5. Like The Sun
In light of my present mess
In light of my mental weather's turn
In light of all the crash and burn
I'll open my mind as wide as ever
The lie behind the lesson, the soul in the open well
It might have been fate, It might have been fortune
It might have been wine and a mellow head
I'm finding my way, Finding the words
One body breaking
Someone come and rise up
Rise like the sun
If I am no one, Somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
Pride doesn't own me now
But know that at times life kinda hurts
And know that I will live and learn
So more than survive, I will endeavour
The mind behind the message, Alone on an ocean swell
It might have been grace, It might have gorgeous
It might have been why I've settled in
I'm finding my way, Finding the words
One body breaking
Someone come and rise up
Rise like the sun
If I am no one, Somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
Rise and show
A helpless man, a held out hand
Defining images that flow through my hope's
Surrender
the broken moments and pointing fingers
The closing of open minds
I might have been delayed, I might have been delirious
I might have been otherwise
Taking hammer blows Like an animal
For others
So heavy was my weight
I'm finding my way
Finding the words
One body breaking
Someone come and rise up
Rise like the sun
You'll find the world
Somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
I'm finding my way, Finding the words
One body breaking
Someone come and rise up
Rise like the sun
If I am no one, Somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
Rise and show
Show us
Something

6. Hell And Malfunction
One night I fell
Rolled over, caught some good air home
Above a deep, ferocious hillside
Hell and malfunction
We know, need, feel, want
We'll grow it in our mind's sun
To all feed someone
Save all from their mountains
Save all from their drowning
Save all from their endless nights
Their suicides
So then I sink
In slow motion, can't hold my breath long
In water's deep aloha half-smile
It's swim or be sunken
And know there's no one to get me out
From under
So help me someone
Save all from their mountains
Save all from their drowning
Save all from their endless nights
Their suicides
Save all from their mountains
Save all from their drowning
Save all from their restless nights
Their suicides
A no-win in no light, in no pain, it ain't right
Make that strap tight, take my air away, make my chest ache
I will stay awake, I will think of love, think of truth
Think of why I never really said enough
I never won, I never showed enough
I fucking never had a run and it's too late now
One night in hell
I strolled outside, a breath of sweet air
Cold, in bare, wet feet, I know I've woken
It's got to mean something
Save all from their mountains
Save all from their drowning
Save all from their sadness
Save all from their ranting
Save all from their silence
Save all from their grounding
Save all from their endless nights
Their suicides
7. Soft Bomb Salad
Inside of a moment shines the wet unbelievable
Beside every problem there's a rat under siege
And broken with all the right drugs
In time, in depth, in present tense
I'm cold and awful, yes I know
Uptight, intent on making sense
We are who we are
Instead of a motion there's a rest unachievable
Because in a cold wind there's a laugh underneath
Unspoken in all the right tongues
In time, in depth, in present tense
I'm cold and awful, yes I know
Uptight intent on making sense
We are who we are
In mind and breath, in my own head
I'm so unpopular, I know
In life and death, and second chance
We are who we are
And half along
Were slaughtered in song
When left alone
We were unsafe
When all is done
To be honestly numb
is all I can be lying here
Awake
A mild psychosis holds my hand underneath it all
A kind of ferocious old regret on its knees
And groping for just the right gun
10. Meat Dreams
Two ripe for solar, tender rust
Too unfortunate to wake up
Not a problem, don't blame us
In the warm of daylight's cunt
In the black hole of cream and sunbeds
In the break of a strong fast
In the opened heart of awareness there is us
She said how we get there doesn't matter
It's all how you breathe...and stay kind
And that I'm an enlightened bear
Though a scavenger through with scavenging
In a moment I'll lose my mind
In an hour I'll lose my substance
In my prime years I might unwind
On my deathbed I'll think of us as good on earth
My yarrow, my aloe and my changing needs
Smooth isn't effortless, soon doesn't wallow
In a poet's hands awakened
She's a moderate sexual artist
In a snowblind we are a fire
In the headlights we are a rabbit
In our downtime we're always on
In the dawn of time we were right there giving birth
A new lemon, two apples and the dream
Of us all
Entangled in the wet girl
Her island unto myself
Entangled like a left turn
When you lean on somebody else
We'll need the wise and fortunate to help out
Just so you know
We'll need the fire and effect of everything
We tell to ourselves
Underneath the red ringing bell
Wondering who has been here before and fell
Underheath our vanity's high hope tight rope glow
So no-one knows we've become one
The most we can offer is awe and a well
Of intention
What is saved isn't lost here
Underneath the red ringing bell
Wondering who has been here before and fell
11. Passenger
Then I woke, seven whole days gone
The sunrise is perfect
Taking aim, changing colours while it burns
It made my stomach turn
It made me quite unsure
A lesser diamond on a road with no horizon
Then it comes...I'm stardust
When a day hasn't been torture let me know
I'll find a way up, celebrate, then wake up
On the ground
I may define disturbed
A mental village burned
Connect to silence, say a prayer, let go of the rope
Then let it come
Now i'm done and I know
Because it hurts in all ways
In other words I am a passenger
A dream that's over
I'll let your wild ocean
Hold my light while you're quite broken...it's alright
I'll let the emotion roll my eyes
If not I apologize
Now I'm done
For once in my life I hurt
A slow train has overturned
And I am a passenger
A dream that's over
