1. CORNERSTONE
If you ever feel alone or need to see a face
I will always be standing in this place
Take your time to roam exploring all the space
I will always be here right in this place
Like a stone to sit on when you walk on the beach
You don't have to worry if the tide covers me
And even when you feel like things are out of reach
Often they are closer than they appear to be
So cover me in sand as hours turn to weeks
Underneath the ground lies mountain peaks
Blow it all away and like Gobekli Tepe
Things can still be found once they are seeked
So even when you feel like there's nowhere left to turn
And everything you desire to touch starts to burn
All the things that exist have their own role to play
Your story's here to teach you how to find your own way
So wash away the tears and wipe away the years
Look towards the sky put your face to the sun
When nighttime comes around there's a moon that can be found
When there's no end to time there's no need to run
And if the world around us starts to collapse and fall
I will be right here if you ever want to call
Even though the heartbreak makes it hard to stay warm
Love's always appearing again in different forms
2. EVERDON
Everything was peaceful in Everdon
Talking to the chickens in Everdon
Eating mushrooms
No heat in our rooms
Twisting ankles, run in fields in the morning
Arguing with takeaway men some evenings
Shivering showers
Smoking flowers
Sunstroke drinking
Matress sinking
Don't be sad, funghi was had in Everdon
We took the weed and spread the seed in the garden
And flowers will grow
The wind will still blow
The lambs will still baaaa
By the water
3. ANOTHER NEW BEGINNING
Another leaf on a family tree
Brought up on dirt
An heirloom was handed down to me
Of empty worth
An incapable love
I will never be enough for
A broken star at the window
Left in the dark of the family home
Another storm and the branches break
A river takes them to the sea
Pulled under waves they try to escape
And come upon a shore eventually
Their past lives they drowned
With new roots growing underground
And no history written yet
With no memories to forget
Flowers bloom at the window
As a new life starts to grow
Birds on branches sing
Another new beginning
4. EVERYBODY'S ALWAYS CALLING ME
Everybody's always calling me
Everybody's always calling me
Why can't they let me be
Off the hook and ringing free
Everybody's always calling me
They don't learn I never take their call
They don't stop when I ignore them all
And even when I phone them back
They don't stop, they keep attacking me
Everybody's always calling me
All I want is some time alone
Away from dogs with electric bones
And instead of being at home
Oh how I wish that I were roaming
But everybody's always calling me
They seem to have insatiable needs
Will it ever be feasible
That picking up will end the trouble
Everybody's always calling me
They think I live in a silicon room
And exist inside a handheld tomb
But there is a place I could wander
And see a rainbow over yonder
Everybody's always calling me
But I'm away with the fairies, birds, and bees
And now I keep my phone turned off
Cause what I give won't ever be enough
Everybody's always calling me
5. KINDNESS
Playing games sure takes its toll
I have no more dice to roll
Lost everything in a hand I used to know
Thought I was saved ended up sold
Brought in the warm and left out cold
My heart was young but now it's getting old
And running out of time
Running out of lines for a story
There's no beat I can find
It's just a telling sign to ignore me
Losing things that I held dear
To grasp until they disappear
If they don't wanna stay then let them go
'Cause there's no game that I could play
That would ever make them stay
When I go all in they leave anyway
And there's no peace of mind
Telling me I'm fine to be lonely
I'll say another line
But take it as a sign to ignore me
I'm praying that we all will find
Somebody we can spend our time with
Everybody deserves kindness
Kindness
