Lyrics:
So what if we clash
we can make it happen
Make it happen
we can make it happen

There's a warming trend
Time to get ripe now
Push that mountain
I said push that mountain
Our yields won't budge
But we can push that mountain

Go down yellow
Slide down the spectrum
Green, citrine dream ,
eternal spring Green

Green, we're tight
It's time to get loose now
Scream high C
We're gonna get loose now

Go down yellow
Slide down the spectrum
Green, citrine dream ,
eternal spring Green
we can't wait for the summer sun.
we can't wait for the summer to come

Lyrics:
Life opens up and swallows me whole 
When I’m not looking 
The world missed a turn 
The floor underneath it starts slipping 
When did it happen? I didn’t notice 
When the song ended 
The one chance I had 
Was in the wind It won’t return again 
I’m in the wind
This is a sign

Look in the direction 
Of all that’s been wanting 
We’re already there 
We all need a target 
That we see from space 
This is a sign This is a sign 
This is a sign 

It’s easy to get stuck in the red 
When you forget 
You get a choice, we are in control 
Caught up in the drama 
Life can go on without it 
This is a sign This is a sign 
This is a sign This is a sign 

Where we shift our focus
That becomes real 
Reject what’s not worthy 
This is a sign This is a sign 
This is a sign This is a sign 
This is a sign

This Is A Sign

Steady, Over

Little sister
hold your head up high
let the magic flow through 
as you hold in the tide 
skyscrapers and heavy beams
you’re made of stronger things
tightrope across
and let loose your wings
Say the words, rip it free 
it was your gift all along
Don’t need feathers  
or help from anyone
You’re okay alone

Message sent, hold your breath  
Steady, over
make the drop, now ascend
along with everybody else
Message received, now descend
Steady, over
find your rage, reel it in
along with everybody else
Little brother 
follow your good nights
sleep it off and recognize  
the world is yours 
to gain
Let it climb and oscillate  
you surge and palpitate 
you’re iron and electric
you knock yourself out
Are you with it  
Dig in your heels
Relax 
into the ground, settle in

Message sent, hold your breath  
Steady, over
make the drop, now ascend
along with everybody else
Message received, now descend
Steady, over
find your bearing
 and get clear
along with everybody else
Steady, over
along with everybody else
Steady, over  
along with everybody else
Steady, over
along with everybody else
Steady, over

Steady, Over

These bones are settled
Stuck in mud
And never found again
A missing person, a chalk outline
Of the one who was within

When the sun shined bright in golden air
Life was golden too
When the river's crossed
It never feels like the first time you went through

The places are there
But everyone has up and gone
A whole deserted town
On the inside of my heart

Oh, I'm alive
At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Without a home

Oh, I'm alive
At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Alone

Someone, please look for me
I'm in the cracks again
The animator's up and left
A walk-in who forgets

What it's like to really live
Track the clues that you left
My heart is beating out
I'm lost in the woods again

With the ghosts of those
Who were everything
They live inside my chest

Oh, I'm alive
At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Without a home

Oh, I'm alive
At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Alone

Oh, I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive

At the same time, I'm not
These bones were never meant to be
Alone

These Bones

In my mind there are versions of me
Upgraded figments polished and neat
They look like such winners near my losing streak
I'm stuck on the bow of a downtrodden ship

How do you get out ahead
And live on the sails that you made for yourself
How loud can you yell
I'm not dead yet

I'm setting my beat to some other song
Dragging my feet over what I did wrong
If I could see myself rise to the places I shun
The wilderness in me blooms barely begun

How do you get out ahead
And live on the sails that you made for yourself
How loud can you yell
I'm not dead yet
Mmmmhmmm

There's a wisdom that's earned with living this long
You dodge all the bullets but mis-recollect
How to dance with abandon and call down the gods
To live in the moment and savor each breath

How do you get out ahead
And live on the sails that you made for yourself
How loud can you yell
I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet

Not Dead Yet

I wrote this for my friend Bones who passed away in 2023. There's a fancier version around somewhere with real guitarists but this version is special because it's the first thing I wrote while attempting to learn the guitar so it's 100% me.

I was a careless fool
I would have done anything for you
We had it all figured out
We could run away and work it out

Step on, baby ride the wind
Leave behind foreshadowing
You're still right here
Drop the throttle get in gear
We'll meet on the other side of life

I'll always care for you
Biker poet, soft spot for you
It's hard to make all my feelings out
Get on your wheels and run them down

Step on, baby ride the wind
Leave behind foreshadowing
You're still right here
Drop the throttle get in gear
We'll meet on the other side of life

Take me where I've never been
the next we meet again
I'll take a chance and let you in
In the next life when we met again
Goodbye biker poet, goodbye friend

Take me where I've never been
Take me where I've never been

Step on, baby ride the wind
Leave behind foreshadowing
You're still right here
Drop the throttle get in gear
We'll meet on the other side of life

Biker Poet

Vocals, Lyrics and Melody by Tracy Hayden

Let me sway within your limbs
Til I am right again
Sway with me sway
Until your leaves begin to change
I've gone to seed and molded
Powered down the lamp within
Stray from a life of wanting
Be here now instead
Stray with me stray
Until we are air and branches
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we all come from
Swim in the Wallkill River
Dissolve under the bridge
Swim with me swim
Until our bodies still
The siren souls call out to us
With silver on their lips
Breathing fire into us
Until we are born again
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we all come from
Sway with me sway
Let's dance until the end
A symphonic grand lament
To our own requiem
We strayed, now we're grieving
We bathed until the drain
Let out all the water
And she lit the fires again
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we all come from
She kindles, we all burn
By our own hands
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we all come from
Sway with me sway
On the road to Maple Grange
Oh sway with me sway
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we belong
Where we belong
Where we belong
Sway with me sway
Let's dance until the end

