Which way to the edge?
How long till we get there?
My hand on the wheel, your feet on the dash
My eyes on the road but I feel your stare
We pick her up right before the freeway
She hands me a stone smoother than money
We ask where to, she answers, "wherever"
I catch her eye in the rearview
Oh which way to the edge
Oh which way to the edge
Circles don't have an edge
That's what my mama said.
Which way to the end?
What'll we do when we get there?
Let's play eye-spy along the way
Tollbooth comes, we pay the fare.
We drop her off in front of the motel
"It's just one night, no need to worry"
I worry anyway but what can I really do
"Halfway home" you say, and maybe it's true
Oh which way to the edge
Oh which way to the edge
Oh which way to the edge
Oh which way to the edge
Which way to the start?
How long since we've been there?
I'll take us back to square one
Let's rebuild the hardware
This is more than just a road trip
The in-between is all that there really is
A and B, someone just made them up
So come chase smoke with me
Lockdown won't hold me up
Oh which way to the edge
Oh which way to the edge
Oh which way to the edge
Oh which way to the edge
Circles don't have an edge.

Night keeps following day around
Like clockwork counting down the hour till the time
When our course resets and we turn towards home
Finally unbound
Who’ll be there when we reach shore?
Will you have the key to unlock the front door?
If we arrive to a burning land
Let’s build a world designed by Creation’s hand
River she flows to the sea
Just like the blood inside me
Carves out a path in my veins
Breaking through all my chains
Water water will you wait for me
I’ll keep up, I’ll travel light, you’ll see
Side to side and over
Side to side and under
Carry me I’ll carry you
Dance with me will you
Dance with me
Will you steer for me
I’ll follow you
Follow me
I’ll steer for you
The anchor’s raised, the crew sets sail
We’re underway and way overdue
And the sea plays rough and soaks us to the bone
But we ride the waves like jailbirds
Who’ll be there when we reach shore?
Will you have the key to unlock the front door?
If we arrive to a burning land
Let’s build a world designed by Creation’s hand
River she flows to the sea
Just like the blood inside me
Carves out a path in my veins
Breaking through all my chains
Side to side and over
Side to side and under
Carry me I’ll carry you
It’s been so long since my feet touched ground
I can almost believe I was made from the sea
But my earthen heart is sprouting life
Guess it’s time for me to touch down
Who’ll be there when we reach shore?
Will you have the key to unlock the front door?
If we arrive to a burning land
Let’s build a world designed by Creation’s hand

Lighthouse shine your light and find me
I’ve floated far out to sea,
Deep waters do treat me kindly
But there’s somewhere else I’ve gotta be.
Lighthouse if you never find me
Tell them not to cry for me,
I probably found where my sealskin was hiding
Put it on and took my leave.
Underwater’s easy living
Waves will rock her right to sleep
Seaweed bows its head before her
Schools of fish spin ‘round her feet…
Nothing’s sweeter than the salty waves
when tide comes rolling in
Let’s not pull her out to quickly
She’ll stay safe in her sealskin.

There’s a hundred ways to tell a story
There are 17 letters in my name
There are infinite angles
Riddle me this:
How long until we’re all insane?
Making sense is not an easy recipe to follow
Don’t get fenced in, the ocean is anything but shallow.
Topaz, it’s 2 o’clock, there’s moss on the rock you don’t care
Jade and Amberley, why did you cut off your hair?
Citrine, my daydream, come meet me in the town square
Jasper and Moldavite, I’ll give you my love if you’ll share
Well I guess I’m just a storyteller
‘Least I don’t pretend my word is fact.
Once upon a time is never ending
‘Least I feel at home in the abstract.
Making sense is not an easy recipe to follow
Don’t get fenced in, the ocean is anything but shallow.

Citrine, my daydream, come meet me in the town square
Jasper and Moldavite, I’ll give you my love if you’ll share
*I’m not making sense*
There’s a hundred ways to tell a story
There are 17 letters in my name
If you don’t understand I will not blame you
Just remember to tell them why I came
Making sense is not an easy recipe to follow
Don’t get fenced in, the ocean is anything but shallow.

Dear Yellow

This morning I woke up to a grey sky again
It’s been weeks since I’ve seen the sun
It’s getting harder to have fun when I don’t know when
I’ll see in color again
I don’t know when I’ll see in color again.
It’s 3pm and the sun just left me for another
Now it’s just me and my candles
And my lover blue as the river.
It’s five but it feels like ten
Every now and then I just wanna lay down and sleep it off.
Wake me up when the springtime pushes through
I like blue, but I need some yellow.
Oh wintertime blues…
I asked that sun of mine
“Will you come down here and shine for me?”
But he refused.
So walk a mile in my shoes you’ll feel the freeze
Of the wintertime blues.
