FUR AND FEATHERS
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
Lotus on a glacier, sensing all the penguins swim by, by
I'm unable to measure to distance I have traveled Light, Light
Send me down the Arctic; goosebumps are the fabric I wear, wear
Bergs and winter whistles - all the icicles of my hair
(It's not possible to turn back time)
I have learned that what I've learned are lies
(It's not possible to turn back time)
All these lies have destroyed so many lives
CHORUS:
Ah, all this starting over
Ah, scratching on the surface
Ah, treading all this water
Ah, we finally have a purpose
Seeking out the colony - fur and feathers on the Sunline, line
Embracing my destiny as one of the few who must try, try
To form another civilization - we will be fine, fine
Learn from mistakes our parents made - we're the last of our kind, kind
(It's not possible to turn back time)
I have learned that what I've learned are lies
(It's not possible to turn back time)
All these lies have destroyed so many lives
CHORUS
(Gusts of my breath on the air
Turn to ash then to dust then to shadow - now they flare . . . ) x 3
Fur and feathers . . .
(It's not possible to turn back time . . . ) x 2
Ah, treading all this water
Ah, we finally have a purpose
Fur and feathers on the Sunline
Fur and feathers

OCEAN TONGUE
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
I swim away on the night
I'm so sly, even foxes, they might
Wind 'round the apple treetops
My essence carries away on my thoughts
CHORUS:
'Cause there's a fire
And it's burning hotter
We'll stop for water
From the ocean tongue
High hum
(Wake up and breathe)
I built everyone, everything
My innovation bleeds through the atmosphere
Sigh, blow all the static away
The Blue Jewel - it shows its passion today
CHORUS II:
It's pushing harder
Ligaments and mortar
We'll stop and get our fill
Of the ocean tongue
High hum
(Wake up and breathe)
(This catalepsy, it serves me well
When I'm re-entering this panic shell
Spreading wings over broken fingers
The red on the land undulates and lingers . . . ) x 2
CHORUS III:
It's swelling thicker
With densities and minerals
We'll stop and join Earth's dance
On the ocean tongue
High hum
(Wake up and breathe)

SPEEDING EVOLUTION
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
(I'm gonna)
Put my hands all over the ball
(To heal my crying)
Have myself a beautiful fall
(The speed is blinding me)
Dissolve into a perfect mess
(I will only learn)
Grant myself the time to confess
(The fight is rocking me)
CHORUS:
Wash the wonder away
Watch me plunder the day
Triumph etched in the clay
My dark leanings all break to dust
How's this for karmic retribution?
One kiss, and I'm speeding evolution
This glow that's coming from my very aura
Change the World - anima, fauna, and flora
(I'm gonna)
Scry 'til my heart's content
(The spell is weaving)
Distance me from resentment
(And it will murder me)
Turn the gears on, watch it go
(My brain is tumbling)
Witness my death unfold
(The death of human me)
CHORUS
(How's this for karmic retribution?
One kiss, and I'm speeding evolution
This glow that's coming from my very aura
Change the World - anima, fauna, and flora . . . ) x 2

CONVICT ME
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
They're catching up
Sliding down the stairs and screaming through the halls
I hear the cries overhead, shots raining down from above
"Stop! Police!"
The loot heavy in my hands, and my heart thudding in my ribcage
Struggling to find direction in these sad days
"Please put your hands against the wall!
Let's see your hands now; put them up against the wall!"
CHORUS:
Since when is it a crime to take from those who kill?
Stealing food for my family so they don't take ill
Is that enough to convict me?
Is that really enough to convict me?
It's coming out
Blood pouring from my veins as the racing bullet pierces the flesh
Pushing myself, though I know I don't have much left
"Please lay your body on the ground!
Let's see you lay down, lay your body down on the ground!"
CHORUS
The headline tomorrow ill read:
"Another Criminal Dead In the Street"
CHORUS x 2

