Chopping Wood
Chopping wood
Feed the Fire
Chopping Wood
Fuel entirely
Something stronger than you
Less forgiving than you
More reckless than you
But you don’t stop
And you don’t know why
(It’s a) state of compulsive mind
Chopping wood
Feed the fire
Chopping wood
It burns entirely
Hungrier than you
But it rages like you
It’s darker than you
So full of light
And you don’t know why
(It’s a) state of compulsive mind
Chopping wood
Wiping sawdust from your eyes
Looking up
Raining splinters from the sky
Hunting with an absent mind
Burn yourself alive
It’s all you’ve ever lived by
Now you’re over-exposed and blind
It’s a state of, a state of
It’s a state of compulsive mind
There’s a mystery in the flames
There’s an urge you can’t explain
It crackles and burns
Soothes the rain
But there’s a peace in the dark
And the beauty of stars
Abundance reborn
The freshness of dawn
Walk away from the eclipsing light
That leaves you living in the shadows of your own life
Start building from the ground up x 4
Chopping wood
Dance with fire
Chopping wood
Taming dragons
Chopping wood x 3
It’s a passion for fuel
Curious for truth
Inspiring renew
You know why
It’s a passion for fuel
Curious for truth
Inspiring renew
You know why
You know why
Its state of, a state of,
It’s a state of compulsive mind

Sun Shines Under Water

Talk it over
Splashing around
Transcending
Condescending
Diving down
Break/hit the surface with a sting
Keep on spinning, spinning
Infinite beginnings
(It comes around)
I was craving the sun
Rejected the summer
Sheltered in rainfall
Warm in thunder
Bathed in silence
Suspended in sound
Inhaling stars
There was nowhere to drown
But it comes around
Diving down
The Sun shines under water
It feels like heads chasing tails chasing tails chasing tails x2
It comes around
Effervescent sound
Hunting treasures
Breaking walls
Running circles all alone
Digging deeper, finding bones
Striking wisdom building pearls
And It come it comes it comes around
Sun shines under water….
It feels like heads chasing tales chasing heads chasing tales
I like to curl up
And self heal
Find peace of mind
In something real

Woollen Hearts

Woollen Hearts
Fraying woollen hearts
Tightly wound in parts
Comfort curling
Convoluted beauty yearning
Patching worn out holes
Freezing out the cold
Embryo
Yet to learn, yet to grow
Unpicking woollen hearts
Pulling seams apart
Slowly teasing
Release, release, release the feeling
Unravel simple things
Softly dropping stitches
Scars
Stars
Shining lights to where you are
CHORUS
Faded woollen hearts
Apprehensive hearts
Shedding skin
Inch by inch to new beginnings
Tiny giants swell
Glowing brighter than the
stars
Scars
Shining lights to where you are
Chorus
One big hill
Towers over you
Digging tunnels through
You want to lay down
One big hill
Grows in you
Digging tunnels through
You can see the sun.
Mid
Pulsing muffled beats
Footsteps with bandaged feet
Drifting deeply back to sleep
Wake up ……x2
