lyrics
Aslan LP
Running scared
Heaven knows it’s the hardest thing
Trying to be brand new
Let it flood and the bluebird sing
Just let the spirit move
Down in the whale it was hard to breathe
Hard to beat my moods
I thought the trees were the forest too
And that the night ]
was a tomb (i thought the light was the moon
I was running scared
I was running away
Thought I could lose my lord
I was running scared
I was under the waves
I couldn’t lose my lord
Heaven heard i was stumbling
Everyone knows i was blue
Close your eye, you won’t hear him sing
Won’t hear him talking to you
You’ll be running scared
You’ll be running away
Think you can lose your lord
You’ll be running scared
You’ll be jumping the gate
But you cant lose your lord
all my life
I’ve been hiding a flame
It started burning the moment that you
Knew my name
Now all my love
Is an open vein
It’s pouring out of my heart
I can’t be the same
If you’re running scared
If you’re running away
You’re falling on your sword
If your running scared
If your under the waves
You better find your lord
Look up close
Look up close and theres nothing new
Just another view through the glass
A cheap guitar can still hold a tune
Nothing’s holding you to the past
Find the candle inside of you
He can only bloom if you ask
The truth is more than you ever knew
Knew the hole in you couldn’t last
If you could see what it means right now
Then you could be your higher self
Find the key to the golden cell
Where even the beast can’t reach
Every life is a point of view
And if you see it through to the last
He’ll take your heart and he’ll measure through
Every moment you ever passed
What will you say in the interview
When it’s only you to look at
Hope to feel when the knot comes loose
When He paid your dues
And you sang your tunes, oh alright
If you could see what it means right now
Then you could be your higher self
Dive deep to the golden well
Where even the beast can’t drink
And if you could teach what you feel right now
Then you could reach the higher ground
Plant the seeds in the fertile clouds
Let the rain come wash you clean
cheaper by the dozen
Beat the drum for the gentle seeker
Shake the beam from the highest steeple
Let yourself be whatever He wills
Dive down deep in the silent waters
Take a drink from the heart of all this
Underneath the waves you can hear Him calling
Its brighter than the morning
Light in all the corners
Let it fill you with the meaning
Float you to the ceiling
Bird just sing what the spirit teach it
Lift its wing where the storm won’t reach it
Never worry bout a thing cause the spirit brings it
It give just like a river
Take you to the center
It hold you like a lover
All you can discover
Shaken leaves from a willow weeping
Drink the sun like a yellow beacon
Then they fold like dreams when the seasons leavin
They’re cheaper by the dozen
Go and then their coming
The more you get to thinking
The more you start sinking
I am just a speaker
I am not alone with the truth
I am just a speaker
I am not alone with a view
Dive down deep in the silent waters
Take a drink from the heart of all this
Underneath the waves you can hear Him calling
here i am
For all my life the tears i never cried
hid underneath my eyes
Until you came and turned on every light
My heart was dark my head was fit
To overflow with lies
Your words came in like a summer wind
Now everything is fine
Oh, when i hear you call my name
Oh, then i say here i am
These eyes are mine for a little while
This head and body too
But it won’t be long until i’m back
And i’m swimming into you
How sweet it is to lift the latch
And let my spirit loose
With everyone I’ve ever loved Just floating in it too
Oh, now i understand
Oh, this was always in your hands
So many songs i never sung
I was holding here for you
Your chords are sweet
Your words are strong
Your melody is true
And if it is when i’m in this skin
That I can’t read the sign
I know i’ll learn my lesson
a little farther down the line
Oh, now i understand
Oh, this was always in your plan
sweet paradise
Shake the dust off the street
White Album on repeat
I hear the humming underneath
I point my camera at the breeze
I never was accustomed
To living through a love song
I just leave my heart open
the cards fall where they may
Now i know my way
I’m walking it till
I see my dreams
I’m hoping they will
Untangle, the Star spangled
Sea ---
Behind my eyes
Sweet paradise
Somehow the music never leaves
I heard those voices calling me
They said ask and you’ll receive
Juice aint always worth the squeeze
You leave me swinging like a clock hand
When you coming back man
I can hear the birds singing
time gases and slows
Grandfather wore it on his sleeve
I feel it pouring out of me
All the things i meant to be
All the dreams I meant to see
Let the waves come up and hit you
you’re more than what you live through
You’re unstoppable, unflappable
Time won't get in my way
one river
Branch swung back
shouldve ducked my head
Had my eyes down the trail
But my heart wasn’t listening
Sun still shines
When you close your eyes
Its a hard way to anywhere
Walking in a straight line
You can make the candle inside
Just dance with delight
No shamans gonna come
And tell you everything is so fine
We’re all one river
Ending nowhere
Starting in the sun
My radio is on
My weapon is a song
I sing it for the one
True mother of all love
Boson particles
and rocket ships
Won’t get you to the gold
Thats hidden in your own head
You can’t see to the bottom
Of a microscope
Just lost little egos
Staring right into a black hole
Don’t look now
but the fix is in
Their building souls in the wires
