Hello Soul
WORDS & MUSIC: C. Konyu

At a bus stop. Feel it blow.
I’m sipping soup. To sip New Orleans of its soul.
With the weather walls pounding strong.
I feel the perfect time for moving on.
And in the side-view mirror wave bye-bye.
Before I go.

From a basement. Cut the cold.
I’m living proof. To prove Los Angeles has soul.
Beneath the smog-hell sky a song.
About the perfect time for moving on.
I let the hallway mirror wave bye-bye.
Before I go.

This question mark. It weighs a ton.
Dehydrate in soaking sun.
Cross my heart. Weigh me insane.
Rehydrate in drying rain.

Spooning Noise From A Moose In A Jar
WORDS & MUSIC: C. Konyu

A leaf, pink picture. Deep within the borders.
Of a maple frame. Surrounding northern towns.
There’s a potluck party. Everyone’s invited.
And there’s little doubt. We’ll all get along.

Bleeding infrared. On this scared afternoon.
I’d be a hermit. But, they have feelings, too.
Loons swim circles. Around and ‘round the pond.
‘Cause life is simple. In this infallible home.

Sideways bear. Walks alone and eats alone.
Finds company. Only when it comes.
Boredom tree. Lost its arms too soon.
You wake up real. Or wake up dead cartoon.

Then he starts illustrating. Us with pencil.
The line is drawn. All light and dark from here.
Beyond the trail. In between the borders.
There’s a beaver hiding. All his souvenirs.

Unseen. Untouched. Unheard. Undeniably there.
Unseen. Untouched. Unheard. Undeniably scared.

Unseen. Untouched. Unheard. Undeniably there.
Never. Sometimes. Sometimes. Always there, somewhere.

Worms
WORDS & MUSIC: C. Konyu

One day the sun came up. And everything died.
While trees burned. A life began for you and I. (SIC)
Still no mention of worms.
That chew the earth as it turns.
Still no mention of worms.

I smell rain. And then the lightning strikes.
Read the news. And then I’m up all night. (SICK)
Still no mention of worms.
That chew the earth as it turns.
Still no mention of worms.

Cross-eyed. Mosquitoes. Hovering. For the last.
Drip-drop of blood. From me. From me. From me.

In a language. Fit for flies. That feel the. Start of it.
And the end of it. The same. The same. The same.

I’ve seen lots. To know that some don’t see.
Enough of the things. They really see.
Still no mention of worms.
That chew the earth as it turns.
Still no mention of worms.

Burnt Island Lake
WORDS & MUSIC: C. Konyu

Paddled my words. Through Algonquin Park.
Paddled ‘til the white turned dark.
My words on a spit. Burning the shit away.
Burned until my words turned dark.

‘Cause darkness is truth. And the honesty soothes.
In the headspace of Algonquin Park.

My words are the earth. That the wind wills to burn.
‘Til my words turn the wind to dark.

Lullaby (For A Moose In A Jar)
WORDS & MUSIC: C. Konyu

Good night. You know it’s past your turn.
Good night. Undo the things you’ve learned.
Nothing matters but the wind.
From golden face to whiskered chin.
With grizzlies crossed and lions glazed.
Tomorrow is and still remains.

Good night. You know it’s past your turn.
Good night. Undo the things you’ve learned.
Nothing matters but the wind.
From northern pole to south within.
As birds trespass this turquoise brain.
Tomorrow is and still remains.

Good night. You know it’s past your turn.
Good night. Undo the things you’ve learned.
Good night. Good night.
Good night. Good night.
