Elevate

Open my eyes today
I'm ready to be awake
Shadows on the wall
Today I'm gonna watch them fall
The lights that blind me and you, greenish, yellow and blue
Running out of the cave
Static all over the place
Airplanes in my mind
What if the tarot cards were right?
When the machines lie to you, you don't know what to do
This is when I went astray, this is how I lost my way
How can I be present in this world and elevate?
I wanna see within
Experience everything
Explode in all directions
I'm a compass starting to spin
When all your heroes fall through, you grasp for something new
This is when I went astray, this is how I lost my way
How can I be present in this world and elevate?
It's gonna be a pretty day

Frozen

Check this switch one more time and then I'm gonna go (it's time to go)
Repeat the action sixteen times and no one knows (what's wrong here?)
I've looked so long by now that I can't see the light (where are you?)
And suddenly i'm gone, exempt from doing right (where have I gone?)
Move now, walk out, breathe in, I'm frozen
Numb to the outside, inside muscle turns to stone
Am I still here? The lights are off but I'm still home
Inside the eye of yet another morning storm (good morning)
Dissociate- the only exit that ever forms (take shelter)
Trying to grab the root, my feeling are offline (they say you need 'em)
Touch dial to override, my senses turn to lies (the grounding fails)
Move now (you think you're trying to...)
Walk out (spare yourself...)
Breathe in (from all of the...)
I'm frozen (sad things that you're scared of feeling?)
How can i see the person I can be?
Melt this water, a pond in summer
I am more than this

The Lines
03:48
|
|||
|
There is no guidance in this place, oh my god
No one to tell us what to do, that's why life’s hard
There is no beauty in this place, and i just wanna hide my face,
It's all so...
Wrestling questions all day long, hide this song
It's so easy to have an ego, is that why it's wrong?
There's no compassion in this place, tears are running down my face
You and me, we will see, and take it all the way down
You and me, be complete, and take it all the way down
The words are different in each book, I try to find
What you said and who you were, a man-made crime
So i just read between the lines, all this “seek and you shall find,”
I'm praying...
Breathing slow, eyes are closed
Shake me, someone
Please wake me up from this strange, strange sleep
Won't someone wake me up from this strange, strange sleep?
You and me, we will see, and take it all the way down
You and me, be complete, and take it all the way down

Smoke
04:44
|

|
Now that the smoke's clear, now that your scent is gone
The red things have cleared, but I don't know what went wrong
I've never seen anything like this- anything like this
And then I set you down, but I never let you down
Now that the smoke's clear, how I will never be
And I set you down, but I never let you down
When I'm awake and dream of you
I fall so hard I can't get up
When I'm awake and see you there
I close my eyes and die
There's many things I wanna say but I can't say
There's many things I wanna do but I can't do

Election Song
03:24

|
Did you see the people dancing
On the streets in the city?
If we could all come together
How much better this world would be
I was born in Pennsylvania
It wasn't always easy
But i'm just the same as anyone
How much better this world could be
Yeah, you gotta give it away
We're all looking for a good life
Can we still love when we disagree?
'Cause we're just the same as everyone
How much better this world should be
Are you gonna give it away?
Now, put the struggle down, and give it away
Now, as we hit the ground, take your love, and give it away
Come on and give it away

Yellow Balloons
04:00
|
|||
|
I walked around the corner so my mind wouldn't melt
But I jumped into the water, I know its sad alone
Sometimes when you want something too much, you really don't want it enough
Sometimes it's just so hard to get out of bed alone
When the day goes on and on, you just need a hand to hold
So I died of an unused heart, it's just so black alone
The world shut down and we weren't told, believe me I know
I can't find my yellow balloons, so sad to be alone

Mermaids
04:40
|

|
Afraid of love, afraid of life
Tears fill my monastery
Mermaids dictate the new aesthetic
With words as cold as iron and green skin
Something about redemption
Something about the mind vs. the...
Sometimes mermaids sing, voices like a glass bell
That swallows my mind
Sometimes I jump into the sea
Sometimes they're swimming there with me
Lecturing about the weight of the mind and the heart
At times the sea burns
Leaving nothing but purple ashes
With a mind of hot coals
At times I find good in the world
Mermaids organize the new revolution
Reflexive movements and black hair
Something about compassion
Something about the weight of the mind and...
Sometimes mermaids sing, voices like a glass bell
That swallows my mind
Sometimes I jump into the sea
Sometimes they're swimming there with me
Whispering about the difference between the weight of the mind and the heart
God, how they fight
Sometimes, late at night
I never ever thought i'd learn to sing
Try to hide them, can you feel them fight
Raging inside of me
Sometimes I jump into the sea
Sometimes they're swimming there with me
Mumbling about the difference in life between the weight of the mind, and all we can prove, and the heart

No Resolution
02:54
|
|||
|
On the floor with the radio blaring
Someone tell me what the fuck do to
How did things end up this way, anyway?
But I'm not still in love with you
You let me down and I
I hit the ground and I
Swear that I'm not still in love with you
Chemical repetitions
Because the inside let the outside in
The battleground is at the center of myself
It's easier than to be near you again
Too shell-shocked to cry and I
Can't remember why and I
Swear that I'm not still in love with you
There's no coming around and no
Resolution now and I
Swear that I'm not still in love with you
There's pixels in my head where blue
Skies used to live and I
Swear that I'm not holding onto you, I just
Need another way to scare
These ghosts away, it's just
More than I can take, more than I can take
So just
Just take it away

Grow
05:50
|
|||
|
It's no win, you never let me in
I've waited patiently outside your door
It's in your head, the voices are saying it
If you choose to listen, you choose to fall
Grow
The photographs we never took of us
Showing our happiness or whatever you felt
I've been trying to reach your gentle heart
And all I get are sighs, and "I don't knows."
Your walls are slowly, slowly weighing you down
Get out before they bury you in the ground
Grow
I'm in your bed, lonely and sick of it
You're off chasing things that bring you down
Come out of your head and put down your narrative
You can choose to listen or fight for your own fate
Your walls are slowly, slowly dragging you down
Take that voice and bury it in the ground
And then grow
Think about how it would feel to let go
What if life was good and then we said so?
You can believe in love and it might be ok.
Remember all the times that we would laugh, though?
I know it hurts, speaking with your head low.
Let's make life everything we ever wanted.
Grow

The Angry Sea
04:58
|
|||
|
Come with me into the sea
A song leaving, my soul sees me
Water recedes, in fear on my knees
The angry sea between the sky and me
But I can change my dreams
The waves will stop if i breathe
I can change my dreams
I can change my dreams

The Silent Sea [Deluxe Edition]
by Clint Slate & Iona James
supported by 6 fans who also own “Grow”
There's quite a strong Fleetwood Mac vibe running through this EP, especially on the song Tell Me Now, and The Ticking Tide as well. These two solo artists, both already creators of wonderful music in their own rights, work beautifully together. I'm hoping for more great songs from them in the future.
