All you had known was industrial life
So bring me back a story
From your mid-winter hermit journey
I now know where I end
And where you begin
And where our probiotic edges connect
I’m building myself up to have more to offer to the land and to the water
I’m building my songs to have something left to pass on down to you
In the midst of the industrial debris
So we open our doors
And walk right inside
I see the Buddhist altar
I was brought to by my grandmother
At the age of four
I knew what I was
It was the forces around me
That had me forgetting
But now I remember
It was always at the tip of my tongue
So now it’s your turn to remember
The wisdom you had when you were young
I know you remember
I taste it on the tip of your tongue
So now we both can remember
The wisdom we had when we were young

I sleep on wooden floors
And hide behind closet doors
You clipped my dragon wings feather by feather
Now I’m stuck here talking to your ghost
They thought I was talking to the wall
I guess they weren’t totally wrong
Cause even on the other side you don’t listen
Then one night the archangel came down and kissed my forehead
To deliver the news that even on the other side you were dead
Cause you’d turned into a bug
I always knew that it was you
who had been sucking my blood
My blood

We wear the ocean on our feet
As barnacles grow on our soles
Just like how you’re growing on me
We bend each others’ realities
(We bend each others’ realities)
The words we carry are so freaking heavy
Is that why our backs are always sore?
I’m feeling something pungent and spicy
It felt simultaneously
familiar and new
It tickles me to my core
You’re a warmth I can’t ignore
Anymore
The yuppie dog walkers and business men
on their 50 dollar lunch breaks
leave me alone
(Leave me alone!!!)
As I walk up to the waves in the rain, in the rain
To soak up the truth in the rain, in the rain
Yeah, I spent the day at the beach in the rain, in the rain
It had been a long time since I felt that free in the rain, in the rain
In the rain, in the rain…
We wear the ocean on our feet
We wear the ocean on our feet

I’m not here, I’m not here anymore
I’m not here
I’m not here, I’m not here anymore
I’m not here
I’ve got owl eyes, I’ve got owl eyes
I’ve got owl eyes, I’ve got owl eyes
Play me your songs to bring me back
Cause I’m not here, I’m not here anymore
I’m not here
I’m not here, I’m not here anymore
I’m not here
I’ve got owl eyes, I’ve got owl eyes
I’ve got owl eyes, I’ve got owl eyes

Lao Tzu always watched over me
He was hidden in the paintings with the moving eyes
He taught me how to read the synchronicities
Do you hear him laughing with us
Do you hear him laughing with us
I walk around these crowded streets
And all I see are beings from ancient folks stories
Don’t make eye contact
Orelse you’ll know more than you want to
Orelse you’ll know more than you want to
Which purgatory did you spend the past 10 years in
Oh, good to see you, my old friend in this new hellish heaven
We’ve died so many times, we’ve gotten so good at it
And we always manage to find each other again
Oh, good to see you, my old friend
Oh, good to see you, my old friend
Oh, good to see you, my old friend
Oh, good to see you, my old friend
