I Want 05:16
I want a call or a text I want a freshly baked pie I want a warm bath I want to put on my face I want you to see me, to see me with new eyes I want to go to the Smoky Mountains I want to make music with you I want to get out of here I want to make everything okay I want to be who I want to be I want the world to see me

Time 05:13
Our eyes don't witness the same hues, the same green Our ears can't hear the same song, the same great song A dream it's gone It's time to get up I need more time Blade of grass, an ocean A grain of sand, a bird call The rain falls I'm sliding I'm sweating I need more time

Lydia 02:50
I dreamed of a carpenter building a house of wood under a rainbow sky green-gray a mother sky nestled beneath a tree under a star-filled cloud under a bough of green upon a boat at sea And the morning brings a wash of cyan a wash of indigo my heart is full so to love you is not to know where the next night goes where the next year goes what the future holds

In Dreams 02:07
To the east, the sun rises red and my love is laying quietly alone in an empty bed To the west, the sun lingers late and I'm up troubled stirring sitting up in bed awake In my dreams I'll see you in my dreams To the north, the mountain will rise and I wish I was there just to take in the mountain's size To the south, the birds will sing and you wish you were there just for the peace it will bring In your dreams You'll see me in your dreams

Anti-War 03:08
Knocked me down on my knees and took my hands behind me and zip-tied me. Put me into a cruiser. It was all so sudden. There was never a personal order for me to stop doing whatever I was doing. I was just standing on the sidewalk. And I got kneed in the back and arrested. I was one of seventeen people arrested that night. We were taken to the jail in Auburn, the county jail. And we were in a cell for probably like five, six hours. And then the story goes, I can't confirm it... They collected this bail money and got us out that evening. Otherwise we were gonna be there overnight. So anyway we got bailed out. And I had to tell my parents that I was arrested. It's the only time in my life still that I've been arrested. And they were very upset about it but they agreed with the cause.

Girl 05:24
As a woman As a woman Like a woman Like a woman Like a woman A tall girl A strong girl A long girl A song girl A wrong girl A song bird A lean bird A strong bird A stream bird A dream bird A blue pill A potion Sublingual A wrinkle An old girl A body Changing body Make this body Fuck this body Love this body
