1.	Hawk 01:22	lyrics
Hawk coming down with the wind leaves coming down with him bird fly free who can say hawk knows a thing or two about wind Hawk hawk coming down with the wind leaves coming down with him
2.	Coyote 04:05	lyrics
I’d rather be a coyote Katie Lee says she feels so betrayed rivers deserve to be free open mining in waterways, historic parks the lifeblood, the lungs of the Earth stop short no other spaceship like her carved wooden birds adorn her swam in potholes and waterfalls bathed in desert rose soft blush stands her naked body carved by sand, by wind, by dust carved by rain, by rivers, by streams flood the canyons drown everything ignore the rules of balance watch destruction of the sanctuaries wildflowers to circles to spirals from 50 AD gathering pine seeds canyon glen curving   flood the canyons drown everything ignore the rules of balance on Earth watch destruction of the sanctuaries
3.	Dominance 03:08	lyrics
Dominance is a dead end serves evolution no purpose small things we align with open humble kind hand restores the balance affinity and how it seizes what holds hungry ghost 5 points give rise to spirals don’t be possessed by the surface hungry ghost with low purpose possessed by polarity claiming that their side is right don’t know what to do invite in what can receive the calm it gives dominance is a dead end restore the balance
4.	Breaking Weight 04:10	lyrics
slow building growth reflective of a river remain your true source how you come to the river mind just let go float to the middle and be grateful just let go truth taken on the chin liberates who honors it with what you understand where your power sits if fear remains seizes our will to gain seeps into our veins evaporates hands our focus away don’t let them have this hold be grateful just let go truth taken on the chin liberates who honors it with what they understand where and how their power sits if they can dollar it with no boundaries to resist count it then they'll take you out, take all of it let truth root your power within let go of breaking weight collapsible shoulders let go of breaking weight
5.	Queen of Cups 02:48	lyrics
wisdom of the ocean be my wife   like the Queen of Cups made of Earth, Water fierce love of life we don’t have to be anything but honest with ourselves symbiotic - nature in accord with herself vast active living system if everything is fractal self assembled code micro macrocosm plastic in our breathing hole she will out live us all marker for science start the next age  of extinction - golden spike this beast of our age we don’t have to be anything but honest with ourselves symbiotic - nature in accord with herself
6.	Longing 02:41	lyrics
long the morning long thoughts sent through trees senses heighten hair raised up 90 degrees when you are looking at me I feel longing lusting hunger pulling closer starving for your attention my eyes pressed closed feel every curve of your body hang off me language woven with longing pulse raised up faster it beats in this longing hold me slow slow slowly my eyes pressed closed feel every curve of your body hang off me
7.	First Quarter Moon 03:39	lyrics
use this moment to be here right now in this gate of power it's the vision within the first quarter moon moon let it be as big as it wills the play let it as big as it wills the play sun 90 degrees from the moon moon intimacy invite art dedicated unique contemplative mind cast our net out wide under the light of the moon
8.	Kinship 03:31	lyrics
wild places move us closer to conscious kinship living water mother of all visible manifestation of chaos primordial water nature births symbiotic art of balance invisible rivers run under rivers think this world is their kingdom deep in shadow denying tidal relations living water mother of all older than our Sun health of the river tied to rivers that run underneath primordial water
9.	Ocean 03:48	lyrics
wisdom of the Ocean mother dust dirt soil glittering mica flecks of broken down life birthed at dawn wild mother earth wild mother earth here comes the Ocean vast unknown floating while forms emerge morph drop downward Neptune’s horses hoofs hoofs hoofs on the shore hypnotic state of reverie dreaming yet alert sink into this deep reverie sink into this coiled genius rhythm in the sounds of water transporting here comes the Ocean vast unknown hypnotic state of reverie dreaming yet alert here comes the Ocean
10.	Sea Ice 03:11	lyrics
innocence forgotten when there is something we wanted manipulate confiscate marginalize I have a million excuses while we wandered off into the darkness alone oh sea ice In a iceless land our tears fall before them innocence of wildness survive our arrogance use the wild backdrop for science oh sea ice

She Keeps Bees New York, New York

She Keeps Bees have self-recorded and released music made at home since 2006. Their debut album, Minisink Hotel, was described by NYC’s Other Music as “the best album you’ve never heard."
