I Love This Man 05:01
lyrics
buy track
I'm blinded by a bull's eye When the squall forms Takes me Like a passenger Lost in the swirl Of made-up burdens Haunted by purpose If I only had more Time pokes me in the belly Then reveals its score Sometimes a mirror is a highway Other times, a door Reflection's never been A good friend of mine The image warped and torn But I write to find a face Clear enough to trace A line back to its source I'm so tired of being tired What am I running towards? It's been a long long time But I'm never coming home Sure I can visit, but If you feel alone There's nothing I can do Except know this I'll feel it one day, too I talked to a professional counselor To bring it all to the fore She told me to breathe Rewrite the scene, But I took a detour I'm not afraid of death Just shaken by the threat That he might die before I can say I'm becoming my father I love this man I hate that I'm becoming my father I bet he'd understand, sure Memory—a honey-sweet birthright But I favor a restored Version of a complex person My own private lore I think I'm becoming my father I love this man It's been a long long time But I'm never coming home Sure I can visit, but If you feel alone There's nothing I can do Except know this I'll feel it one day, too

Wanna Be Right 03:32
lyrics

Caught in the middle It's mostly empty space Waiting for the walls to shake Towards a punishing embrace Truth always finds a way Always finds a way to speak Even if my words don't say it Even if my mouth's concrete I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right here with you I'm easy to figure out A child under a sheet Waiting for a witness To make it hide and seek Truth always finds a way Always finds a way to speak Even if my words don't say it Even if it's kerosene I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right here with you I need an enemy Someone on the other side For me to recognize But my fears, they hide What I know But I don't want to know That I know what I know Down deep inside I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right here with you I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right here with you I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right here with you I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right, I wanna be right I wanna be right here with you Truth always finds a way Always finds a way to speak Even if my words don't say it Coin stuck in the machine Mostly empty space What a nice mystery Sitting at the kitchen table Watching my son eat peas Watching my son eat Watching my son eat Watching my son Watching my son

Logic of Love 03:49
lyrics
buy track
I know I wake into story I know I wake up mid-scene But I want to rip through the wires Start a fire But you know I need electricity I've got good news for the livestock Kismet for the kids All the gods' bellies are full They're fat and tired There's no need for reciprocity The sages are deathly quiet They know what they don't know But I'm not complaining There's plenty sustaining My primeval need for cheap energy If I make my own game of Scrabble I better watch my steps I will find the flip-side Hiding behind What I said and what's asleep in my head Will you Hold me, hold me Show me the logic of love? Will you Hold me, hold me Show me the logic of love? Subtraction's not a part of the game No, it's not adding up We cannot think our way out of this With thinking that got us here I know its topsy turvy Heavy and blurry But it's way more fun than compliancy Let's do this together But don't collapse the space Between the horizon And where we're driving Yea, we're talking 'bout humanity Will you Hold me, hold me Show me the logic of love? Will you Hold me, hold me Show me the logic of love? Subtraction's not a part of the game No, it's not adding up Nothing comes from nothing Nothing is free The tickets to the banquet All go to the hungry Will you Hold me, hold me Show me the logic of love? Will you Hold me, hold me Show me the logic of love? Subtraction's not a part of the game No, it's not adding up

Sounds Different Now 04:12
lyrics

I'm not sure if my head is underwater And I'm the only one Or if I've found my own private bubble And it just weighs a ton Hallelujah don't sound the same same as I remember It sounds different now How anything gets anywhere is quite the miracle I use that word still Write down the final catechism of sunlight But you might feel a chill Hallelujah don't sound the same same as I remember It all feels different now You can find me wandering around In the underground Waiting for a sound I'm a submarine It all sounds different now Once we laid the final brick down in Paradise We got to work on Hell If God is dead then somebody better tell him Go on and wake him up Hallelujah don't sound the same same as I remember It sounds different now You can find me wandering around In a thundercloud Just one question in a crowd Crumbling But it's good to be downtown Even if nobody's here A city's potpourri Bittersweet I used to carry my own hymnbook Everywhere with me But those old songs They all sound different now

Art's Great Product 04:52
lyrics
buy track
I didn't know how to start a painting I was afraid to draw the first line So I never saw the ocean Or how it looked in my mind I hung up that painting Next to hundreds of the same size I built that house with blank portraits So I wouldn't have to look in their eyes (no) So I wouldn't have to look in their eyes Over time they gained some color From all the smoking and wine Sometimes I would stare at those paintings As a way to mark time Then I had a child When he was old enough to stand He made his own markings With his fingers and his hands With his fingers and his hands It's all worth talking about Just don't give it a name Because it won't be the same, oh no It won't be the same Then I sold those paintings But my walls were not bare No, they left an outline From all the time they spent there So I started over I left the house in disrepair Life is art's great product Sometimes it's too much to bear (yea) Sometimes it's too much to bear It's all worth talking about Just don't give it a name Because it won't be the same, oh no It won't be the same

Miss Us 05:20
lyrics

I don't know what I need How can you give it to me? Love is a rock sinking in the water I miss us I don't know what I mean Please don't listen to me Love's a cruel gift we give each other I miss us Oh, I miss us When we miss each other I don't know where I am Who said that I had a plan I might have lost our tickets to the kingdom I miss us I've known you since we were kids Since then, I've been many things Somehow you always know just how to find me I miss us Oh, I miss us When we miss each other We pull our daggers out of sheaths These tears are violent Please call out to the streets Someone's been killed by kindness I miss us You say you're losing your mind I say I'm losing my mind One day maybe we'll be happy at the same time I miss us Oh, I miss us When we miss each other You say you're losing your mind I say I'm losing my mind One day maybe we'll be happy at the same time I miss us I miss us I miss us, too

Would You Like a Wake-Up Call? 04:06
lyrics
buy track
No, death isn't near, death is here Someone toss him a cold beer Look around and the exits disappear Yea, who let this guy back in here? I'm drawing hands, I draw the drapes I'm drawing balls from a lottery cage But one things true if it happens to you You'll cling to life 'til its cheeks turn blue A cut on my finger, why should I even bother Steak knife tears through the skin Of coy summer blush The flesh of unstable citrus The sweet and sour bleeding Oh my my my! Would I still love you the same? One things for sure that I'll never really know How it's all gloom and it's all glow The lamppost knows that it doesn't compose Only revealing the shadows Bad at goodbyes so I didn't go Mark me down as a no show (baby) The day turned without tipping me off It sent me spinning in circles A heap of tiny umbrellas Piling up from the floor Dotted with orange rinds and cocktail cherries Absurdist map for the bored Oh my my my! Would I still love you the same if I knew you wouldn't leave? Would I still love you the same if I knew you wouldn't leave? Would I still love you the same if I knew you wouldn't leave? Would I still love you the same if I knew you wouldn't leave? Would I still love you the same if I knew you wouldn't leave? Would I still love you the same if I knew you wouldn't leave? Would I still love you the same if I knew you wouldn't leave? Would I still love you the same if I knew you wouldn't leave?

Plant Medicine is contemplative pop music from two curious humans. It's for brave people who aren’t afraid to kick up dust, cozy up with contradiction, and smile into the abyss. We hope you think a little, dance a bit, and enjoy it as much as we did making it. ... more
