Tidal

When I explore the depths of my soul
I know there’s only one thing that I’ll ever know
Immanuel, G d is with me.
Beyond, Beyond there’s a place we can go
I found it when I finally let go
Of everything that I thought that I was.
The doors of Heaven are wide open
But we can’t seem to find a way to stumble in.
We tell ourselves that we’re more willing than ever
But it’s ourselves and our wills that need to change.
We sail the sea, we walk the moon,
But what’s the use?
When there’s an abyss
Separating us
From ourselves.
The doors of Heaven are wide open
But we can’t seem to find a way to stumble in.
We tell ourselves that we’re more willing than ever
But it’s ourselves and our wills that need to change.
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
Can you feel it coming?
I know you can, I know you do.
Ten-thousand oceans of Love
and the damn’s been broken
A tidal wave is chasing you,
It’s chasing you.
It’s chasing you!
The doors of Heaven are wide open
But we can’t seem to find a way to stumble in.
We tell ourselves that we’re more willing than ever
But it’s ourselves and our wills that need to change.
Are you ready for the tidal wave?

Monsters
04:41
|

|
We’ve been running from these monsters
As long as we have really known
If we’d slow down we would discover
They’ve never been there at all.
I know, it can hurt to find out
That really there’s nowhere to go,
But I’ve seen death take men by surprise
Biding their time to come home.
If there is freedom, it surrounds us
It’s not a place that we can go
It’s time to stop running for shelter
It’s time to turn and say hello.
I know, it can hurt to find out
That really there’s nowhere to go,
But I’ve seen death taken men by surprise
Biding their time to come home.
So don’t wait, to embrace this life.
When it gets dark, don’t run away from yourself.
I’m right here, we’re all here in this together,
So don’t be afraid to slow down…

Within Reach
03:42
|
|||
|
Living, breathing, dying
Falling to my knees
And I can feel it all
Happening at once.
The world’s exploding and collapsing
At the same pace
It’s permanently, perfectly undone.
Children laugh and play
A hundred yards away
From any tragedy you could imagine.
Just last night I realized
That we’re all gonna die,
But I just started laughing.
I don’t know what it is anymore,
But it’s alright here and it’s all right in front of me.
I don’t know what it is anymore,
But Everything is within my reach again.
I don’t know what it is anymore,
But it’s alright here and it’s all right in front of me.
I don’t know what it is anymore,
But Everything is within my reach again.

Matter and space and infinity
The black holes and stars and the galaxies
Molecules in the air and the space in between
Grass and herb and the soil and the trees
Birds and their wings and the wind underneath
The breath in our lungs and the sound of the breeze
Color and art and philosophy
Vibrations photons and frequencies
We don’t own anything.
We don’t own a single one of these.
We don’t own anything.
We don’t own a single one of these things!
Cars and clothes and the shoes on our feet
Our tongues and our teeth and the words that we speak
The blood in our veins and the rivers and seas
Paper and pens and opinions we keep
The songs that we sing and the thoughts that we think
The image of G d and all your money
Colors and art and philosophy
Vibrations photons and frequencies
We don’t own anything.
We don’t own a single one of these.
We don’t own anything.
We don’t own a single one of these things!

You Am I
04:04

|
You am I and I am you,
I am I am and you are too
We all need us all to be
Be to all us need all we
She from him and he in she
Separately, inseparably
We’re sharing one reality
That’s sharing one reality
So please just look me in the eyes,
Won’t you tear down that disguise
Won’t you say that I love you
And I will say I love you too.
We can wander deep inside
Where there’s a kingdom we will find
Love is all and all is Love
Nothing below, nothing above.
G d is all, but no such thing
Birds are flying through the trees
And you can take my life from me,
But Love is all I’ll ever need.
So come and go eternity
Stop and fall infinity
Heaven, hell, and in between
These words don’t mean that much to me.

Eucharistia

My friends, please don’t pull your knives out
Honestly, I think I’m gonna sit this one out.
I can tell that they brought bigger guns than last time,
Do you remember what happened last time?
When our fathers tried to take out all the bad guys,
They thought they won but they just stabbed out their own eyes,
I don’t think that they’ll ever be the same.
While you’re at it, won’t you take a look in your Septuagint
Count the kings that came and went inside that book man,
Do you really think that war is the way?
I’ve been thinking of a whole new way of thinking,
I’ve been dreaming ‘bout a whole new kind of kingdom,
But judging by your actions I don’t think you understand.
I’m still gonna tell it to the big man
We all know he’s gonna give my ass a whooping,
But that’s okay cuz it’s the only way I want to be.
My friends, I know this is gonna hurt,
But I guess I have to die to show you how it works
The truth is you don’t know that you don’t know
How lost you are, but you are.
Love is the only revolution,
It’s an undefeated, unconditioned constitution,
And no matter what we do it’s always gonna win.
So consider this the one inauguration
Of the borderless and undivided nation,
A kingdom with no beginning and one that will never end.
I’ve been thinking of a whole new way of thinking,
I’ve been dreaming ‘bout a whole new kind of kingdom,
But judging by your actions I don’t think you understand.
I’m still gonna tell it to the big man
And we all know he’s gonna give my ass a whooping,
But that’s okay cuz it’s the only way I want to be.
My friends, I guess this is Passover
Soon enough you’re gonna know, what it’s worth.
So won’t you drink a glass of wine, when you think about me...
Will you raise it to the sky, to our divinity?
Will you sip it slow and dive into humanity?
Will you lose your lives, to show the world just what they’re worth?

