Ipso Facto 04:33
It's all I can stand The task right at hand It's all there's ever been to me Up there, the moon upon a string Self assured Empty words Here and now I've lost control Take it or leave it at my words Here and now I'm fast awake Toss and turning in this state Tomorrow's ambiguities and Borrowed insecurities and Decisions that I need to make and Decisions that I leave to fate (that) Tomorrow often brings The moon upon a string Until I've spread my wings Abandon everything Here and now I've lost control Take it or leave it at my words (Rock a bye baby) Toss and turning in this state (High up in the tree) Here and now I'm fast awake The moon upon a string

Lono 03:32
Lono So you've come Just for me Floating Right above me In my sleep Sleep Lono You're on my chest I can't breath Licking My eyelids While I dream Dream If I calm right down Then I think I can breath But if I come back to Then Lono would leave Stay

Paper Bags 03:34
Innocence I'm missing it since You've gone away I've been chasing paper bags They fly away Useless garble, genesis missed I'm wide awake I've been watching vapor trails They're miles away You can drag my body with You can spin me 'round You can use me as you wish I insist, yeah Innocence I'm missing it since You've gone away I've been chasing paper bags They fly away You can drag my body with You can spin me 'round You can use me as you wish I insist, yeah

Waking at the sunrise time I wanna chance you won't be angry But I've been someone else I've crossed the slowdown mile The heat is setting in I think that I've been someone else I wanna take it real slow But I've been someone else Slipping on a sunlight switch I wanna say I feel ecstatic With all my waking mind I've seen the bright lit sky I wanna trip the light fantastic With all my waking mind I wanna take it real slow

Wings 02:53
Fast asleep And when you fall You'll see the moon, the rising stars Dreams of sheep And motor cars Drop from the sun like falling shards You got your wings now flap 'um Snap your fingers now make it happen Out to sea In summer storms The thunder claps, the lions roar In too deep, The siren's songs They'll sing you sweet then move along They'll sing you sweet and hollow They'll sing you right to shallows They'll sing you right back to shore Brace yourself here comes the rising sun You had your wings, now they've both fallen off The morning light has gone and called your bluff The waves are lapping on and on and on You had your wings and then you lost them You had your moment and it cost you You had your chance and now you're cast ashore Shore

Daisies 04:05
Pushing up daises Laying here waiting Holding on tightly Dirt filling up my lungs Ring around my road is Coming up to beckon me Everyone I know says Rage against the open sea Please The ring around my eyes is Opening horizons Vision is clearer Now I can hardly see Feeling much lighter Farther I drift from me Been holding so tight Please let go of me Please

Sleep tight We turn out the lights With it goes the world Spinning on its whirl Weaving out its yarn Quilted patterned stars Now sleep Peace attend thee Wade into the sea Rocking gently Release you've longed for Now a distant shore Breaking at your door Soar Dreams border dreams Glassy imaginings Enveloping Dream-like Between-like Seamless Beckoning me inside of me Beach side So bright Insight Into your betwixt and in-between Dreams border dreams Glassy imaginings Enveloping

about

Up there the moon upon a string.
Floating right above me in my sleep.
Genesis missed, I'm wide awake.
I wanna trip the light fantastic with all my waking mind.
You had your wings now they've both fallen off.
The ring around my eyes is opening horizons.
Now sleep, peace attend thee.
