Take the dreams that I tell to you
Make them mean what you want them to
Doves embody for me
Making many memories
They would ask if I was strong
To keep my hands when another came alone
I saw magic as a tangible possibility
Oh, my hands have no such tie
Oh, my hands have no such tie
My only type was a tangible possibility
Watch the water in my eyes
Pick the thought that it might come from
Choose the thought that seems the most like you
They would ask was I strong enough
To keep my hands when another came alone
I saw magic as a means to her, my end

Honey Super

(It’s spring)
Look at all the bees outside
I want to go tell my name
As if they would not know it anyway
Look at all the bees outside
I want to enjoy the spring
Telling all the bees who they should sting
Hair on my head, honey super
Hair on my head, more hair
Look at all the bees outside
I want to go tell my name
As if they would not know it anyway
Look at all the bees outside
I want to enjoy the spring
Telling all the bees who they should sting
I will sing my duet soon
I will get my bees to clap
I will tell their stingers to retract
I won't let you disrespect Tendon Levey′s love interest
Give her the respect you give to me
I command it as the Potentate

I know a body unweathered
The summer is here on in
I know a body who’s good all the summer
...is here on in
Happiness has painted this
Party tonight, party tonight
Happiness has painted this
Party tonight, party tonight
Happiness has painted this
Party tonight, party tonight
Happiness has painted this
Party tonight, party tonight
I know a body that's forming
Each summer from here on in
I know a body that's forming
Each summer from here on in

Oh, the wait
Every bitter hour
Sun disk to me
Sun disk to me
You will sing with me
I will bring you back
To the place you like
With me
You will sing with me, Anita
Sun disk to me
Sun disk to me
If our life starts now
You will forget the early one
Before we came to be
You're the sun disk to me
Sun disk to me
And you will sing with me
You will sing with me, Anita
You will sing with me, Anita
Anita! Anita!
Sun disk to me, sun disk to me
Sun disk to me, sun disk to me
Sun disk to me, sun disk to me
Sun disk to me, sun disk to me
Sun disk to me, sun disk to me
You don't hear the chappedness
Of my call, of my call
You don't feel the chappedness
Of my cast, of my cast
You relieve the chappedness
Of my neck, of my neck
It's not there at all
You don't hear the chappedness
Of my call, of my call
You don't feel the chappedness
Of my cast, of my cast
You don't hear the chappedness
Of my lips when they press
They're not there at all
They're not there at all
(At all)
If I have no call
Then I have no cast
Then I have no neck

Hell helps you to climb into submission
I'll lose my name if you tire of me
I've made a flow chart with us in mind
For every evening we share our time
You, ah, you, ah
You, ah, you, ah
You, ah, you, ah
You, ah, you, ah
Turn all my ideas in to the person that I'm talking to
I'll take you with me everywhere I go
Turn all my ideas in to the person that I'm talking to
I'll take you with me everywhere I go

Heartbeat
Bom-bom-bom
Heart beats fine

Heart beats fine
Give up carapace
If I dare
Give up everything
If I dare
I will come at and out with you
You can cover me if I do
The heartbeats push and pull half the time
(The heartbeats have to pull half the time)
The heartbeats push and pull half the time
(The heartbeats push and pull half the time)
The will is half as good half the time
(The will is half the good half the time)
The will is half as good half the time
The heartbeats push and pull half the time
(The heartbeats push and pull half the time)
The heartbeats have to pull have the time
(The heartbeats push and pull half the time)
The will is half as good half the time
(The will is half the good half the time)
The will is half as good half the time

Unconditional Obsession

(Help us understand you)
My draw to you comes without conditioning regardless
Pick the best day for our meet
We have to wear the same clothes
My songs for you sing a name that you've never been known by
I still found your name in there
We have to wear the same clothes

Magical Nodule

I found out late that I was not a fool
I was only a magical nodule
I ripped the arm from the chest it started from
In the hopes that my mind was not all wrong
Now tell me that you′ve been so wholly scared of me
Scared that you're in the story they will read
I found out late that I was not a fool
I was only a magical nodule
And like all nodules they wanted me removed
But I′ve got proof

(I need to tune my instruments
‘Cause I’m gonna be singing duets soon)
Tune this for Ana
Tune it for her
Tune this for Ana
Tune it for her
Tune this for Ana
Tune it for her
Tune this for Ana
Tune it for her

about
The forty-third release from Tendon Levey.
All music, lyrics and artwork improvised and executed by Tendon.
“As of April 2010, I hadn’t left the house since October. And there were no exceptions; not even a distance of ten feet beyond the door frame. Six months had broken all previous records for being confined to a single cell. It was difficult enough in 2009 to leave the house, but the added physical state had made it so much more frightening and there seemed nothing worth the risk of choking outdoors, in a place beyond reach of my sanctuary.
Longingly I would observe the neighborhood through the window, watching the children as they played; watching the bees as they flew from flower to flower. I grew increasingly desperate for a change in scenery, and so after spending the better part of three weeks standing bent over the kitchen sink with a cheek pressed against the glass, I finally decided to act on my envy in the month of April. I wish I could say that I was rewarded for my efforts, but this change of environment proved difficult on my system and I suffered an acute flair-up of throat-related problems likely having to do with an allergic response. Moreover, it turns out that my eyes could no longer tolerate the light of the sun and a moment outdoors was enough to lead to a temporary visual black-out. It is no wonder why, at this point: my preferential environment was clearly unsupportive of the natural retinal demands, and my eyesight had suffered as a result.
Still, I kept at it, seeking out ways of making it work. Thus I began going out when the sun was low. It was a success, and I had made it outside, but now what? Well, there was some grass, a porch, and a rope tree swing—the latter of which would incidentally become a notable pastime of the summer months. After mixing my songs and putting them on my MP3 player I would run outside all excited to listen to my music on the swing. It was one of two ways that I really got to experience them; to revel in them (the other being dancing before the bathroom mirror, like to give off an energetic live performance).”
