Trust me, trust me dear When I start shapeshifting here For I exist in you And you are alive in the mountains too Oh and as these ice caps melt The seas will , Rise And take you further up Oh to live your lives In the Sky Oh, your bodies, They wont last Whats inside, Is infinite Oh, these rivers Sing so loud All can hear, their Echo Trust me, trust me dear When I start shapeshifting, here For you, exist in me Losing yourself In the wind and the sea Oh and as you drill in me A dark black, snake will Rise Teach you to leave Oh behind your skin All this greed Oh my body, it wont last Whats inside is infinite Oh these Spirits, sing so loud All can hear, their Echo Trust me, As I’m Shapeshifting Trust me, Change is happening Trust me as I’m Shapeshifting All will come and be Trust me as I’m Shapeshifting Stone, Feather, Skin, Leaves

Embers 03:42
May the embers In our hearts Rise above the flames As the smoke that is our past Unveils truth, again We dig our holes, and place our sticks To light a fire on our idleness Sparking the passion That exists, in each of us Let us act on it We live, we learn, we hurt, we Love And sometimes we lose it all Realize that our true selves Have a deeper call Through the ashes that bless this ground Those that burned lay fertile now Through their layers we grow and sprout Determined to branch change out We use our bodies as shields to the War upon our humanity Dodging the bullets that were sent from the Darker forces, may we lighten thee We live, we learn, we hurt, we Love Sometimes we lose it all Realize that our true selves Have a deeper call We rise, we fall, yet our blood still pounds Eager to risk it all We can survive anything, when we unify our hearts We can survive anything, when we unify our hearts When we unify our hearts, when we unify our, hearts

Galaxies 04:21
Feet, dirt, dust & dreams Destiny she leads You knew and no one knew X2 As roads became our home trust held strong like stone I let my heart go A hunger in me rose For you, for you, for you, Have known me from another time And we, we , we Share memories in each others eyes Earth turns & shakes Parts of us awake An ancient deepening From realms far, between In your travelled soul lives a bond so old Ripples start to grow A hunger in me rose For you, you, you Have loved me from another time And we, we ,we Share memories in each others eyes How did the earth come to be Bursting from stars & g a l a x i e s How did you find me Across the stars & g a l a x i e s

Sea Planes 05:00
It started with you eyes, A world I wandered in At times when you would hide From curious glances We paddled to an island On the salt spring sea Exotic snakes were breeding there A treasure found in madrone trees Chorus - Sea planes Are taking off My salt skin, ohh ooh Protecting my heart Sea planes, Are taking off My salt skin Protecting my h e a r t Verse II Understood in words, A poets longest spell, As truth inside me yearns To echo thoughts you’ve held Sweet vulnerability In a tent under the moon Listening I be, To all parts of you Chorus- Sea planes Are taking off My salt skin, ohh ooh Protecting my heart Sea planes, Are taking off My salt skin Protecting my h e a r t Bridge- Lifted over skiffs we watch it soar Im still drifting please dont take me back, dont take me back to shore Cause I got this little feeling as I , saw you in the door That just maybe, oh maybe, we both done this thang We both done this thang, oh done this thang before We both done this thang Oh we both done this thang Before

Sparrow 03:59
I try today , to open my heart A little wider See those that I've been missing , like The man on the corner The homeless man Societies cast away A witness to the normalizing Of inequalities hard face The one whose found a way to Survive in Survive in The glass & rubble Survive in These growing troubles I try today , To open my eyes A little wider See those that I've been missing , like The woman on the corner The painted woman with eyes of a sparrow Casting protection over us all Or these words etched into city walls Lead in to Verse A poem to keep us Alive and involved Keep us, alive and involved Keep us Feeling something at all So we take a moment just to see The beauty in the side streets All that's living whether we see Between the cracks in concrete Oh a love, between, the nature inside And the nature that's become The Wild The Wild & ragged Streets I try today just to open my heart A little wider I try today just to open my heart A little wider
