Let's Get Connected
04:04

The seasons and the storm, it’s all connected
A feeling in your bones that you’ve long suspected
All this talking through a screen is going to make me scream
I think you know what I mean
We need connection
The shrooms and the trees, it’s all connected
A whisper in your head that won’t be rejected
(All those whispers in your head)
Can’t let those hologram machines replace our dreams
We’ve gotta go deep on an inner space odyssey
We need connection
We’re talking to reflections
Let’s get connected
We need connection

Compassion Pit
04:25

Faces burned in our minds
We sink, while you fly
(Taken before your time)
You should still be here
(Right here)
You know we need you here
So let’s be clear
Sometimes life is so cruel and unfair
So do me a favour
And keep your God over there
I hope that they find you
They say consciousness can never die
And yet, so many tears in this lullaby
We choose never to forget
(We will remember)
Let’s go and live our life with no regrets
But we’re not there yet
Sometimes life is so cruel and unfair
So do me a favour
And keep your God over there
I hope that they find you
I just hope that they find you

All Hail The Mystics
04:58

All hail the mystics
Whispers from the depths
A pathway through the forest
Sit among the statues
The moonlight will project
A pathway to the ancients
Face down in the lichen
I hear the ravens call
Even big ideas start small
Can anybody even hear me?
Does anybody care at all?
The tears mix with the rain as it falls
Let’s count raindrops instead of hours
Let’s make memories instead of dollars
When I’m with you I’ve got magic powers
Oh look, here come the showers
I am the sky, my thoughts are the clouds
I’m breathing in and out
I am alive without a doubt
I’m breathing in and out
All hail the mystics
All hail the mistakes

Soft Focus
04:28
|
|||
Sitting at the edge of a lake
But it’s man made
Why do we always have to change
Everything and anything
Couldn’t we do with a little less concrete
And city streets named after trees
It’s time to put down that screen
And if you feel the same
Come join me in the rain
We can wash those cares away
We can shed our family names
We can heal our family shame
And be like animals again
Progress, it’s a slippery slope
But I carry hope
That the children will rise above
Those petty “isms” we use as prisons
And see that the answer is love
And I know you feel the same
Come join me in the summer rain
We can wash that blood away
We can shed our family names
We can heal our family shame
And be like animals again
I know that I get cynical
When my gaze gets overly clinical
Got to remember
Soft focus
In a world that seems so typical
It can be hard to see the mystical
Got to remember
Soft focus keeps things whimsical
And I know you feel the same
Come join me in the summer rain
We can dance our cares away
We can shed our family names
We can heal our family shame
And be like animals again

Listen to the leaves
Listen to the trees
Listen to the birds and save your words
Embrace the rain and reach for your pain
Honour the dead
Even just in your head
Light as a feather I’ve got it together
Free as a bird I’m a man of my word
Stones at my feet
So dirty, so cheap
They’ll be around long after I’m gone
Light as a feather I love you forever
Free as a bird I’m a man of my word
Light as a feather I’ve got it together
Light as a feather now and forever
The trees sing sweet swan songs
For all their leaves
Mother nature, you’re the medicine I need
Song of the meadowlark cuts through the dark
Song of the meadowlark right through my heart

If this is another one of your games
Deal me another hand or let me walk away
I’m not going to sit here and let you pass me by
But if those are your terms, I won’t even try
You’re everything I’ve waited for
Love’s been elusive and I’ve been so unsure
And if I admit I’m afraid
Would you love me
Or leave me like everyone before
Now that I’ve felt your lips against mine
I find myself pacing to pass the time
Have you written my part and not told me my lines
You’re nobodies woman, but I wish you would be mine
You’re everything I’ve waited for
Love’s been elusive and I’ve been so unsure
And if I admit I’m afraid
Would you love me
Or leave me like everyone before

Integration
04:32
|
|||
The contours of the universe
The shapes and the curves
Are there to encourage us to converse
It’s been too long since I’ve held your face
Stuck to our screens
Just a touch could be enough
Stay cool, stay true
There’s darkness inside you
Stay cool, stay true
There’s sunlight in there too
Some days I wish that I could stay on the land
But the heart of the practise is the coming back
To integrate, not disintegrate
Can the insights remain
Just a touch could be enough
Stay cool, stay true
There’s darkness inside you
Stay cool, stay true
There’s sunlight in there too
Stay cool, stay true
There’s shadows inside you
Stay cool, stay true
There’s magic in there too
Mountain stream daydreams
Summer rain, fall storm
Mountain peaks capped with melting glaciers
At your feet lichen on the bark of the cedar tree
Holding on for dear life
And hiding from the sun
Starry night constellations
Sunset, full moon
Deep forest, deep stream
There is life in you
