Nahko Bear - Budding Trees lyrics

[Intro: Sample of Bailey Scott] [laughter] Hit four, actually Okay, umm... Okay, so I kind of want to tell the story of this song It started off as a dream, or a [walk we went?] in the woods [Verse 1] In the moon of the budding trees I was gifted new eyes to see All of the shifting shape and ways you can be Wake the dreams into realities Wake the dreams into realities Sunset diamonds trickle down our cheeks The language of no words is how we speak Pachamama spinning firelight And a Little Bear singing by the fireside Out of this city with the wind on our neck, check That's us whistling upon your neck Moonlit diamonds sparkle into my mouth Feels like hunger and it tastes like salt Feels like hunger and it tastes like salt [Chorus] So, tap me out and tap me into you Heal my brain and my body too Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells Cause the body talks and meditation helps The body talks and meditation helps [Verse 2] A little bit of cinnamon pours as we snoot All up on my sh** in the morning commute Coastal quiver on a quest through the dunes Sandy toes and bottomless curves of the moon Heavy lifting for Pele's children Hand of the goddess, soaking cliffs keep building Plate is full but appetite has dwindled I feel a little sick so I keep the fire kindled You, the pillar, steadfast light of bravery And I, the dimly burning candle still shaking Riddled fear, quiver my bones so easy Well, you're the guru now so visualize healing Yeah, you're the guru now so visualize leaving Let her go, for she can no longer feed you And many children need that mana creature Just barely missed you, I was finally ready But you are long gone, too much heavy history Yeah, you are a long gone, too much heavy history Let go of blame, that sh** will never serve me Bless other men, investigate your mystery [Chorus] So, tap me out and tap me into you Heal my brain and my body too Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells Cause the body talks and meditation helps The body talks and meditation helps [Verse 3] A little spider weaves a wispy web And stumbling through the woods, it catches to my head She crawls behind my ear and whispers secrets Dragonfly wiz by and sings "now teach it" Yeah, dragonfly wiz by and sings "now teach it" Foregone the trail, I watched you head up mauka I turn makai and whisper "thank you, sister" Edge of the west, where water touches land You are the east with folded maps in hand Time to increase my frequency Hands of light and bodies talking, yeah Give me some of that wild fox medicine But keep me here in this wild present tense Fully supported on new lover's chest Dawning adventures sparkle, get some rest Dawning adventures sparkle, get some rest [Chorus] So, tap me out and tap me into you Heal my brain and my body too Balance my chemistry, hydrate these cells Cause the body talks and meditation helps The body talks and meditation helps [Outro: Sample of Bailey Scott] And then I made this song about it So it was like it went from dream world To drawing, to writing, to... life To music, da-da-da-da!
