are we really naked
or are our bodies just clever disguises?

bird and bear woman

go ahead and take my hand
we'll launch off into the air 
back to our home

bird and bear woman

when i hear my sister's song
wound about me like a blanket 
transport me back to our temple days

(the more we get together, the happier we'll be)

are we merging, or have we always been one?
bird and bear woman 

go ahead and take my hand
take my hand

i'm out of line, i'm in over my head.
you sow your seeds and i receive them.
now, i release them.

i don't know where we'll go, but i know where we won't go.
i don't know where we'll go, but i know where we won't go.

you see people, and i see tools.
you take lovers, and i take medicine--
and it doesn't taste pleasant.

i am empty, for i am infinite.
dark impulses from a body without organs.

desiring machines

take me home to the rocks and stones, where the sun don't shine and the greens don't grow.
take me home to the rocks and stones, where the salmon swims and the oak trees know.

(maiden)
i don't need your help.
i will situate myself so that i don't need your help.
i'd rather sit pretty at the gates of hell.

(mother)
saddle up now, buckle down
i am gonna take you for a ride.
come on by, get nice and fed
i've got a home for your weary head.
you want in?

(crone)
you can take my beauty, you can take my life with time.
you can take my beauty, you can take it i don't mind.
you can take my beauty, you can take my life with time.
you can take my beauty, you can take it, it's not mine.

from the ocean,
toward the ocean.

i know more than i should know,
for someone who’s never really even been here before.

you know more than you should know,
for someone who’s never really even seen me before.

the hanged man,
waiting in the bardo 
to be exposed. 

i don’t know who you think you are.
you're someone whose never really even seen me before.

i just know who you say you are.
you're someone i've never even really seen before. 

the hanged man,
waiting in the bardo
to be exposed.

so, this is how it ends. 
how did it begin again?

so, this is where it ends.
where does it begin again?

the hanged man,
waiting in the bardo 
to be exposed.

"i don't know what you mean by that...

"but i certainly know what i think you mean by that."

[dorky laugh]

"you're just implying that, why would you be translucent when you can be transparent?"

[vocal entropy ensues]

"translucence is voluntary.

"that's your line. you're probably gonna bop hard on that one."

the idiographic 
human knower, 

being-in-the-world,
undressed and ready.

presenting presents 
with effortless action.

strange friends fit together
in space, 

calling each other 
by their secret names.

standing outside of time,
knowing everything is in its right place.

it'll all make sense one day.
for now, be content to keep wondering.

funny how those who claim to love mystery,
suddenly reveal themselves to me.

i submit myself to you,
cycles of growth and decay.

let it all fall away.

knower

it’s super salient to me
it’s super salient to me
what we’re all supposed to be
what will be

every element
in harmonious tension

the stars have been so kind considering
the stars have been so kind considering
how dead they seem 

every element 
comes together in 
harmonious tension
recursive relevance realisation

theory of mind

i like to put all of my feelings in boxes.
i like to stack all of my thoughts around them.
i like to find answers and have doubts about them,
and when i get hungry, i like to forget.

i like to go down by the docks and pretend i know how to swim.
i like to pretend that all of the fishies and snapping turtles are my friends.
i like to pretend i know how to swim.
i like to pretend.

i place my hand on the ground and i see the sacred mother and father of this land.
i like to pretend they aren't familiar faces.
i like to pretend i don't know anything.

i like to pretend.
i like to pretend my visions are not prophecies.
i like to pretend.
i like to pretend i don't know anything.

i like to pretend.

visions, not prophecies

beneath the snow, with skulls and bones,
in cold, in dark, i mould my home.
i toss my heart into a flame again,
for once, i feel no pain.

in cold and dark, i dissipate.
no time for haste.
we merge our divine bodies,
we grow like outer space.

beyond my cave, apollo waits.
we play like divine bodies,
we merge like outer space.

in warm and bright, i dissipate.
no time for haste.
emerge, our divine bodies.
we glow like outer space.

implicate order

my lover tends a fire with the coldest of air.
he’s the bluest of eyes and the fairest of hair.
i’m bringin' my songs, for him to sleep i’ll sing,
i’m bringin' my hopes to hand him everything.

o, i am my mother, my mother is me.
little ladders twist and tell me what i will be.
i bear her burdens before i can speak,
it ran in our family, 'til it ran into me.

i’m bringin' my heart, and i’m bringin' my hands.
i’m bringin' my body across foreign lands.

little bird inside of me, she will be free.
it ran in our family til it ran into me.
the bodies are a-burnin, the bodies smell foul.
it is she who plants flowers in the cold charnel grounds.

and i’m bringin my heart, and i’m bringin my hands.
i’m bringin' my hopes to hand her everything.

he knows, but does he know what he knows?

cellular memory of past embodiments 
of the tyrant
what will you choose to be this time around?

he knows, but does he know what he knows?

he knows what he knows

delusions, siren spells
plans and prophecies
only time will tell
you're gonna need more than two eyes to see
