Ship on the Horizon Ship on the Horizon Inka binka ball of Ink is in the water There’s got to be a ship on the horizon Cause here on the island It’s cold and it’s violent There’s got to be a ship on the horizon The children they say it In their rhyme games they play it There’s got to be a ship on the horizon Mother nature’s got the ocean Put on your boots you’ve got the notion To splash in the rain I know you want to Jump in every puddle of water Tsunami is brewing It could be our ruin Don’t let it sink that ship on the horizon Look up in the sky now Children learn to fly now You can up and fly right off this island Inka binka ball of ink is in the water There’s got to be a ship on the horizon Mother nature’s got the ocean Put on your boots you’ve got the notion To splash in the rain I know you want to Jump in every puddle of water Inka binka ball of ink is in the water There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Wandering Squandering Wandering squandering dreams on a Journey that more and more seems like an Endless waste of my time I think it's time to unwind Wandering squandering years they've Gone and they all disappeared hey How many more did we have? No one can turn the hands back Guess I expected to be in control Sure you were shocked to see me on the floor Wandering squandering tears it's Not at all as it appears You've got me tied in a knot But I am not giving you up Guess I expected to be in control Sure you were shocked to see me on the floor

Forest Giants On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on I'm on my way I'm on my way Hey loner Come over To my forest It's getting warmer Stay hidden Forbidden It's written on the wind On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on On I'm on my way I'm on my way

The World Won't Let Me Believe The world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe But I don't believe the world I want to believe that people they've got you They'll do the right thing when nobody's watching I want to believe we write our own story That some day some way we're heading for glory But the world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe But I don't believe the world I want to believe there's nothing to fear That the monsters are all in the rear-view mirror I want to believe some day we'll be proud of Our narrow escape from this trap we got out of But the world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe But I don't believe the world I want to believe that our time is not wasted That life is delicious if only we taste it I want to believe in a world without pain Where justice comes down like the falling rain But the world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe But I don't believe the world The world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe The world won't let me believe But I don't believe the world No I don't believe the world No I don't believe the world

Better 03:12
Better Shine a light on me and you will see what I've become All my finest moments canceled out by what I've done Still no place I'd rather be than standing in the sun And I'm better Better better than what I've done Better Better Better than I ever was And here I come Sun showers freak me out I don't know how to feel Misty rainbows in the sky they seem so unreal Like all the things I thought I wanted - things I tried to steal And I'm better Better better than what I've done Better Better Better than I ever was And here I come But I'm better Better better than what I've done Better Better Better than I ever was And here I come

Maddening Muse You are so beautiful Always so beautiful You are so beautiful Oh maddening muse You give me hints of hope Like anything is possible You give me hints of hope Maddening muse Oh but you don’t care You drive me to despair Oh but you don’t care Oh maddening muse Well you’re watching watching watching the world go by Waiting waiting waiting I don’t know why I’m content to be your fool Knowing that someday you will rule me You are the reason I Can’t get to sleep at night You are the reason why Oh maddening muse Oh then you smile and then There’s that false hope again Oh then you smile and then Oh maddening muse Well you’re watching watching watching the world go by Waiting waiting waiting I don’t know why I’m content to be your fool Knowing that someday you will rule me

Dragonflies 04:00
Dragonflies When your feet are off the ground You feel the weightlessness of sound And soon you will be homeward bound Dragonflies by day. Fireflies at night And soon you will be homeward bound Vivid dreams of us. I don't know what to so with this energy. When your feet are off the ground You feel the weightlessness of sound And soon you will be homeward bound And soon you will be homeward bound

After Everything Are you defiant after everything that you've done? I'm through with crying after everything that you've done After everything that you've done Have you no shame now after everything that you've done? Please leave the stage now after everything that you've done After everything that you've done Now everything has changed You're led away in chains And everybody They all wish it on me They all wish it on me See how they follow After everything that you've done There's no tomorrow after everything that you've done After everything that you've done Call off your minions after everything that you've done Your stupid opinions after everything that you've done After everything that you've done Now everything has changed. You're led away in chains And everybody They all wish it on me They all wish it on me

Child's Play 03:33
Child's Play I'm just so beyond it all this is child's play to me Think you're clever? I don't know. Let's just wait and see Before you lay your trip on me let me lay my trip on you I could be doing a million things but here I am with you Hey hey hey Try to get a little you can't get enough so you divert the stream No more thirst you've got a flood watering your dreams Before you try to probe me get get to know me on the street The rumble of the highway bridge underneath your feet Hey hey hey I'm just so done with it all this is child's play to me Walk away, it falls to ruin. What is that to me? Before you put your trust in me there's something you should know I'm in love with everything and everything must go Hey hey hey

The Final Wager Steer me in the right direction and I'll go And I won't stop until I find A bridge across the wind, passage through the rain A workaround to buy us some more time The final wager We'll run the table And love will win at last Sort me out so I can be the kind of guy That you would proudly call your own The stupid things I do will not embarrass you And you will never be alone The final wager We'll run the table And love will win at last Wind me up and I will walk the straightest line A gauntlet of our enemies around But just one look at me, they'll part like the red sea And we will walk across the ground The final wager We'll run the table And love will win at last

about

"The American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s latest work is as natural, unassuming and gracefully balanced as the rock sculptures that lend the album its name. Effortlessly combining folk, rock, pop and even electronic elements, Pellnat crafts an inviting, soothing and unpredictable approach that draws you in and carries you along." - Darryl Sterdan, Tinnitist tinnitist.com/2024/03/21/now-hear-this-chris-pellnat-cairn/
