My feet are on fire I'm moving away My cards are thrown down Shuffled in the flames Northwest wind, I pray Carry my ashes now Love me all the way My feet are on fire The road's keeping me sane I'm hopping around before I break You know wherever we roam It's closer, closer to home And I'll sell my silver dollars just to get by
2.
And I can't stop runnin' away From all these things You know I can't find a reason to stay I was drowning Now I'm restin' easy Draw, Draw me close, Draw me closer But color in the lines Till these clouds of smoke Take me home, take me home Take me out to life Till I'm restin' easy There's no other way to wake up
3.
Hey, you know It's lonely now Climbing up the stairs Without a final word Pulling at my heart When it's cold as hell I know it's summertime When I look into your eyes I'm blind To frozen warning signs Hey, you know the Autumn Sky She's pulling at my heart Sending love in breazy sighs Slipping through the dark And I'm falling out of love I'm burning down Like a torch to hide your frown If I knew another way to die You know I'd make it mine Hey, you know it's beautiful Falling down the stairs

Amber Sun 02:51
Amber Sun, Shining drum Hazel stare Keeps me here Love is just a crack in the wall Of my tired heart Smokescreen thoughts Hope I'm not Too lost to give Away my sin Part this sea Of shade and sorrow You know it's been holding me
5.
Sail down a concrete stream Twlight, twilight Yeah, it hits me Alone, watching the Moon Falling around me to you Koishii Feathers paint the breeze Swiftly, swiftly ride by me Stars are shining through A blanket that's faded from my view The birds still sing to fly Over, over when we pass by Safe inside a time Shining, always shining for us to find Koishii, Sarah, I miss you Feeling lonely, lonely when I get stoned and come down on my own
6.
I want it to rain Tears from an ocean in the sky Take me downstream White water splashes in my sight I'll soak you in now slowly I'll take you in now only Where am I gonna turn With these shades blocking my sides Is it all just a straight line you draw With heavy sunshine eyes? You broke right through And my cloudy thoughts sent me away Storm's coming soon My hands are empty, I'm OK I'm dreaming every night I'm waiting for my flight
7.
I want to love Before the world ends, honey I want to laugh Before it all leaves me crying The Sun is in my heart And She's leading me I want to love Before the world ends, honey I want to smoke one down with you, darling Throw up your hands You know there's no need to worry Throw up your hands You know there's no need to hurry There's vast emptiness, nothing special here
8.
Tampta, what is the night to closed eyes Could it answer where you are? I'd like to see the way you do Past my eyelids so far That my thoughts are lost for words For that seamless song that burns Tampta, it's in your heart Could you show me how to start My days anew With thoughts that leave me tangled to Broken English, perfect time Foreign melodies that fly
9.
I walk with hand in the wind And you're gone You think I'm tripping hard But you're wrong When I'm stuck inside your gaze I fall back into place You walk so fast, You bury my feet You touch my head I drown in my seat And I'm lost inside a time that won't come I'm dreaming of blank pages filling up I lived with a heavy heart for so long Trying to pick up what was done
10.
Deep Diver 03:38
Sister, don't you worry They'll be high times coming soon Drop your old ways Pick up sunshine In the nighttime To send you out in tune I feel nothing I'm miles high I'm an anchor broken loose I'm a deep diver Brother, I am climbing Past the Pirates Watching out for Snapping Turtles Gonna find the no name healer On the peaks of Hippie Hill
