Home Surrounded Home Surrounded By bodies of water Bodies of Bodies of water Bodies of Rolling in Rolling in Rolling out Not too desolate Not too congested One foot on the ground Rest of me dancing This is where I want to be This is where I want to stay What do you say? Hey! This is where I want to be This is where I want to stay What do you say? Hey! You're the foreign body now Don't retreat into yourself Be the open channel now Home Surrounded Home Surrounded By bodies of water Bodies of Bodies of water Bodies of Rolling in Rolling in Rolling out This is where I want to be This is where I want to stay What do you say? Hey! This is where I want to be This is where I want to stay What do you say? Hey! You're the foreign body now Don't retreat into yourself Be the open channel now Home Surrounded Home Surrounded Not too desperate Not too complicated One foot on the ground Rest of me dancing This is where I want to be This is where I want to stay What do you say? Hey! This is where I want to be This is where I want to stay What do you say? Hey!

Sidewalk 06:30

Endless waves roll through my mind Fueling me with pleasure I press my chest until I feel Your arms await this body of steel You are my welder Take these scraps And build something real Build something real Build something real If the night should find you awake and alone I will meet you on the sidewalk Away from my home (away away away away away away away away) Cause I'm more at home with you on the street Than in my bed under my own sheets Lay me down Lay me down Lay me down I will lay you down Lay you down Lay you down On the cement On a ship Vertical Spherical There is nothing but this Nothing but this Nothing but this Nothing but this If the night should find you awake and alone I will meet you on the sidewalk Away from my home (away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away)

Long Legs 04:23

Ha ha ha Your long legs slither Underneath the sheets Entwine me in the safety Of your devoted essence There's no hiding here Ha! There's no hiding here There's no hiding here Choppy with your constant leaving Overstimulated by our Over-committed lives We find intervals Of perfection In the most imperfect ways I find release through this swell I find release through this swell I find release through the swell Of our ragged time together You caress the tender places That contain my grief You let the darkness shine You let the darkness shine You let the Darkness shine No No mascara To bring my eyes to life Just our beating hearts And slick bodies bodies bodies Charged with the pulse of your departure There's no hiding here Ha! There's no hiding here There's no hiding here Not feeling my best I reach out delicately Your soft strong skin Responds caterpillar like Caterpillar like I see your cells waking To the whisper Radiance pours forth Rattle of-thoughts Try to close the door I find release through this swell I find release through this swell I find release through the swell Of our ragged time together You let the darkness shine You let the darkness shine You let the darkness shine You let the darkness shine You let the darkness shine You let the darkness darkness darkness

Emanating Waiting to feel you I send you waves of this desire Do you feel me Can you catch my fire waiting waiting waiting waiting how much stronger must i maintain how much longer must i behave I push through the undercurrent Hoping you will ride the tide home to me home to me home to me (help me, I'm drowning, help me I'm drowning. my body struggles. under your waves, my fingers slip though the sand. the plants in the sea break too easily. help me, I'm drowning, help me I'm drowning...) Emanating Waiting to feel you I send you waves of this desire Do you feel me Can you catch my fire waiting waiting waiting waiting

No one looked I walked by Just an invitation would have been just fine I said no, no to him again and again First he took my heart then he ran No one knows how I feel What I say unless you read between my lines One man walked away from me First he took my hand Take me home Stand back, stand back In the middle of my room I did not hear from you It's alright, it's alright To be standing in a line I would cry La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la La, laaaa La, la, laaaaa Do not turn away my friend Like a willow I can bend No no no no no man calls my name No no no no man came So I walked on down away from you Maybe your attention was more Than you could do But one man did not call He asked me for my love And that was all Stand back, stand back In the middle of my room I did not hear from you It's alright, it's alright To be standing in a line I would cry La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la La, laaaa La, la, la-la, la, la, laaaaa Do do La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la Laaaaa I could cry I need a little sympathy (take me home) (stand back, stand back) Well, I need a little sympathy (take me home) (stand back, stand back) Well, I need to be standing in (Stand back) Well, I need a little sympathy (take me home) (Stand back, stand back) Take me home Well, I need a little sympathy

Suspended 04:10

Leaf falling to the ground Suspended in silence You wait for the sound Head full of possibility The chatter releases Leaving an opening A remote musing of laughter Rouses your senses What is it you're after Suspend Let the current hold you Light as can be You're full of beauty Shake off the weight that you carry Unearth the demons you've buried Let them rise And dissipate Fragile and raw You anticipate No need to be held Yield to this place Gravity will wait So much to do No where to go Too much to compose Unlace the ego Humility Fading into feathers of Fragility Shake off the weight that you carry Unearth the demons you've buried Let them rise And dissipate Fragile and raw You anticipate Gravity will wait Gravity gravity Gravity will wait Gravity gravity Gravity will wait Gravity gravity Gravity will wait Gravity gravity Gravity will wait Gravity gravity Gravity will wait

Why Why do you change the lock To your heart Why do you shut the door To your mind So many times a day Why Why Do you change the lock Why Do you shut the door So many goddamn times every day I Need to find my own Locksmith So I Can let myself in I want to let myself in I want to let myself in To you Oh I Try so fuckin hard to please All the time But you're still damn hungry You're still damn grumpy I feed you cupcakes No matter the taste No food will open up that door No key will turn that lock Once you've changed So I wither away I make myself small I try to fit into it all And you have no clue You have no idea Why Why do you change the lock To your heart Why do you shut the door To your mind So many times a day Why Why Do you change the lock Why Do you shut the door So many goddamn times every day I Need to find my own Locksmith So I Can let myself in I want to let myself in I want to let myself in To you Oh I Try so fuckin hard to please All the time But you're still damn hungry You're still damn grumpy I feed you cupcakes No matter the taste No food will open up that door No key will turn that lock Once you've changed So I wither away I make myself small I try to fit into it all I try to fit into it all I try to fit into it all Why (I try to fit into it all) Why (I try to fit into it all) Why

Building building building in my seat Building building building in my seat Eyes closed I embrace the heat Radiating from forgotten core Feelings rise and over-pour Molten beauty melts down my spine Cells awaken with eyes divine I turn on uh It doesn't stop ah I turn on uh It doesn't stop ah ah ah ah ah Passion permeates me Bottom to top Bottom to top Bottom to top top top top Each step hovers between heaven and birth Like a star hooked on gravity pulled towards the earth Sinking and rising Falling into the night I see the sun coming up Lifting me up to the light Ruby red embers grace the path before me I step silently tiptoe carefully (tiptoe, tiptoe) I invoke the spaces in between and love in crevices unseen The world awaits my quiet truth I float through ether Soul aloof Fear of my deep senses caught up in cyclical defenses Moist thoughts Fertile soil Ready to erupt yet caught fully coiled I shed layer upon layer Stop eating my own tail Stop eating my own tail Exposed and ragged My truth is unveiled my truth is unveiled My palms burn with the passion to feel My feet yearn to explore and heal The petals of my heart heart heart burst into fruit I wade through this tide and circle round you and circle round you and circle round you (and circle and circle and circle round you and circle and circle and circle round you and circle and circle and circle round you) Each step hovers between heaven and birth Like a star hooked on gravity pulled towards the earth Sinking and rising falling into the night I see the sun coming up lifting me up to the light lifting me up to the light lifting me up to the light light light light light
