards lesser difference
so tell me that this love is all we are
this simple story, this carousel we're on
a little magic, a different kind of spark
our glassy essence, just floating in the dark
it's how you taught us to conjure up
a little kindness to take inside our hearts
our will to power, together not apart
chasing the other, a truly modern art
all that you are and all that you'll be is harmony
darlin' walk with me
life and death and love and birth and peace and war on the planet earth
is there anything that's worth more than peace and love on the planet earth
the best of me is yet here to behold
I sit before these mighty skies
I know not what it means when i look into your eyes, but it's there
even the universe loses its way sometimes
I went out catching fireflies, for the stars are more elusive, and they burn holes in my pockets don't you know
the swirl of our eternity has secrets for me, and you, as well, to learn its majesty
I'm tired, too, to lift all the light you see, but it's warm in its comfort, and it's brighter in its mystery
sweet dreams
love what you'll never see twice
become the thing your dreaming mind reminds you daily
she is composed of lines: tropics and meridians
at the party, never fitting in
so much love you are
can you see your likeness around you?
can you feel a lightness surround you?
can it be so easy to drown you?
can it be that maybe they found you?
though she'll never get to dream, who needs all that forgetting
closing upon our mutual love is harmony
building a symptom won't cure you, only facing what keeps you hiding
i've always depended on the kindness of strangers
there's a tapestry of stars
look how thankless they are
these eyes, these eyes
so heavy heavy heavy
make time, make time
I'm ready ready ready
hey, maybe I like you
wake up, get up, get out there
if you hold on, life won't change
my dear, why are we if not to live extraordinary?
You used to tell me not to dream away
go chase the safety, not the rush
You say this future is a world away
I think you worry way too much
no fear no more
in a good way I see us now
what time allows to think
deserts spilled out before my words
never heard by you
and if you figure it out, you let me know
you found me here inside a dream
walk through the fire straight to me
access from my heart to your heart
here we are in the future, and it's bright
wrap me in your shawl
wrap me twice since we are small
losing a world is easy
if you never stopped looking up
you’d never see the bed of stars beneath me
I want to tell you
I want to tell you why
I want to show you
how I let it die
after all and after all we have to
after all and after all we've been through
you like looking at stars, don't you
some of those stars have been burnt out for a long, long time
there's too much I want to say, so
do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
I'm on your side for the rest of your life
you'll never be alone, don't you worry, my child
and now there's an empty room you outgrew
but I'm here for you
but sincerely
can't you feel what I'm feeling
what do we wander from and only notice it now?
so be here with me
and I watched the water unfold
it's a feeling I want you to know
'cause I'm not the same as I was
as I shoulder the weight of the world
and then somebody somewhere finds
the warmth of summer in the songs you write
maybe it's a gift that I couldn't recognize
trying to feel alive
a conversation held, like a string quartet
singing in harmony, when we first met
glaciers of ideas, importing
to my friends then exporting
the past does not define you
you define it so
ink the chapter in your name
upheld by the page before
but it's okay
we're on our way
on the road to life again
a great adventure's
just beyond the place
where everything is new
good grief it's good to be alive
and I'm smiling wide
you're nearly there
keep going
keep going
keep going
keep going
it will all be okay in the end
how many hours, minutes, seconds, rotations of the earth has it been
we're all just wires
we're all just blood running through veins
a conversation held, like a string quartet
singing in harmony, when we first met
get your money up
ideas shared commonly
it's like a reflex
to recall these regrets
despite all the context
have you seen all the signs?
you know pouring over tea leaves
won’t wash the writing off the wall
