Do For Self

so i do for me
so take it all from me
so i lay for me
surely for me
slowly for me
so far from me
so so sorry
so i lay for me
surely for me
slowly for me
so far for me
so far from me
when my light louder
make my world childer
then my life wilder

go on, give it to me straight
i wanna hear it from your point of view
come on, you're gonna make me late
i wanna learn because it's what i do
forget it, come along i want to away
come along i want to away, i wanna weigh my life with you
don't you get it? you make it in a day
[you may not get any]
fall out, make time
grow light, you'll find your way
go on, give it to me straight
i wanna hear it from your point of view
come on, i wanna make you late
i wanna run, i wanna play with you
i think it's about to be about the beat
so while you're at it why don't you look down at your feet?
fall out, make time
grow light, you'll find your way
fall out ..
more light, give all away
come on and get on it
you want it, you got it
fell on it, forgot it
[fall out, give all away]
[fall out, go a way]

Bottom

get beneath what words are said
never mind what's in your head
you don't know what's harming you
you can cry a lot until you get to
the bottom of this tune
kill your masters they go faster than you'd set your pace
i know one day you'll get in between the matter
regarding time, we're counting on you
you will try a lot until you get to
the bottom of this tune
you don't know what's harming you
[you can cry a lot until you get to
the bottom of this tune]
get beneath what words are said
never mind what's in your head
you don't know what's harming you
you will die a lot, and then you'll get to
the bottom of this tune

Man On Fire
03:37

fell down, crawled out
in towards false light
fell down, reached out,
found knot untied inside
inside i find it colder than
a man on fire making stupid faces
pardon my explicative guile
i'll shut me down for a little while
i'm wicked awful
find out, send help
take your time, don't you mind
i find it cold, find it colder than
a man on fire making stupid faces
pardon my explicative guile
i'll shut me down for a little while
i find it cold, find it colder than
a blanket smile in impoverished culture
you decide what moves and matters to you
you divide your time when patterns suit you
you design your life as only you do
you align with which you only knew
because that's what knew you
i'm wicked awful [i make it all fall]

Middle

meet me in the middle, it's a little cold
seat me in the middle, it's a riddle, don't go in the middle
treat me just a little more to your fiddle in the middle
ok, i surmise all day with my own eyes
that y'all ain't dead [y'all ain't dead]
i sympathize with your struggle
may be time to circumnavigate your bubble
ok, i realize, lonely in my own guise,
to ally with the fight, lend and eye to the blind
care for careful love in you
if you allow the words to fall in places
single cycle will light your aching conflict
follow fallow plots in your garden, maker
take it only if you will make it, faker
meet me [seat me] in the middle,
it's a riddle, don't go in the middle
if you allow the words to fall in places
single cycle will light your aching conflict
follow fallow plots in your garden, maker
take it only if you will make it, faker

given a while,
in time i deliver
always in time
go away, i need
a little bit of solitude
to my own
forget why i lied
made believe her
who made my mind
follow, go ahead
you are let on [you are led on]
[take a little bit of time]
i don't know if i
fell in down the well
will i see the light
before i go to hell?
there's something in the water
that's poisoning our children
and i don't want my daughters
to know what really happens
and if i live to tell
what happened down the well
it wouldn't be a lie, my friends
to say i've galvanized
but i'm terrified

Follow
04:30
|
|
||
|
day ran over you
and night fell over too
thru a particular lens
i was thinking i'd win
even if i'd lose friends
false i was thinking
and when i'd awoken
i vowed i would never again
follow, feel it, follow
they cannot wait for you
and i think you'll pull it thru
they say they want the truth
must mean i am born to die
thru a particular lens
i was thinking i'd win
even if i'd lose friends
false i was thinking
and when i'd awoken
i vowed i would never again
now in a moment of sense
try to make it less dense
even if it costs cents
you can afford it
you write and record it
and now you can start it again
and even if you let it go
then even though you are left with an echo
you would prefer to make it so
and even tho it would hurt, you would grow
you wouldn't have to let her go,
all along she will live, and you're wrong
you made it then you let it go
move along, you are safe in your song

how long, how long will this last?
all we're doing is fearing the past [path]
let it all wash off in the stream
save yourself, you know what i mean
you know what i mean
you know what i mean
you know what i mean
it's only a dream
you warmed me and then
made off with my head
i am afraid of your bed
i love you, i loved you
i love you, all of you

Often
03:54
|
|
||
|
to this you say
often [often], i draw the line
forget [forget] where i went blind
go ahead, go ahead
we're facing time
fall in, fall in, i wouldn't mind
come and behold your own divine
that said, you're only but a soul incarnate
misstep in stride, alive inside
cold when [cold wind] i'm alive
falling down in faith
and i know i went blind
falling down in faith

Carry Us
03:28
|
|
||
|
come carry us down to our bed
don't bury us, we are not dead yet
oh my, mary us
flowers in our bed
i query us
god's in our heads
what is said is our bread
we are fed
could all of the violence end?
if only you think it can
for those seeking a helping hand
be kind when you feed your body
be wise when you use your mind
think of your neighbor's children
just sit alone and be quiet
you didn't mean anything by it
fellover my own
