Turmoil of Winter

My super power has a dark side
I get so lost when it washes over me
I do my very best to keep it from you
and just when I think I am doing ok
I find myself sinking again
This infection that eats away at me
is never kind, it's never fair
and so what? Sometimes I feel sorry for myself
but don't I have the right? don't have the right?
Ooh ooh ooh...
My kind of beauty breeds a darkness
it kicks me down and seals me in
most of the world would prefer if we
just disappeared and slipped away
This infection that eats away at me
is never kind, it's never fair
and so what? Sometimes I feel sorry for myself
but don't I have the right? don't I have the right?
Ooh ooh ooh...

Monster
05:17
|

I swallowed the last of your innocence as your hand closed around my throat
I made you my monster beautiful and cruel strange and cool
but I couldn't keep you and you wouldn't be told oh no
so go and break a thousand hearts before you finally come home
But lover please hurry back
‘cos I need a little monster in my man
oh lover please hurry back
‘cos I need a little monster in my man
You opened the box and let me climb in pulling you in
I took you by the hand and led you down to the fair
where every monster has a place and every freak can find a friend
a whole new world I turned my head and you were gone
Oh lover please hurry back
‘cos I need a little monster in my man
oh lover please hurry back
‘cos I need a little monster in my man
I swallowed the last of your innocence as your hand closed around my throat
I made you my monster beautiful and cruel strange and cool
but I couldn't keep you and you wouldn't be told oh no
so go and break a thousand hearts before you finally come home
Of all good things mortals lack
hope in the soul alone stays back
of all good things that mortals lack
hope in the soul alone stays back...

Pops Jig
03:27
|

When I was a little girl
you seemed like a giant to me
standing only five foot tall
full of wisdom and of glee
Then you took me by the hand
and led me down into the trees
eating bananas off the baum
and sweet beans from the vine
Your garden became my escape
into a world of wonder
easing all the pain I carried
getting lost in tales you told
your garden became my escape
a magic place I ran to
by the sea we searched for treasure
collecting shells and dinosaur eggs
But father time he can be cruel
stealing your memory year by year
until you lost part of your self
and your bones no longer kept you safe
But the body could not crush the soul
of the little bloke who charmed us all
your spirit warm it lingers on
a bigger heart I've never known
Your garden it was my escape
into a world of wonder
easing all the pain I carried
getting lost in yarns you told
and your garden it was my escape
a magic place I ran to
now these memories are my treasure
locked inside I keep them safe

On The Wind
04:02
|
|||
As I take my leave from this place
hurtling through the air I must find peace
underneath the dead skin as it peels away
Shifting of frequency
tapping into energy under feet
and in the air in this healing I do believe
Leaving all I know an unknown fate
merry of soul I contemplate
ride the light of the moon by the stones where the sea begins
On the wind I hear it calling to me
on the wind I hear although I can not see I believe
on the wind I hear it cooing to me
on the wind a weight lifting across the breeze, across the breeze
As I take my leave from this place
hurtling through the air I must find peace
underneath the dead skin as it peels away
On the wind I hear it calling to me
on the wind I hear although I can not see I believe
on the wind I hear it cooing to me
on the wind a weight lifting across the breeze, across the breeze
Farewell to the city lights
farewell to old scars
my heart longs for a new born life
and this hunger leads me far...

Seal Song
03:05
|

And so the day begins
they pull up, a 12 man crew
armed with clubs and guns
but this is not a war they'll see you coming
they can barely swim, some are only 12 days old
There's a kind of local competition here
out on the ice floes to immobilize as many babies as possible
then they'll come back later to finish the job
skin them alive, skin them dead
it doesn't matter to them
So go on stand tall
I dare you!
to wear your suits and your excuses
be prepared to fall
‘cos I'll be damned if my taxes
are paying for this killing spree
So I ask you
how can Canadians sit by?
and let this horror unfold
day after day, year after year
where did we go wrong have we no compassion at all?
it really breaks my heart
So go on stand tall
I dare you!
to wear your suits and your excuses
be prepared to fall
‘cos I'll be damned if my taxes
are paying for this killing spree
Oh however you spin it
you can make excuses
you can try to live with yourself
oh however you tell it
calling up statistics
washed down in a bloodbath for cash
oh however you sell it
it all comes down to business
it all comes down to greed over life
greed over life
greed over life
life, life, life
And so the day begins...

Smoke and Light
02:45
|
|||
I hold my breath ‘cos here's another girl
who fails to move or challenge the roles
we parade ourselves in afraid to be bold
when she opens her mouth
she has nothing real to say
But I am longing for some mystery
a little smoke and light to lead me across that bridge
electric shocks to wake me up, to shake me up
to remind me where I've been
on a goddess I can depend
who'll rattle my bones
Her pretty blonde hair and the way her body moves
to the cliched words must make you feel safe
they say put down the pistol we don't want trouble here
just be sweet and calm and do your job
and leave this well alone
But I am longing for some mystery
a little smoke and light to lead me across that bridge
electric shocks to wake me up, to shake me up
to remind me where I've been
on a goddess I can depend
Who'll rattle my bones
who'll take the safety off when when I need it most
who'll rattle my bones
cutting through the bullshit to the place I begin
who'll rattle my bones

With Every Beat
03:15
|
|||
With every beat in my body
and all the air in my lungs
with all the heart I can carry
beneath the strength of my bones
I intend to flush it out for good
squeeze it through my pores
sink it like a stone before you know
With every beat in my body
I'll use my shoulders to steer
I’ll work my legs to drive me forward
open my eyes to light the way
I intend to flush it out for good
squeeze it through my pores
sink it like a stone before you know
I'm gonna float into the light
gonna let it take me up
‘cos I've been holding on too long
and things have gotta change
I'm gonna float into the light
gonna cut this weight and drift away
‘cos I've been holding on too long
and things have gotta change…
Open up your mind just walk away
open up your mind walk away
With every beat in your body
and all the air in your lungs
with all the heart you can carry
beneath the strength of your bones

A trick of winter when the snow melts
sleeping green leaves awake waiting in the dirt
there is beauty in the bend of the trees
elegant wooden limbs and fingers much like ours
stretch up to the sky
An ancient longing to be understood
to find our place in harmony
but most of us don't know what we've lost
Plugged into a programmable world
where we sell our souls and breathe through screens
living and loving through buttons and keys
And the birds are singing, can you hear them? can you hear them? la da da
they know this magic, they will not forget because they need to la da da
Leave the city, shake off the concrete dust, to remember yourself to remember yourself
la da da, la da da, la da da remember yourself
I get lost in the curve of the hills
sticky mud anchors me to the earth
because my boots are too big
they stop me from flying
maybe if I had bare feet it would be different
Between branches the lazy breeze sings a kind of sleepy song
clearing my lungs and chest
so I can find my voice again
And the frozen river is coming undone
as she yawns I pass her by
and take a long drink from her stream
And the birds are singing, can you hear them? can you hear them? la da da
they know this magic, they will not forget because they need to la da da
Leave the city, shake off the concrete dust, to remember yourself to remember yourself
la da da, la da da, la da da remember yourself
