Breath of the earth / Take me
to places I've never been before
To the recesses of my soul

Give to the ground gold leaves
An ecdysis of the things outgrown
In pursuit of a world unknown

May I breathe in / May I breathe in

Tides of the ocean / Cleanse me
of emotional pandemonium
Let my senses become benumbed

Surge through the mind wholly
To purify all that stirs up inside
So that I may have nothing to hide

May I breathe in / May I breathe in

Floating weightlessly
Passing through the sea

Floating weightlessly
Passing through the sea

Swaying carelessly
Grounded to be free

My Foolish Heart

Burdened soul
Do not descend
Keep your heart from traveling into darkness

Troubled soul
When you create
Keep your mind from dwelling in despair

Remember light
Believe in the promise of a better day
--
With all your might
Believe in the promise of a better day

feat. Matt Landon on Guitar

Undulance (Original)

Feeling restless deep inside
But can't articulate
Something's out of place

Mind and flesh divided
Out of strength, out of touch, out of words
Spirit left unguided
Body left unheard

Can I be cleansed
Can I be whole

Breathing in unsteadily
Stumbling, spiraling into doubt
It's weighing down too heavily
Is there a way out

Can I be cleansed
Can I be whole

Do I open the door and face the fear
Look straight ahead at what's in the mirror
Could I be something more than what now appears
Broken, open, raw, sincere

Feeling restless deep inside
Something's out of place
