lyrics

the lake was as big as an ocean
an ocean of my fears
the mountains rise clouds in my eyes
I brought myself out here

hear the hum of hummingbird wings
The call of everything
My heart’s elephant-sized with love of life
But in the dark its too loud loud loud loud

In the day I am fine to be floating the line
Above and below the water
A shallow dive is no less a try
To see underneath you don’t have to go deep

when the water’s this clear
If you look down once you could fall through
But that’s not what I want to do
That’s not what I want to do


Every day becomes night sure as rain is right
That’s when I want you here
When the sky eats up all of the light
I want that to feel blanket-like


But my bare-eyed view only lets through
A few thousand pinpricks whispering blue
While the rest of the black takes me all the way back
With a space echo hum of the universe drums

ba-dum-ba OOOOO ba-dum-ba OOOOO
ba-dum-ba OOOOO ba-dum-ba OOOOO


In a vacuum void of any dreams I’ve dreamed
I can’t lay myself down under this feeling
I stare and stare and wait for things
With the goldenrod and the pines and rocks
