well i don't know a whole lot about you
and i know only so much about me
and it's hard to know
yeah it's hard to know how this is all gonna turn out
yeah i'd say it's hard to know how this is gonna turn out
we gotta put forth our best effort
but still it's really hard to know
yeah it's hard to know
it's hard to know where to go
everyone seems to be going somewhere
where am i gonna go?
should i follow everyone?
should i go my own way?
it's hard to know
it's hard to know
how its gonna turn out
gotta turn it out
though it's hard to know
nothing's easy
try to make it look like it's easy
but it's hard to know
sometimes it's lonely
sometimes what looks like playful is actually an act of desperation
sometimes i sing only to keep myself from screaming
it's hard to know how this is all gonna turn out
yeah it's really hard to say
it's really dark up ahead, keep going anyway
got some sort of light of my own
it seems
it's hard to know how this is all gonna turn out
it would help if you walk with me
sometimes it's hard to know how this is all gonna turn out
it really helps to have a friend
it really helps to not think too much about the end
because it's really hard to know

Invisible Hand
04:34
|
|||
well i hold out my hand
let the light fill me up
all this darkness within permeating my boundaries
here comes the wind, yeah here comes the wind
time to blow over this town where the sun always shines
so i stuck out my hand
hoping you would see
im a clay person
im a clay person
well the river swells
bursting beyond its bed
taking out all the signs and washing away all the footprints
well i put out my hand
did you see me when i put out my hand?
your eyes look at me
at the sunlight gleams
even though the darkness in your eyes
can take in all the light
a cloud rolls over my hand
a cloud covers my hand
you look to find my arm with a cloud at the end covering my hand
well you can't bury this knowledge
not with all the sand
and you cant carry these memories not with every star in the sky
and the darkness in between this light
and the memories in between this sight
well i stuck out my hand
hoping you would understand
you're the kind of person thats in my dreams
and the kind of feeling i cant understand
i need a hand
and i think we can walk down these stairs back again
covered in clay
i told you im a person thats made out of clay
so i stuck out my hand
yeah i stuck out my hand
cant follow my footprints in the sand
the river has swelled up beyond
it has taken over all the small ponds
i stuck out my hand for you
yeah i stuck out my hand for you

After Awhile
04:45
|
|||
you might see me after awhile
after the storm has cleared the air
you see right through me
after awhile
the mystery has become public domain
everything you've learned inside your brain
after awhile
after awhile
well you take something by the neck
that once was wild
you make it tame
show it where to sit
give it something to eat
somewhere to sleep
some place to be
after awhile
after awhile
you broke me down
you showed me around
gave me a new way to feel
something to make believe that its real
after awhile
after awhile
in little ways think small
cut down that pride
into little bite size
for god's sakes you're not the only one
i was singing in some key
i thought we were in harmony
after awhile
after awhile
your fading smile
you take it too far mile after mile
after we've gone so far look back and look back behind our shoulders
after awhile
after awhile
this is a crooked path
this is a crooked path we're on
we can't go forward
and we can't go back
some of those bridges are burned
some of the water has risen too high
some of those animals that used to help us are gone
after awhile
after awhile
i dont even remember how to love anymore, im not sure
maybe i do maybe i dont
i dont wanna give up this fight, baby
i still wanna fall in love
but i dont know how
i still wanna make something good
but i dont know what good is anymore
yeah after awhile

See You Soon
02:58
|
|||
i'll see you soon
i'll see you soon
wax dreaming of the moon
fall asleep too soon
awake in a blue room
i'll see you soon
i'll see you soon
will you wait inside the room?
waxing new moon
i'll see you soon
see you soon
see you soon

Willow

weeping willow tree on fire
here comes the rain that you require
to put out the flames of desire
so now you can dream instead of conspire
weeping willow tree on fire
here comes the winds of desire
will your tears put out this fire?

Nat'l Anthem
03:20
|
|||
i'm going down, down to the river
gonna rinse out this national anthem
gotta get you out of my mind
if im gonna think, if i wanna use my brain
gonna get you back in my life
if i wanna feel the sun on my skin
national anthem, we need to change
we gotta write another song
burn it down, let it fall back to the earth
from whence it came
gotta get you back into my life
if i wanna live, if i wanna love again
got a natural high from this national anthem
and the trees are growing again
gotta get you back, no, i cant get you back
for all you've done
you've done so much for us

Healing Song
03:56
|
|||
i want to heal
i want to feel

i want to heal
i want to feel

and i am near
i want to heal
i want to feel

Begin Again
03:23
|
|||
you cannot run away from what's inside of you
you must begin again
you must begin again
when that good feeling is gone and the door is shut
you must begin again
begin begin again
black shining stars that make that dark zodiac
and the light falls on our back with the shadow in front
begin begin again begin begin again
you can't undo what's already done
three together can make one
we must begin to begin again
begin, begin again begin, begin again
your heart has been broken and mended back
rhythms will carry you home
the rhythms will carry you home
to begin, to begin again
to begin, to begin again
begin begin again
begin begin again
begin begin again

Over
01:36
|
|||
rushing over the stones
going over the unknown
fighting fire with the stones
water rushing over bones
softest over the hard
the hard is ruined over time
it's turned into powder
and its going into the wind
it's rushing over the stone
it's going deep into the unknown
water is flowing through the bone
it's rushing over the stones
softest going over the hard
the hard is going under the tide
it's rushing over the stones
water is rushing over the stones

While We Wait
03:40
|
|||
while we wait gather some clouds
and while we wait gather some fire
while the clouds do drift over the sun
and the crater face of the moon carries the sun
and while we wait the trees' roots grow deeper
and while we wait the mushroom becomes the grim reaper
you know all the things that we need are drifting
it's next to your feet, it's in the trash can, it's on the side, it's in the corner of your eye
it's everything you don't know
and all that you don't want
and while we wait we look into each other's futures
and while we wait we seem to be surprised
surprised!
(when they came out of the star
tumbling tumbling tumbling tumbling down
and into the lake
splash! swish swish swish
into the river, jumped up, jumped, jumped, jumped up
the river, the river, the lake, the lake i mean, the smooth lake
while we wait
yeah while we wait)
you land on the water
you don't break through the surface, not yet
then you plunge deep down
sink down to the bottom
look up through the water
see the sun shining through the ceiling of water
while we wait

and in my eye

my my mind