With their ones and zeroes
But no one knows
where it goes
it's okay
Forget the wreckage of yesterday
I check the news but it doesn’t say
What is anyone anyway
And what do we mean
The blues get me bent out of shape
I read a book, I try to find my way
It takes everything to be okay
It takes all I have
You can cry
Its okay
We’re alright
Just a phase
And the moon keeps spinning
Clouds keep drifting
Sun will shine no matter what we do anyway
It’s Okay
I get the feeling that
The world could end
It gives a feeling like I lost my friend
Ya never know what’s around the bend
That’s just the way it goes
No one’s ever gonna know your head
It doesn’t matter if you understand
It takes a lifetime to be a man
Just do what you can
All i know is what i am today
A shake of dust inside the milky way
The human heart has a lot to say
We’re searching for home
so i'm told
Sparrow laid down on a bag of bones
Said i’m too lonely to be so young
But I am
Dark glasses in the sunshine
Don’t shine in the coal mine
When i’m there
But every time the moon comes up
It says every song the wind has sung
And every night’s another bloom
As every bride goes to their groom
so i’m told
Baseball glove like novocaine
When I had it on my hand i couldn’t feel no pain
I was gone
Winding road into long nights
Think you’re lost then you’re just fine
It’s all been
Tried so hard to change my name
But every way i wrote it still read the same
It’s still mine
So i looked real long into my own eyes
And looking right back was a butterfly
Said i’m good
Now all the light fills up the room
Like a mother’s life makes another too
And if you lift the sky up inside of you
Let the stars all talk like they’ve wanted to
You can make your life what you never knew
Behind any lie There’s another’s truth
Or so i’m told
living in this room
Time’s just a fast kiss
I’ll ride the madness with you
Don’t need a mattress
I would lay (sleep) anywhere with you
I’ll lose my sadness
I’d quit my day dreams too
There is no bandage
That heals me better than you do x2
Undo your bracelet
It holds you up like a balloon
That place inside ya
Is starting to rise up like the moon
Don’t let it fight ya
Just spread it out and feel it bloom
Speak out your badness
It wraps around like a cocoon
Push out that down shit
It sticks around just like a flu
When you’re lost you’ll find it
It makes you drink
Before it’s noon
I’m so astounded
That i’m still living in this room
thanks
Sun rising in the east
Filling up the leaves
With golden dreams
The morning breeze
Blowing into me
Healing everything
That cut too deep
or wouldn’t let me be
Hearts growing everyday
Learning how to stay
where I belong
Try to right my wrongs
I know it won’t be long
It won’t be long
Till I will hear your song
And I will sing along
La la la
Ohh it’s such a lovely day
To watch the love we made
Playing out the window
These two little lives we made
My heart could break
When I wake them in the morning
Ohh it’s just your grace
It’s just your grace
That keeps my head above the water
It’s why I’m here today
To give you thanks
aslan
Oh my god I never finish what i started
But I tried to beat the truth
Oh my god i better finish what i started
And, Oh my god i will
If you would take me
Even with my lowest needs
Take me just as I am
Could you see me as
My possibilities
Could you love me just as i am
Aslan
You got your love in my hands
Aslan
You surely do
Everytime i’m getting closer to the surface
I can feel its you
All along i wasn’t closer than i started
But I’m gonna make it to you
Aslan
You got your love in my hands
Aslan
You surely do
Aslan
You got my love in your hands
Aslan
You surely do
You take me
even with my lowest needs
You see me just as I am
You know me as
My possibility
And you love me just as I am
Oh my god i couldn’t finish what I started
but I'm trying to make it to you
cause Everytime i get in closer to the center
I start to feel the truth
Aslan
You got your love in my hands
Aslan
You surely do
Aslan
You got your love in my hands
Aslan
You surely do
nothing at all
This is all I can offer
This is all I can bring myself to show
And I’d like to know what you mean
when you said you said you were out of control
Cause I’d like to know what you think
when you stay up so late all alone
Cause I came to see that the trouble you reap
is the trouble you sow
You fly from the cannon
and then you just sink like a stone
All I see is autumn growing older
It’s a dream I dream
Wait until tomorrow
It’s the song we sing
And how to be nothing at all
Is this all you can offer
Is this all you can bring yourself to show
Would you like to know what it means
to be living with all of your soul
Would you know how to hold on to nothing
when something is all you have known
Would you let spirit just take you and hold up your head
like a puppet that’s dancing out onto the ledge
To just sail into nothing and know that it all will be good
To understand nothing but know that it’s all understood
someday
Someday
you’ll realize
This was all in your head
Were you living or dead?
Was this the real life?
Or would you find
You’re already gone
Like a bird that has flown
into the west light
Are you a boy or a girl?
Are you alone in the world?
And for how long?
Are you gay are you straight
Did you realize too late
It don’t matter?
Time takes it turns
And in the meantime we learn
All we did wrong
The light shivers and fades
Then is reborn each day
Into a new world
There was a song in my heart
And it knew what I wanted
To be
At one with the lights
That shines in the night
And in my eyes
At one with the source
At rest in the lord
At peace
