Two Birds 03:31
Most of the time I am free-falling through the air Back of my mind something lingers and flourishes Two birds into the trees Wailing out, so sweet Strong words that I might need to hear One of the ways I spin and stretch the space and time Is to become the outside inside my own being Two birds into the trees Wailing out, so sweet Strong words that I might need to hear Two birds into the trees Two birds you and me Two birds into the trees Wailing out, so sweet Strong words that we all need to hear Two birds into the trees, wailing Two birds you and me

There's a little bit of rain today, there's a little bit of rain today When I look up high I see that its coming down I wanna get washed this way So fresh and sweet for me It seems that it drops from the clouds that shuck the sky They shuck the sky like harvest time

Got a ticket for a memory train An in and out ride that circles the brain A good number of codes aboard Snakes, summer, sand at the core One and the same A light that never fades One of every poison Come on! Stop speaking tone deaf words Keep on kissing the sun little bird Pass off the rhythm and bleed for me Bleach, berries, hard candy One and the same A different game to play One of every poison Come on! Sun... One and the same A light that never fades One of every poison Come on!!!

On Holidays 02:54
I'm on a holiday today Finding fun and games to play So much to do in these shoes Which path will I choose If you wanted to come too That's cool You've got a face That illuminates In the summer sunset yeah In the summer sunset yeah On this holiday today We can fly in a plane Take a stroll down a lane Anything Anyplace we go Now you know I don't care Cause in your eyes There's rose-colored sky and the summer air I'm on a holiday today I'm on holidays You've got a face That illuminates And radiates Like a summer sunset yeah Like a summer sunset yeah A summer sunset yeah

I know a thousand little things you love to say That give me such a feeling And all the ways you keep me up throughout the day Its all part of my healing I let you down, got what I deserve Better than you say I know its hard, I know your hurt Better than you say I stuck around, I kept my word Better than you say I'm falling hard, real hard I wake up underneath the same set of stars You left without a reason Left to wonder what in this life's truly ours The shifting of the seasons Chorus Turn away

When the chill from above Disappears in the air I'll listen for the sound of spring time to hit me square Right between my eyes Overflowing emotions I'm singing with the birds, springtime hit me square Chorus: Alive! So alive! I kick and scream at the top of my soul Seasons change, one through four Looking for a line To lead to this transition When the rainbow above Disappears in the air I'll listen for the sound of springtime to hit me square As animals awake From so many days Somehow I feel the same when springtime hits me square Alive! So alive! I kick and scream at the top of my soul Seasons change, one through four Looking for a line Feeling so alive Right between the eyes So when the chill from above Disappears in the air I'll listen for the sound of springtime to hit me square

Real Energy 01:54
If you're here Be near Right behind the walls my dear If you're free Just be Big wheels into the morning Big gold stars in my darlings eyes Big wheels into the sunset Inside is the real energy If you're gone Don't be long Right behind the walls of the sun If you're mine Lets shine
