emptiest fullness

Emptiest fullness breathe out then breathe in,
Caged freedom pacing this body through and through again,
Our worst secrets are pearls in the mud we hide them in.

peel me gently

Peel me gently, why can't you peel me gently,
layer by layer skin by skin.
Peel me gently, why can't you peel me gently,
layer by layer skin by skin.
Feels like you're cutting me open,
holding me while I struggle
just so you can look within,
I am more than just a pile of onion rings
Your eyes are sharp, your eyes are so sharp
you can see my faults from a mile away
and you name them all for me one by one.
Your eyes are sharp, your eyes are so sharp.
Feels like you're cutting me open,
holding me while I struggle
just so you can look within,
I am more than just a pile of onion rings.

so not alone

Something comes over me and I'm made mute to your suffering.
Something comes down on me and I'm left to abandon you repeatedly.
Oh repeatedly, so repeatedly, I'm made mute to your suffering.
Something comes down on me and I get lost where you end and I begin.
Something comes down on me and I get stranded on this silent island.
Oh repeatedly, so repeatedly, I get stranded on this silent island -
we are not alone
we are not alone
we are so not alone
we are so not alone
we are so not alone
so not alone.

freedom rider

See through skies there are no clouds in sight,
quite clear quite crisp quite still quite warm
open up till there's no outside,
freedom rider
Open faces, you can feel the joy at fifteen paces,
we can express this in full thickness in full thickness in full
through all the layers of our lives,
freedom rider
riding out on the fronteer
Flying free and I don't care who sees
thoughts are weightless thoughts are weightless
thoughts are weightless thoughts are weightless
I love to feel the wind upon my wings
freedom rider
riding out on the fronteer
there are no fronteers here
