Alexander EP - God Is An Owl In The Cascades Lyrics

All my friends are laughing now
I'll hide my face I'll wait another day
The merry twins of ego have left me
With a shadow on my ways
The winds are strange and blowing
Gracing me with yet another change
(Yet another change
Why won't you stay the same?)
And though I'd stand resistant it would
Make more sense to try to grip the rain

I was banking on a restful day
But a fun guy caught my drift
(Banking on a restful day?
Yeah I catch your drift)
The water is a mirror, I did
Not think of that before I tripped
(I'll be your mirror don't
Look at me when you trip)
I own the cup of human blindness,
Lean close I'll let you take a sip
It tastes like I'm losing grip with
Just a splash of bitter river fish
(I think you're losing grip and
Now you smell like river fish)

But none of this is making sense
(None of this is making sense)
Is it all coincidence?
Everything is f*cking intense
(Everyone is f*cking in tents)
Especially since I'm camping with my friends
And I've forgotten where I am

Another style of thought brings a smile
From what little pot I brought
(Don't worry, I brought a lot)
Bear in mind its grizzly and
Don't you dare try to pretend it's not
(Baby bear, I wouldn't dare)
But I've worked far too hard
For my point of view to be lost
You'll know what I mean when you're
Either hit with poetry or shot
(Just take another shot)

So don't tell me to make sense
(And I won't tell you to make sense)
If life is just one big coincidence
Perspective depends on the lens
(Perspective depends on the lens)
And now my glasses need a mend
To see the man I am

All is evergreen (all is evergreen)
In and outside of me
Even Cedar and fir trees (cedar and fir trees)
Must bend with the breeze (with the breeze)

The eyes that glaze the mind don't
Gaze deep inside nearly enough
And I am far too sensitive about
The things that I say off the cuff
(Darling I think you've said enough)
But to protect one's sanity it
Often is important to rebuff
(I don't think you know what you're talking about)
And I know what I'm talking bout,'
But don't you dare call my bluff
And for the love of god

Don't ask me to make sense
(I won't ask you to make sense)
Of Natures plan or just plain nonsense
I am beginning to see the end
(I am beginning to see the end)
Unless that's just another bend

Say goodbye as I'm rent
(Goodbye)
God damn these messages won't send
I won't remember who you've been
(Remember who I am)
But please don't curse the man
When you know I'll change again
(Oh no you went and changed again)
