Moonlight Medicine

The howlin’ wind
opens your door
and the cat comes in
lays on your floor
the fire roars
and casts its light
and the shadows dance in the room tonight

we lay around and we sing my songs
friends surround
we song along
in this place
oh we are one
family now
the web is spun

Moonlight Medicine
grown in the heart
so genuine
Moonlight Medicine
heals the Earth
one by one

Made a blessed cure
under a harvest moon
for some dirty hands
or a dirty spoon
took pause to race
up the hill to say
how grateful we were
to catch that time of day
Passionflower and Chamomile
dropped on the tongue
to end the night
whether or not
I lay down to dream or wake
i can’t decide

Moonlight Medicine
grown in the heart
so genuine
Moonlight Medicine
heals the Earth
one by one

Moonlight Medicine
grown in the heart
so genuine
Moonlight Medicine

Trifecta

Won’t you be my caffeine
My cocoa and my coconut oil
be the fuel for my day
won’t you be the roses in my honey
cause I don’t want to take it any other way

I want to be fully in
not halfway in and out
can’t sit by and not
care about you in the way that I do
can’t reel it in can’t scale it back
don’t want anybody else
cause I’ve tried that
Cause I can’t sit around and wait anymore
it’s furtherin it’s furtherin my own sufferin’
I want to either
put my full being into it
or just come to grips and call it quits
cause I love you but I need to
be loved and welcomed in
truly and fully
not another in between no more hidin’
i want to be seen I want to be seen
i want you to

be my caffeine
My cocoa and my coconut oil
be the fuel for my day
won’t you be the roses in my honey
cause I don’t want to take it any other way

and if you can’t be that for me
let me tell you what I see
a strong woman being who she was meant to be
lay the groundwork before your feet
so you can walk and you can be free
forever grateful for the gifts you have given
but please know I will go
find another soul who’s fire matches my own
but know that I would rather
know that I would rather
oh won’t you know that I’d rather you

be my caffeine
My cocoa and my coconut oil
be the fuel for my day
won’t you be the roses in my honey
cause I don’t want to take it any other way

Bloom

VERSE
Every night I look in your eyes
And see the same thing
Deep inside I know we want to
Say the same thing
Love the way you
Smile with your eyes
When you talk shit
Won’t you stay I
Know you wanna make a habit of it

PRE-CHORUS
But it’s those things in your brain
Sayin’ we should stay the same
Fear covering you heart
Just let it all melt away
Come live the life you
Want inside
Don’t hold back
Let yourself be happy because

CHORUS
You already stop to smell the roses
So why you cutting’ back the ones you’re growing
Lifes to short to be afraid of knowing’
I promise you you let them grow
And they will bloom

VERSE
Ten years strong and
Ink in our arms
Decided finally to
Write you a song I
Saw you standing there
Lingering ‘round
And you were swaying to me strummin’ away

PRE-CHORUS
But it’s those things in your brain
Sayin’ we should stay the same
Fear covering you heart
Just let it all melt away
Come live the life you
Want inside
Don’t hold back
Let yourself be happy because

CHORUS
You already stop to smell the roses
So why you cutting’ back the ones you’re growing
Lifes to short to be afraid of knowing’
I promise you you let them grow
And they will bloom

BRIDGE
I wanna learn all of your
Favorite songs
You name it I’ll learn it
Even The Beatles
White album
And though I drive you crazy
You go and do the same
Your idiosyncrasies are endearing’
To me so there’s only
One thing you should change

CHORUS
You already stop to smell the roses
So why you cutting’ back the ones you’re growing
Lifes to short to be afraid of knowing’
I promise you you let them grow
And they will bloom

Love Letter

CHORUS:
Do you, know my name? Like I know yours
From Mt. Hood to Coos Bay
From the top, to the bottom
and everywhere in between
I’ve found love in the spaces
Oo so many different places
I just can’t wait to be with you, again
Verse 1:
Sittin a-top Cascade Head
With the forest at my back
You smile at my and everything becomes as it should be
The firs and the ferns
and the breeze
Under the butterfly’s wings
I wanna see every acre Call me a freak of nature
(continued)
I wanna see the elk graze and play
in the sunshine rays
As the rainbow inside the ocean spray caresses me on my face
I know one thing is true
I can’t get enough of you
Chorus: x1
+Whistling
VERSE 2:
Taking off down the 101 don’t care where you lead me witness, your beauty, unparalleled, naturally
The Sea Stars, or the lions in their caves
or the waves that crash and smash the cliffs
oh how you miss behave!

