Early in the morning of this pearly prickly pear I found a way I'm ok I'm ok I'm ok I had a long day it was harmful to the things I had to say but I'm ok I guess you can't plan every piece but you can plan to make peace with that And somehow in the clamour of it all I learned to love not from body but from mind

Auntie Why 03:01
You walked in so frighteningly thin It was my 28th birthday Poor sweet Auntie Why where have you been? do you remember how we love you? Well living, yeah it's so strange and cool but darling, there's a most important rule You are one of us Your feather will float down you'll find your answer on the ground and feel alive at once Feather floating down you'll make a plan to grow around that cruel black hole Well Auntie Who now it's Christmas and I've finally seen you laugh and laugh and laugh your feather's floating down you'll find your answer on the ground do you see it yet? feather floating down you'll find your answer on the ground you will see you

I'm the King of the Bees and you are the Giver of the Seasons I float and spin, a hazard in your breeze You should consider loving me Everyone is coming home before they're ready Why do we do it? Spinning round this town for years No one knows where we are or where we're going to but we don't mind we're ok we're alive and we observe You can find happiness in the strangest place You can find happiness in a woman's face You can find happiness in an empty space You can find happiness alone Everyone is cloudy in their mind's today why can't we think straight? Maybe you can meet me up at does I think of her when I think I might be happy and I read her in the morning she helps me think not sleep You can find happiness in the strangest place You can find happiness in a woman's writing You can find happiness in a woman's mind You can find happiness in a woman's kindness You can find happiness in the ways you miss her But now I know I'm the King of the Bees You are the Giver of the Seasons I float and spin, a hazard in your breeze You should consider loving me

Don't forget to take the piss out of those you miss I mean their memories Memories can laugh, you see And don't forget to learn some humour before you say goodbye Place it behind your eye I mean `up in the sky' 'Cause we all hold our own afterlife for those we've known An abstract, synaptic model of everyone you've ever loved You're still alive in my mind the only way I ever knew you You're still alive in my mind the only way we know each other

Josefin the Writer has books locked in her head soon must release them onto paper She has me worried about where our thoughts do go when they've not been named but left in mind to turn like youth gone old Why do our bodies tire so much faster than our minds do and where does love go when it splinters away? She is the place I send my mind when I need to see things not as they are but as I long for them to be Josefin the Writer is collecting information on the mechanics of a memory Where will she find love? Will it stay with Johan or another or will she find a reader like me? She is the place I send my mind when I need to see things not as they are but as I long for them to be Josefin, you are the place I send my mind when I need to see things not as they are but as I long for them to be
6.
Looking over you I see all I ever knew Looking over you I see all I'll ever need to know Looking over you I see us laughing, lying in your bed Looking over you I know I'll be there at least till I am dead And what then? I know that I don't know but if there is a way I will find you every day Lost in the call we'll both just disappear and learn to leave our minds behind I want to leave my mind behind Looking over you I see all I ever knew Looking over you I see all I'll ever need to know Looking over you I see us laughing, on a late night train Looking over you I know I love you

Your comfort casts a shadow on my aging heart I'd tell you everything if I knew how You can hurry through a lifetime maybe forget your part But you can't return to love you never knew When I was a lonely boy I kept lives in my head People I would love people like you So don't you worry about me being so worried about you It's just the way that I was made to love you through and through
9.
Let Love Be 03:12
It's not that I am over all this movement in my brain It's just that I'm a friend and friend, are you ok? If loving me keeps a mind from feeling free then just let love be But if loving me makes a mind less hazy don't you let love be It's not that I'm collected I'm kind of stagnant, kind of changed It's just that I love you Are you ok? Love is mind and body
10.
I see you changing who you are for me I can't let you, I love you too much I see you changing who you want to be I can't let you, I'd miss you too much It is you alone who matters in this way My sea so shaken, you are everywhere My love for you, a tree so strong and green Gulping for shape, giver of the morning.