Revolution
04:53
|
|||
|
From this tower I can see
I’ve been waging this war against me
And my guards just took leave
They don’t believe in this king anymore.
But what can I say?
I built this palace, a place I could stay,
I know it’s all in my head,
I’ve been afraid of this wilderness.
So one more look around,
’til all these temples I’ve built come burning down
And I inhabit myself again.
So this is the revolution? Yeah!
I thought it would be me against them,
But it’s all in my head.
So this is the revolution? Yeah!
It’s asking myself who I am
Again and again.
But this ain’t a song anymore…
I’ve been asking for change, but change is a war.
I stormed this castle, I burned the walls,
So all that I’m left with, is my reflection,
Asking,
“WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?”
The one you are looking for is the one who is looking,
The one who is looking is the one you are looking for.
The one you are looking for is the one who is looking!
So this is the revolution? Yeah!
I thought it would be me against them,
But it’s all in my head.
So this is the revolution? Yeah!
It’s asking myself who I am
Again and again.
Welcome to the revolution!
It’s never been us against them…
It’s all in our heads!

Acceleration
05:58
|

|
Accelerating,
Into a spectrum of colors laid out on my floor.
Oh, how each one sings
Of the people, the places, that I’ll never know.
I can only choose one
It kills me to watch all the others dissolve
But I’ll be paralyzed,
If I don’t.
Beauty, terrifies me.
I’m falling in love with a girl I can’t keep.
Time or death will steal her from me
That’s why it’s so hard to tell her what I mean,
When I say it would take my whole life to explain
What it’s like when her heart
holds hands with my brain.
Call it falling in love, call it going insane,
I’m coming to find that they’re one and the same.
They call it falling, but it feels like,
Yeah it feels like,
Acceleration…
I’m still drifting out to sea,
Even with lighthouses surrounding me.
I know it’s safe to come into shore,
But I can’t seem to make up this mind anymore.
I’ll let the wind steal my boat
I’m going blind to this ruder I hold
I could use someone’s help
Gaining control.
Beauty, terrifies me.
I’m falling in love with a girl I can’t keep.
Time or death will steal her from me
That’s why it’s so hard to tell her what I mean,
When I say it would take my whole life to explain
What it’s like when her heart
Holds hands with my brain.
Call it falling in love, call it going insane,
I’m coming to find that they’re one and the same.
They call it falling, but it feels like,
Yeah it feels like,
Acceleration...

Open Fields

I know it’s strange
But I think the pain
Is what I like the most.
The words that we say
When we’re choking back tears
Are just so beautiful.
Sorrow it sings
About all the times
That I held you close.
So I’m happy to say
That it’s gonna kill me,
To let you go.
I just hope that you know,
That wherever you go
There’s gonna be,
So much light.
So just trust what you’re feeling
And don’t be afraid
To run from my side.
A season has passed
And fighting this change
Has been taking its toll.
I still remember when I realized
I’d be letting you go
But I’m coming to find
That all that’s divine,
Time could never behold.
That saying goodbye,
Is just a reflection
That we said hello.
I just hope that you know
Wherever you go,
There’s gonna be
So much light.
Just trust what you’re feeling
And don’t be afraid
To run from my side.
I’ll be so happy
For this whole world
Just to know you’re alive
Just lease take these songs when you go
If it’s tomorrow or the day that we die.

Hollow
05:45
|

G d You always give
As much as I can let go
So I’ll spend all my time
Learning how to lose it all.
I will keep my eyes
Wide open.
I will make this heart of mine
Hollow for You.
When I finally let go of everything
You’ll take it all.
When I step off the edge of my mind
You’ll catch my fall.
Now you’re making a place for me
I’m learning how to be
I’ve never felt so safe
Or surrounded by Mystery.
I’ll show You all my maps
Please, will You tear them up?
I’ve been trying to get back
To where I started from.
Before I had this plan
To make up who I was
Before I was afraid
To leave this heart undone.
My brain matter turns into sand
It slips through my teeth into the palms of my hands
Falls through my fingers and onto the floor
Where Your wind and Your waves take it back to Your shore.
I lost my logic to the birds in the trees
It blew away with the leaves in Your breeze
’til there was nothing left of me.
You are all I’ll ever need.
