It's There but It's Not Heavy 05:35
lyrics
ITS THERE BUT ITS NOT HEAVY How can you say it’s the only way When you know it don’t come from your heart? How can you live this way day by day When you know that you can’t play the part? But to those of you who’ve been there and the those of you who know in the shadows in the corner well I think it’s time we go Here we go again, but what do you defend? When you’re busy making sure you’re right How can you pretend that you’ll win in the end When you don’t know the cause for the fight To you and your omniscience knowing I’ll withstand the pain Giving time while I recover And then you stick in again Out of everything you’ve tried tell me what’s on your side to make you think you’ve got a pretty good deal You better watch your foolish pride you’re being taken for a ride and it’s all because you’re too afraid too feel I never said I was a prophet felling walls and burning masks I haven’t claimed to be a martyr clinging to his painful tasks Many farewells seems so fitting although this one’s out of place if nothing else I’ve got your name down and a picture of your face

When I Die 03:29
lyrics
WHEN I DIE When I Die What will unfold What will occur to everything I know? Into the mystery joy and celebration Into the mystery I go I will transform as energy vibration Energy continues to flow Am I ripe for this transition Am I Ready to let go When I Die Into the mystery I go

Brainstorm 05:27
lyrics
BRAINSTORM Where do we go? In our nightmares In our daydreams When our brain storms In the daytime Where do we go? Well let’s go there Let’s go there If we really want to find out then let’s go there Let’s go there Let’s go there Let’s go! A voice within the room Reflected in the night asks us who we are A mystical invite The Question is alive curious we find The Question is alive as we move through time Challenged by the Night The Moon and all the Stars The ocean and the waves the driftwood on the shore the wind dancing the trees the ocean is alive changing all the time We don’t dream we have nightmares We don’t think we get brainstorms We don’t know where we’re going at the journey’s end we’re back at home

Exploration of Time 06:55
lyrics
EXPLORATION OF TIME Time No memory of beginning Time No knowledge of the end Healer of all wounds History avoided by demagogues and fools Times change and we with time Time unbounded and endless Times change and we with time Time unbounded and endless Honest with myself In Time There is no self I am outside of time I am outside myself here Looking back in time The past is only memory the future’s in my mind can you hear frequencies vibrating The music plays in time can you hear envelopes decaying the song is words and rhymes Measured out and played in bars a signature of time everything is always vibrating vibrations fill my mind Time is a conclusion Time is running out Time causes confusion moving forward the time is now Sometimes I get lonely I get lost within my mind Sometimes when I’m thinking I get lonely from time to time Times change and we with time Feeling into what we felt here Times change and we with time Feeling into what we felt here

The Antidote 03:20
lyrics
THE ANTIDOTE I know a sad deal when I’ve got it I know how loneliness feels Inside feels kind of sticky It puts me back on my heels The signs are so familiar Too inviting somehow Sad trouble will follow I got to reach out now I need the antidote for the poison of loneliness When I feel like retreating When I’m feeling alone My mind turns against me There’s one thing that I know

Street Of Mystery 05:48
lyrics
Street Of Mystery I walk through neighborhoods and city blocks I fill my head with such heavy thoughts And yet I keep moving on down the street I do my best to pick it up I do my best to not give up I walk this world in mystery my thoughts are like roller coaster rides I hold on tight while I grip the sides Spell bound by this mystery I spend my time I fill it up I waste my time to mix it up Distract my mind from what I need i have walked through pain and fire I have walked through disbelief I have watched myself walking I am walking through the world down this street of mystery Seems like no one ever was here before Like no one before us ever lived Seems like no one ever walked down this street Let’s do our best to live it up Let’s do our best to live as love We walk this world in mystery have walked through pain and fire I have walked through memories I have watched myself walking I am walking through the world down this street of mystery have walked through pain and fire I have walked through joy and misery I have watched myself walking I am walking through the world down this street of mystery

