lyrics

Stranger at my door knocking loudly
Crying at the night asking for me
Cannot push him out of here he came to show me
So we go walking into town
Pull my courage as we 'round the corner
Bring the dawn to break the night

Down the street
Wheels and feet
Must I go meet
To be and be becoming

Snakes under the kitchen sink
Dangling from the trees
In the vibrant green countryside
Squished in the legs of my jeans
They come following but you can't tame a wild thing
No
What lays hidden under leaves
Bare as hives in January trees
The sound inside no one ever hears

The drone of alone
The sound and the flow
Of water as it goes
To be and be becoming

A hole to find and hide in
A forrest near and deep
Pull the greenery over
And steady myself to keep

I will keep still in this hole
Free and still
and be in the becoming

There is no
There is home
There is water and there is smoke
Slow the pace to held and holding
Mind maps space then back to the beginning
Where there is always recognition
And substantial confusion
There is always some movement
