Got Your Backpack Open That Backdoor lyrics - Cloud Cult
You don't have to do this anymore
Though the beginning looks a whole lot like the end
The stars seem brighter than ever before
Burn that costume that we once wore
And head to the place where the dreams begin
Got your backpack open that back door
We don't have to do this anymore
Though the beginning looks a whole lot like the end
The stars seem brighter than ever before
You know we deserve so much more
Got your backpack open that back door
Got your backpack open that back door
The Universe Woke Up As You lyrics - Cloud Cult
Gonna hum myself to sleep again tonight
Write a little song about the mysteries of life
Try to feel like everything's okay even though so much isn't right
Gonna hum myself to sleep again tonight
Gonna make up some jokes about my day
Make fun of all the things that didn't seem to go my way
Try to get a laugh out of the drama and the pain
Gonna make up some jokes about my day
Oh, was it easier when we were kids
Or was a there something always in the way
And no one else sees the world the way you do
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
Gonna draw my self a picture of the way things were
What is real and what fantasy? Well, I really can't be sure
There's so much here to feel, well, it's all just a blur
Gonna draw myself a picture of the way things were
Gonna bury all my hurt from the past
Push it deep down into the dirt and tell it never to come back
Well, like seeds it grows like weeds and now it's panic attacks
Bury all my hurt from the past
Oh, was it easier when we were kids
Or was a there something always in the way
No one else sees the world the way you do
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
This is how I'll leave my skull-sized hell
There's something big inside of me cracking the heck out of my shell
So stop caring what they think, 'cause that has never done me well
Know that I am me and not the stories that you tell
(What're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
And if you beat me down, I'll love the heck out of myself
Today the universe woke up as you
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
Today the universe woke up as you
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
Change me
(Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?
Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?
Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?
Oh, no, what're you gonna do? Oh, no, what're you gonna do?)
I am ready
I Am A Force Field lyrics - Cloud Cult
Call me Christopher Robin, gonna solve all of my problems
With imaginary friends who are there when I need them
And I've been seeing backsons, and I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here, because I'm pushing down my feelings
Wrote a letter to my future self, what the hell
I think you're gonna get better with a little self esteem
And there's a little kid inside me trying to remind me
That I am a Force Field
I am a Force Field
And I
And I can only cry when I'm alone
I guess it's something that I accidentally learned from my dad
So I'm hiding in the woods with a shovel and some photos
Digging up feelings that I never knew I had
And I built me a tree fort with a trap door
But I'm the only one I ever catch
And there's a little kid inside me trying to remind me
That I am a Force Field
I am a Force Field
And I
Call me Christopher Robin, gonna solve all of my problems
With imaginary friends who are there when I need them
And I've been seeing backsons, and I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here, because I'm pushing down my feelings
Wrote a letter to my future self, what the hell
I think you're gonna get better with a little self esteem
And there's a little kid inside me trying to remind me
That I am a Force Field
I am a Force Field
And I
And I've been seeing backsons, and I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here, because I'm pushing down my feelings
And I
Vision In a Field lyrics - Cloud Cult
I came across a vision in a field
I asked "Please, would you give me, some good advice"
It said "Friend, you are carrying too much of yourself"
Lay it down, let it go, and run like hell
There's so much here to feel, it's no wonder you're so tired
It's not about the easy days, it's about how you walk through the fire
Where are you running to, and what are you running from
Lay it down, let it go, and run
I know these changes hurt like hell
But underneath your bandages I swear you're getting well
Call yourself a victim, and that's what you will become
Lay it down, let it go, and run
One Human Being lyrics - Cloud Cult
We were trying to draw the stars into our own constellations
Make the universe into a kinder kind of creation
My kid says to change the world first change the way you're seeing
But I'm still mowing shapes in the grass to let aliens know we need 'em
And lately I've been feeling like I don't know how you're feeling
This whole thing's out of my control, except one human being
