Earth Energy

I have no heart now
just old earth energy
it never grows out of me
it's the hot grown cold that rules the world
I've learned how to be alone
how to keep cold when I should
but this animal body and heartless bone
never get old never get old
wind tips over
two blades of grass
sun will stain them white when they die
it's the heartless things that run the world
I've learned how to be alone
how to keep cold when I should
but this animal body and heartless bone
never get old never get old
when all our lovers consume each other
what will be left?
when all our lovers consume each other
uh oh uh uh oh uh uh oh
I tried very hard to believe in a light at the end
but it goes round in waves here
the night always comes again
here it comes again
here it comes now
I've learned how to be alone
how to keep cold when I should
but this animal body and heartless bone
never get old never get old
it never grows out of me

Soft as Lions

how long do you plan to live in the dark,
sharpening your teeth against the edges of the light?
how strong how strong should we make plans to be?
it's really fine, it's really fine
strong for the seasons of peace in between us
a lion is waiting to dream without sleeping
lions lions lions lions
we'll be soft as lions
it's still okay if you wanna dream for me
I'm going nowhere and I love you the best
don't send that text in the bathroom of the bar
I'm saving it all, I'm saving it all
strong for the seasons of peace in between us
so fierce are the hearts that cannot be taught reason
is one getting strong well the other's not weaker
the lions between us are not getting bigger
lions lions lions lions
we'll be soft as lions

Diary

I keep a diary for you
so I can show you all the things I love
you
never seen never glimpsed never
oh
you
there's so much I cannot name
I keep a diary for me
so I remember all the things I've loved
love
every breath every petal every
oh
love
there's so much that we forget
round here the trees the trees the trees
are ever evergreen
the trees the trees the trees
are not like you and me
my love
you and I are changing every day
and when we finally meet
then we'll change again
like a bud to a bloom to a
oh
there's so much we cannot know
round here the trees the trees the trees
are ever evergreen
the trees the trees the trees
are not like you and me
my love

Mountain

big hot fires make cold deep floods
I like to smell the earth when it's cooling down
I can't make you hear me but I can get loud
what I've held in my hand I will let it go
don't I have the right
to a landslide?
my love won't tear a mountain down
way down where the shadows lie
I'm moving like a bird does in a storm
I don't wonder what it means to die
don't I have the right
to a landslide?