Our history, is a book with many pages
The ink runs off and seeps into the spaces
That we never filled
Too scared to ruin the blankness
Kisses never stolen
Mythic pieces of a story between us.
I have known for a long time
I have known since the day that we met
The energy that greets me
When your body’s close to mine
Is the real thing.
We’re the first ones the OG’s
You are Adam I am Eve
We drank from the cups deep in forgetting
Our marks are fading
Against my hope that’s copper bright
You’re a penny in my fountain, I’ve been waiting
For you to make some moves
Now I’m writing this song about you.
I carry you with me
A background process in my chest
Quiet wanting no mater who I’m with
Or how far apart we are.
I have known for a long time
I have known since the day that we met
The energy that greets me
When your body’s close to mine
Is the real thing.
That night under the stars
With the Three Sisters in our eyes
When your face was in my hair
I was carried off somewhere
I might have died right then and there
My soul in time with yours.

I am kindling when we’re close
A puff of air, a tiny spark

I’m engulfed again
Burned in my love for you.
I have known for a long time
I have known since the day that we met
The energy that greets me
When your body’s close to mine
Is the real thing.

Hum Out the Ending

I'll hum the song
And put you to bed.
You sleep standing up,
I know you're spent.
Put down your head.
I'll hum the song
And put you to bed.
You're never by yourself.

If in the dawn you won't wake,
So many souls will gather near you.
I won't let myself break.

I'll hum the song
And put you to bed.
I need you to stir
And breathe on your own again.

I'll hum to you,
I'll hum to you
Until it's time.
You're not alone.
I won't let myself break.

Trust me, I know
In every corner of my heart
You were ready to go.

I'll hum to you,
I'll hum to you
Until it's time.

You're not alone.
You're not alone.
You're not alone.

It's so easy to see,
No easy endings, endings.

Trust me, I know.
Trust me, I know.

Hum Out the Ending

Lyrics by Bones The Poet

Cellular drift,
Over magnetic fields,
High-tension wires,
I can't feel it anymore.
Cellular drift,
In a spaceship,
Concrete over cliffs,
I can't taste it anymore.
Cellular drift,
My mind's on slip,
Backstepping my way to a future which doesn't exist

Prehistoric trees,
Capsule record sound machine,
Keep it running, let it stream,
Sun
nuclear
sets,
humans dream.
Cellular Drift,
I can't taste it anymore.
Cellular drift,

I've always thought it was strange how we humans are always putting people up on pedestals. We fixate on celebrity and believe ourselves to be less than our highest ideals. In the 90's I met a Shaman, who taught me about the ways in which I was giving other people my power. This song is about that.

Zenith

Fueled by adoration
You're a God who floats above
How did you get to be so high?
Standing on the shoulders
Of the willing and the blind
Mighty in my mind
All the power that I give you
You'd ignite a thousand stars
I'm building temples for you
With stones made from me

It's time to take it back 
and accept it for my own
I'll put up my own altar 
and decorate my throne
I’ll be 
a pillar to myself
A Zenith with no apologies
I want roses under my feet
And accolades that I have earned
I won’t give them away anymore


I’ll wear the laurels 
That I made for  you
and re-inflate my size
Until I'm everything you are
And a little more than that, to me

Caught up in illusion
Like a fangirl at a show
I gave you all my energy 
You’re larger than life
A 10 foot tall idol
I handed you my sovereignty
If there’s blame to place
We can agree it is my own
I’ll take the lashes





It's time to take it back 
and accept it for my own
I'll put up my own altar 
and decorate my throne
I’ll be 
a pillar to myself
A Zenith with no apologies
I want roses under my feet

Lyrics:
Hooker heels, fishnets, red lips 
gain you inches 
Loud mouths, hot gales, stale air on the subway 
You need catch and release you hightail it to the city 
You think you're safe 
But you don't know where 
Don't know where you live 
You don't know where 
Don't know where you live 
You're nowhere... 
Stiff drinks, strobe lights 
dance like a pornstar 
Secret rooms, back doors, sounds rip up the airwaves 
Heart's on the lam running wild in a street chase 
Cops won't come because you're already detained 
Kiss me 
Kill me 
The night tries to bend 
you eat shit on the pavement 
Scraped legs, long looks 
though you're not phased 
You think you're safe 
But you don't know where 
Don't know where you live 
Don't know where 
Don't know where you live 
You're nowhere...catch and release 
catch and release

You’re not hearing me though I’m "on"
Am I too loud?
Is my message wrong?
Your sideshow 
Bursting bubbles at my seams
Your truth about me can be yours to keep

Evergreen 
I am Evergreen

You can’t see me with makeup on
Am I too tall?
Is my gender wrong?
Wear your own curses 
They won’t fit on me
Convert your fear to shame but don’t blame me

Evergreen 
I am Evergreen

Is that your playbook
I’m written on
Am I too much for you?
Are you too turned on?
You count my lovers I’ll be loving me
Speak your soft distain
I rebel
You’re not hearing me though I’m "on"
Am I too loud?  
Is my message wrong?