I've been watching classic films to see how decent people were
But movies' happy endings come by skipping all the work
And I don't care if you call me a fool for hoping for more than I'm seeing
But something tells me we were made for more than we are being
But I can only love you if I first learn to love me and
This whole thing's out of my control except one human being
Two years ago I dug a hole and buried myself in the pit
Now I'm afraid to dig up the seed and see what came of it
When it comes to human potential I guess I have high expectations
The limit to the universe is my imagination
And the story goes that Adam and Eve left the garden out of fear
Maybe humans never left and we are all still here
The truth is gonna set you free, or so the sages tell
The truth is gonna set you free but first it hurts like hell
Tonight I Run Away lyrics - Cloud Cult
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Tonight I run away into warm, warm sun
Over and Out lyrics - Cloud Cult
Oh I am feeling, like my chest is full of birds
And they are singing without words
And the only thing I heard were their dreamings
Yes I am dreaming about laying in the road
And someone taking me home
I think I might explode with all these feelings
And that's all for now
Over and out
Now I am burning
Like an angry little star
Has traded places with my heart
I hear it humming in the dark when I am lonely
Yes, I'm alone here
Please stay away
I'll come back out on a better day
The only thing to say is it'll get better
And that's all for now
Over and out
I hear voices
And they are singing in my head
Won't you come and be our friend
We'll do our very best to make you feel better
Oh I am feeling
Like a singer without words
And my chest is full of birds
And I think I've had enough of all of this breaking
Oh, I am growing
But first I'll fall apart
So I can take it from the start
And I'm hoping in my heart that things will get better
And I that's all for now
Over and out
Something In Me Is Changing lyrics - Cloud Cult
Did you know it doesn't take much
Gasoline to burn this f-er down?
And I know it hurts like hell
But the new you is ready to break out
And I can't stop hurting 'cause something in me's changing
And I don't know what I'm looking for
And I can't stop hurting 'cause something in me's changing
And I don't know how to do this anymore
There's something inside me
That wants to screw it all and get away
There's nothing left for me
So leave me alone and let me be this way
And I can't stop hurting 'cause something in me's changing
And I don't know what I'm looking for
And I can't stop hurting 'cause something in me's changing
And I don't know how to do this anymore
As Beautiful As It Hurts lyrics - Cloud Cult
Tumbling trough the universe
Screaming for all my worth
Is it a blessing or is it a curse
That it's as beautiful as it hurts
Try to make the most of my life
Don't wanna make mistakes all the time
Forgive my foolish pride
But please know I tried
I need to think its gonna be alright
I need to think its gonna be alright
Now when the cycle of things don't make it easier
I really try to make things better, this time around
And they say easy come, but it ain't easy to let go
It's the spin on the stories we tell
It's making friends with our wounded self
It's giving thanks when it going well
And keeping hope when it goes to hell
So where you gonna go today
Now that all you plans have changed
You know you can't run away
Oh the wolves are calling your name
I need to think it's gonna be okay
I need to think it's gonna be okay
Oh oh da do
Ha da da oh
Tumbling trough the universe
Screaming for all my worth
Is it a blessing or is it a curse
That it's as beautiful as it hurts
Let It All Out lyrics - Cloud Cult
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all, let it all out
Let it all, let it all, let it all go all out
Different Kind of Day lyrics - Cloud Cult
I'm a work in progress but I'm tired of not liking me this way
In fact, somewhere in the maple trees a ghost of me is running away
I think that's a result of me just trying to be accountable for every little thing in my way
But I get so dang hard on me in stupid ways
But life is full of things we cannot change
And maybe that's okay
Some days I wake up as a person that I think I need to save, hey hey
Grab myself a coffee cup, the self-help books are piled up again
I think that's a result of me just trying to make the best of a life not guaranteed in any way, hey hey
But I get so dang hard on me, the time just slips away
Today could be a different kind of day
Let's dig up our graves
Talk to our old selves a while
Tell me, what makes you hopeful
Tell me, what makes you hurt
I think you're brave even though you're afraid
'Cause you're sick of the denial
You get so dang hard on you, it's time to feel okay
Today could be a different kind of day
Today's a good day, to screw it all and just smile
It doesn't matter how I fall, that's not even how they keep score
And I think we're brave, 'cause we gave up the game
