Introduction
01:28
|
|||
Amidst this blowing solitude,
I've crossed so many bridges
To stroke the earth for the marital rights
To be one with it's hot visage.
I caught the shadow of the seagull fly
The kind of Day that shows you the Moon
And if I could melt into this sand,
Understand, not a moment too soon
So why do I return to this place?
Again and again and again!
To touch it, to smell it, to hear the taste
Of the elements from which I began
But to others I say it loud and clear
It is not peace that I find in return
But rather, the concept gestation
Of a festering seed that yearns

Eu Sinto
03:08
|
|||
My heart is aching as I try to survive
On the bare necessities that keep myself alive
While in tandem your love tells me, I must decide
If I live on your 'island' to be a loving wife
It's hard to know the right way to go when in love
It's hard to say the right go to way when in love
I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to lose you
I don't want to feel you, thinking of me sad, no
Eu sinto sua falta saudade de voce
Eu sinto sua falta saudade te amo
Love spectacular!
Love is divine!
Love is so transient in our time, in our time

Transient Love
04:07
|
|||
Oh, that transient love-
Trans-continental has left me in a State.
Open the floodgates to my nurturing side.
Hear the whimper of maternal cries? "AY!"
I wanted to want your life
I wanted to be who you wanted me to be
You wanted me to want what you wanted
I wanted to want what you wanted me to want
Transient love, oh stay abreast
How could I fall asleep on your chest?
In between sheets is the whole world
Isolation is understood
So take a deep breath, don't waste your time
You've got so much to give, and you better treat it right
Your heart is beating, vitals signs fine
Release those thoughts of deprecation and let out what's inside
So break it down, release the doubt, make your good sounds...
|

So come on tell me I'm not the only one
Who still feels cold under this hot Sun
Am I the only dying girl in New York?
Whose had the veil lifted from our world
And when the Sun is hidden
And I can't see reason
And when the wind is pushing
More than I can take
I think of all the teachers
And of all the knowledge
I can count to seven long enough to raise my light
Don't tell me it's a solitary tune
To feel that silver love of the moon
Aren't we all under the same sky?
Always looking us in the eye

If Love Is All We Need
02:26
|
|||
I found paradise inside your arms
You're my true vice deflecting harm
I grow weak and lose my will
To see we're not the center of the world
Enveloped in warmth, I do not feel the outside world
You're a shield wielding me impaired
So it is said that love will transform
Unite wisdom with compassion
If love, love, love is all we need
Are we standing on our feet?
I won't lose sight of all the pain
That gets me here to this place of understanding

Desire, Denial
03:34
|

Desire, Denial
He's distant, she's fragile
Bar closing, imposing
Decision, go with him?
Drink one more, for rapport
He's headed for the door
She wants him, to want her
That's not what, he's there for
The sidewalk, he's smoking
He's waiting, she's thinking
He's leaving, she follows
They talk but, it's hollow
His bedroom, they are one
subconscious devotion
But neither will trust it
Beyond this, intimate
And he says,
"No one will understand the depth of my cold heart, no!
All the things spinning in my head are so fucked up."
And she says,
"No one would appreciate the love that I could give.
La la la la la la ah-lah"
The morning, the daylight
Wash away their hot night
To erase affection,
Cut off that connection
She sighs and finds her clothes
Quietly she tiptoes
He opens his eyes to
Solitude he's used to
And he says,
"No one will understand the depth of my cold heart, no!
All the things spinning in my head are so fucked up."
And she says,
"No one would appreciate the love that I could give.
La la la la la la ah-lah"

Morning Light
02:09
|
|||
The light that shines across your eyes
Through morning dew and morning light
The world is big my humble pie
Don't disregard your will to fly
For I would greet you anywhere,
It's such a gift to have you there
But my world feels so small
Oh I can't break these walls
My world feels so small,
No I can't move at all
In between the undertow
And riptide that flipped me over
I reached an arm for certainty
That promptly slammed a wave on me
It takes so many times to know
There is no solid way to go
But my world feels so small
Oh I can't break these walls
My world feels so small,
No I can't move at all

Ocean Blue Interlude
01:14
|
|||
Oh, to wade in Ocean Blue with you
Is there anything more inviting?
Yet at times more terrifying
As Ocean Blue
The widest flat horizon one could ever rest their gaze
Sends calm to the mind and a heart of romance set ablaze
|

The Seagull Song
01:39
|
|||
The seagulls flying past
And I'm having such a blast
But where can I make my art?
And I see where Lisa lives
And I'm hoping she still is
Diggin' the seaside life
And I like to start things off with a little sense of humor
To get me where I gotta go
Well I like to start things off with a little sense of humor
To get me where I gotta go
Well I see the surfer scene
And they're looking so serine
But where did they park their cars?
And I'm driving all around
Till I hear a good sound
Gotta find a different access
Well I see they are all full-so
I'll sing another tune
And find a different access
Ah access me
Access my body
Access me, oh yeah
Access me
Access my body
Access me, oh yeah
Cause I like to start things off with a little sense of humor
To get me where I gotta go
Yes, I like to start things off with a little sense of humor
To get me where I gotta go
Well I'm pushing on through it and seeing an improvement
But lord, I can get so low
So I like to start things off with a little sense of humor
To get me where I gotta go
Ah access me
Access my body
Access me, oh yeah
Access me
Access my body
Access me, oh yeah

Circle Monologue
02:37
|
|||
Mourning the break up of ---------- took time
As with any deep separation
It doesn't disappear, it changes
And joins the drifting sands' rotations
Churning up a new set of dreams
Rushing water to fill the empty space
Sucking back into it's swell
Till unrecognizable left that place
Time will tell you of your waves
As measures of your ebb and flows
But your flares, your dips, your lashes and pangs
Won't let you see it so
Well I think it's ok to sink
To the bottom of your ocean floor
To scrape, and reach, and tug at a solid
Know what you're living down for
For when you look up
To that tiny light from the Sun
Observe the float to the sparkling surface
And feel how just letting go
Allows your body to find it's way
With an agile mind in tow
And that's when you ask yourself,
"Did I even want to know?"

Art Is The Fire
02:48
|
|||
Art is the fire running through all living things
It is the moment between two imposing
The climax of the work of thought and feeling
Oh, it sends your whole world flying
Without even trying
Thank you for being here with me in the deep
I'd love to leave you with something you could keep
I have no idea what that should be
Oh, it sends your whole world flying
Without even trying

The Grand Finale
09:56
|
|||
Isn't it a pity that not too many see
That we're all the same, so in you is me
Remember to be loving, remember to be kind
When the world is ending I will throw you a line
Everything that happens from a kiss to a growing tree
Is an act of unconditional love for all to see
How was I so blind to the sight of it all?
How did I not listen without hearing that call?
Naturally I face every obstacle head on
With the love that shows me what is real and clear, so
(stream of consciousness follows)
