Trees, oh trees Do you remember me? Trees, oh trees Do you remember me? From before From before From before From before And birds, oh birds Can you recall my songs?

Before and Again 02:34
lyrics
buy track
I have to say something if I want to sing But it's not about the words It's my voice writhing To a place far from me That my fingers can't reach And my legs are so tired from all this standing still Standing still All of my dreams are memories That I can't place to a time or a face But my body knows Of the ribbons and bows That I once was tied in In my mother's skin Before and again Before and again Before and again

Day is Done 02:09
lyrics
buy track
When the day is done Down to Earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done When the day is done Hope so much your race will be all run Then you find that you jumped the gun You have to go back where you began When the day is done When the night is cold Some get by and some get old Just to show, life's not made of gold When the night is cold When the bird has flown You got no one to call your own You got no place to call your home When the bird has flown When the game's been fought You sped the ball across the court Lost much sooner than you would have thought Now the game's been fought When the party's through Seems so very sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through When the day is done Down to Earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done

Riders on the Storm 03:16
lyrics

Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Into this house, we're born Into this world, we're thrown Like a dog without a bone An actor out on loan Riders on the storm There's a killer on the road His brain is squirmin' like a toad Take a long holiday Let your children play If you give this man a ride Sweet family will die Killer on the road, yeah Girl, you gotta love your man Girl, you gotta love your man Take him by the hand Make him understand The world on you depends Our life will never end Gotta love your man, yeah Riders on the storm Riders on the storm Into this house, we're born Into this world, we're thrown Like a dog without a bone An actor out on loan Riders on the storm

We're Gonna be Friends 02:06
lyrics
buy track
Fall is here, hear the yell Back to school, ring the bell Brand new shoes, walking blues Climb the fence, books and pens I can tell that we are gonna be friends I can tell that we are gonna be friends Walk with me, Suzy Lee Through the park and by the tree We will rest upon the ground And look at all the bugs we found Safely walk to school without a sound Safely walk to school without a sound Here we are, no one else We walk to school all by ourselves There's dirt on our uniforms From chasing all the ants and worms We clean up and now it's time to learn We clean up and now it's time to learn Numbers, letters, learn to spell Nouns and books, and show and tell Playtime, we will throw the ball Back to class, through the hall Teacher marks our height against the wall Teacher marks our height against the wall And we don't notice any time pass We don't notice anything We sit side by side in every class Teacher thinks that I sound funny But she likes the way you sing Tonight I'll dream, while I’m in bed When silly thoughts go through my head About the bugs and alphabet And when I wake tomorrow, I'll bet That you and I will walk together again I can tell that we are gonna be friends Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Hallucinations 02:36
lyrics
buy track
I saw you walking Only yesterday When I ran to catch you You disappeared And the street was gray. The candle died Now you are gone For the flame was too bright Now you are gone. I heard you laughing With your laugh of gold When I called out to you Silence returned And the air was cold. The castle fell Now you are gone And no more rings the bell Now you are gone. I found a letter On the day it rained When I tore it open There in my hands Only ash remained. The castle fell Now you are gone And no more rings the bell Now you are gone. I felt you breathing As I fell asleep When I reached out to touch you. No one was there And the night was deep The candle died Now you are gone For the flame was too bright. Now you are gone I saw you walking Only yesterday. When I ran to catch you You disappeared And the street was gray. The castle fell. Now you are gone No more rings the bell Now you are gone.