And we're choosing the high road
We get so dang hard on us, it's time to feel okay
Today could be a different kind of day
A Strange World (Know That I Love You) lyrics - Cloud Cult
Know that I love you more than I can show
Most of my feelings I push down below
Call up your savior and tell him I'm cold
Cuz this world is a strange place to live
Know that I love you more than I can say
These arms wanna hold you, but I push you away
Ask how I'm doing, and I'll say I am okay
But the truth is I'm caving in
Cuz this world is a strange place to live
Know that I love you more than you can see
I get a bit overwhelmed with the noise around me
I was told there was hope here if I came with a dream
But this world is a strange place to live
Know that I love you more than I act
But the weight of this world well it's breaking my back
And I'll fight to my death if it'll prove to you that
The good guys will maybe still win
No, don't you ever give in
Though this world is a strange place to live
Know that I love you more than you can know
I may have to leave here, but I won't let you go
When You Reach The End lyrics - Cloud Cult
When you reach the end
You cannot complain to the manager
No returns, no exchanges
Life is not refundable
Your body is just packaging
Sent back for recycling
There never was a warranty
Make the best of it until it's time to go
Make the best of it until it's time to go
When you reach the end
You'll have to turn in all your memories
All the the good ones and the ugly ones
Will replay through all eternity
And we'll gather 'round in circles
Telling stories of who we thought we were
Are you proud are you embarrassed?
Take one last look and then it's time to go
Take one last look and then it's time to go
It's time to go
When you reach the end you'll see
Life is simple carpentry
You're given all the tools you need
To build your own reality
Did you spend your time making heaven?
Or did you make your own hell?
Be honest with yourself, because
What you build is where you get to go
What you build is where you get to go
What you build is where you get to go
What you build is where you get to go
When you reach the end it's true
Life goes on without you
And the last two thoughts inside of you
Are: "I'm sorry!" and "I love you!"
And as you fade into a memory
They'll measure up your heart to see
How much love you kept buried
And how much love you were brave enough to show
How much love were you brave enough to show?
How much love were you brave enough to show?
How much love are you brave enough to show?
The Best Time lyrics - Cloud Cult
It's a perfect day to remind myself to feel
I'm always busy pushing rocks uphill
With a pillow case over my head
I couldn't see that this might be the best time of my life
I try to cover up my mental health
But the truth is, I'm not well
Round and round, here I go again
I couldn't see that this might be the best time of my life
And I never meant to take you for granted
Habit is the enemy of presence
But the days, they all just started getting blurry on me
It's a perfect day to get out of my head
Finally be okay with where I am
All I want to be is a better man
I could see that this might be the best time of my life
But I got mind that's putting me through hell
I'm a wooden pony on a carousel
Round and round, here I go again
And I never meant to take you for granted
Habit is the enemy of presence
But the days, they all just started getting blurry on me
It's a perfect day to finally break the spell
Get me off this carousel
I need help to be a better man
I need to beat it cuz this might be the best time of my life
I need to see it like this might be the best time of my life
Back Into My Arms lyrics - Cloud Cult
The first time that I held you I couldn't catch my breath
Cuz I knew someday I'd have to let you go
I'm supposed to raise you to have the strength to leave the nest
But the day that you leave this home my heart will leave my chest
For now I am thankful every time you need to rest
Back into my arms again
In my heart I'll always hold you like you're still my baby doll
My darling, I'll protect you from it all
You've been learning how to walk away since we taught you how to crawl
But someday I'll be holding hands with the shadows in these walls
Just know I'll always be here every time that you fall
Back into my arms again
The last time that I held you I couldn't catch my breath
I knew that it was time to let you go
I gave you your roots and I had to give you wings
But watching you fly away is a heartbreaking thing
This old house is way too quiet, I miss hearing you sing
Come back into my arms again
I'm not the kind of person who's good with goodbyes
So I'll save you a seat at the table again tonight
I made your favorite recipe but it just wasn't the same
And if I could you know I would do it all again
I choose to believe that good things never end
Come back into my arms again
Back into my arms again
What Would You Do? lyrics - Cloud Cult
What would you do if you had to trade shoes with the love you once knew?
