Summer, Summer

(It's summer, summer)
Holding a lone
Butterfly in the sunlit breeze
Drowning the drone
Of crickets out and the swaying trees
Greyer days have worn me out
Sadder days have always been
I hope to see the golden straw
And whiter dresses and opal greens
Where'd all the raindrops go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the cool air go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the warm hugs go?
It's summer, summer
Where did all my love go?
It's summer, summer
Buried my feet
In overgrown grass no one has seen
Rippling water
Parched and dry and brown obscene
Truly a picturesque scene
But one that’s sorely incomplete
I dream the day I drop my gaze
And next to me a pair of feet
Where'd all the raindrops go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the cool air go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the warm hugs go?
It's summer, summer
Where did all my love go?
It's summer, summer
(It's summer, summer)
Where'd all the raindrops go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the cool air go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the warm hugs go?
It's summer, summer
Where did all my love go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the raindrops go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the cool air go?
It's summer, summer
Where'd all the warm hugs go?
It's summer, summer
Where did all my love go?
It's summer, summertime

Lady Luck
06:00
|
|
||
Throw the second die
And it comes up snake eyes
One step forward two steps back
Am I making progress?
Stunted shift am I
Want to barrel outright
But now I'm left to bite the dust
And it isn't my fault
Come on Lady Luck
Throw my dice upright
Come on Lady Luck
Make everything alright
Once I understand
Euclids and arithmetic
Just wanna live my life
Bar looking behind
Roll the second die
Once again it's snake eyes
Why can't I just go on ahead?
Why'm I lagging behind?
Come on Lady Luck
Throw my dice upright
Come on Lady Luck
Make everything alright
Come on Lady Luck
Throw my dice upright
Come on Lady Luck
Make everything alright
And the trees still grow
Into skies tomorrow
Life treads on and on
I'm just holding on
People die each day
While I lazily lay
Singing songs of joy
Singing songs of sorrow
Intermission play
Stolen as I stay
Water's going gray
Skin'll start to fray
I just can't grow young
Too afraid to be stung
I'm just growing old
Sitting growing mould
Yet I cannot hate
What's decided by fate
Another message sent
Another to resent
A rain refused to fall
It's useless after all
Life's yet to begin
Death's on the horizon

The Wind Like Peppermint
04:06
|
|
||
I can see
The canopy of trees
Riding high with the breeze
Wishing you'd join me
I can see
The mountains as they breathe
Salty spray of the sea
As the ocean waves heave
Stick with me like bubblegum
Her breath the wind like peppermint
I can see
With emerald eyes free
Hair-feathers dancing glee
The goddess a lady
I can see
The grass-tickled prairie
I see myself twenty-three
Wondering why must I be?
Stick with me like bubblegum
Her breath the wind like peppermint
Stick with me like bubblegum
Her breath the wind like peppermint
Stick with me like bubblegum
Her breath the wind like peppermint
Stick with me like bubblegum
Her breath the wind like peppermint

Pinch Me, I'm a Dreamer
07:23

|

Pinch me, I'm a dreamer
Life unreal
You're a brand new colour
Brand new feel
Falling by the wayside
I let go
Swallowed by rising tides
To and fro
Violet,
We are sinking into
Uncharted waters
How exciting
Violent,
The ocean's breaking
Our skin
The thrill
Pinch me, I'm a dreamer
Life unreal
You're a brand new colour
Brand new feel
Shifting through the foldings
Of reality
There's a guiding hand
Reaching me
Violet,
We are sinking into
Uncharted waters
How exciting
Violent,
The ocean's breaking
Our skin
The thrill
Violet,
We are sinking into
Uncharted waters
How exciting
Violent,
The ocean's breaking
Our skin
The thrill

(A chime rings
The school days are ending
Time sings
Perception is bending)
(Forest blinks
In and out of existence
Flowering
A bright optimism)
A chime rings
The school days are ending
Time sings
Perception is bending
Forest blinks
In and out of existence
Flowering
A bright optimism
Moon's face
Smiles down in accepting
Flying
The stars give assistance
Emily
For what it could be worth
A hybrid girl
A hybrid dream
-
I'm in a pinch
Cemented dreams
Life's just not what I
Want it to be
I could carry
The weight of earth
But I can't manage
The weight of thought
Married to disasters
That drift away
All in proportion
It's rather small
Knocked out in moonlight
Sweat all starry
Waiting for angels
To brainwash me
-
Pinch me, I'm a dreamer
Life unreal
You're a brand new colour
Brand new feel
Falling by the wayside
I let go
Swallowed by rising tides
To and fro

