Lyrics

Dreamer, are you awake? Sleepin’ in, you’ll miss the whole day. 

“Mind over body” in my mouth. Strange, unnatural was the sound. 

Opaque, black lenses that I fashioned. Deep, dark garments to hide what happened. 

Spend the days with eyes glazed over, the days are too blasé to matter. Dreamer are you awake?

A lucid baby coming in and out. Those creature comforts won’t soothe you now. 

Slippin’ deep in to steep. Step lightly out of your own deep. 

Opaque, black lenses that I fashioned. Deep, dark garments to hide what happened. 

Spend the days with eyes glazed over, the days were too blasé to matter. Dreamer are you awake?

In my make-believe world where everything is alright there’s peace, freedom reigns and everyone lives in harmony.

I know that our world is not that yet.

Yet I know that light shines within each of us and we must wake up from this dream that has been given to us.

Wake up, wake up, wakeup. 

Pink, plastic clouds in sky. Stuck on the ceiling in sticky paper like a fly. 

The forecast says only rainbows for tonight. Nestled under the mountain – goodnight. Dreamer are you awake? 

I’m out of orbit, pulled tight elastic, out grown my shell

I’m waxing moonlight, pulled skin tight, down to my cells

I might be breaking, standing up in the egg this I’ve been grow 

Shedding this skin, pull me up in a new birth to crone

I’m breaking down, I’m tearing down

Those old walls that held me in, they’re falling down 

I’m breaking down, I’m tearing down

Those old walls that held me in, they’re falling down

I was warm in, folded up in my plastic heart

Now feel the walls all closed around me, need to outsmart

I’m a good girl, please and thank you, I’m covered in chrome

I’ll be leaving next tomorrow, breakin’ in my bones

I’m breaking down, I’m tearing down

Those old walls that held me in, they’re falling down 

I’m breaking down, I’m tearing down

Those old walls that held me in, they’re falling down

I remember throwing hands to the air 

Saying Mother Music please take me home. 

I have no money to pay for a flight 

If I could I’d bring myself on home tonight, but I’m here for now

I’m out of orbit, pulled tight elastic, out grown my shell

I’m waxing moonlight, pulled skin tight, down to my cells

I might be breaking, standing up in the egg this I’ve been grow 

Shedding this skin, pull me up in a new birth to crone

I’m breaking down, I’m tearing down

Those old walls that held me in, they’re falling down 

I’m tearing down, I’m breaking down

Those old walls that held me in, they’re falling down

They’re falling down

They’re falling down

Those old walls that held me in

They’re falling down

Where we live, there’s many stories of faces we pass but don’t know

Living in cities can be cold if you’re just a pebble starting to roll

How can we live by just smoothing over the dance that is life?

That’s not your default, nor your birth right when you fell from the heavens to live out this life.

Move the mountain out from behind the city 

Drop the seeds of human nature back in our mouths     

Flow with water round the island 

And let’s come back on home to ourselves

I see you, do you see me too? I see you, do you see me too?

Who is the one that tells stories of the shapes that we can take and live out

Do you believe in the record of your journey or do you close your eyes and numb the spout

We don’t have to live by just smoothing over the dance that is life. 

That’s not your default, nor your birth right when you fell from the heavens to live out this life. 

Move the mountain out from behind the city 

Drop the seeds of human nature back in our mouths     

Flow with water round the island 

And let’s come back on home to ourselves

I see you, do you see me too? I see you, do you see me too?

Oh I see you.

The chains around your neck are loose, bands may be round your body made to seduce you.          

But there’s a choice with each breath that you take, it’s a gift.

Move the mountain from behind the city 

To remind us of the nature of ourselves  

Flow with water ’round the island 

Let’s come back on home to ourselves

Let’s come back on home to ourselves

Let’s come back on home to ourselves

Move the mountain out from behind the city 

Drop seeds of human nature back in our mouths     

Flow with water round the island 

And let’s come back on home to ourselves

Move the mountain out from behind the city 

Drop seeds of human nature back in our mouths     

Flow with water round the island 

And let’s come back on home to ourselves

I see you, do you see me too? I see you, do you see me too?

Are you relearning too?

