1. Guardian4:18

   Letra

   You, you who has smiled when you’re in pain You who has soldiered through the profane They were distracted and shut down So why, why would you talk to me at all Such words were dishonorable and in vain Their promise as solid as a fog And where was your watchman then I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand The greatest honor of all, as your guardian You, you in the chaos feigning sane You who has pushed beyond what’s humane Them as the ghostly tumbleweed And where was your watchman then I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand The greatest honor of all, as your guardian Now no more smiling mid crestfall No more managing unmanageables No more holding still in the hailstorm Now enter your watchwoman I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

   I have tasted stardom since before I breathed My well-known hungry daddy modeled it for me And I have never left this ambitious city And I’ve only known a lust for vip I have studied long and hard how to proceed Nothing but my name in bright lights call to me I display the perfect amount of ennui I’ll carve my face up if you’ll indulge me Give me celebrity My kingdom to be famous Tell me who I have to be Starving to be famous Never wondered who’s pulling strings above me Cuz I’m aware of wheels, heels and vintage gucci I’m on my twentieth round of vitamin v I’ll cut my weight in two if you’ll have me Give me celebrity My kingdom to be famous Tell me who I have to be Starving to be famous Let me into this exclusive club Ignore my not-so-hidden agenda I am a tattooed sexy dancing monkey Just aloof enough to get you to want me Hoping my persona ingratiates me Give my life for an opportunity Give me celebrity My kingdom to be famous Tell me who I have to be Starving to be famous
5. Empathy4:00

   Letra

   There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait You come along and invite these parts out of hiding This invitation is one that I’ve stopped fighting…. Thank you for seeing me I feel so less lonely Thank you for getting me I’m healed by your empathy Oh this intimacy There were so many times: thought I’d die not being truly known There’ve been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation You come along and celebrate each feeling And there you are all honor and inquiring…… Thank you for seeing me I feel so less lonely Thank you for getting me I’m healed by your empathy Oh this intimacy There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me Required too much you see To accept your generosity And to know myself enough to let you help me Thank you for seeing me I feel so less lonely Thank you for getting me I’m healed by your empathy Oh this intimacy
6. Lens4:09

   Letra

   You and I Are in the same room We both think we’re fair We both live for ‘truth’ But then how are we to define Something so subjective Living under the same roof So here, these battles of wills They beg for some proof of right versus wrong Your approach seen as better than mine Though it’s working for you All I feel is disconnection So now it’s your religion Against my religion My humble opinion ‘gainst yours This does not feel like love And it’s your conviction Against my conviction And I’d like to know What we’d see through the lens of love And so now your grand assessment Is that I’m not in your group That I’m not your kind And so we’re locked in a stalemate With you in your corner And me dismayed in mine So now it’s your religion Against my religion My humble opinion ‘gainst yours This does not feel like love And it’s your conviction Against my conviction And I’d like to know What we’d see through the lens of love And this stance keeps us locked and both in gloves And this lie remains about us being separate So now it’s your religion Against my religion My humble opinion ‘gainst yours This does not feel like love And it’s your conviction Against my conviction And I’d like to know What we’d see through the lens of love
7. Spiral4:17

   Letra

   I could be daydreaming but for a moment And somehow they’re creeping back in I could be sleeping and wake in a torrent Somehow I get caught in their grips again Here I am in my shame spiral I’m sucked into it again I reach out for your benevolent opinion And you bring the light back in Don’t leave me here with all these critical voices Cuz they do their best to bring me down bring me down When I’m alone with all these negative voices I will need your help to turn them down turn them ‘round I could be listening to a conversation A story I’m not even in These voices have their way when I am unguarded Suddenly I step in quicksand again Once again in my shame spiral I am glad that you’ve weighed in Don’t leave me here with all these critical voices Cuz they do their best to bring me down bring me down When I’m alone with all these negative voices I will need your help to turn them down turn them ‘round All these judgments so incisive Voices left to their devices This woman’s neuroses a desperate plea For slack to be cut to me…cut to me Don’t leave me here with all these critical voices Cuz they do their best to bring me down bring me down When I’m alone with all these negative voices I will need your help to turn them down turn them ‘round
8. Numb4:10

