LYRICS

--- 01  GUT_LENS ---

If the gut lens is primary my body's screaming duck and cover
Slip and jab jab and slip my heart keeps breaking over and over

Letting the sharp edges hit the system bare
Worst case scenario on repeat
Claws like a tether sickening purrr
And I'm choking on the word we

I see healing in every pain
I see compassion in every rage on the plains of the earth
And in the nine levels under the dome of vast heavens
I see only you in every stage
I see healing in every pain
I see compassion in every rage on the plains of the earth
And in the nine levels under the dome of vast heavens
I see only you in every stage

But
If the gut lens is primary my body's screaming duck and cover
Slip and jab jab and slip my heart keeps breaking over and over

Letting the sharp edges hit the system bare
Worst case scenario on repeat
Claws like a tether sickening purrr
And I'm choking on the word we

Oo oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo oo

I see healing in every pain
I see compassion in every rage on the plains of the earth
And in the nine levels under the dome of vast heavens
I see only you in every stage

But
If the gut lens is primary my body's screaming duck and cover
Slip and jab jab and slip my heart keeps breaking over and over

    The four-line refrain is Rumi.


--- 02  HOGAR_DE_TRES ---

En un hogar de tres el amor se entrelaza
    -> in a home of three, love intertwines
Tres almas, un camino, una historia que abraza
    -> three souls, one path, a story that embraces
En cada rincón un suspiro compartido
    -> in every corner, a shared sigh
En este hogar de tres el destino es compartido
    -> in this home of three, destiny is shared

Hogar de tres donde el corazón se expande
    -> home of three where the heart expands
Tres voces, una canción, un amor que grande
    -> three voices, one song, a love so great
En cada mirada un mundo por descubrir
    -> in every glance, a world to discover
En este hogar de tres juntos vamos a vivir
    -> in this home of three, together you will live

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
(And miles to go before I sleep)
(And miles to go before I sleep)

Sora wa hiroku
    -> the sky is wide
Hikari ga yureru
    -> the light shimmers
Hateshinaku
    -> without end
Mittsu no kokoro
    -> three hearts
Hikari ga kasanaru
    -> their light overlapping
Hateshinaku
    -> without end
Tomo no koe
    -> voices of friends
Hibikiau
    -> resound together
Hateshinaku
    -> without end

Hogar de tres donde el corazón se expande
    -> home of three where the heart expands
Tres voces, una canción, un amor que grande
    -> three voices, one song, a love so great
En este hogar de tres juntos vamos a vivir
    -> in this home of three, together you will live

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep

    The english refrain is Robert Frost.


--- 03  HELLO_INNER_CRITIC ---

oo nah ebin wah nips mah

spent on the back nine
i can't let go
i'm spent on the back nine
oo nah ebin wah nips mah
i'm spent on the back nine

now i must talk directly to you
i feel you

you think you're keeping me safe
but you're just making it worse
i didn't realize
i had invited you back in

    The opening line is "i'm spent on the back nine" reversed.

===============================================================

TWO_ROOMS is three songs about the doorway between the lit room
and the dark one. There is no exit. There is only through.
