Light Beam
02:28
|
|||
This time last year our front door
belonged to 116 Baltimore
Guest book full of thank you’s and love
and “I’ll be back soon so don’t grow up!”
Never met someone so much like me
yes it’s true Sarah you’re a light beam
in the photo that Jonah sent
when we were spiders building our webs
Things will always change I know
Scattered in Peru and France and Redondo
We get ice cream when we’re sad
get passive when we’re mad
but at the end of the day
we hold our hands and know it’s gonna be okay
Things will always change I know
Scattered in Peru and France and Redondo
but we’ve got Castro of the heart and Mission of the mind
and whatever we miss there will always be a next time

Let's Talk
02:18
|
|||
No time for small talk
Let’s walk, let’s walk, let’s walk
Let’s talk beyond scale beyond fe or male
Let’s talk beyond space beyond time
Let’s talk in a rhyme
Words between me and you
There’s nothing I’d rather do
than talk to you
No time for small talk
Let’s walk, let’s walk, let’s walk
Let’s talk about magic and a dream that’s tragic
Let’s talk about fairies and when things get scary
Let’s talk about snacks and stoned hunger attacks
Let’s talk about love, about sex, and what we wanna do next
Words between me and you
There’s nothing I’d rather do
than talk to you
No time for small talk
Let’s walk, let’s walk, let’s walk
and really really just fuckin’ talk

Rainbow Sweater
02:40
|
|||
I had a dream that we were all together
in the tall grass wearing rainbow sweaters
The sun was high and we were too
and someone asked, “what can we do?”
So I took your hand and I kissed your palm and said
“Don’t worry baby, don’t get stuck in your head
just Be Here Now it’s all you can do
the past no longer serves you”
If I run out of my house
at 3 am with no socks on
would you chase after me
or be afraid that I am too far gone?
If I’m stuck inside my brain
will you be there to tell me it’s okay?
If these feelings never end
will you be there as a lover, as a lover and a friend?
Because I know
the only way the flowers grow
is if you tend to them
and I wanna water you

Weird Dreams
02:59
|
|||
Woke up from a fever dream
Don’t remember what it means
but you were there and I woke up crying
Feeling alone
Can we stop talking about our bodies?
I mean i know we fit so well together
but I’d rather be a speckled feather
drifting forever
How can I stop thinking of them when I think of you?
How come when i walk down ocean all of the lights are blue
and I am too?
On a plane from New York City
The plane crashes four or five or six times
The pilot says it ‘cus a stoner got a hold of the controller
Then I’m smoking weed in bed with THEESatisfaction
and I got three snakes tattooed on the back of my neck
When I wake up I try to figure out what these snakes mean
Why are there two sides to everything
but no one’s in the middle?
Why am I stuck between overbearing
And way, way, way, way, way too subtle?
It’s cuz I’ve been dreaming
Yeah I’ve been dreaming
It’s cuz I’ve been dreaming way too much these days

Magick Love
03:38
|
|||
Can’t explain it though I know we’ve tried
Too ethereal to materialize
But I know, I know where it lies
Somewhere in between your eyes and my eyes
Magick love (x4)
The setting sun reminds me of you
Blue and pink and orange-yellow hues
When I say, I say that I love you
it’s really just the universe
pouring love back into itself
Magick love (x4)

We Are the Ones
03:25
|
|||
We got our car towed away and Tubbs came along for the ride
The rainbow child in the passenger side
Zoom in zoom out everywhere is the same
but this place is looking extra beautiful today
I wonder how things might change, oh how they change
Broken down on the side of the 1
I recognize my privilege in this situation
Drinking a beer while we wait with no fear
Don’t you think it’s fucked I can feel safe in my car
While people are arrested for the colors that they are?
Don’t you think it’s fucked, don’t you think that it’s bizarre?
I can smoke weed wherever I go
but there are people I know, too many people, I know
who are locked up forever for having an ounce once
No one should be in prison for weed- scratch that
no one should be in prison at all
People over profit, people over all
Don’t you think it’s fucked, don’t you think that it’s bizarre
we’ve normalized oppression of people for being who they are?
Don’t you think it’s fucked, don’t you think that it’s bizarre?
We are the ones who’ll take care of us, we are the ones (x3)
We are the ones

Soon
01:35
|
|||
Soon soon soon soon soon
we will be in the same room
under the same moon
making each other swoon swoon swoon
Make your flowers bloom and make love
until we are in the tomb tomb tomb
Soon, sooooon
My mind dreams of you
my body aches for you
and my soul, my soul is with you you you you
Soon, sooooon

