some call it soul
it’s this strange sky inside
when it’s raised by the mountains
it takes your breath away
we’re alive like all the others
just let fear roar within
without roaring yourself
explain why you’re here
and overpowered
‘cause we’re also meat
shall we settle in
we must share the place
we devour the sun
we know how it can be done
in our mouth
the forest flies
a breach opened
‘cause we’re also meat
and they settle in
we devour the sun
we know how it can be done
open mouth
the forest flies
everyone’s calling out
the living are rising up
the breath of the earth is air
straddling two worlds
that communicate
we won’t lose what we don’t own

the whole of the moon

she sees the whole of the moon
i did as well as i could
when i gathered what a magnet she was
she’s in charge - off the rails
sets a fire to my brain
watch the whole house beginning to fall
and she orders a tonic
she’s a mess it’s ironic
it’s a bliss she’s magnificent
‘cause it’s all connected
always the signs are easy to find
it’s clear, divine
we’re high we reach the speed of light
you’d better buckle up
we want a revolution
we get new with the moon
and did as well as we could
and together what a magnet we’re bright
and we order a tonic
i’m a mess she’s ironic
it’s a bliss we’re magnificent
‘cause it’s all connected
always the signs are easy to find
it’s clear, divine
we’re proud we reach the speed of light
you’d better buckle up
we start a revolution
and she orders a tonic
she’s a mess she’s ironic
it’s a bliss she’s magnificent
‘cause it’s all connected
and we order a tonic
we’re a mess it’s ironic
it’s a bliss we’re magnificent
‘cause we’re all connected
always the signs are easy to find
it’s clear, divine
we shine we reach the speed of light
you’d better buckle up
this starts a revolution

dormant plants

when you are down
you can call me
eyes closed we’ll walk
the way your blood beats
playing the parts
is a lot to ask
and for real
we need some time out
we’ll take off
the costumes and the ties
and tidy up
we’ll come back to it once
we’ve cooled down
‘cause it’s a lot to ask
now with open eyes
look it’s a full moon on the pines
the mounds in motion blur the lines
earth stars and we are
welded as one
welded as one
when you are down
you can feel me
i stroke your back
the way your blood beats
‘cause in our hearts
we have a lot to ask
and we will
now with open eyes
it’s a full moon on the pines
the mounds in motion blur the lines
earth stars and we are
welded as one
welded as one
and you can hide
the branches are rustling
let us sit and wait
your paws are mine
your questions, accurate
the dormant plants
ready to be found
it’s a full moon on the pines
the mounds in motion blur the lines
earth stars and we are
welded as one
it’s a full moon on the pines
the mounds in motion blur the lines
earth stars and we are
welded as one
welded as one
welded as one

contact zone

and as the light went out
all the magic i used to know
all the figures around
entered the house and said
“hello, hello”
“use tricks to stay alive”
it seems their voices are clear and gold
they catch you off guard
it seems you entered a contact zone
shall we slow down time
touch the undefined
and as the light went out
i thought i would end up lost and cold
they said “but you can get back to
the warmth emitted by trees and stones
and stones”
shall we slow down time
touch the undefined
they can smell your emotions and see the sounds
in the gloom of our days
i found it strange at first then i knew i
started dreaming again
they can slip into my skin at any time
and we are not at risk in this realm
i found it strange at first then i knew i
started dreaming again
learn to travel through valleys floods and storms
deers and beavers dwell in the contact zone
as well as cedars and moss and fern and thorns
all receiving you in the contact zone
learn to travel through valleys floods and storms
deers and beavers dwell in the contact zone
as well as cedars and moss and fern and thorns
all receiving you in the contact zone

pale eyes
03:53

no such thing
as when you look up
and nobody seems to
understand
the stories and lives
you carry inside
of your pale eyes
they read in your clothes
you don’t fit here at all
hiding behind the law
they feel so strong
but now i don’t mind
i will take them away
since they drew all the lines
and would they ask if i’m fine?
then i’ll rule all this out
this role is not mine
but there’s no such thing
as when you look up
and somebody seems to
understand
the uneasy child
that’s hiding inside
of your pale eyes
they read in your clothes
you don’t fit here at all
reinventing your laws
you feel so strong
and now i don’t mind
i’m just washing away
and drawing all the lines
so would you ask if i’m fine?
yes, i figured it out
this role is not mine
and now i don’t mind
i’m just washing away
and drawing all the lines
so would you ask if i’m fine?
yes, i figured it out
this role is not mine

change my name
06:52
|

change my name
make some holes in my brain
to see the light
stabilize
take a look through my things and figure me out
but i’m as afraid as you
just wanna walk away
change my face
the disorder created calms me now
emphasize
all the features in me that figure me out
but i’m as afraid as you
of losing my skin of losing my friends
and my parents too
no matter how i chose them or why they chose me
it’s a shame we’re too
confined by how we speak
i can’t - eat - win - know - fuck with those words anymore
i can’t - eat - win - know - learn - see - leave - care - beat or hate
with those words anymore
my dear friends told me
how to heal
with peace and sounds
without words
with acts
be allies
like leaves and wind
can we try to meet
what’s your name?
come hide with me
it makes sense
if we could invent
our names again
we get there slowly
and we heal
we are the wind
without words
with acts
we’re allies
like leaves and wind
we hear their stories
about new kinds
of embassies
it makes sense
and we reinvent
our names again

think like a mountain
04:33
|

|
when you’re breathing hard do you ask for help?
do you see those immune reactions as a kind of spell?
paralyzed in your body shell
you’re trying to touch the world your fingers forgot how it felt
just take it slow and turn around
now feel the breeze on your skin and down your spine
waves strike the walls
at the edge on the misty coast
dance like a mountain
rewrite the rules again
shall we look around instead of ahead
what we look at changes who we are where we’re trying to get
patterns repeat and they overlay
a hundred times you followed the groove
you know what’s coming next
just take it slow and turn around
now feel the breeze on your skin and down your spine
waves strike the walls
at the edge on the misty coast
dance like a mountain
rewrite the rules again
it’s a long way to go
to think like a mountain
its steep scree slope
is reorganizing
reshaping the pier with sand
waves strike the walls
at the edge on the misty coast
dance like a mountain
rewrite the rules again
it’s a long way to go
to think a mountain
your steep scree slope
is reorganizing
rewriting the rules again
rewrite the rules again
rewrite the rules again

shifting forms
04:45

when my body is near you
i can change shape
when my body is near you
it creates space
and like the moon
touching the tide
you wave in my mind
i am the wolf
and when you die
we’ll only be
calm
we’re shifting forms
we’re all at once
yet to be born a thousand times
the cycles repeating in every move
in every cell lies every clue
when my body is near you
i can change shape
when my body is near you
it creates space
and coming soon
the open wide
will wave in your mind
i am the wolf
and now you die
your fur in my
mouth
we’re shifting forms
we’re all at once
yet to be born a thousand times
the cycles repeating in every move
in every cell lies every clue
when my body is near you
i can change shape
when my body is near you
it creates space

how we break
05:56
|

|
is that you by my side?
i keep asking you why
do i swim with the tide?
is it me that you like?
is it you by my side?
i sing songs for the lost
and i sing a song for us
we go to great heights and fall
just to see how we break
just to see how we break
just to see how we break
just to see how we break
i sing songs for the lost
and i sing a song for us
we go to great heights and fall
just to see how we break
