Deeper 02:07
A love like ours is like a garden Once it's growing there's the no stopping The sun and the moon are your eyes The world still spins around after we die So treat your lover's heart real gently Treat her like the queen she should be Life is a sacred, wondrous thing Feel the warmth and joy that her love brings Cast away your pains and sorrows We're here today and gone tomorrow Weep not for the loss you feel Just love deeper and deeper you will heal
2.
Dew and daffodils beneath my bare feet Me and my love there is nothing as sweet As your voice calling to me 'Cross the fields of rolling green Beautiful flower, Aphrodite goddess Like a child I lay my head on your chest We are born a thousand times Within this one short life Despite this mad world I'm feeling strangely free There's a new love growing inside of me Close your eyes and count to ten Baby come and find me again
3.
Pulled the plug the other day Made my Internet go away Couldn't take it, had to stop I'm so tired of these fuckin cops How far can your badge carry you? How many do you shoot for fun? How can you even look us in the eye and say you're "so surprised" you "never, ever meant to hurt anyone"? You're not fooling us Systemic violence, state sanctioned Impoverished are enemy one Protect the wealth of psychopaths Trauma is the torch they pass

Madam Mushroom said to me, "It isn't love if you don't fee free" (don't you feel free?) You and I we try to be happy in Earth reality (oh it's so hard) Should've taken a bite long ago Shouldn't have taken it so damn slow Should've taken a bite long ago Why can't I dissolve? Why can't I be clouds anymore? I think that I may be losing my mind Oh lawd dee dee dee dee dee Oh my my! Madam Mushroom said to me, "Only fools crave self-pity" (so funny, so sad) Laughing at this human form Oh how we vex, oh how we adorn (so tired, so glad)
5.
You are allowed to live with ease Don't let them tell you otherwise They will delude, they will elude They will want your compromise My dove take the greatest of care My love for you is everywhere But experiences are free Don't let them try to sell you one This precious life is yours and you're Bright and beautiful as the sun My dove take the greatest of care My love for you is everywhere All you seek soon you will find Arms and heart open wide
6.
Two Paths 02:24
Don't waste one moment more Your life is running away Two paths that you can choose Burn bright or fade away Hear her calling from the mountain top Hear her calling coming for you It's love babe or it's death So which one will you choose? Do you follow your own dreams Or do you scheme for queens? If something beckons you Then find out what it means Don't you hesitate 'cause all you have is now Don't you as why or when When you should be asking how You can't live life without regret So make sure most of it is well spent
