Tying thoughts straight around your tongue
Celebrate in the heart song
Hope stream the swim nose bleeds
Foreseen your life's a street
Run more, dance your back

The cut, the book of...
Don't cleanse your morning light
At last turned this old...
The clouds are the wrong way now
The turned is one I held
