Desert Tracks (Postlapsarian)

Democratic Landscape

Collective Incandescent
Go to war against all those who make you
Think about all those who made you

Boundless Intersection
Fail each other just enough
And you might feel alive

Landscape cutting lines
Portrait of tomorrow
It’s no surprise that one of us will lead the sick
Toward the silent systematic bliss

Lone Majesty
Walk alongside
Murderers and thieves

Woe, come to me
Gallivant with armies
Through the streets

Welcome, everybody’s welcome

Everybody's everybody's everybody


Monument

We are all fleeting
Traveler, tread lightly on the line
Ladder rungs competing
To support a single step of the divine

Monument
A pilgrim stands beside himself
Unworthy, but unshackled from his binds
Monument
A misanthrope can daydream
About the subtle fall of love and light

New moon
New moon

We are all fleeting
Marvel at the sight of complication
More or less breathing
Traveler on the shore of good health and good time

Monument
A pilgrim stands beside himself
Unworthy, but unshackled from his binds
Monument
A misanthrope can daydream
About the lack of lessons in his life

New moon
New moon


Guilt

Be what they need
I’m feeling sick
I’m feeling tired of this restless human mind

Be less than He
I’m feeling anxious
Feeling troubled by the weight of my own pride

Learn your lessons well enough and soon you’ll be alright

Believe in me
I’m feeling worried
Feeling troubled by the whispers in the night

Be more than she
I’m feeling helpless
Feeling captured in a self-reflective tide

And then a wandering breeze
Wraps its silence around me
Mourning love and lust and complication

And then She’s there again
Not a lover, not a friend
Nothing more than perfect harmony awakened

I am guilty of tormenting
I am worthy of your strife
I am guilty of pretending
I am guilty in the night

I can hear the voice it’s calling
I’m lost and need a guide
I am guilty of tormenting
I’m guilty in the night


Coyote

Awake again, worried
Walking about
Who would have thought I’d be begging
To let it all out

Howling and growling
Like I know what I want tonight
Can’t help myself
Don’t mind my coyote whine

I walk in my ways
Talk with my loudmouth
Stalk my prey
Give nothing away
I see right through you
Make my way to you
Play your game
Give nothing away
Give nothing away

It’s a low-light kind of night and I feel better
Who could have guessed it would end with this
Nothing controls me like you do, nothing’s better
Than that goodbye wave
And my heavy-hearted kiss

Baby there’s something about the darkness that’s pulling me in
Heartache and heartbreak
A woman and her man

I’m lost in my ways
Talk with my loudmouth
Stalk my prey
Give nothing away
I see right through you
Make my way to you
Play your game
Give nothing away
Give nothing away


Night Walk (Instrumental)


Oryon

My friends told me I shouldn’t worry all the time
I know the more I chase
The further I fall behind

I never thought that peace would take me away from here
To tiny points of light
Beyond the atmosphere

In a dream
You make yourself known
Why can’t I let you be on your way
Mettle go around my lonely soul
Hold me up through the day

Follow closely
Your millennial path
Move on through the fray
Constellation
My ephemeral wrath
Help it fade away

Oryon
Marching through the night
Oryon
Don’t you want to stay
Oryon
Laughing in the light
Hidden in the day


Sonic Boom (Instrumental)


Limits

I’m sure my hands know something
My mind doesn’t
That ancient calligraphy

Some days I miss my sisters
And miss my cousins
But I can see them passing in the breeze

I’m moving downhill, lower and lower still
Down to masters, makers and waterwheels
I’m not here for the high
I’m just here for the ride
Not a limit in sight
Not a limit in sight

I’m sure my mind knows something
My heart doesn’t
That mystic epiphany

Some days I miss my brothers
And miss my mother
And my ears ring when they’re missing me

History is a mystery
The future keeps unfolding
Walk with me through the darkest streets
And I’ll just keep beholding

I’m moving downhill, lower and lower still
Down to masters, makers and waterwheels
I’m not here for the high
I’m just here for the ride
Not a limit in sight
Not a limit in sight

I’m sure my hands know something
My mind doesn’t

I’m sure my hands know something
My mind doesn’t


Ambrosia

When you are walking or sitting in silence
I urge you to think about what you were dreaming last night
Before coffee and radio signals came through

Where do we come from and what is this feeling
I’m feeling I feel like I’m falling and calling for
You and your sisters, my friends and my family too

How can I get you to come to my table
I’ve worked for the last twenty years to be able
To make you a meal
My ambrosia
My youth

Don’t mind the music
It’s always confusing my heart
And bemusing me

Why does the light shine so brightly when you are around
Why do the faces of people around us seem awfully profound
Who are the masters and where do they come from
I just can’t decide
Maybe they’re angels or demons or people
That would be nice

Ambrosia in time
Ambrosia in time


Sunshine

Hey friend
We know it has to happen
Keep showing me the way, friend
And I can let you go

Hey friend
It’s been a long time coming
This shortsighted parade, friend
It makes me feel alive

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hey friend
We know it has to happen
Nobody gets to stay, friend
So let’s just take it slow

Hey friend
It’s been a long time coming
The song I sing today, friend
Keeps you by my side

Sunshine, carry me home
Sunshine, carry me home
Sunshine, carry me home
Sunshine, carry me home


Home

Harmony, play for me
This is only and dream, this is only a dream
Mother please, carry me
Hold my hand and sing, hold my hand and sing

Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Baby don’t be broken, by the lovely heavy-hearted
Take my hand
And I’ll sing to you
I will never leave you
I would never leave you

Home is where the heart is
Where is home


Desert Tracks (Instrumental)


Home (Outro)

Home
I'm calling
You
