Five Fingers

Ten fingers
two ears ring
five of those fingers hold everything
how can they reach the sky? (reach the sky)
Before they even fly? (even fly)
I don’t know
but I can’t stop watching them
born so different
hanging shins
different mothers same sins
Time to let them go (let them go)
to where they’ll really show (really show)
their face to another place
We’ve lost another in two weeks
then we sit here in captivity
But why do they go? (do they go)
No one really knows (really knows)
but hey, that ain’t nothing new
Oh ain't it such a thing
to be everything in the nothing
but I wait, but I wait for a while
for a coin, for a drink, or a smile
when you’re ready, when you're ready
let me know
let me know
what it is you want

Mesquite

The water comes down
They flush to a sea
Where they get into boats
And they manage to flee
And go with the flow
As we wait like some bait
for a modern pa
to make a flaw with a law
and a new definition for “all”
Holding on
Occipital to the thumbs
Cover ears with the palms
Favorite song sung in a hum
By the velvet mesquite
Where the guards cannot see
someone sees the bright light of possibility
and when it moves
they yell “run”
Amá and apá sweat yet baby is cold
it shivers with the quivers of the 8 year old’s
concrete hold
Come out of the sun
Into the inside
A drop into the rising tide
The old won’t hold
Noé was the one who was their ideal
Forced to dream, dream until he’s real
now his touch and codes now intertwining,
the pulse silently refining
On both sides of the wall
So we see how it can fall
Cause our hands, well they move
with this electrical groove
And the dirt in our nails
becomes soil when it gets wet
from the tide

Somebody went and moved me
Out of my head
There were so many others
So many dead
Now someone’s gonna go move me
Move me around
And I’m gonna move thee
’til ground
And they’re gonna move me
All around
Until it hurts me
and I can’t hear a sound
Cause somebody’s gonna move me
Move it all around
Where did it go to?
Cause I feel it there
Stuffed it in a bag
Stuffed it on my back
There was a little wiggle inside
One I’d never felt even close to before
And it was kinda moving
Moving all around
It was just like a movie
Without any sound
But you’re gonna try and move me
Somewhere
But I’m gonna move me
Somewhere

Circles
07:07

Though we’re always running deep in circles
Circles are the way that things go
That they go
I am always running deep in circles
Hoping that I’ll come back around
Come back around
I've seen this face, I’ve seen this face, I’ve seen this face
before when I was in this circle
I've been around, I been around
I been around this circle before
Though things always running deep in circles
Circles are the way that it goes
That it goes
I knew a place
where i could just stop and sit and breath
You were in this place
They were in this place
Then we just had to keep on moving in our circles
Though things always running deep in circles
Circles are the way that it goes
That it goes
I knew a place, I knew a place where I didn’t have to run around in circles
I tried to stay there, I tried to stay there
But I couldn't stop the circles
Though things always running deep in circles
Circles is the way that it goes
That it goes
We’ll go around
I’ll come around
Hope we can be inside the same circles

The time
has come
for you
to leave
this bar
now
I’m sure
you can find something at home to do
with all that you’ve heard tonight
Walking home alone
Looking at the phone
Tell me, what's my name?
What is this game?
I’ve been walking around,
looking for some time
Tell me, what's this game?
Do I really need to know it all?
Know it all
It's time to head on home
Tell me what's your game, if you were to know it all?
All these pains so easily at hand
Tell me what's your name?
Did you play that game?
I think you did
I’m the last thing that I can play with now

I've found this state of mind
For about an hour's time
This must be the one
That means that life of fun
Maintain to keep it there
Break away, but I fear the tear
Is this what I let soar?
How do I know if I've never felt this flame before?
Pass through these states of mine
Find those I don't seem to mind
Keep the obvious ones
If only there were obvious ones
That's not true
Felt a few
Then they grew,
Disappeared and then renewed
Disguised themselves as things to fear
Now I see
Easily
Pity
The old me couldn't agree
But that's just how one goes
I try for the reasons that keep me from home
There's a fire that burns there and in my heart
I stay in fears, in hopes, that they'll become familiar
And I can know them and I can finally let them pass on by
Let me think
Too much think
Start to think
Need a drink
Start to feel it move
From the toes
To the nose
Around it goes
Does it show
Standing this moment of still
Then another comes and I don't think that I can face this one
So I run in hopes it'll stay where I used to stand
But the fire spreads all over my body
So I stop and then I drop and then, oh and then,
it's a flame