And what would you say if you had to replay the fits you both threw?
Would you self medicate or jump off a fire escape, divide your belongings in two?
What would you do? What would you do?
What would you do if you finally knew the pain they've lived through?
And how would it feel if what they felt was as real as the feelings in you?
Would you just leave, cuz you cannot believe that you can be full of it too?
What would you do? What would you do?
What would you do if you could see through the games you both do?
Would you be surprised if you could see through their eyes and saw how they see you?
Would your life be better if you never met or would you still be dealing with you and your monsters too?
What would you do? What would you do?
If this was the end and I never saw you again
What would I do?
Do you know what I'd change if I could do it again?
I'd stop trying to change you
If our past went away, and we just met today
What would we do?
Love at first sight or the start of our first fight?
All I know is I'd never let go of you
So much is the same, and yet
So much has changed, and yet
I still have these feelings for you and the things you do
What would you do? What would you do?
One Way Out Of A Hole lyrics - Cloud Cult
I had a dream that we were happily lost
We left the path and just wandered off
We said, "In our imagination, everywhere is home"
Uh-huh
We used to leave breadcrumbs to mark the path
But where this is going there ain't no map
"Hey, what's the destination?"
Heck if I know
What's the destination?
Which way do I go?
Which way do I go?
There's only one way out of a hole
Giddy-up, let's go
The ancestors spoke, and said you're losing reception
You think too dang much to have any connection
In our hearts we are the ocean
But we are islands in our minds
Uh-huh
They say I can't find my way 'til I know who I am
Well, I'm a buffalo trapped in human skin
Exploding a million directions
While trying to hold it all inside
What's the destination?
Which way do I go?
Which way do I go?
There's only one way out of a hole
3-2-1, go
Are we on our own?
No, we're in this together
Are we all alone?
No, we're parts of each other
So screw the diagnosis
You're gonna be alright friend
Uh-huh
You deserve better, you don't need that crap
You planned your whole life out, now burn that map
Say, "What's the destination?"
Heck if I know!
What's the destination?
Which way do I go?
Which way do I go?
Which way do I go?
There's only one way out of a hole
Come on, let's go
The Firefly And The Snake lyrics - Cloud Cult
In the middle of the night
I woke up outside the kitchen window
Staring in at a replay of my days
And something tells me I can't come back again
From there I watched my life
I looked back on myself but didn't recognize him
Ashamed to believe I could ever be that way
But then I saw you light a candle in my name
In the morning I awoke and came to life again
One more chance to finally make a change
You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don't ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down
Some lights were never meant to be turned out
When the snake sheds its old skin
It looks back on itself but doesn't recognize it
Ashamed to believe it could ever be that way
So it attacks it out of fear and disdain
You and I built a fire
From the parts of us we never wanna see again
And we watched it burn all night despite the rain
In the morning most our dragons still were not slain
So we reached out our hands and made them friends
One more chance to finally make a change
You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don't ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down
You are the light of my life
Oh, my firefly, my sunrise, and my spark
Don't ever try to cover up your howling luminescence
Though they will come and try to blow your fire down
Some lights were never meant to be turned out
Lady Of The Hill lyrics - Cloud Cult
Have you heard about the lady of the hill?
You all like to think that she's crazy
But I've made up my mind
I'm going to see her tonight
Would you like to come along?
She lost her family in a fire
Her husband and her daughter and her baby
She tried to kill the pain
But the bullet just nicked her brain
Now y'all think she's insane
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
Doctors say that's when she started seeing spirits
The first ones were her daughter and her baby
And that's why I need to see her
Cuz I know that she's a seer
And I have things to be seen
She lives in hiding on that hill
And they say there's no way I'll ever find her
I search day and night
And then I see a campfire light
It's the lady of the hill
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I call her name and go beside her
She falls to her knees as I cry to her:
I say, "You need to know I'm fine
And my love for you won't die
Like I did in that fire"
"I love you Lady of the Hill
And I'll take care of our daughter and our baby
Oh my darling wife
Live a wonder-filled life
Cuz that's the magic pill
To fill holes you couldn't fill
And kill pain you couldn't kill"
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I just want to see ya, be with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
I want to feel ya, heal with ya
Even when I'm gone, I'm here, right here with ya
Victor lyrics - Cloud Cult
Come on Dad, let's go down to the river
Can't you hear them singing your name?
