Gift of the Morrow

Contact, shift, and shake it off
Time slows to a drip
Up and down, inside the black
He's on an endless, sprawling forever trip
He bought the gift and opened his case
She shed her locks and laid her down
A gold watch gone, out into space
Its chain back here on the ground
Such a premium on love
From a million miles above
Two foolish children in a flat
Tearful reunion back home on the earth
A forty-year missing frame
Weathered and gray meets exactly the same
Such a premium on love
From a million miles above
Two foolish children in a flat
Sit back, smile, and laugh it off
They’ll never get out of this
They had the best intentions
Now they’re living in different dimensions

This Man

Baby, you need to wake up
So I can tell you this strange dream
I met this man who helped me
He had the answers to everything
Wonder who could he be?
This man who appeared to me?
What do you think that it means?
Baby, now get this
I was talking to Amy
She’s been having the same dream
She sees the same man that I see
Now it’s happening all over
Millions of people have seen him
What’s he trying to tell us
By entering our dreaming?
Wonder who could he be?
This man who appears to me?
What do you think that he means?
I’m going to sleep now
And I hope that he’s not there
‘Cause I don’t know what he is
Maybe these dreams are nightmares
Maybe he’s the face of God

Generationship

Every night my heart sleeps in a little green room
As I check in on you, I think of all that you’ll do
I hear the gentle hum
Of things that keep you safe and warm
The only thing that matters now is taking care of you
You’ll be the one
To feel the sun on your face
You’ll be the one
To finally leave this place
And I’m just here to guide you
You’ll leave me here behind you
You’ll be the history maker
And I’m just the last caretaker
Every night my heart sleeps in a little green room
As I check in on you, I think of all that you’ll do
I hear the gentle hum
Of things that keep you safe and warm
As we rocket toward destiny, you are the best of me
And when you arrive
You’ll have a world to build
And when you arrive
You’ll go where I never will
And I’m just here to guide you
You’ll leave me here behind you
You’ll be the history maker
And I’m just the last caretaker
This journey started centuries before I was born
And I thought that you would be stuck in the middle too
But you’re going on, after I’m gone

Mysteries of History
02:00
|
|||
|
Researching and searching records of the past
Proof that I’m neither the first nor the last
Hour after hour, lost in names and dates
Learning of the mysteries of history
The pull to the ocean, back ‘cross the sea
Ancestral journey, reversed by me
Crossing the waters and the generations
Lured by the mysteries of history
Centuries’ homecoming, stories and a smile
Kindred spirits, across the miles
The world seems smaller and larger too
Solving the mysteries of history

I Stop the Music
02:57
|
|||
|
A broken conduit
An open circuit
Everything goes into it
But nothing comes out of it
I can analyze, catalog, organize, dialogue
But I can’t make it for myself
I am a wall
I stop the music
It’s stored inside of me
A charged battery
But for some reason
I can’t make a connection
I can try my best, fight it out, make a mess, write it out
But not as good as someone else
I am a wall
I stop the music
Can’t flow through me
I stop the music
Unlike the greats
Throughout history
I can soak it up
But can’t pour it out of me
What ought to be
A great tapestry
Cones out instead
Tattered, frayed and threadbare
I’ve got scribbled notes, sing-alongs, tired throat, crappy songs
But they’re just sitting on my shelf
I am a wall
I stop the music
Can’t flow through me
I stop the music
I am a wall
I stop the music
Can’t flow through me
I stop the music