Doofa
03:33
|
|
||
Bark at the pie in the sky
Can't fit through to get inside
Soul in the dark brown eye
So pure in dark stained tides
Face in the biscuit mound
Pick and choose your favourite one
Loudly a crunching sound
I wonder if digesting's fun?
Doofa's getting obese
But that's okay, I love her anyway
Fat rolls
Doofa's getting old now
But she still gives me all my energy
Stomach as vast as the sky
Desperate for food inside
Nudging until they die
Just to get a single bite
Stealthy like ninjas at night
With her nose she hunts the smell
Taking what's not her right
And she hides it so no one can tell
Doofa's getting obese
But that's okay, I love her anyway
Fat rolls
Doofa's getting old now
But she still gives me all my energy
Sing Doofa a lullaby
Tuck her in really tight
Hear her chainsaw snore
Hug her once, say goodnight

Morning Ice Break
02:24
|
|
||
Wonder what would I be?
Without my morning Ice Break in me
A Brandon but less coffee
Would probably be dark shadowy
Wake up feel all groggy
Without my morning Ice Break in me
The sun just sucks energy
And raindrops are immensely heavy
Stomach's feeling lonely
Without my morning Ice Break in me
A diet made less healthy
A bank account made much less wealthy
Wonder where could it be?
Where the fuck's my Ice Break? Don't keep it from me!
A Brandon made more grumpy
I think I've found the madness in me

The Firefly Lit Sky
03:51
|
|
||
Under the firefly lit sky a
Glittering dew amber red I
Let go of all of my earthly worries
Let go of all my anxieties
Under the firefly lit sky a
Glittering dew amber red I
Sought after my brand new horizon
Sought after my life to rapidly wizen
Brilliant embers fall from above
Showering stars and bathing moonlight
Wrapped in feathers of the white dove
The cold's teeth cannot reach for a bite
Impervious to cruel mother nature
Meteorites have nothing on me
Extinction is within my future
But hope is blinding, it's all I see

Electric Sheep
02:51
|
|
||
In between the attic
Dust dances a panic
Brainwaves start to fall
Away into the violet
Blanketed in moonlight
Kissed and hugged by the night
Say that everything's
Okay, my little violet
In between the attic
Dust dances a panic
Brainwaves start to fall
Away into the violet
Blanketed in moonlight
Kissed and hugged by the night
Say that everything's
Okay, my little violet

Coral Reef
08:43
|
|

The star gently shapes our brain
Moonlight comes out, we save her
Flowers bloom and die in vain
Wet feet of night patter stir
Pair of eyes glowing dark
Teeth are snarled at the mark
Blood falling all like rain
Some skull swirling down drains
The star gently shapes our brain
Moonlight comes out, we save her
Flowers bloom and die in vain
Wet feet of night patter stir
Limp like voodoo doll
Pierced again with sequins
I don't want any part of
The birth death sequence
The hunger settles in fight or flight
The very air bites into night
Lost again neck deep in snow
Underwater frozen over
Sinking down the blue abyss
I'm taken over fishes kiss
Marine life one of us
Mermaid songs I'm wide awake
Her beauty is like coral reefs
Her eyes are red and hair is bleached
Wrinkled underneath the brow
Playing underwater bow
Look above the lurking moon
Shining down the cold lagoon
Dressed in seaweed nothing else
I'm left here my heart to melt

Little Leaf
03:20
|
|
||
Soft rainy glow
Creature wake to the morrow
Little leaf
Drift on puddle like the sea
Animal sounds
The dew clings to ground
Sing your swansong
So long
When darkness washed o'er you
Watched your warmth grow cold
Returned to the soil
Soft rainy glow
Creature wake to the morrow
Little leaf
Drift on puddle like the sea
Animal sounds
The dew clings to ground
Sing your swansong
So long