NEVER GONNA BE
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
You hope for faerytale
A possibility I just cannot fathom right now
You ask for forgiveness
After all I've witnessed, I gotta get through somehow
Just get me outta here
My eyes must deceive - I can't believe what I have seen
After all this time
I've been indebted to you, and look what you have done to me
(Not gonna have my Love, not gonna have my Heart
No, never again . . . ) x 2
CHORUS:
Never gonna be, never gonna be
Never gonna be the way it was way back then
Never gonna be, never gonna be
Never gonna be the way it was way back when
(Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Spinning around, spinning around, hey
All over town . . . ) x 2
You want my devotion again
Your audacity has me burning
Begging for my attention
But how can I let you in when disloyal is all you've been?
CHORUS
(Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Spinning around, spinning around, hey
All over town . . . ) x 4
Baby, you've taken my Heart and run with it
Baby, you've fallen from bridges high
Baby, you've stolen my Love and soiled it
And made it easy for other women
To catch my eye
CHORUS
(Broken Heart . . . )
(Not gonna have my Love, not gonna have my Heart
No, never again . . . ) x 2

LOVE WEAPONS
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
There is so much more to this journey than what I thought (what I thought)
Check out all of the bullshit that's been propagated, taught, and bought (it's been a lot)
Take off your dark glasses, finally see the Sun and realize (with your real eyes)
We are the power, we are the essence
Search for the Truth
Now, in the last hour, use Love weapons
It's calling you
CHORUS:
Take them out behind the shed
(The thoughts that you're less)
And shoot it dead
It doesn't speak for us
Take them out behind the shed
(The thoughts that you're less)
And shoot it dead
We must be in love with getting lost
There is more hope to humanity than what you think (than what you think)
We are more than just skin and bones and hair and eyes - those surface things (the surface things)
Something akin to superheroes, we can travel on the Light (on the Light)
We are the answers, we are the lessons
Search for the Truth
Now, in your last breath, use Love weapons
It's all on you
CHORUS x 2
(You'd better believe that you are beautiful
You'd better believe that you are wonderful
You'd better believe that you are beautiful . . . ) x 3
(Y'all can't mess with us)
Government, religion, industry, the school system
They don't represent us
The military, banksters, corporations, the greedy gangsters
They don't represent us
CHORUS x 2
We are the mountains, we are the flowers
We grow stronger hour by hour
(Y'all can't mess with us)
We are the canyons, we are the towers
You can never match our power
(Y'all can't mess with us)
We are the thunder, the wooden slivers
We are the cold when you have the shivers
(Y'all can't mess with us)
We are the daydreams, we are the rivers
We are the force, and we've been here forever
(Y'all can't mess with us)

JUST A DREAM
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
Shoulder to shoulder
We watch the Sun descend from the night
(Twinkle, twinkle, Stars - the Sun starts to die)
As it's growing colder
Your tears become the Stars in the Sky
Like Pollux and Castor
You become a God through our curious eyes
The shift is barreling faster
And the portals open; we're not surprised
CHORUS:
You leave
(Climb the mountains, cross the sea)
Scaling the horizon, you dream
(Kick up Stardust musically)
(We never noticed this)
Conceive
(Counter fire; forgive same)
Spinning all the comets, you dream
(Span the Universal plane)
My hands full of heartfuls
Appear the people I used to know
Wearing Light's clothing
But every organ - jars in a row
Gleaming on the dark side
Like glitterbugs and dragonflies, like a kiss
To think they've been beside us
All this time, and we never noticed
CHORUS
Warm willow cushions my feet
As I stare up into the Sky
Our journey is finally complete
And there is none happier than I
You strike the chords of the elements
The World collapses to infinity
Using a different lens
We find the distant land
(This isn't just a dream . . . ) x 4
Using a different lens
We find the distant land
We see it's not just a dream

REFRAIN:
Pull the lies outta you
P-Pull the lies outta you
Exorcise 'em outta you
Gonna do it someday
Empty words pouring outta your mouth, outta your mouth, outta your mouth
Empty words barfing outta your mouth, outta your mouth, outta your mouth
(A E I O U)
Empty words coming outta your mouth, outta your mouth, outta your mouth
(They're just syllables to you)
Empty words blurting outta your mouth, outta your mouth, outta your mouth
(A E I O U!)
Empty words, empty words
REFRAIN
Empty . . .
(Your words mean nothin')

