Therapy

Blanked summer again
Slept through all the mornings with a ghost in my head
We make each other feel horrible
Thought I erased it
But it seems to keep conjuring
Self medicating with a bottle and I bottle it
So I woke up again
With a blistering pain in my head
And my therapist said he doesn't think it's a problem
It's self medication and he's got a couple things to help
He sent literature for me to read and then help myself
Thought I erased it but it seems to keep conjuring
Self medication with a bottle and I bottle it
Over and over
I'm over it
Over and over
I'm over it

Dinosaur

Don't hide away
These walls are cages, you'll see someday
Please be patient with me
I'm not OK in the bed we made
And the weight is starting to take shape
The weight, the weight
is starting to be more than I can take
Where's the bright side now?
Your apartment floor is stacked with art
but the walls are decked in holes
And there's so much more that needs repair
but it's an inside job...
And I hope it's starting to take form
And I know it's starting to weigh in
like a dinosaur
Where's the bright side now?

Astroautomata

Wait outside my head, I'll be there tonight
I try to stay present but the astronaut seems to be taking flight
Wait outside my head, I'll be whoever you like
I'll drink my way through the ocean down and out into the other side
And we'll float on... I don't know where we'll go
I spent my life trying to hold on by turning cheeks and letting go
And it's way over. Wait over.
Wait outside my head, I'll see you in the sky
I'll spread my wings just like you said
And baby, I'll learn to fly

Wolf
04:03
|

|
Salted sea, I swallowed it down
Endlessly, I swallowed it down to drown the wolf out
Violently, it's crashing around in gestural ways
Inside of me now, to drown the wolf out
Hear her sing, Hear her howl
Hear her weep, "Let me out"
Salted sea , I swallowed it down
Plundering , I strangled the sound
To drown the wolf out
Silently assaulted and bound
Tied to stakes inside of me now
To drown the wolf out
Hear her sing, Hear her howl
Hear her scream, "Let me out!"
Take me, I am ready
Hang me out to dry
Silently, I swallowed it down
Violently, I swallowed it down
To drown the wolf out

Scry

Clear out all the haze / Demons on the horizon
Charge away...
Breathe out on the flames / Read the story rising
Draw the Shapes...

Lion

Dear Lion,
Let me calm your roar
Lay with me
I'll hold you against this cage we're inside
Don't fear, Lion
Let me take your paws
With their blood covered paws
And dip them in pastel skies
I am the running river that you drink
I am the starry blanket under which you sleep
I am the antelope except I'm not running
Dear, I have tried to make my heart
A meadow just for yours
But your footsteps are so violent
I hear you like gunshots in the night
When you're so sure that you're right
But when you're wrong, you're silent
I am the Water balance to your Fire
I am the queen in front of whom you strut your pride
I am the antelope except I never hide
All the flowers grow around a landmine
All the flowers grow around you
All of them explode around a landmine
All of them are choked out by you

Shapes of Water

I take your words and hear them;
Bright Water... bring us back to Life.
I drink the Son, I drink the sky.
Water, bring us back to life.
Xæ val; bel Ehwaᛇ .... Lead us.
Heyy, [my Light] don't hide away.

Skin
05:19
|

I've got a heart that cost a lot to follow
and you've got a way of taking up all of it's space
I've dug a hole, made a bed down in your shadow
and you stood in the sunlight, "saving my fair, pale face"
but I wanna wear my skin like I did before I became a stranger in it
I've got a bad pattern, I know that you know it
and you've had a way of stitching me up at the seams
I've got a bitter taste from you holding the needle
but what would you do if I didn't fall apart so easily?
I wanna wear my skin like I did before I became a stranger in it
So long, goodbye, I'm severing words ands ties
"oh no- but I loved you so" - well you told someone else the exact same thing, and so no, no, gotta go- I don't need your words or sympathy
I'm gonna wear my skin like I did before I became a stranger in it

PTSD
04:34
|
|||
|
All out, it's my safekeeping
A fortress of iron and shielding
I know it's not the answer
You know that we can't survive here
But don't you wait it out
Not on my watch now
Hey, I'm tired of this way
I've got No One to blame
No One taught me about PTSD
No One talked about anything
I know you don't see me bleeding
'Cause I'm a really great actress with an audience of only me
Calm down, "Everything's just fine"
And I say it every day, so it must not be a lie....

Tongues
04:13
|
|||
|
Fear the water
A salted lung
Hear the call from wading long
Write the spell down on your tongue
Wield the gold out of the graveyard
Bring the rain down through your skin
Weigh the flames out
Name the wind
Bind the sun sounds with your heart
Silver, sulfur, air, and a magic stone
Weighed apart and taken farther
Like a message in a bottle

Shapes of Sky
03:31
|
|||
|
Bleed out, winged friend
I'm listening always
Forming shapes of what this could be someday
High we'll shine
Breathe out, winged friend
And sip the air softly
Forging shapes of glistening, small seeds
High we'll shine
