lyrics

I swam in from the ocean,
Upstream towards the origin,
With the base of the mountain,
Calling out to my heart.
Though the journey be slow,
For I know not where to go
I'll search a lifetime for the mountains,
Calling out to my heart.

You know it to be the truth,
Ignited, a spark will never lose its meaning...

Give up on song to learn singing,
Give up on love to learn loving,
Give up on life to learn living,
For to arrive is to depart.
And if my body be cannon fodder,
Belly up before the slaughter,
Let it explode beneath the water,
For to arrive is to depart.
You know it to be the truth,
Ignited, a spark will never lose its meaning...

Brothers and sisters, sisters and brothers!
It began with an inhale
And it'll end with an exhale.
Brothers and sisters, sisters and brothers!
We're all born dreaming,
And we all die conceiving!


We! (We!) Swam! (Swam!) In! (In!) From the ocean! Up! (Up!) Stream! (Stream!) Towards! (Towards!) The origin!

In 2013 it spent a winter in Olympia, WA to recount in song an ode to all Liminal Animals before disappearing into the high desert. ... more