You've been laying in this bed for months now
And it's hard to see you in pain
Oh, your love, you could not explain
And the words you chose not to say
I can feel you slipping away
There's an old farm road that'll lead your ghost to heaven
But I know you're a little afraid
I wish I could still be that kid in the back of your Buick
Making sure you get there okay
Dad, we may differ in how we pray
But wherever you go, save me a place
I can feel you slipping away
There's a cold, dark desk down in the corner of the basement
Where you worked your days away
I can never claim to know your story
But I love you just the same
Oh, your love, you could not explain
And the words you chose not to say
And the family you fought hard to raise
And the friends who celebrate your name
And the sickness that strangled your brain
And the secrets you took to your grave
And the feelings you kept in a cage
And the sorrow that came out as rage
I can feel you slipping away
I can feel you slipping away
I can feel you slipping away
Come on Dad, let's go down to the river
Can't you hear them singing your name?
Song From Oblivion lyrics - Cloud Cult
For a moment you could feel, like you never felt before
In your mind you set fire to all the billboards
'Til the cars disappear and it's just you on a horse
And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby
The panic in your chest is the call of the wild
It's the song from oblivion, it's the end of denial
Now you're calling your doctor cuz you're crying like a child
But something inside you says you're finally ready
The moment you realize you're made out of earth
Is the moment you feel your heart start to give birth
Now you're saying "I love you, and where does it hurt?"
And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby
It's the pissed-off rantings when there shouldn't have been a word
All your broken pieces are a buffalo herd
The moment you surrender you turn into birds
And then something inside you says you're finally ready
You gotta set down the baggage you picked up as a kid
You know you're only good as the sins you forgive
Gotta give yourself grace for the way that you lived
And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby
You hear the call of the wild
You hear the Song from Oblivion
You can just make out the words as the spirits are singing them
"Children, we love you, now go make this right again"
It's the smell of the campfire, the beat of the drummer
You look in the mirror and see your great grandmother
All of the ancestors under the streets
Lift up their song singing "You're finally ready, baby"
Bigger Than Me lyrics - Cloud Cult
Knowing I know nothing is the only thing I know
Hold my hand and don't let go
You'll find me in the woods trying to dig up a little hope
I don't need a temple, cuz this is all one Holy Ghost
Knowing I know nothing means I just know here and now
So turn off my brain, cuz it's too freakin' loud
And let's do the hokey pokey, if that's what it's all about
I can't think it with my mind and I can't speak it with my mouth
It's something bigger than me
It's something bigger than me
Knowing I know nothing means I cannot explain
Why some get it easy and others just get pain
And it makes me wanna curse as much as it makes me wanna pray
But for some Goddamn reason I get to wake up another day
And that's something bigger than me
That's something bigger than me
Back then we had the gratitude to live life on our knees
We had a million gods, because we worshipped every leaf
Now you say there's nothing out there that you can believe
But everywhere I look I see it staring back at me
It's something bigger than me
Something bigger than me
Knowing I know nothing is the only thing I know
Hold my hand and don't let go
Knowing I know nothing is the only thing I know
Hold my hand and don't let go
Knowing I know nothing is the only thing I know
Hold my hand and don't let go
When I have my doubts about the meaning of this life
I see it in my children, and I see it in my wife
I don't need the answers, I just need a friend
Cuz the only thing worth knowing is love in the end
That's something bigger than me
That's something bigger than me
Everything that you do, it goes on, it goes on
Everything that you feel, it goes on, it goes on
All that you know, it goes on, it goes on
All of your love, it goes on, it goes on