SWEETHEART, COME HOME
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
Thanks to induced seismicity
Those waves are crashing onto me
Fill me up as I take a breath
So wonderful - there's nothing left
Now I understand everything
Around me, Angels start to sing
CHORUS:
All the Lights call me Home
All the Lights call me Home
(Come Home, come Home, sweetheart, come Home
Come Home, come Home, sweetheart, come Home
Come Home, come Home, we are your Home)
Thanks to induced seismicity
My body's washed out into sea
I float above just a little bit
So glorious - there's nothing left
Now I can see the entire World
The Angels whisper loving words
("You are Divine, you are a wonder, you are Love" . . . ) x 3
CHORUS
Someday, you'll understand
We are more than women and men
We are the wonders of our World
CHORUS x 2

Blissful wonder, calling me Home . . . ) x 4

BEING SOUND
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
The Sun, it shines
Upon my window frame
Your glowing eyes
Bleed through the photo pane
(It's just another day without you . . . ) x 2
CHORUS:
Hope'll get me where I wanna go
Even if crying is all I'm gonna know
Looking forward to Light refracting ground
And colours flowing down
Trust'll get me where I need to go
Even if missing you is all I'm gonna know
Learning how to survive in being sound
The Life is in the sound
It's different
Me not fighting my best
Our final words
Left me possessionless
(I'll write another day without you . . . ) x 2
CHORUS
REFRAIN:
I'll zoom through the moments
Time all the increments
Fly through the limits
Test my patience
I'll loom on the precipice
Move to be noticed
Wide my defenses
Apply my forgiveness
CHORUS
REFRAIN
On you

FORGIVE
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
Oh, sometimes, it's hard
Explaining how you feel
To someone close-minded
With zero plans to heal
Play your silly games
Throw it in my face
The past is forever ago
But you still remain
CHORUS:
For what it's worth, I don't hate you
For what it's worth, I'll forgive
Time changes all things
Oh, sometimes, it's hard
To be misunderstood
When all you feel you've done
Was the best you could
If only others would wake up
And see your value
But at the very end of the day
All that matters is you
CHORUS

THE BOYS
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
We're sitting in the driveway, building a rocketship
Drunk as fuck, playing spacemen - we don't give a shit
A burnt-down trailer - someone left the fries on the stove
Of VLTs and bottle kids - fuckin' way she goes
(We will never give up)
CHORUS:
Hands up to the boys
(Making their plans - Freedom 35)
Always playing with their toys
(Chicken fingers and friends bringing meaning to their Life)
Going outta their way to annoy
(At the trailer park - where the real living starts)
Those money-making ploys
My Heart goes out to those boys
The lawn is scattered with broken shopping carts
Somehow, crazy Conky found his way to our Hearts
We're known from towns around to be the guys to call
Our dope is better than that shit sold at the mall
(But you can buy our meat in the parking lot)
CHORUS
(I'm gonna get my grade eleven, gonna be something . . . ) x 4
Mr. Lahey and Randy, always taking the piss
Scoring tickets to Rush to have a shirtless circus
Oh, the microphone assassin and Christmases in jail
Despite the shithawks and shiticanes, the boys will prevail
Hands up to the boys, yeah
CHORUS
(I'm gonna get my grade eleven, gonna be something . . . ) x 4

PRICELESS
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
Hello, come closer
I have a secret to tell
For years, you've lived delusional paradise
So I will dehydrate the well
Blatant conditioning
Poisons our ears, eyes, and minds
We can conquer the cabal once we realize
A Truth so simple to find
CHORUS:
We are not powerless
We are not defenseless
We are all priceless
We are more than they've told us
We are not powerless
We are not defenseless
We are all priceless
We are more than they've told us
Hello, come closer
I have something to convey
The leaders of our lands have joined up
Proclaimed this "New World Order Day"
But we hold the scepter
The power to change their plans
We can save our glorious Terra
If we unite plant, animal, and man
CHORUS
(Strobe creative Light
Unconditionally
Placed here on the Earth
Priceless are you and me)
Each one of us can change the World
For everyone and everyone
Each one of us has the energy
Of a quadrillion Suns
Hello, come closer
We're getting closer
(Hello, come closer
I have a secret to tell . . . ) x 2
CHORUS x 2
We are more than they've told us

Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
A ripple through the jungle
Beating down the fronds
If only Life were simpler
Before they dropped the bomb
CHORUS:
Uprel, τρέχουν, köra, ajaa
Courir, vadīt, çalıştırmak
(We are being hunted day and night
So we run without our sight . . . ) x 2
Hissing metal choppers
Teeming overhead
Shielding out the Sunrise
Hiding from the man
We can't even open our eyes without being watched
We can't even take a single step without being stalked
CHORUS x 2
We can't even open our eyes without being watched
We can't even take a single step without being stalked
Run!

