about

"Mango Leather" is the third single from my upcoming album PUSH. A love song to my greatest fear, a reminder that we are not human beings trying to be spiritual, but spiritual beings trying to be human.

lyrics

Mango leather stuck in my teeth —
they will loosen eventually.
Hurry, grab some waxy thread for me
‘fore I suffer to a depth I cannot foresee!

Human nature working against me —
mango leather just like tiger teeth.
Nothing's waiting in the brush for me,
still I suffer to a depth I cannot foresee!

Raise the taxes, raise the bread,
Raise the children to wish it were summer already.
Guild the lilies for the dead,
Don't forget to floss your teeth and second guess each choice you make!

Venus rising, Mars and Mercury!
Are there tigers on Saturn's rings?
You are nothing, you are everything!
You are made of bone and meat and galaxies!

I am made of gold stardust and heavenly breeze,
So why suffer to a depth I cannot foresee?