In the last stall on the end

With the last push she slid out in

To our world, Annalee To our world, Annalee

She finds her feet in the quiet of her mind and in between the three realms

She feels the waters in your words

Don’t do it, lies ring like bells               

She walks the waves and breathes the sea and in between the tide swells 

She feels the waters in your words

Don’t do it, lies ring like bells 

Lies, lies Lies, lies

Oh Annalee she looks up to the stars to speak with her mother Moon

Oh Annalee she shades her gaze from her father’s rays every Sunday 

Sea lady please grant me a wish: I just wanna go home 

She feels the thunder in my words

Don’t do it, cries ring like bells

A foot in sea, and one on land, she is the angelic form

She feels the thunder in your words

Don’t do it, cries ring like bells

Cries, cries Cries, cries

Oh Annalee she looks up to the stars to speak with her mother Moon

Oh Annalee she shades her gaze from her father’s rays every Sunday 

I’m not calling you a liar

Can you get wet by the word water

I’m not calling you a liar

Can you get wet by the word water

Can you get wet by the word water

First breath she didn’t cry when she stepped down from the stars

A fresh new light burned inside this new child of ours

First breath she didn’t cry when she stepped down from the stars

A fresh new light burned inside this new child of ours

Lies, lies Lies, lies

Oh Annalee she looks up to the stars to speak with her mother Moon

Oh Annalee she shades her gaze from her father’s rays every Sunday 

I’m not calling you a liar

Can you get wet by the word water

I’m not calling you a liar

Can you get wet by the word water

I’m not calling you a liar

Simple days aren’t cause for much reflection

In the mirror where I saw you dressin’

You were so beautiful that my eyes just saw stars

The light coming through our window with the tension of Venus and Mars

And with that, the day was ours

Pickin’ up the daily news to see 

Countries fighting with homes in ruins

Those lines on a map don’t mean much

We’re not so divided as it would seem 

Coming back to the heart need not be a dream

Wake up the angels cry in the ears of those men

That’s where we’re at, born-again

Simple days aren’t cause for much reaction

In the web of our lives we seek satisfaction

If we direct our desires to the good of all men

Loving our neighbours will generate a fuel that can’t end

It is this connection that we all come from

And until then, you’re my Sun 

If you ever question, the care I’ve for you dear 

I’d invite you to come sit near

So I may kiss you from those hands to your ears

For what a joy to hold you so close, it’s a gift that I revere  

And if I had to leave you without question

In our mirror you’d find my whole confession 

With a poem that would illustrate how you light up this world 

With a kiss on the bottom, you wouldn’t worry ‘cause I’m your girl

I’d carry your light with me to give people their flowers

Sharing this love brings us back to the Moon and the stars 

Sharing this love brings us back to the Moon and the stars 

Sharing this love brings us back to the Moon and the stars 

Sharing this love brings us back to the Moon and the stars 

Sharing this love brings us back to the Moon and the stars 

And with that, the day was ours

Oh, Sweet little bird don’t fly away, what if I asked you to stay?

Sweet little bird what’s your name? Are you going home, do you stay out late?

Sweet little bird what’s your name? Do you sing in the rain looking for someone like you, your same?

Do you just wanna say:

Sweet little bird don’t fly away, if I asked you would you stay?

Sweet little bird what’s your name? Sing me a song, just stay out late.

Sweet, sweet little bird don’t you leave it’s not too late.

Sweet little bird won’t you stay.

Is your belly full of that shit? And is your mind made up?
Are you flooded? Do you feel?
Do you recognize your symptoms?
Do you recognize your symptoms?

You pay the bills, but are you feeling? You lowered your vibration.
Where’s your senses? Have you lost them?
You numbed you from the inside out.

You’re still wading in all your comforts. It’s gonna make you sick.
You’re still waiting for love to save you. It’s gonna make you sick.

It’s in your house, it’s in your body.
Can you say no? Next.
Are you breathing? Have you been living?
Do you recognize your symptoms?
Do you recognize your symptoms?

You’re still wading in all your comforts. It’s gonna make you sick.
You’re still waiting for love to save you. You’re gonna miss that step.

Are you special? Yeah, one of a kind.
Will you take the weight off of my mind?
Are you dreaming? Are you leaving?
Do you recognize your symptoms?
Do you recognize your symptoms?
Do you recognize your symptoms?

Floating under water.
Looking up from under.
Is this what you wanted from me?
You’re so sweet like royalty.
Precision to your incision.

Feelings leak in.
Feel like I’ve found home again.
Old memories live alongside what could be my double life.
They take up space…

in my living room, in my bed, down from a spinning fan, in a camera’s shutter lens, in the tea I sip, on the bookshelf from when I was child, in my mind’s eye, in the dazes I fall in hoping that time will go by.

I am hazy my eyes deceive me, my room moves like waves in the sea.
I am sober but I am lonely I reach for feeling, feeling, feeling.

I’m always reaching for solitude.
An excuse to close my eyes.
Always strange how the truth hangs so heavy.
Grieve the memories that live alongside.
Floating under the water in time.
Floating under the water.
