Four Songs

Operation Spirit
Good Pain
Heaven Wore A Shirt
Negation

1. Operation Spirit

Heard a lot of talk about the ocean

Heard a lot of talk about the sea

Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things

Never meant that much to me

Heard a lot of talk about my spirit

Heard a lot of talk about my soul

But I decided that anxiety and pain

Were better friends

So I let it go

Did you let it go?

Let's get it back

Let's get it back together

Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus

A man of love, and a man of strength

But what a man was two thousand years ago

means nothing at all to me today

He could have been telling me about my

higher self

But he only lives inside my prayer

So what he was may have been beautiful

But the pain is right now

And right here

Let it go!

Let it go!

Let it go, my friend

And let's get it back

Let's get it back together

2. Good Pain

He said, he said, he said

"There was nothing to fear boy"

And he said, he said, he said,

"Worthless are you tears boy"

"Just realize you senses

And realize you earth

Just realize your essence first"

I'll never be the same again

I want to walk in the sun

I am alive and well again

No more bittersweet

No more good pain

No more

So many of us stand in the middle

Looking back to the worst

Looking forward to the fall

Making weapons of peace for the defense

Of the bloodstains on our

Peaceful sidewalks

You say the buildings got too tall

And they're going to fry your brother

Well I say you'd better walk away, walk

Away, away, away

And find your mother

No more bittersweet

No more good paid

If I can't sing this song

And tell you all about it

Then I'll just pack it up right now and

walk away

Don't even doubt it

So when our sherry glass is full

And the day is way too young

You'd better sip today, sip today, sip today,

Before it's done

No more bittersweet

No more good pain

3. Heaven Wore A Shirt

Suddenly she came

Like a come that comes and goes

With a sweetness in her eyes

And a ring between her nose

Walking down the beach

We saw a castle made of pain

We went inside

Rings were exchanged

And heaven wore a shirt

that said

I really, really, really ove you

I really, really, really love you

Suddenly it came

Into my mind not preconceived

A dream of many oceans

And not the God that I believed

But like the come that came and went

My mind just had to intercede

The need for repetition arose

Now heaven wears a shirt

that says

I really, really, really got to have you

4. Negation

Never used to be so tired

Never used to be so anxious

Never said "used to be" so much

If this is love then I

Have been so sorely mistaken

If this is peace then I

Have been so falsely awakened

Please don't tell me what love is

Let's look together

And find out what love is not

I've been to every book

I've been to every seer

In order to find the truth

As if it lives somewhere

I want to uproot my violence

I want to live like a saint

I want to give up everything

Just like the businessman wants to gain

Just like the businessman wants to gain

Please don't tell me what peace is

Let's look together

And find out what love is not