Tickle Me Pink 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Tickle me pink I'm rosy as a flushed red apple skin Except I've never been as sweet I've rolled around the orchard And found myself too awkward And tickle me green I'm too naive Pray for the people inside your head For they won't be there when you're dead Muffled out and pushed back down Pushed back through the leafy ground Time is too early My hair isn't curly I wish I was home and tucked away When nothing goes right And the future's dark as night What you need is a sunny sunny day Pray for the people inside your head For they won't be there when you're dead Muffled out and pushed back down Pushed back through the leafy ground Don't know where I can find myself a brand new pair of ears Don't know where I can buy a heart The one I've got is shoddy I need a brand new body And then I can have a brand new start Pray for the people inside your head For they won't be there when you're dead Muffled out and pushed back down Pushed back through the leafy ground Monsters in the valley And shootings in the alley And people fall flat at every turn There is no straight and narrow Offload your wheelbarrow And pick up your sticks and twigs to burn Pray for the people inside your head For they won't be there when you're dead

Just Like Anything 02:22
lyrics
buy track
Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind Sunlight dances slowly on a drum beats broken rhyme I speak in answers only to see them in my mind If I had a penny I'd throw it in the sea To see if would float away Or grow of any tree I play the fool of rhythm To speak of what is sane I never think of singing to those who feel the same See how high the rain falls See the color in my hair Hunt for golden pourage bowls Hear the paper tear Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind Death gives no reason So why should I Death has no season So I know I'll never die Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind

The CN Tower Belongs to the Dead 02:26
lyrics
buy track
We the dead, we the dead find a country road Country road, lead the dead from our homes to the ground Keep a book of the maggots our bodies will snare 'Cause the earth is the earth, no need to travel in the air The CN Tower is built upon our bones The CN Tower will always be our home Decorate 'round the base, all the graves of our lost loves Cabbages, ginger root and a crucifix Never rode on the plains, never thought I couldn't stay Had a good run anyway, had a good run anyway I could fill up the lake with all the things I didn't say Had a good run anyway, had a good run anyway From the top of the tower Radio buds in our ears We can see your house from here From the top of the tower Radio buds in our ears We can see your house from here

Milk 02:12
lyrics
buy track
If it weren't for you, I'd still talk in riddles And use my thumbs only for empty space To emphasise the awkward silence In the middle between not-so-important words And if it weren't for you, I'd still know how to stop With boundaries like barbed wire frontiers And only one dog door hidden somewhere to cross I can't even see the border from here You see, I don't think you're wasting time If I could just make all the inner clocks stop ticking We might meet in the dark and quickly wipe the blood off our mouths Oh, I'd still think I know what you're thinking And if it weren't for you, I'd still be so damn good at lying And believing that love's some stupid card trick Made out of jacks, queens, hearts, and diamonds With you I'd gladly drink too much milk until it makes our stomachs sick With you I'd gladly drink too much milk until it makes our stomachs sick With you I'd drink, with you I'd drink With you I'd drink, with you I'd drink

Memento Mori 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Everyone I love is gonna die And I will die as well I think about this before I sleep And have since I was a child In my life, will I make a difference? In my death, will I be missed? Will I be granted some sort of an afterlife Or will I just cease to exist? This fear makes me feel so naive I wish that I could just accept But I'm chilled by the redundancy of Thoughts collected, but not kept Maybe I'm still a stupid little boy Too weak to understand what will come I want to find peace of mind Maybe no mind is the answer to that conundrum Oh, I want to be a baby again Oh, I want pure thoughts in my head Oh, I want to be a baby again Oh, I want pure thoughts in my head Oh, I want to be a baby again Oh, I want to forget Oh, I want to be a baby again Oh, I want pure thoughts in my head Oh, I want to be a baby again Oh, I want to forget Everyone I love is gonna die And I will die as well I think about this before I sleep And have since I was a child

Black Box 01:44
lyrics
buy track
An old man in a frame, throwing eyes at me in a vain, and he cries himself awake. While a big sister in a train, says 'I am never coming back', and she cries herself awake. A great uncle hits the screen, exit hope and all his dreams and they cry themselves awake. Christmas comes and goes for good, the words I lost, the ones I misunderstood, I cry myself awake. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to see.

Musician Inspired by Thunder Perfect Mind

My friends are birds, my friends are trees,
my friends are fishies in the stream
water is my friend and fire and earth and air,
my friends are laughing stars, and winds and (not so) feral beasts as they may seem
and all my friends are beautiful and wondrous fair

I am a bird as well a bird of fire and water, soil and air

And I like to do things ... more
