Don’t let the light go out
even if there’s no light there
even if you’re nowhere
Don’t let the light go out
breathe to live another day
any how, any way
Forget about the showtune clowns
the ones laughing and vacationing now
cause shit’s about to go down
are you prepared and is your crowd?
protect your kin, make sure care is taken
take care of you, and try to listen
be human
Sense time in the belly, the breath in time
sense time in the throat, in the mouth of time
sense time in thought, is it slow fast or does it rhyhme
sense time in music, is it graceful or in a line?
cause the poets and the pointers and the jesters play
for your amusement, but they’re teaching today
will you listen or avoid or cry or rage
observe describe participate?
are you prepared and is your crowd?
protect your kin, make sure care is taken
take care of you, and try to listen
be human

Bird or Tree

Am I a bird or am I a tree
do I fly or do I sit still?
Is my brother beside me
is my sister inside me?
when I sit still, am I still me?
when I’m still, I’m still me
you’re gone, it’s fine, it’s fine with me
I’m still calm inside me
the world is ending, but I’m free
cause I’m still me when I’m still
when I’m still, I’m still me
Been to Houston, been to Betsy Ross
never felt like much of a boss
If I’m a bird and I’m a tree
will you nest inside of me?
I’ll be Lois if you need
I’ll be Diana if you need
society. When I sit still,
when I’m still I’m still me.
When I’m still I’m still me.
