Somewhere my forest's tuned For its sunlights falling into view Come crawl my breakless steed Fetch each short reach Potter Mountain need Too late my tempered sweet You could hide dreams under each your feet Romanced by boulders bold Substance sings so different when it's told Knowing it, now showing it, showing it Knowing it, now showing it, showing it Hold on by lies of mine We were well when well was only fine Manic mind pleading means Carried racks are all you'll ever need My aged, my ancient eyes I will eat where mountain streets deny The most shy, the least true I'll defeat each mountaintop for you Knowing it, now showing it, showing it Knowing it, now showing it, showing it

Perched in the rain on a slowed down track Believing everything’s the same if I just turned back I belong in the wrong as the road sweats choice And I’m one foot further from the sound of your voice We can’t speak I don’t know how I’ve been grinding gears for years on the Erie Canal I’m as mad as the wind, cold, numbed to the air If I knew my fate, it’s too late to care I can’t explain how fast the weeks move on Underneath the coded bill I’ve gone Stretching past a pointed back unreached A lifting force forbids the wanted breach It was often I would chance a sleep Taking time and tossing into heaps And if I cared I’d change the way we play But not today regretting yesterdays You’re home misses you You’re home misses you, too I’ve been calling you back I know you’ve been calling me back And I can’t explain how the winds get strong No matter which way, no matter how long Cause if I took these fears, and I made them knowns We can’t get that far with the want for home And there’s work at hand I won’t often do For these tasks are me, and the means are new And as the work I have soon becomes what’s more I realize what I’m doing all this for

Eight Arms 04:23
I'm a tortoise shelled, yelling numbers Fish and patch the mouth, fueling slumbers Fleeting fields of corn, never eating Friendship lonesome sun, always greeting Frayed hold I'm afraid to hold Frayed hold I'm afraid to hold Eight arms up cursing you sky Clear are the needs Give them to me Haven't we gills yet? Give me an ocean to breath Give them to me Only the ships which Travel the seas that they wish Never resist Hold in my hand Two different directions of bliss Strangling this Wondered into fruitless knowing I'm just anchored to the hurt you're towing All the water rushed my rowing As we plug the seams to stop the bowing Eight arms not another showing I've been silenced by the rhythms going There's a thousand words I'm owiing Let the water rise as we are growing Frayed hold I'm afraid to hold Frayed hold I'm afraid to hold

The Rest 02:29
I took a cycle to the west To see if I could find the rest “The rest” I said “I have to find” The rest the best they’re all at rest Secured my lock about my chest For miles, pavement, it was just “I’ll find the rest” I said “I must” For all the best are to the west Explore I did, it was my task It was my test to reach the west And when I reached my west My east was to my west Where were the rest?

Home is just a point of view Mapped by chain gangs digging for truth Pollenate the drying streets With guitar shard meet-and-greets Just beyond the field of wines To Thorold with trolley lines With the winds to Buffalo Two more hours to go We could fit our wheels here We could rest our fears there Only if you wanted to Strangers with a mangers touch Won't you carry me like a crutch One to run and one to sing They had morphine thoughts to bring With a ramble of the tongue Jumbled sentences to one I was soaked with nothing new Called in a calmness to few Figured we could stay here Whispering in your ear... Knowing, I'm going, I'm over all Only the over is under all Told what you told me, you told me all Once in Niagra to feel it fall

All this time I’ve spoken on spokes Peasant to prose And I can’t keep getting caught In perspectives I want to know In the moments I’m mounting to go If everything turned into feeding the must Love losing longing and loathes as it lusts I can’t believe all the visions are just Delusions I’m choosing to tarnish and rust And I can’t seem to hear it all Wondering, following And I can’t seem to hear at all And every structure that we build Never ends or begins Spent too much time on the walls And I could say it just to save All of this, nothing is Just another second lost Keeping all it was, what it is It was never A feeling more than what it cost No matter how strong you think you are You can’t hide from who you know you are If the past’s a part of life so far Soon you’ll understand the few that are

worth is an amount you make sold the old another selfs mistake lies comprise the trying eyes of fate sleeping before you wake tall is your father's heart mother the rise and start silbing the growing dart falling to make your mark travel to ease the home homeward to please the roam making the planet aum hearing it all alone face to passion falling twice in nights leg stalling and how can we move on? push on, push on push until your dreams are gone pearched on another's glare seeing eternal stare meeting before it's fair wanting to want you there miles compress to one weighing a thousand tons built by a thousand sons ride til the ride is done home in another place all in a timeless race meeting first face to face all in the years of chase letting the letting go nothing is what i owe lying to say it's so everything always shows we are each a piece of each other we give to each other we could be a piece of another's state we could have it all right now if you chose to bother we resonate with the frequencies of our fate we are each a piece of each other we give to each other we could be a piece of another's state we could have it all right now if you chose to bother we resonate with the frequencies of our fate

Lionhorn 03:35
And if you feel it, too I’d make that change And I could write it or ride it I’ve rode and wrote for you And if believing’s through I’d make that change We conversed with burning words And smothered ash I taste Hate’s the hate that eases holding you There’s no logic here, and we know The same doesn’t matter here, if I go There’s no journey here, and I know You won’t need me there, if you go We’re the child of hours We’ve got time telling No crime, bigger than The sound of silence you’ve been yelling I don’t remember much But the smell brings you back to touch Seeing and tasting such Let’s me hear all the want in us.
