Sleeptalkin' 05:05
long pause feel the time stuck cut chord we will never see the same thing thank god she’s spinning away from me simmering vacancy drifting backwards turn off the light that’s where i’ll find you at the end of the sentence i’m blind too follow the thread there is no end i’m okay woke up alive through your eyes all things shout as they fall here’s your place there’s no control we’re sleeptalkin' again here it is shining diamond center take me to the next place bursted seams i am unraveled
2.
dangling by a thread drag my face thru space my heart just woke up finally i lost my shape tip toe in the room flow so silent soft don’t want to wake you don’t want to throw this off how like a cloud to reform in your palm when i stop tryin’ the truth starts to swarm at the outer edge we merge into something else where is the center when I’m miles from myself thru the wormhole in your eye taste the infinite dissolve into whatever you transmit you transmit all your light curves bends right back atchoo eye of illusion you have to see-thru let it just let it go of holding on to the wind release what you’ve found the moonlight at sundown dimensionless in all ways dimensionless

Eureka 03:12
at the tip of my finger rang out an answer so simple i had to scream blown awake inside the dream it is! it is! right here inside of you all along you always knew but you forgot it’s within your view this is it! you exist! the world rushes in and you merge with everything we are one equals one bursting in the sun and we'll all come undone in the echo of love eureka ! the layers shed you peel back to the source beyond your head eureka ! you’ve found the the black hole inside you’ve found the black hole in your eye ! eureka there is no urge for change exactly as it needs to be ! eureka ! whatever happens is the only thing that could ! eureka who is the one who is looking? who is the one ? we will all come undone just be still and know
4.
the clocks freeze in the hospital the fog rolls in washes away the faces of strangers squeezing in i don’t know i don’t know who they are but i think i love them it’s automatic only words zooming out of time unwind a golden child again caught in the sunrise on the conveyor stretch out forever chained to a comet dragged through December you lose you’re shape if only you could remember lost in a maze on the conveyor see you on the other side looking thru brand new eyes see you in white light again the time has come wake and rise on the conveyor
5.
open sesame clear as a bell you ring currents pull the sea then warp into the air you breathe within your reach nothing to lose nothing to find its in your body it is your mind nothing is lost nothing to gain its all transparent in your brain the storm stole your ceiling you’re down on your luck now your drowning in money you own laugh wakes you up lightning zaps in yr forehead someone touches your leg it ignites in an instant then it’s gone on it’s way hydroplaning in near death speaking in tongues over the loudspeaker you forgot the question deep down beyond dreaming disappear in the muck a touch of oblivion to spin your soul up the view from up here its crystal clear nothing is wrong nothing is slight what causes you causes the light nothing to lose nothing to find it is your body it is your mind nothing to lose nothing to find lo and behold it is your mind
6.
you don’t see it coming but it’s no surprise when the doorbell rings one taut string ossifying when you get hooked on that same old dream crescendo your whole soul is rabid and it’s shiny you have to see for yourself don’t take it from no one else once undone never the same again but the porch is empty must’ve been the wind

everybody up and left here when they saw you coming up the coast line look we have no place to go! evacuate from all i know? no starting over not when I’ve come this far whatever you are erase me if you must reach down into my blood the ocean is rising up it’s heaven loosening it’s laces onto us we’ve been waiting our whole lives for this you tore across the void now you found me and so we roamed out in the vacuum while the weather thrashed drowning the buildings rainbows in your vortex trees orbiting airborne submarines whizzing past my head chew us up and spit us out it went back to the way it was before there was a way

The Wave 04:10

about

"It Is" blends spontaneous composition with lush wall of sound overdubs to create a gushing ecstatic music that reaches beyond concepts to ride the wave of nowness. This music invented itself instantly with us as witnesses. When we let go, emptiness found its form, every single thing became one thing and the music happened.

PAY WHAT YOU WANT! We love you!
