I Am the Ocean (Oceanic)

To the oceans found on my cheeks
You dive deep
To the coral reefs
I’ve lost you
I’ve lost you
I’m lost I can barely see
Where are you? Do you see me?

From the oceans flowing in my brain
There is pain
I’ve gone insane
I’ve scared you
I’ve scared you
I’m scared can you understand?
Take my hand from beneath the sand

Will you dive up through the pouring rain
To meet me at the shoreline of my veins
Instead you move with such buoyancy
Looking down at me
Looking right through me

Buried in the waters of my soul
There is more
At the ocean floor
What are they?
These treasures
Hidden so long from me
Please reveal all your secrecy

In the oceans traveling through your heart
You’re torn apart
By her poisonous dart
She cut you
She cut you
So cut through her scathing grip
Salty water drips from your lonely lips

Will you dive up through the pouring rain
To meet me at the shoreline of my veins
Instead you move with such buoyancy
Looking down at me
Looking right through me

Tears (Oceanic)

I’ve told you once and I’ll tell you again
For two and a half years I thought we were the best of friends
That’s gone
It ends

Tears, my dear, tears

How to go back when there was nothing there?
You’re smiling at me but I just look at you and stare
We fall
Apart

We’ve fallen apart
There’s nothing you can do to change my heart
We’ve fallen apart
So has my heart

Tears, my dear, tears

My weaknesses are too much for your strengths
How much more can you take?
I see you
Give in

Tears, my dear, tears

Don’t get to think that I’m the last name on your list
Again your lovely lips will be kissed
You have
The world

We’ve fallen apart
There’s nothing you can do to change my heart
We’ve fallen apart
There’s nothing you can do to change my heart
We’ve fallen apart
There’s nothing you can do to change my heart
We’ve fallen apart

So has my heart

Song of the Islander II (Oceanic)

My hopes a boat, I float across the sea
Into your arms I’m wishing that we’ll finally meet
I dive from my platform up in the sky
Hoping you’ll catch me, hoping you’ll catch me before I die

My life’s a lonely island far from truth
All I have are broken memories of you
They’re barely there they’re barely even real
Yet I give them life with all that I feel

La di da la di da la di da

You think my smile was crafted by the years
I’ve been alone with all of my worst fears
Sure that’s it, but there is just a tad bit more
I asked for this, I asked to smile into the shores

You think my word has died with my name
Those who knew me think that I have gone insane
But you’re the fool, see sinking in your moat
A corked bottle and my words on a note

La di da la di da la di da

Caves (Oceanic)

Your shadow gave me such a fright, cast on cave walls
Our adventure comes to a pause, I see the flaws
I’ve been here maybe in a dream, so it seems
Life and love, somewhere in between

You say it’s not so scary, not so scary
Whisper again, not so scary, not so scary

Stalactite tears drip to the floor, night and day
Haunted beings frozen in their place, to live this way
I think I’m losing how to feel, will I heal?
‘Til I’m found in purgatory

You say it’s not so scary, not so scary
Whisper again, not so scary, not so scary
You yell down, not so scary, not so scary
Tell me again, not so scary, not so scary

I’ve sold the vessels to my heart, to that one cave
And to our culture, I am a slave, down to the grave
I’d never know I was alone, was I shown?
Paid the price to call this my home

You say it’s not so scary, not so scary
Whisper again, not so scary, not so scary
I would say, do you love me, do you love me?
Say it again, do you love me, do you love me?

Fireweed (Single)

Fire in the valley, in my heart
You were a world away, a world apart
Fire in the trees carried by the breeze
Can’t get away from me, so you’re waiting idly

You fought me so and I gave out all of me
Oh, you fought me so, resisting endlessly

Your change of heart, you do deceive
The wrathful fire and the fires of peace
You open up to the flames in me
And I’m not looking for a fireweed
No, I’m not looking for a fireweed
No

Fire in my dancing, in my soul
You were just watching me, we took a toll, we took a toll
Fire in the past, lighting up the grass
See, nothing ever lasts, and we’re waiting idly

You fought me so and I gave out all of me
Oh, you fought me so, resisting endlessly

Your change of heart, you do deceive
The wrathful fire and the fires of peace
You open up to the flames in me
But you’re gone away in my time of need
And I’m not looking for a fireweed
No, I’m not looking for a fireweed
No

No, no

Your change of heart, you do deceive
The wrathful fire and the fires of peace
You open up to the flames in me
But you’re gone away in my time of need
Show you now, it shows your greed
And I’m not looking for a fireweed
No, I’m not looking for a fireweed
No, I’m not looking for a fireweed

Love Of Mine (Urban Wildlife – EP)

No, not today
Not those three words
Though I want you to stay
I can’t hear this from you

Please ask again
In a week, a month, or two
Right now I just can’t say
I’m head over heels with you

And oh! I hear the sigh
You think I’ve passed you by
And oh! Don’t you cry
If I couldn’t be there by your side
And oh! We’ll try another time
Some day you’ll be the only love of mine

Valentine’s Day
I wrote you a card
Though you wrote one for me too
Mine was from the heart

“Roses are red
Violets are blue
We could be more than friends
Since I’m in love with you”

And oh! I hear the sigh
I think you’ve passed me by
And oh! I could cry
If I couldn’t be there by your side
And oh! I ask just one more time
My dear, you are the only love of mine

Thank You (Mister Medicine Man) (Urban Wildlife – EP)

The twinkle of you eye is in the clouds
With the raindrops trickling down
You remind me to wait
For the sunny smile

Just let me say
You gave me
Everything
I need
To brave this weather

When I go out
In my sailboat
On the waters
Of the mirror
Just let me say thank you

I’ll lend you an ear if you lend me your words
I promise I listened before and I heard

You behaved like the calm before the storm
Your words prevent my harm
You said it’s only so bad if
You think it’s the worst

You’ve changed my life so well
And I just can’t lose this
Path I’m on right now

The softest touch you gave is in the breeze
Telling me to believe
I’ll worry ’bout you ‘cuz
You deserve to be happy

Captive (Urban Wildlife – EP)

I’ve got to go
I’ve got to run
I’ve got to get myself out of here
I’ve got to move
Got nothing to lose
‘Cept your tireless abuse

My heart’s your little captive
(Chained to your numbness, /
Chained to broken promise, /
Chained from my crazy mind, /
Chained to our losses,)
Yet if
You extend out to me
I’ll give up gratefully

My body aches
This is what it hates
Only my world shakes
Your empty words
Your stares that curse
Pained lips stay pursed

Thought these were true
The thoughts of residue
And now I’m stuck with both of you
Can I cut it out
Maybe slow it down
Anything before I drown

I hoped for more
To settle some score
Go back to what we were before
What I had expected as I’m no longer rejected
Now our relationship’s defective

Gorgeous (Urban Wildlife – EP)

Last night in my dreams I saw your face
So powerful it’s something that I can’t erase
From my mind after all of these years
And now look at my face with tears

And I tried to be gorgeous for you
I tried to be lovely and good
But in a world where definitions rule
I don’t know what I should be,
What I should

And there’s nothing more beautiful than love
But I feel like what I do isn’t enough
And I try to get closer to you
But I know that what I’m doing isn’t getting through
