lyrics

Last night I dreamt it was winter The summer had ended in a flash
My visions deceiving me again Perceiving things that haven’t yet come to be,
Or have and have already passed.

So I spent the entirety of that morning
Skipping through the woods
Reassuring myself that the snow had not yet come
And I still had time to enjoy the sun.
Yeah, I still have time to love the sun.

The morning dampness was relentless- the dew seeped through my skin
It rehydralized my spirit - bringing lucidity to me
Michael Valentine, my water brother taught me you gotta let the moisture in.

A song begins to fill my head
And I’m sure I’ve heard it many times before
I’m dancing amongst the trees
My feet stomping against the ground
And I hear the chorus of the forest taking up the song.

As my skull overfills with melodies, spilling from its brim
I sense the frivolities of human life bleeding through my skin.
Whether we were meant to have a place amongst the stars
Or never really learn what we are
My theory of love is that eventually we all must
Acquire the Universal Will to Become

As that is the truth that powers all things
Every living sentient or mechanized being
And I still recall that time when Salo told me
That the secret to life, isn’t finding a purpose or something
But finding someone to share your love
Yeah its finding someone to share all your love
This world could use more love

When I look out the window of my car
I stare at the trees and wonder how it would be to climb them all
How the breeze at sixty feet feels following fall
And what its like to feel nothing and melt with stars

And I’d really like to think that when a cigarette is halfway lit
It means that someone is thinking of me
Yeah that someone is sending me their love
Yeah, Someone out there loves me.

This world could use more love.
