Gilgamesh

Friend, take a walk with me
To the mountain of cedar trees
Against the odds we'll take our stand
Two thirds god, one third man
In a dream the mountain falls
Birds breath fire, the thunder calls
To have you, friend, so near
This is no time to fear
A new home in a house of dust
Everything falls, I'm on the cusp
Against the odds we took our stand
Two thirds god, one third man
We make our own devices
And many sacrifices
To hold on to this life here
This is no time to fear

It's our natural tendency
To stay exactly as we are
It's our natural tendency
To stay exactly as we are

High Tide

If we lose our gravity
This ocean could fly
And hold her love for the first time
Before the light dies
But if we touch the heavens collapse
So you keep your place
And I'll keep mine
And we can get closer
At the high tide

Sources of Heat

"Most of the heat which we enjoy and use we owe to the sun. The wood which blazes on the hearth, the coal which glows in the furnace, and the oil which burns in the stove owe their existence to the sun.
"Without the warmth of the sun seeds could not sprout and develop into the mighty trees which yield firewood. Even coal, which lies buried thousands of feet below the earth’s surface, owes its existence in part to the sun. Coal is simply buried vegetation,—vegetation which sprouted and grew under the influence of the sun’s warm rays. Ages ago trees and bushes grew “thick and fast,” and the ground was always covered with a deep layer of decaying vegetable matter. In time some of this vast supply sank into the moist soil and became covered with mud. Then rock formed, and the rock pressed down upon the sunken vegetation. The constant pressure, the moisture in the ground, and heat affected the underground vegetable mass, and slowly changed it into coal.
"The buried forest and thickets were not all changed into coal. Some were changed into oil and gas. Decaying animal matter was often mixed with the vegetable mass. When the mingled animal and vegetable matter sank into moist earth and came under the influence of pressure, it was slowly changed into oil and gas.
"The heat of our bodies comes from the foods which we eat. Fruits, grain, etc., could not grow without the warmth and the light of the sun. The animals which supply our meats likewise depend upon the sun for light and warmth.
"The sun, therefore, is the great source of heat; whether it is the heat which comes directly from the sun and warms the atmosphere, or the heat which comes from burning coal, wood, and oil."