Scratch n Sniff
02:42
|
|||
What's the difference between over here and over there
when I can see you on my screen?
I guess it would be nice, it would be really really nice
if I could feed you a tangerine
Scratch n sniff, scratch n sniff, scratch n sniff, scratch n sniff
All of the letters you sent to me
Your hands were on this little piece of paper
and now the paper’s touching me
Like being together
in a dream
Like being together
in a dream
Except in this one you can come home to me
Picking you a bouquet of flowers
but I know they’re gonna die
within a couple of hours
because I’m holding them too tight
Clinging to the thought of unattachment cuz I know everything will change
but clinging to the thought is still clinging to something
the way that works is strange
Tonight we’re together
in my dreams
Tonight we’re together
in my dreams
And when I wake up
you’re lying next to me
And when I wake up
you’re lying next to me

Yellow Flower
03:24
|
|||
I think of you as, you as
a yellow flower, flower
You know I like to be alone
but when I’m not alone
I like to be with you
It’s hard being so far away
from Twin Peaks’ foggy grey
all the way from Waterloo Bay
So I’ll dream about your bed
and reading poems about thoughts spilling from our heads
feelings and pomegranates
I think of you as, you as
a yellow flower, flower (x2)
So let’s get coffee and a newspaper
read the comics section first
and the rest from best to worst
Cuz even though our country’s fucked
and everything that’s published sucks
we’re looking to change that with love
Yeah, we’re gonna change that with love
I think of you as, you as
a yellow flower, flower
a yellow flower

Fuck I.C.E.
02:32
|
|||
I am angry today at red, white, and blue
I am angry at the things that you do
You like to see us cry
Claim freedom then put us down so you can thrive
Oh no, we can’t fight hate with hate
It’ll only make it grow
But when it feels so impossible
what can we do?
Call your representatives
Call your best friends
Call your racist grandma and say, “I love you but
something has gotta change
no, these things can’t stay the same
no, something has gotta change”
This stormy weather’s been happening forever
Fuck borders and fuck I.C.E.
keep families together
So many suffering with so much to say
We’ve gotta raise their voice it’s the only way
Oh no, we can’t fight hate with hate
It’ll only make it grow
But when it feels so impossible
what can we do?
Call your representatives
Call your best friends
Call your racist grandma and say, “I love you but
something has gotta change
no, these things can’t stay the same
no, something has gotta change”
No one is free until we’re all free (x4)

Let the Flowers Die
01:40
|
|||
Take a deep breath for me
I never really appreciated my lungs
‘til the fire came
Up in smoke
How can the pomegranates grow
when they’re choking on the remnants of the things
that were left behind?
It’s such a strange time, a strange time to be alive
But that’s just it
I am still alive
I don’t wanna let the flowers die (x3)

Catalyst
02:21
|
|||
You are the catalyst to all my wet dreams
and what we give might be more than we receive
You told me that if I don't feel it, it might not be real
I owe a lot to you, you always come through
When the episode of Black Mirror fucks with me a little too heavy
and I need to hold your hand ‘til it’s sweaty
you’re right there right there, you’re right there
Dodging a mental fight there
My anxiety comes out only when I’m trying
to be the only one sipping on some wine and
when I push you away you pull me in
I remember what I’m here for again
You’re on my side, on my side, on my side
I remember that it’s gonna be alright
Remember that it’s just me and you at the end of the night
And how come it’s so much easier to say sorry to a stranger on the bus
Than it is to say sorry when I’m irrationally mad at you
Always picking fights with you
And how come the fire that burns brightest
is the one that ignites when my past lives come and bite me on my cheek
Every week we’re getting better
And how come it’s so much easier to say sorry to a stranger on the bus
Than it is to say sorry when I’m irrationally mad at you
Always picking fights with you
And how come the fire that burns brightest
is the one that ignites when my past lives come and bite me on my cheek
Every week we’re getting better

I feel the pressure coming down on me
to be who I told you I could be
Looking towards my bedsheets
Looking for answers in my dreams
Unsure if I can do all the things
that I wanna do
before the day is new
Wondering why I do this to myself
I put my life up on the shelf
just so I can sit here and rest my bones
I just wanna be alone, just wanna stay at home
How I long to be free
Oh, I know we do it to ourselves
How I long to be free
