THE ELEMENTS 03:01
say forever just to get me through today they're all looking for water somewhere at the other end another painted picture, a reason to lament i've seen it all before i'll feel it once again when i fly through the door just to hear you the search should be for iron that flows into your blood it paints a deeper picture of your head and your heart refuses to believe or just see where you've been start by saying say forever just to get me through

falling just reminds us when our legs stand still the impressions on the ground sink in, yeah, sink in a prisoner is a king when the bishop is the only defense the pawn is just a thief with no one to convince your knights are your lovers they'll never leave you keep one eye closed, the other protects you only to stop what you don't see but i got through let's see how you got me you got mine, so i took yours you took mine, so i stole yours you stole mine, so i got yours now you have mine and i have yours

HANDFULS 03:17
listen close the dogs are laughing again maybe they're asking where have i been? windows were left open dust rinsed through rooms all cloudy except for the picture of you a handful further and i'm out past mars all i need is in jupiter's backyard sometimes it takes years of unrest to know the unknown can't imprison your chest fill up their water take off their leash sit and stare at that picture for me fill up your water take off your leash it's up to you, you to stay free i don't wanna be the prisoner handfuls of truth and anecdotes

RESIGNATIONS 03:40

WILDFLOWERS 03:52

never look a colt in the eye always approach it from the side the hand is an olive branch and the voice a little high a little hoarse calling inside never stop a herd from the run the chore is never over, it's never done but the search is a chase when the hand acts in haste the heart stops the run your first times never last your last times fall hard and fast your next times you just might lose so this time, saddle up, i'm riding with you another side, another play listening to horses on another day the ceiling spins your hands in mine i'll listen to horses next time your first times never last your last times fall hard and fast so next time is mine to lose saddle up, i'm riding with you

about

Written and recorded in Casagrande (Vancouver) and Maison Mingus (Vancouver) during the Spring of 2016, except "Wildflowers" which was recorded during the Snickerswatch sessions in Jesse's Attic (Vancouver).
Mingus, you woke. Mingus, you answered.
Mingus, you slept. Mingus, you sat.
Mingus, you listened. Mingus, you talked.
Mingus, you leapt. Mingus, you left.
Mingus, you returned.
Mingus, thank you.
