Paint our ivory bones paint our ivory bones paint our ivory bones a scarlet red Decorate our skulls decorate our skulls celebrate our skulls with gold and gems Wild, dancing, mad and naked I touched a lions nose to know where I stood Felt the change teeth become tusk new names tonight With our neon crowns with our neon crowns well stop this ground with our neon crowns around our heads And if the sky should steal our breath but blows a wind back in our steps well take it Coverd in dust with lustful songs in our hearts felt the change teeth become tusk new names tonight Keep me always in this light Gleaming,yellow,gold and white

Spirit or Something (free) 04:14
The softest glow that burns above these branches I know I need to chase this formless and faceless Your just in time And we both know something the other doesnt The shape well be making the color well be tasting Your hand is mine SPIRIT! Is this my shadow or your sillouette eyes of the same face blood of the same veins we move in time Is this a phantom or a feeling Whispers when im dreaming hums when im singing your voice is mine SPIRIT! Trade with me now Speak thru my mouth Your eyes are my eyes and eyes of the clouds I swallowed your rain and i spit your storm out hands are the hands where the branches reach out Into the wind, to the wind, to a howl I AM TOO Walking and talking in more ways than one Leap up and lept out now the leave the ground to run This voice holds a thunder on the tounge Taking the shape of the name you gave up I AM TOO Speak thru my mouth I swallowed your rain and I spit your storm out Taking the shape of the name you gave up I WANT TO

Wind or Hymn 03:32
We can swim this sound we can swim this sound we can swim this sound unfound, unfamiliar Eyes to the shore arms at the ready and were hearing theres something singing with these tides So to the rocks that call us ou there that charm us on her waves of combed hair On and on, crash or connect Wind or hymn follow that song With our backs to the town our hands pointed out our feet leave the ground we dive out to something Calls from the walls The cliffs sing a chorus and im swimming to the shape with shells and blue eyes When we meet well sleep forever underneath with buried treasure she pulls me out just in time and then she says with her eyes upon mine Heres a song you wont forget! Crashing for kisses sunken and shipwrecked on a sea bed forever were new homes for fishes But I wont wonder why Cause I know Your words wanted me And I dont regret anything A song you wont forget

I followed tracks you made thru cities woods and lakes The scent you leave needs me to chase The flower trail you laid poison purple shades you led me to quiet traps but you said something! Im calling out your name singing bird of prey You kept me the purest pet you led me to silent traps But you said something! So keep me with the tigers that you taught P U R E and keep me with gentle wolves you trapped P U R E And you said something! Meet me underneath the leaves offerings of a dream wait how lost can we get from up there how lost? Climbing up out the trees offerings of a dream wait how far are we off of the ground Its gone.....

Whippoorwill 01:13
Wait lets stay awhile and warm our bones beside this fire Stained glass and windowsills In a fortress of sorts weve wandered in at the same time and we know what waits outside Gazing watchful eyes Patient and perched atop the pines A singing whipporwill In a song calling out both of our names we close our eyes and then we hum the notes
6.
There is no point to plan To hold that voice inside your hand And when released well leave our heads back in beds sleeping guests rise to rest Well walk around too soft too loud Hand in hand all new again This shape were in A boat for wind To sail along our closed eyelids And im too small to be found Much too tall to far from the ground Leaping in, leaping out Of size somehow Repeat the sound Forgot and found Well meet in sleep too lost to keep This shape were in A boat for wind To sail along our closed eyelids All that I know is I wanted to stay Eyes closed and falling around your landscape And with my hands out open fell off your edge

2's or 4's 03:43
Ive been waiting on the hour with my ear to ground For a hundred eyes of a storming herd to meet mine With my hands on the hides taken in with the stride Now one with the pulse Im running for the first time Looking back I know you saw me Running aimlessly and calling Hey! Im not a wolf, Im not a man and I dont know just how to stand On 2s or 4s, on 2s or 4s Im not all theirs and im not all yours With the animals Lifted off of the land Grabbed a wing with my hand Taken over the trees Goodbye to the green beneath Now im letting it go Let me drift with the flow To the sea I crash Just passing thru I guesss Underneath I can see you calling The moon shines thru And im still howling Im not a wolf, Im not a man And I dont know just how to stand On 2’s or 4’s, on 2’s or 4’s Im not all theirs and im not all yours With the animals These are just places and things that someday Id love to be Some ive never known before Some I know all to well I find them and they find me And I could always be this way One to pass thru and one to stay Sleeping on a mountain top Or laying in an open shell Some Ive never known before Some I know all to well

Feel Animal 03:36
Sleeping in the warmth of the sun Waiting for the moonlight The whisper of the wind wakes me up and Im leaving that shape behind I feel animal Hiding in the trees my green eyes shine Lost myself in leaves and ivy Digging in the dirt Running just to run My hyacinth hearts bloomed tonight I feel animal Wait, ill show you All youll need to know Well wash our hands in waterfalls Then youll give birth to butterflies A bird will sing A wolf replies I feel animal
10.
Open eyes open hands lips of words Taste the salt of your sea and remind me of home Im your minerals Ships of skin sink or swim water learns when to keep you beneath or show you to shore Hands upon you hands underneath you Calm collects me With this drift were heading on and on An ivory moon A turqoise tidal wave Block the tide with our beds drifting off I dont know I just dont know where the tide goes Shiney scales diamond teeth swallowed whole Taken under the waves dissolved and released Im your minerals Be my minerals Calm collects me With this drift were heading on and on An ivory moon A turqoise tidal wave Underneath in coral reefs our particles swim the sea They turn into currents and tides And here beneath the light will gleam off shiney scales of new skin and well offer the moon this tuqoise tidal wave Calm collects me with this drift were heading on and on An ivory moon A turqoise tidal wave

Segue 01:48
In the morning light I call out your name But you dont reply and you dont arrive and the day turns out the same I thought last night I saw you walking with the wind tapping on my window and you said Its alright Ive replied every time You moved in front of me...
12.
April rain the showers came puddles in holes where we stood Were not there but in our place theres traces of a new bloom I dont know when or where But we both disappeared You there and me here A flag to raise you carved your name into the side of the moon Fossil clouds familiar shapes of a face that could only be you I dont know when or where But we both disappeared you there and me here Out from the ground down from the sky your over there while im over here On either side I love you so but your over there while im over here...