FALL IN LOVE
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
I don't mean to be thankless
But you're standing on my foot
You're putting all your things in my drawers
I never asked for you
And I don't mean to sound angry
But you're taking up my space
You spit your pretty words in my face
I never prepared for you
CHORUS:
If you paid all my rent (every single cent)
If you played with my cats (Louise and Josie)
Falling in love
I don't mean to sound bitchy
But you use all the hot water
Sleeping on the left side of my bed
I never reached for you
And I don't mean to be hostile
But you give me attention
And listen to all the things in my head
I never wanted you
CHORUS II:
If you gave me a kidney (lips and a lolly)
If you stood up for me (defended my honour)
Oh, God, I think I'm falling in love with you
CHORUS III:
If you protected me from monsters (demons and lawyers)
If you went and fetched the mail (and paid for the stamps)
I don't mean to be pushy
But you're coming home too late
We're spending less and less time alone
I never planned for you
And I don't mean to sound needy
But I just cannot let you go
The greatest man I have ever known
I never thought it'd be you
CHORUS IV:
If you make me feel beautiful (so celestine)
If you make me feel ten feet tall (like LSD)
If you shut down my resolve (I must admit)
If you made me fall in love (fall in love)
Fall in love

THE DEEP
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
It's like a harmony when you swim close to me
I just love being alive
Exotic remedies and moving elegies
You remind me of why
CHORUS:
Young and hopeful, we sail within the sea
(This is so new to me)
Bright and lovely, kelp wrapped around our feet
(I'm just a little girl)
Sure yet clumsy, closing space hesitantly
(But I am so ready)
For the first time, making waves between you and me
Wrapped in the deep
We somersault among the green and leafy fronds
Loving you is bliss
We've heard fish tales before of how it's supposed to go
Never imagined this
CHORUS
Spin salty tornadoes
That's just the way Love goes
To live so joyfully
Wrapped in the deep
Wrapped in the deep

OLIVE MONTGOMERY
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
Oh, Olive Montgomery who lives all alone
The "crazy cat lady" with compost on the lawn
I heard someone that she has a son
And he comes by with prezzies every Christmas
Oh, Olive Montgomery doesn't have a phone
No internet, no TV - her mind is her own
I would think it'd get lonely to be cooped in there
But Olive always seems happy
CHORUS:
Olive, oh, lives the only way she knows how
Olive, oh, lives in the Consciousness of now
Olive, oh, lives for her garden and her furry friends
Olive, oh, lives the same Life again and again
Olive, Olive
Oh, Olive Montgomery who lives all alone
The "crazy cat lady" with compost on the lawn
I hear that she fell asleep and passed away
Now I water her flowers every day

THE ONLY LIMITS
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2012
Do you feel like you're headed in the wrong direction?
Do you need a little Light, Love, Hope, and Protection?
Do you believe you are not decision, but a reaction?
You are perfection, so
(Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up on Love, my Love . . . ) x 2
CHORUS:
Oh, we're never gonna heal the pain unless we try
Oh, the only limits are the ones created by you and I
So fly
Do you feel like you're the only one who's suffering drama?
Do you need to find the positive within all the trauma?
Do you believe you're nothing more than a worker bee, a drone?
You're not alone, so
(Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up on Love, my Love . . . ) x 2
CHORUS
So beautiful, you are
Keep reaching for the Stars
We are the answers to the questions asked
We are the future, present, and the past
We hold the keys to the Universe
We are the chorus and every verse
We are the spark in our lover's eyes
We don't just disappear when we die
We're teleporters and time-travelers
We are the echoes of our ancestors
Oh, we're never gonna heal the pain unless we try
So beautiful, you are
Keep reaching for the Stars
So fly
(Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up, Love
Never give up, never give up on Love, my Love . . . ) x 2