I want to climb
the highest of your dunes
and swim with the salmon in their red platoon, under an autumn moon One thing I know is true
I never want to be without you
FINAL CHORUS: X2

prom queen

Well I’m sick of that shit
You throwin at me
I’m not fit
For you bad philosophy
That makes a right man wrong and crazy
You just keep that thinking you’re better than the sum of we but that only happens in a mob mentality
And buddy you can’t solve a problem that you can’t see and maybe if you weren’t full of it
We could put our hands together in one group and put our world back into one piece and evil’d be duped
Change seems to happen when fact gains popularity
Why can’t we see
Right now fiction is the
Prom queen
Stupid as stupid seems
Picked by the mainstream
Corrupt by the money schemes
Prom queen
Well those rich kid pricks with their fancy new cars
Who think their better than you are
Ripples in to the real world pond and they never seem to get off the high horse that they on
You got to shoot them off with your words and let yourself be heard no more bullshit and stop spending my money on your failed drug policy
Falicies don’t cease to be fallicies just because they gain popularity oh my friend Chesterton why can’t we see
right now fiction is the
prom queen
stupid as stupid seems
picked by the main stream
corrupt by the money schemes
prom queen
your better than this
your better than this

you’re making this mess
you’re making mess
we’re better than this
we’re better than this

this whole damn mess
is madness

prom queen
stupid as stupid seems
picked by the main stream
corrupt by the money schemes

compost

VERSE
Left home few months ago
I5 and the radio
Southbound headed to California
Gonna teach those kids
How to farm
Pick up a few skills of my own
Make that black gold compost
Until the cows come home (woah)

I’ll say it again
Carbon and nitrogen
Water and air
Turn it while Miss Polish stands and stares
And that’s the circle of life
For plants and humans alike
So don’t turn your nose

PRE-CHORUS
Cause who knows
When you might be
The next ingredient
In mother natures compost bin?
And wouldn’t you like to grow
Into a beautiful tree
Instead of being a
Bougie mummy?

CHORUS
So pull your head out of your mind
And see what’s in front of your eyes
Cause if the world keeps turning
And you keep on learning
The fruit of your labor will shine

VERSE
Now there’s no such thing as a weed
Just what we need and what we want to see
And don’t be so short sided
Like we seem to be
As a species
Your tomato might grow in your
Chemical compote
But build your soil up and you’ll make friends
With bugs that are beneficial and
You’ll be happy and fulfilled
And filled with all the things that you need

PRE-CHORUS
But don’t take it from me
On the farm I learned more
Than the knowledge I passed along
And on and on
I ramble and I rant
But I’ll always be
Life’s student

CHORUS
So pull your head out of your mind
And see what’s in front of your eyes
Cause if the world keeps turning
And you keep on learning
The fruit of your labor will shine

dark days be gone

VERSE
Well I feel like I’ve been runnin’
My whole life
From the truth that I feel
On the inside
Always felt that I should hide
All the ways that my eyes
Caught the light
So little by little it’s coming undone
Watch the screws fly out
Hope they don’t hit someone
Hope they don’t hit someone

CHORUS
Cause I was told
That a man ain’t whole
Until he comes to peace with his
Own devil
I surely found
This to be true
So don’t look back at the demons as they bite at you
As you push on through

VERSE
I watch the night get longer
And the days grow harder
Got a shorter fuse than I’m used to
No longer see the beauty
In the faces in people in humanity
There’s a weight
In every breath
I take
And it longs for the past
And it makes me hate
All the ways that I’ve
Wasted life
In a way that forgets all the
Love I’ve known
All the ways I’ve grown
Always back to that poor sap
Suffering on
Dark days be gone

