There is no shame in seeking help There is no shame in putting your project on a shelf There is no shame in doing what you gotta do to take real good care of yourself There is no shame in being afraid There’s no reason to fear feeling ashamed Take a step back from your body and say hello to the feelings in your mind There is no shame in crippling doubt There is no shame in not wanting to ask for help There’s no shame in asking for help and finding the very best ways to fill your time

Who did we leave behind Who did we leave behind Who did we leave behind? Will you be on the outside looking in For the coming coronation? Or will you be one of the ones That get to meet the high and mighty How did we get so caught up In the way things are Without asking if they're the way The way they should be?

The shape of emptiness A scheme of heaven Like the moon in the morning In an otherwise open sky May the years scrape nothing away Like a mesquite or a mountain On a summer day The moon disappears from visible sight As loudly as the silence of bigots As time once again Stands still I just can’t see giving in

If I were a mountain I’d be a communist I’d take care of everyone There is no nation With a worthy temple The people would put the presidents In a reservation Their ghosts still do nothing to this very day If I were a mountain Rivers would erode Simple proclamations Heaven is a joke If I were a mountain I’d be a homecoming Locusts and crickets Bees and toads

Suicide is preventable but why would you want to? Can we make anything sustainably? Anyone can play guitar like me Anyone can see (There are no UFOs, the pilot always knows What they’re flying) They made a lot of funny buildings They made the tallest tower And they made the biggest hole And the storms came right on time The war tribes beat their wives Kids, and drums I sat and wrote a note for the one I love You’re my cup of chocolate in the morning My glass of wine when the moon comes out I lived in love to the nth degree Wild and scenic river stamps in my study Ohio River adheres to the envelope Here’s to hoping that letter Here’s to hoping that letter Here’s to hoping that letter Gets to you And you open the letter And you open that letter And you open that letter That I’m hoping that the letter I hope gets to you

Get off that cross lord, that wood is needed Get off that cross lord, just come on down Get off that cross lord, and lend us a hand Get off that cross lord, we got hard times And we got hard times and we got hard times And your idle hands just lay lifeless on that cross Now I got friends that say they know you And I got friends lord that say you love me And those friends they say that it’s true Let’s just say it’s true

An Interlude 02:32
There's a ghost ship in the white sands There's a ghost ship in the witch hazel White moth on the lavender Of the sun bleached sky Shadows bend out of shape Not the dreams that sleep in cop cars, They’re mirrors. They’re beautiful. they’re me and you and youth.

Have you ever met a true black widow? She lost her husband when she was eating Since then she’s rarely heard from and even more rarely seen She stays in my house and keeps it clean People say all she does is drink But I do her shopping She don’t drink as much as people think She said, what exactly is a Holy Ghost? I told her that I didn’t really know I looked it up and wrote it out In American English So every single word is empty and useless One could easily say, that might be the beginning of the end How it ends is simple You can probably guess Fill in the blanks You won’t hear it from me I’ll just say it went quick If I think about it I’m right back up on a crucifix
