Pressure

Shovel and bucket in her hand
Will her sandcastle stand?
Will the waves wash it away
Before she’s done?
Look at what she’s made
Only her hands could dream of that
All of a sudden it changes
The years, the years they change us
If you want it all
Then take my hand and fall into
Take a chance and fall
What do you have to lose?
Pressure, pressure
Fear is all that’s left
What you can’t see
What you can’t hide from
Irrational/rational
Can I take any more?
Pressure, pressure
Fear is all that’s left
If you want it all
Then take my hand and fall into
Take a chance and fall
What do you have to lose?
Dour and down you’ll find
Death watches us all
And with the sweet comes the sour
Pocket knife blood line forever
We’ll even die on the same day
Star shaped
Petals fly in the night
Black across the moon
She had one green eye and one blue

My Goldmine
04:37
|

Living like we could die tomorrow
I’m high on your smile
What it’s like to be held by you
What it’s like to be
Always wondering why
What was mine now is yours
What’s inside me now
Is like a goldmine
Look inside, find the hole
What’s inside me
Now is yours, my goldmine
Jump on three
Sky above and water below
Lover breathe…
Happy, I am older now
Lover please, take me underneath
Deep down
In darkness we climb
Your lungs fill with cyanide
What was mine now is yours
What’s inside me now
Is like a goldmine
Look inside, find the hole
What’s inside me
Now is yours, my goldmine

Fortress
04:27

Too close to home
Not far away enough
Too close to home
Not far away enough for me
Within a fortress
Of a broken heart
Enclosed in golden gates
Jaded but awake
Awaits a warrior
Ready to fight
For understanding
Till the end of time
Too close to home
Not far away enough

Was there a witnessing
Did you think that you were dying
Were you renewed
Were you born again
Was anything you wanted missing?
Serpent seep, set me free
Leave my body
The crooked lines you left on me
Won’t wash from my skin but
I’ll keep untangling, untangling
Well you can’t seem to see
The forest through the trees
And if you could, would it change a thing
Or like Mary would you be crying?
Serpent seep, set me free
Leave my body
The crooked lines you left on me
Won’t wash from my skin but
I’ll keep untangling, untangling
Well last night I tangled with the serpent
And this time she looked a little different
And it’s our right to bear the burden, of his wrongs
Untangling, untangling
Untwisted from within

Roses In My Hair
03:12

Put roses in my hair
Like my mother put roses in her hair
Will I ever put roses in my hair
Like my mother did?
Lift your spirits Rose, rise up
Hang roses round your room
Like your mother did
Hang the roses round your room
For your mothers, for your mothers
Forever, forever

Traveler

He started out in the 70’s
Just trying to be
Who he wanted to be
My momma too
She found the road
She found herself
At least I hope so?
Like skipping stones
Across the water
They traveled long ways
To find each other
He road his bike
She hitched a ride
And a few more on down the line
From Minnesota to California
She could have found him
Across the border
To Wisconsin
Where he was leaving
It all behind, to find a new life
This family line that I’m a part of
Always reminds me to trust my heart
What do you want?
Take every chance, chance
Don’t waste your time
This star’s on fire, fire
Oceans ago, on a beach side
Smoking grass, getting high
Just one look in those blue eyes
Her long hair and her big smile
He lit a fire inside of her
Like no master tender
Their fire died and
Their love went awry
This family line that I’m a part of
Always reminds me to trust my heart
What do you want?
Take every chance, chance
Don’t waste your time
This star’s on fire, fire
Let it out, let it out
It’s gonna go out
If you don’t let it out
Let it out, what’s inside of you

Elysium
03:53

“Forgive, forget,” that’s all that’s left
But it’s not that easy
Roller skate away down an empty highway
Fly away from me
I think that I’ll stop calling you for good
Unless the world is ending
I’m glad you’re not all alone out in the desert
You never know when it’s storming
“Forgive, forget,” can we pretend
That it’s a great success?
I think that I’ll stop calling you for good
Unless my world is ending
We’ll be like two ships passing in the night
I know that you’re out there
Free like the wind in my hair
Free like breathing you in
Free like the blood in my veins
Free like a good feeling, feeling
And in the end
We’ll be two stars aligning
Becoming one form of light
Shining like the light in your name, Elysium
“Forgive, forget,” it’s a success but
If it ain’t, don’t tell me baby

Like A Champion
04:18

In the ring weighing in
Taking space, taking names
In the ring weighing in at infinity
At never goes out
At never dies down
It only dies down
Tragic unpredictability
Like the stress of
Raising me all alone
It’s so heavy, like a champion
Oh, yeah
Losing steam, losing lives
Taking hits every night
In the ring it’s only
Blood sweat and tears
Cheap fights and losing bets
This fight ain’t over yet
It only died down
Tragic unpredictability
Like the stress of
Raising me all alone
It’s so heavy, like a champion
Like a champion, oh yeah
It gets so heavy

Desire

Midnight rose growing
Wildflowers blowing
Where did that light come from?
It’s hours till the sun comes up
Black hole, step into
What have we done?
We didn’t know
What we were getting into, oh
Earthly obsession
Make our little confessions
Deep down in a dark sea
Of our psyche
Black hole, step into
What have we done?
We didn’t know
What we were getting into, oh
Satisfy your soul
However it wants you to
Curious heart filled with
Desire, desire, desire, desire
Black hole, step into
What have we done?
We didn’t know
What we were getting into, oh
Desire, desire, desire, desire
Deep down in your heart
There’s a woman with a warning
We didn’t know
What we were getting into

New Moon

I don’t mind
Listening to you write
I don’t mind listening to you
More than the moon
Send me your messages
Send me your words
I know that I can count on you
Touch me like light on my skin
The sun much too bright
Shining in your eyes
More than the moon
I love you, I love you
More than the moon

Temple Canyon Seattle, Washington
Nostalgic rocky canyon magic now brewing in Austin, TX Psychedelic folk rock reminiscent of the variety coexisting in Laurel Canyon's hay day. Rainy rock - grunge vibes - of the PNW washing over the fiery and sunshiny California coastal influence Mariko Ruhle, lead singer and songwriter was raised on. A rapturous transference of memories and hallucinations through sound. ... more