CHORUS
Cause I was told
That a man ain’t whole
Until he comes to peace with his
Own devil
I surely found
This to be true
So don’t look back at the demons as they bite at you
As you push on through

Leavin’ again

VERSE
Well I guess I’ll be packin’ up again
Going back to where I began
Back to that same old room
Lookin’ at the tree
Droppin’ it’s branches
So heavily

Back to where I ran
Up and down the halls
Beatin’ drums to wake my parents
When Christmas called
Where in the backyard I played like I was far
Where I once lived
Following my heart

CHORUS
Oooooo

VERSE
Well I made it to california
Found some people who I adore
But I’ve been a terrible friend
Cause I haven’t
Even called or written
And since the lion let out his last roar
I haven’t been the same as before
I tried to push on through
And this time I will go to
Find peace once more

CHORUS
Ooooo

VERSE
So to you I want to say
Sorry I couldn’t stay
I gave it my best shot
But these demons in my head
Have me livin’ (thinking?)
In a hellish kind of way
And I know I am a little old
To retreat to my mother’s hold
Back to my father’s throne
I need the love
CHORUS
Ooooos

Seeds you sow

When you going down that road
you never thought you’d go - ohhhh
The truth it hits you like a ton of bricks
Your world begins to slow - ohh
Never quite managed to comprehend
All you could of known - ohh

When you find yourself
Find yourself alone
It’s all that you can do
All that you can manage to keep calm

I know this will be hard
And a part of you ain’t ever coming home
I know the day is dark
And you can’t see the seeds you’ve sown
Well you may break and you may fall
But just know throughout it all you ain’t alone
No no no

When you have a thought
That you want to share
And the one you used to turn to
Well they ain’t there
And the panic of that day it
Seems to creep
Into your life
Always seems to lie beneath
When you’ve made a thousand diamonds
In your chest
Riches they won’t bring you
Only tears at best

When you find yourself
Find yourself alone
It’s all that you can do
All that you can manage to keep calm

I know this will be hard
And a part of you ain’t ever coming home
I know the day is dark
And you can’t see the seeds you’ve sown
Well you may break and you may fall

(Bridge “ohhs”)

Chorus

don’t you wanna know?

I’ve been told that
I can live in harmony
with life and all the things that surround me
Let go of the way that
I believe, that life should be and
I can just accept that
I’m not in control
my role is channeling the light within
And challenging the things that lead to sufferin
to everything, including me

Surrender to the life that’s
moving through you
and you’ll find who you are
melt away the ice you’re caught up in
so you can feel the heat of the star
we’re dancin’ round
and you’re stepping on toes
not following the lead, don’t you wanna know?
where you’d be if you lean into the rhythm
of the movement of life
let’s see where it goes

Well, I try to remind myself
one day I will die
no matter what I try
it’s the right thing to do now
learn to accept that fact somehow

‘Cause I wanna live in a way
that gives every moment it’s due
I wanna engage and stop livin it safe
and I don’t know
any other way
except to

Surrender to the life that’s
moving through you
and you’ll find who you are
melt away the ice you’re caught up in
so you can feel the heat of the star
we’re dancin’ round
and you’re stepping on toes
not following the lead, don’t you wanna know?
where you’d be if you lean into the rhythm
of the movement of life
let’s see where it goes

kostabi

VERSE 1
Have you ever heard of
The artist kostabi?
Neither had I before I made a trip
To his gallery in New York City
I went there with some friends
That I was
We were visiting
We were all part of an artful kind of group
I’m still friends with those friends in that group
When we walked inside the gallery
We were handed cappuccinos
And books that were big as me
Big and red
With gold lettering
I didn’t know who this artist was
And I
I still don’t know now
No I don’t know don’t know now

CHORUS
Ain’t it sometimes how it feels?
I think sometimes we might need to hear
Our inflated red and gold
Egos
But maybe all we need is to
Sit down and read
A big book full of past memories

