i am a minnow in a stream a black bear up a tree i am everything i am the yard i was somewhat humanoid then i became a void i am infinity i am the yard i am everything i am the yard i'm not anything i am the yard i am a minnow in a stream a black bear up a tree i am everything i am the yard i was somewhat humanoid then i became a void i am infinity i am the yard like Jim Carrey said when he played Gregorian chants they brought the birds to life then he opened up his mind now he's the yard now we're the yard

i am a minnow in a stream a black bear up a tree i am everything i am the yard i was somewhat humanoid then i became a void i am infinity i am the yard i am everything i am the yard i am nothing i am the yard i've fallen for the great illusion but there are no lines that divide there are no edges and no sides i've fallen for the great illusion i am the yard i've fallen in a great confusion but there's no me now i see there never was and will not be i've fallen in a great confusion i am the yard

Blow the Leaves Away (a. Your Backyard / b. Get Rid of It / c. Artificial) 05:56
lyrics
buy track
a. Your Backyard so disconnected from the natural world you can't even recognize your own backyard sounds of streams and rustling leaves they're all foreign to your ears machines keep paving over every blade grey cold concrete city scape you block the sun, you move the rain what will it look in 40 years? you can try to blow the leaves away but the wind just blows them back your way but the weeds break the street and they push their heads right through and the rain rusts, and the wind gusts and it blows it all away you can try to blow the leaves away but the wind just blows them back your way b. Get Rid of It get rid of your car you don't need to go that far travel as far as your legs will go only carry as much as your arms can hold get rid of your head incessant chatter keeps you distracted rhythmic breathing to join in the song folded in the sounds of the universe is where you belong you can try to blow the leaves away but the wind just blows them back your way c. Artificial melted candles replaced with lights take your time and sleep at night or you'll be burning at both ends can't replace a soul with lines so tech won't be a friend of mine unreality where's it end? you can try to blow the leaves away but the wind just blows them back your way

Pick Me Up off the Ground (Umbrella Song) i ride my umbrella through the morning sky the sun's slowly waking drizzly grey pushed aside you know i know life can be beautiful if you give it one more night let me show it to you, take my umbrella for a ride and the rain falls down flip your umbrella upside down and the rain fall down come pick me up off the ground the snow's slowly melting, it trickles away the dark cold of winter was never to stay you know i know life can be beautiful with you my my side let me show it to you, take my umbrella for a ride and the snow blows in get my umbrella out again and the snow blows in let my umbrella catch the wind soon you'll know life can be beautiful when you're standing in the rain a little help from your umbrella, baby please can you just stay? when the rain falls down flip your umbrella upside down and the rain falls down come pick me up off the ground i ride my umbrella through the morning sky every storm must eventually subside take my umbrella for a ride Into the Great Unknown here we go, into the great unknown but we do it together if we do it together then we'll always find our way home here we go, into the great unknown please let's do it together yes let's do it together and we'll always find our way home Some Kind of Love some kind of love coming to you
