lyrics

Sunshine glaring through the shield
A foreign view
First steps into the frontier
I tripped a few
Now I gaze ahead atop a wish
Smiling from my point on the fabric
A wave of light crashed over me
Stepped in the flow
Finally more like a tree, and less a stone, who only groans, and spills his guts, left with the bones, it's only luck

No it's only me
Limbs and mind
Thread my feet in the fruits of life
And I drink the juice, win or lose

Now I stretch with the earliest birds
Coffee stained beak
Just turning up stones as I search for gems to keep, the bright and sweet, chew on the flesh, spit out the seeds, on to the next
Sunshine dancing on the shield
Seeping right through
Deeper into the frontier
I skip a few, land on the beat and train my luck to guide my feet when I gaze up

I stretched my skin
Pulled out the straw
Carved my fins through a vibrant Fall
My smiles wide
Let it stretch with time

Feels nice
Wet mind
Fresh eyes
Gold mine
