Old Soup

Depth Charge 02:40
it was always wrong of me to assume the haunting's had ended. just because the sage was burned and the holy water was dry. it makes no difference if you don't have the faith in the difference they make if you wanna be healed you are healed. tie your ghost to the stones, and drop them one by one like depth charges in the sea. don't hold on. let me look at your hands. don't hold on. let me kiss the rope burn.
2.
At Ease 02:24
currents are turning, the beginning is returning. you wonder why I need a distraction? when every human reaction is a self center action... have mercy on me, i want to be at ease. i want to be at peace. i want my desires to be erased. like a hand in the water, disrupting the image of my face. have mercy on me, i want to be at ease. i want to be at peace.

laying in the back of the wagon (no belt restraining your dreams), looking at the stars fading. dreaming of the mist to come. out of the mist, comes a super hand. but is it just a man? out of the falls, comes a man, but do you take his hand? don't feed the squirrels, and dream the whole way home. heaven in the back seat of the wagon. looking out the window at niagra falls.
4.
Secret Cell 02:00
soft rain is falling on cut stones, a river into the unknown. the moss and the roots are hymns and thrones. and the pines twisting behind us, means they will never find us. is there more? than grocery stores? you are the place, the infinite space. you are the place, the infinite space.

Forest Echo 03:13
five days a week my ship lands, on the coral reef, or on the sand. the stress and the debt, are draggin' like a heavy net... i'll say your name, and you'll say mine, and maybe someone out there will find us. i'll say your name, and you'll say mine, and maybe someone out there will find us.

me and the girls are watching the night. talking about the moon landing. little one on my knee. big sister climbing a tree. put a blanket on the snow. cuddled up warm I let my children know. we can never know all the mysteries, how love is our decoder ring among the misery.
7.
hi-ho its off to work we go... in the mountain we will find all the things that glow and shine, and distract my empty mind.

the leaves in the trees would fall at my feet, brittle and brown, scatterred on the ground and clouds in the sky, were gray, never white. blowing away until loves fire bright my heart never beat, until we did meet. and the sun didn't shine until you were mine. the snow was just cold, never sparkled like gold. and stars were just holes in the darkness of night. and hands were just things for pockets and rings. and time was just ticking, until we did touch. my heart never beat, until we did meet. and the sun didn't shine until you were mine.

Port Huron 02:24
me and maynard climbed north, to the ancestral home. where he slept on the porch roof, until the war. i'm no better than my fathers yeah i'm not better than my fathers, elijah won't you take me with you? the men on the hill, are confirming their kill. oh, raise the debt. 'cause i'm no better than my fathers.

Vespers 02:01
i thank you for this golden light, the darkness of a silent night. for love in every place, in our homes and infinite space. may our hearts and spirits too, always in love, know what to do. bless all the world as we sleep this night, may we love equally all days and all our nights. all men. all men. all men... amen.
