whats been up yo

I went to Colorado

and rafted down the Ark

I got my lip busted
and bled

and bled

and bled

but I still saw the bluffs

so proud and erect

and I still felt the water

with blood on my lip.

Then I saw mountain ranges

and I guess it seems,

they've been there awhile

with many chiefs in between

...and I squinted

and I looked through my hand-

turned in a circle,

to let certain things in-

then we went inside the park,

and climbed to a waterfall

its name Calypso

and the trees were tall

 the air swirled around us

and the rain did fall

and i sang the song

that broke down my walls.

We drove to Wyoming,

crossed the mountains in the dark,

and I could feel the gravity

and see the moon spark...

and I peered to the side

and saw deepness and dark-

and the moon reflected from my heart.

Now Im back in the home,

where the Rockies live...

and I am full enough so I can give

and I can't remember -

what my door looks like...

but I don't need it,

cause theres one in my heart.

song to slow synchopation

it is when

i am standing

all alone

and i am grabbing

for your hand

it is not found

and i am sad

your in the ground.

it is when

you take the time

to look at me

and what ive found

but your not trying

and i cant bend

this is me

until the end.

it is when

i saw the owl

in the dark

wyoming prowl

that i knew

you were looking

at me tonight

when i was sad

so i let you hold me

well i pretended

you

were
