from Ourself EP (2010)
Siren
siren
given to
back and forth
fickle as the tide
arise a different woman
than the one I knew last night
how can you trust her ocean with your heart
as her compass spins out of control rocks are hiding in the dark
while Siren sings come come
perfect pendulum
given to
her impulse
her amnesia
her heart follows the wind
weather's changing all the time
how can you trust her ocean with your heart
as her compass spins out of control rocks are hiding in the dark
while Siren sings come come
Our Gravity
we like to think we're meant to be so we play pretend after our teens
to make ourselves believe again that we're not broken children
but the colors don't seem to be
of the origin of our species
moving pieces desperately hanging on to gravity our gravity
forgetting is a way of fixing the things we can't assimilate
we find a complimentary shape to make ourselves feel whole again
look for a hole we fit inside call it a home a place to hide
or give a hole to someone else and for a time you'll feel alive
but the colors don't seem to be
from the gods that we devised
moving pieces desperately hanging on to gravity our gravity
we look for ourselves in other eyes
but our I's won't let us see
the I blinds the eye the I blinds the eye the I blinds the eye
but the colors don't seem to be
of the world that our I's see
moving pieces desperately hanging on to gravity
living in our gravity
and dying in our gravity
Man
what is it we do walking on two legs
you think they're different than you
have you felt the break within yourself
causing pain to something else
we put a man on the moon
we locked ourselves in our cities
empty incomplete
what is it we're missing
we tamed electricity
we've pondered god and made art
sailed the seas and mapped the stars
is all of this worth
what we've done to the earth
we rip out the trees
we eat gasoline
we bury our dead under profit and greed
we separate
fill our children with hate
we lie to ourselves
we pillage and rape
we war
we war
we war
man is an animal
that stepped out of the circle
No One I Know
still it stings where once you were
and until not I'll burn
less and less each day
becoming what you made me
until you are a stone
until you are a bang
until your face is gone
you can not be her
she was pure
who are you
every lover takes a piece
the holes are who we are
the parts we couldn't bare to lose
when gone become ourselves
until we are a void
until we are a shell
until we are evolved
until we are a world
you can not be her
she was pure
you can not be her
she was sane
who are you
