I open my nose
I open my nose
Taking in drops of water
Floating upwards
How does it feel
How does it feel
Like the moon during the daytime
Drinking everything
What does it taste like
What does it taste like
A cheesecake with berries
Spread across the garden
How is it
How is it
How is it
How is it
Like energy
Sleeps
How is it
How is it
Like energy
Sleeps
Like energy
Sleeps
Like energy

You won’t be in this moment forever

You won’t be in this moment forever
I’ll be sure of that

Curtains Drawn

I want to breathe laughs
And speak in hugs
It’s true
And when you ask
What I’m thinking of
It’s you
Cause you’re the one I wanna see when the curtains are drawn
You’re the one I wanna be with when life goes on
We’ll walk to a car after the venue
And then to another car after that
It doesn’t matter where we head off to
With love in our ears on a friendly path
Cause you’re the one I wanna see when the curtains are drawn
You’re the one I wanna be with when life goes on
Yeah, you’re the one I wanna see when the curtains are drawn
You’re the one I wanna be with when life goes on
When life goes on
When life goes on

This Little Garden

Words are like words when you chew em
Thunder is a thought unsaid
Roots rise from the earth sometimes
Strings can sing you to sleep
Yesterday we went out to the garden
And we’re struck by the world in our head
Birds, branches, breezes of all kinds
In the earth’s dirt where they keep
This little garden will take hold
This little garden will be our home
This little garden will take hold
This little garden will be our home
It’s just below the ground that we walk on
But you gotta kneel down to work
Sounds may free it from the soil
Compassion will live forever then
Demons will say it is all gone
Even though love is part of our lore
All of it is worth all the toils
With this garden, there’s no end
This little garden will be full
This little garden is our shared soul
This little garden will be full
This little garden is our shared soul