Deconstructing Sunday 04:17

DECONSTRUCTING SUNDAY Sunday night arrives I find myself at home I was hanging on to the weekend It didn’t last very long I was hanging on to the weekend I felt so all alone one more day just fades away with all my demons on display one more day just fades away how can I avoid the fray Sunday Deconstructing Sunday why do I divide my time in days and weeks? Does it ease my mind? Named for planets, Named for gods Passed on down since Babylon Patterns in the moon and stars Patterns Teach us who we are Sunday Deconstructing Sunday

Danny's Song 02:55
lyrics
DANNY'S SONG Here he is again singing songs to me Won’t he ever learn I haven’t got the key I cannot set him free Though he may look to me for answers Who am I I just don’t know Is this another controversial song where he tells me what is right and what is wrong He does not understand It’s not a matter of picking and choosing when we’re talking about love I do not mean to hurt though he may wonder if I love him who am I? I just don’t know He is not independent and I cannot lend my shoulder maybe he’ll understand when he get’s a little older But tell me what is love and is it really worth the trouble Who am I? I just don’t know Where here he is again Singing songs to me Won’t he ever learn I haven’t got the key

Love Song 03:48
lyrics
LOVE SONG Love is like the songs It’s just what they portrayed Love is like a game depends on how its played Love is like a symphony when that is all you hear Love is like a painful lie whispered in your ear Living Life as Love We try and cry and die inside Living Life as Love How is Love living through you? Love is like a currency physical and felt Love’s a form of energy exchanged and changed and held Living Life as Love We sigh and fly and fight inside Living Life as Love What is Love saying? What are you learning? How is Love living through you?

Psalm 04:41
lyrics
PSALM There is a sound starts in your feet Vibrating in your body Up through your legs you feel the heat You feel it in your own way Relax your mind let it unwind And you become a channel You make a shape your mouth agape And you begin to howl Pull Back the Curtain Let the light in Open up and Sing Let it flow to soothe your soul There’s something worth revealing Let it out whisper or shout Begin receiving healing Make a sound my friend Listen to the wind We can begin again You want to let the light in you were born Into this life, this mystery emerging a great adventure being voiced These voices are encouraging In what we see, and what we hear Life is a great adventure It may not last It may go fast Wake up and Pay attention you were born Into this life, this mystery emerging a great adventure being voiced These voices are encouraging

Takes Forever 05:26
lyrics
Takes Forever It Takes forever To Remember and of course I will forget I’ll forget how to bring these feelings home I’ll forget connection is the antidote I’ll forget Loneliness vs. Being Alone I forget myself And fade away It Takes forever To Remember and of course I will forget It Takes forever To Remember and of course I will forget It Takes forever To Remember there is no danger yet It Takes forever To Remember it takes forever to regret Remember that I’m out of Danger Forget that I am not myself Remember that Life is Stranger Than anything I could make up by myself Remember that I’m out of Danger Forget that I am not myself Remember that Life is Stranger Than anything I could make up by myself Holding on to feelings here inside Holding on identified as mine Holding on To the past to self to time I forget myself And fade away It Takes forever To Surrender And I’m learning to accept It Takes forever To Surrender And I’m learning to accept It Takes forever To Surrender To let Go of myself My ego my pretender It Takes forever To Surrender Remember that I am forgetful I haven’t thought of that for years Remember Life is Regretful only when I haven’t faced my fears Remember that there is no danger Remember there is no safer bet Remember Life is Stranger than anything I could make up myself

Eclipse 05:38
lyrics

Eclipse There is an eclipse between what I think and how I feel it’s hard to understand what the voice inside will say why emotions carry me away to know who I am There is an eclipse Between the chaos and the order Inherent in my life the things I can’t control allowing life to flow resisting as I go There is an eclipse between creating and releasing Observing in the flow I create a place to go And then create the road on the Journey as I go There is an eclipse between perception and sensation my mind stands in between I perceive what I create I’m amazed to feel this way I practice letting go My life is an eclipse between my spirit and my flesh somewhere in between I’m finding myself Our lives feel so profound until time knocks them down watch them tumble down and fall My life is an eclipse between my spirit and my flesh somewhere in between I’m finding myself