   Letra

   I feel smothered, and encumbered and defeated and drawn Disappointed, over-extended and frustrated And shaken This over-giving, over-loving, this caretaking Goes on With no chance of intermission, I'll be checked out, I'll be gone, How to remove myself from sensation? Here comes a feeling I run from the feeling And reach for the drug, Can't sit with this feeling I'd rather be flying And comfortably numb I feel anxious I am nervous I am bored, I'm overwhelmed, rather be out of my gourd How to remove myself from sensation? Here comes a feeling I run from the feeling And reach for the drug, Can't sit with this feeling I'd rather be flying And comfortably numb I am lonely I feel hungry and unloved I feel angry I am livid need a hug, Here comes a feeling I run from the feeling And reach for the drug, Can't sit with this feeling I'd rather be flying And comfortably numb
9. Havoc5:53

   Letra

   Just when I thought I had handles on this I could soften my guard behind false confidence Just when I found humble pie insipid Exempt from this blind side and firmly in it's grip Cuz I’m seduced by reaction And under the influence I’m slipping again I’m up to old tricks off my wagon I have no defense I’m wreaking havoc Wreaking havoc and consequence I get reduced by my own willfulness As I reach for my usual God replacements Cuz I am rich with sanction And lax in my steps I’m slipping again I’m up to old tricks off my wagon I have no defense I’m wreaking havoc Wreaking havoc and consequence If forgiveness is understanding Then I offer mea culpa for the millionth time From this toppling house of cards of mine I am beaten by my impulsiveness By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret Cuz I’m repulsed by restriction At least that’s my excuse I’m slipping again I’m up to old tricks off my wagon I have no defense I’m wreaking havoc Wreaking havoc and consequence
10. Win And Win5:01

    Letra

    In my old days someone won Those were days of win-lose In those bleak times I was better I sat high: Looking down my nose Change direction: Looking up I’m not worthy to be with you We are separate I’m inferior I had yearnings to sit across from you Cuz we’re eye to eye We are win and win We are equal to each other We are flames of twin We are offspring of truth We are partner sister brother Both directions speak a lie Up or down, I can’t feel you As we battle with our power We are separate, not looking across Cuz we’re eye to eye We are win and win We are equal to each other We are flames of twin We are offspring of truth We are partner sister brother These delusions of our grandeur We are locked in the struggle These lies of status lower These conclusions we’re in trouble Cuz we’re eye to eye We are win and win We are equal to each other We are flames of twin We are offspring of truth We are partner sister brother Seems I love you Seems I love you Seems I love you Seems I love you Seems I love you (do I love you?) Seems I love you Seems I love you (do I love you?) Seems I love you
11. Receive4:28

    Letra

    I wake up and first things first: I'm of service I make sure your needs are met as a selfless I give hard and serve hard and now I, I need a break I give big, I give all and now it's time to regenerate Today's all about me, about cup filling Today's all about me learning how, how to receive How to receive I move on through offerings often one-sided Being this low on list of worth: over-extended I give hard, provide hard and now I need some relief I look out, I proffer and now I need some respite indeed Today's all about me, all about cup filling Today's all about me learning how, how to receive How to receive My habit to love you first and me: remainders Favoring you is so knee-jerk, leaves me a stranger I give hard, impart hard and now I need to retreat I give out, dedicate and now I need to acknowledge me Today's all about me, all about cup filling Today's all about me learning how, how to receive How to receive
12. Edge Of Evolution4:36

    Letra

    Here I leave my story, I leave it in the dust Although this psychology's been entertaining enough Herein lies the witness objective with my stuff But we’re ready to push envelopes into full-blown consciousness So here we go out here on the edge of evolution Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution I have had my glimpses with and without substances I have had awakenings non-abiding for the most part And here we go out here on the edge of evolution Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution In this sacred duality The highs and lows and heres and theres These aversions and these cravings Push me beyond identity into pure awareness (we’re already here) And here we are out here on the edge of evolution We keep going out here on the edge of evolution Here we are out here on the edge of evolution We keep going out here on the edge of evolution