VERSE 2
I still have the book
I put it in my bag on the plane ride home
And sometimes take a look
Open the pages and wonder through them
It’s not my kind of thing
Kind of a weird humanoid bowling pin being
It’s a weird ashtetic
Like the music you h heard that one time
And now it brings you back
Feelings and images
Emotional connection
Tied to a time and place
Even if the actual thing you hear ain’t even that pleasant
Woah even that pleasant
CHORUS
Ain’t it sometimes how it feels?
I think sometimes we might need to hear
Our inflated red and gold
Egos
But maybe all we need is to
Sit down and read
A big book full of past memories

(Whistling solo)

CHORUS
Ain’t it sometimes how it feels?
I think sometimes we might need to hear
Our inflated red and gold
Egos
But maybe all we need is to
Sit down and read
A big book full of past memories

earth balance

VERSE 1
Bread is golden like sunshine
Sun rays flowing like butter on bread
The kind that I like
Watch out get enough of both of them and they’ll fuck you up
Big time
One on the inner and the other on
The outside (outside)

CHORUS
It’s the nature of all natural things
Take too much of it and it’ll come back biting
Find that balance but don’t get tricked
Better to get sick than to use that fake bullshit

VERSE 2
Salt fat acid and heat
The things that Samin taught to me
Nowhere in those pages I turned
Read about the chemically spread
Butter instead
form a bond with the animals
To get what you need
don’t even have to be dead
You can make friends instead
(Friends instead)

CHORUS
It’s the nature of all natural things
Take too much of it and it’ll come back biting
Find that balance but don’t get tricked
Better to get sick than to use that fake bullshit
Oooo

BRIDGE
And if you’re not down for it
That’s okay I’m not saying it’s black or white
But don’t you fuss at me
If I turn down
Your dinner invite

CHORUS
It’s the nature of all natural things
Take too much of it and it’ll come back biting
Find that balance but don’t get tricked
Better to get sick than to use that fake bullshit

(Woahs)

Final Chorus
It’s the nature of all natural things
Take too much of it and it’ll come back biting
Find that balance but don’t get tricked
Better to get sick than to use that fake bullshit

Inner Harmony

You put so much weight in the words
of another, of a lover
not even yours
why you do that to yourself
every god damn time
I wish some day you’d find that line

I see the way you ride that wave
you take it up
see the world
from up above
and when it crashes down on you
you’re left in the wake black and blue
i wish some day you’d find that line

Oh my friend
won’t you find
what’s inside you all the time
Oh my dear
won’t you see yeah
you don’t need nobody else to find that inner harmony

you tried you whole life to forget
who you are
keep coverin’ up
that burnin star
that’s inside you and it guides
but you’re scared to let it shine
trust me the whole world needs your light

I see the way you ride that wave
you take it up
see the world
from up above
and when it crashes down on you
you’re left in the wake black and blue
trust me the whole world needs your light

Oh my friend
won’t you find
what’s inside you all the time
Oh my dear
oh, won’t you see yeah
you don’t need nobody else to find that inner harmony

Homecoming

I’ve tried everything
tried to love god the way they taught me
I’ve tried everything
tried to be a stoner to love weed
I’ve tried everything that I thought might serve me

growing up i was the shadow of myself
age ten sweatshirts covered up my poor self worth
all my friends I duped them
thought that I would lose them
if they knew the truth in who I was inside
and for ten more years I kept it up
mastered the craft
of living just enough
all the things I went through
gained and got into
all without the full conviction of my being oooh
but i kept the charade up
thought it would take me through the hurt
think that I’m ready to be done
think that I learned my lesson

I’ve tried everything
tried to love god the way they taught me
I’ve tried everything
tried to be a stoner to love weed
I’ve tried everything that I thought might serve me

always plagued by a prelapsarian fear
dinosaurs and ghosts at first
I feared the most
Ben hadn’t Welcomed me to the Cruel world
For Emma hadn’t cooed the words that
hijacked my mind when all I wanted was sleep
and with all that past
and my tool chest packed
I was ready to take on anything at all
but then my best friend was ripped away
tool chest child’s play
left with an anger and a sadness hollow as ever ohh
but i kept the charade up
thought it would take me through the hurt
think that I’m ready to be done
think that I learned my lesson

I’ve tried everything
tried to love god the way they taught me
I’ve tried everything
tried to be a stoner to love weed
I’ve tried everything this time I’ll try to just be me
