[00:28.72] The leafless tree looked like a brain
[00:32.95] The birds within were all the thoughts and desires within me
[00:46.66] Hoppin' around from branch to branch,
[00:50.88] or snug in their nests listenin' in
[01:04.78] An eagle came over the horizon
[01:09.00] and shook the branches with its sight
[01:13.37] The softer thoughts: starlings, finches, and wrens
[01:18.93] The softer thoughts, they all took flight
[01:32.38] The eagle looked clear through the brain tree,
[01:36.70] emptying thoughts saved for me
[01:40.91] Maybe I'll make this one my home,
[01:45.57] consolidate the nests of the tiny
[01:49.99] Raise a family of might like me
[02:03.14] Then something struck him, wings of bone
[02:07.52] Sweet desires and soft thoughts were all gone
[02:16.68] The eagle shrieked, 'I'm alone'
[02:29.52] Well it was time to flee the tree
[02:33.84] The eagle snuck up on the wind one talon at a time
[02:52.67] Being sky king of the sky, what did he have to fear
[02:41.17]
[03:01.41] All thoughts are prey to some beast
[03:05.76] All thoughts are prey to some beast
[03:09.98] All thoughts are prey to some beast
[03:14.31] All thoughts are prey to some beast
[03:18.66] All thoughts are prey to some beast
[03:38.74]
[03:49.45] Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
[03:58.87] Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
[05:52.08]
