Unreleased Songs

The Acorn Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Antenna

Was it always there or contracted?
Was it just the thought
To which I was attracted?

The body speaks in chemicals
A song and dance not visible
But I've been told don't go looking
The tune was tuned to find you

Distance drowns the signal
And the call of constellations
I'm picking up the language that we lost

Static in the air, no reception
Was it just a bad antenna or your perception
Of the silence that surrounds you?

Your ears will move to find it
Don't do looking
My heart was tuned to find you


2.Flood

You lift your head from wild and wicked sleep
Where seven-headed serpents hiss soliloquies
While picking snails from the river of the valley
Don't see the storm clouds piling up so quietly

The rushing river rattlesnakes your legs
And baby boy's got you drinking from the dead
As you lick your lips and paddle for the levee
The sinking banks are sifting through your teeth

As you float up, see the river skins the valley
And strips the sleeping sediment of memory

You lift your head from wild and wicked sleep
The withered river sputters at your feet
And all around the sound is slow and muddy
The sunlight scatters pennies through the leaves

As you wake up, see the river skins the valley
You'd love to wash this summer from your memory


3.Flood, Part 2

The Acorns
As you paddled for the sand
Your feet touched nothing
Don't release this stranger's hand
'Cause I think I've got this covered

Thought my water legs are weak
I'm kicking' like a mother
Thought this water keeps our whistles wet
I've never been less thirsty

Make your way to the top
Make your way to the top
Make your way to the top
Ooh, got pulled in by the flood
