Temazcal

been a while since a song hit me so hard.

"puttin all my power righteous as a rose.
dynamite the mountain,
now
i'm walkin up the road.
oh, the love we made at gun point
wasn't love at all.
the dancin in the valley,
the moons the mirror ball.
blew open my mind
now
it's an empty room.
swingin in the hammock,
dogs are walkin cross the roof.
i watch you braid your hair,
you're from another time
when the earth wasn't so angry,
and god was on our side.

searchin' west and east
and all points in between and underneath
the lines of fog
you're there and then you're not

the mayans stole tomorrow,
hid it underground.
we've combed with heavy magnets
but still hasn't been found.
oh,
sweatin out my secrets
in the temazcal.
the screamin in the calle,
that a star's about to fall.

lookin through the trees
cities and the seas
things we've seen
are leaves on the lawn
they're there and then they're gone.

searchin' west and east
and all points in between and underneath
the hand of god
you're there and then you're not."
