Each of Us, Islands

Hey you, when you walk through do you
Take the time to do what you want to?
Or then do you stop to peek through
The veil we all use to hide some too?

Stay true, Stay true, Stay true

When we dead lock grid lock take stock
Can we see the point and the disjoint?
Reach out grab hold uphold behold
Refine the supine your face skyline
Do not mistake the fake cold take
That you are alone that you can’t home

Stay true, Stay true, Stay true

Be time opine sublime be mine
Days come and days go it’s fine I know
Fear not all paths twist off and back
The constant is you be still be true
Attach to the light of your heart
Take it in your hands it is so grand

Stay true, Stay true, Stay true


No One Makes It Out Alive

Can I have my endless skies again?

Walkin’ on, walking on again
Travel on, travel on again

Can I have my endless skies again?

Lose yourself, lose yourself again
Find yourself, find yourself again

Can I have my endless skies again?


Revelry

When we find it’s inside it’s all the time it takes
Sensing the hush under a blush where our silence wakes
Breathing tides pulling aside static gently breaks
Dawning light, green crown heights, the world it softly shakes

When I change my frequencies high…

Things ignite even in spite of all the things we claim
Dusting ourselves on horizons aching to explain
Sending and mending willingly bending nothing to contain
Gathering senses, tunneling lenses, sustained in refrain

When I change my frequencies high…

Following in, gravity spins all of the unseen
Pulling away, driving replays din of the machine
Breaking constructs all things still stuck make it what it means
Steady the ballast make it steadfast friction washes clean

Take it all inside of you and paint this world with what shines out
Unloading every crack that binds you leave no trace and make no doubt

Take it all inside of you and paint this world with what shines out
Unloading every crack that binds you leave no trace and make no doubt

Take it all inside of you and paint this world with what shines out
Unloading every crack that binds you leave no trace and make no doubt

Take it all inside of you and paint this world with what shines out
Unloading every crack that binds you leave no trace and make no doubt


Carried By The Scars

My desires
Over wires
Graveyard fires
Carried by the scars

Your eyes fall to the floor
Spill your core
You’ll be now

Longing sighs
Lowest highs
Last ditch tries
Carried by the scars

Your eyes fall to the floor
Spill your core
You’ll be now

Scarce or rife
Dashboard wife
Mountain life


Hymn For The Hollow Hearted

I see you in your paper home
I hear the aching in your bones
Your silhouette’s only lonely floating form
The color fades from your pale eyes
Two cursed hearts will play one side
The time ticks by
Fairly, barely, squarely tied

One shot false start my hollowed heart

In the shadows we pass by
Signs and signals we can’t hide
The dance we dance thirsty earthy mercy cry
We arranged and rearranged
Twisting bending always framed
The ways we made
Thrashing crashing never named

One shot false start my hollowed heart

Take your shot…don’t you want to…don’t you want to?
Take your shot…don’t you want to…don’t you want to?

I see you in your paper home
I hear the aching in your bones
Your silhouette’s only lonely floating form
The color fades from your pale eyes
Two cursed hearts will play one side
The time ticks by
Fairly, barely, squarely tied

One shot false start my hollowed heart

When we remember all these times, then we’ll consider all these crimes
When we remember all these times, then we’ll consider all these crimes
When we remember all these times, then we’ll consider all these crimes
When we remember all these times, then we’ll consider all these crimes

One shot…false start


False Faces

Longing lingers here where we lay
When the mask falls away

Silence steals the words we will say
When the mask falls away

When the mask falls away

All we are falls to ground
All we are falls to ground

Now, let the truth set down
Now, let the truth set down
Now, let the truth set down


Leave A Light On

Shadows casting around
My mind’s chasing all the sounds
They all know I am stumbling down
Laying low I can’t come around
Walls are closing in
I keep reaching firmly in
Falling slow into the dark night
I don’t know…well I’ll be alright

Let your light shine
Let your light shine

Ghosts whisper my name
Promise me things that never came
Empty roads it’s always the same
Carry hope divine and untamed
Shadows dodge and sway
Turning no night into the day
Silent calls never fade away
Holding hope can the spirit stay?

Let your light shine
Let your light shine

Dreams drift out of reach
Lessons silence tends to teach
Hollowed eyes they hide what they preach
Carry on light I beseech
Whims tear at the frame
Here it stands it can’t be the same
Fractured stares retain no one’s claim
Every scar carves my new name

Let your light shine
Let your light shine
Let your light shine
Let your light shine


Chasing In Place

You’re in frame frozen in time
Laces tied to the starting line
Thumbs on glass scanning a mile
Chasing in place a desperate smile

Your eyes…

Walk the boards where sunlight crawls
Static lines where shadows fall
Distance blurs, glances and whirs
Chasing in place a frantic curse

Your eyes…

Shoreline slips beneath the hum
Railway cars they all run
Names drift past and back again
Chasing in place it never ends

Your eyes can’t find time
Claim your time. Claim your time.
Claim your time. Claim your time.
Claim your time. Claim your time.

When you’re on the road you’ve got to fight and go find it.
Then you’ll know just how to sign it.
When you’re on the road you’ve got to fight and go find it.
Then you’ll know just how to sign it.

When you’re on the road you’ve got to fight and go find it.
Then you’ll know just how to sign it.
When you’re on the road you’ve got to fight and go find it.
Then you’ll know just how to sign it.


Improvised Weapons

Coming home unalone
Open doors slanted floors
Hands and holds, plans and folds
Nearest far curving stars
Holding arms floating hearts
Sharpen stones mending bones

Blindsided, I’m still whole
Confided, pay the toll
Divided, fill the hole
United, center soul
Blindsided, I’m still whole
Blindsided, I’m still whole


Neutral Positions

Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?

Strained eyes see
Every angle on the path
Before me
It races me to the cracks
Concrete trees
Branches scraping on my back
Shaking me
Take these roots away with you

Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?


Broken Bodies

When you’re around…take in what’s found
All of the sounds refine these lines
I tried, I tried…again

We held the glance…fell in our dance
What felt like chance became my trance…
A sentencing assembling

These days are long… true song I long
Reshape the heart bend a new start
I tried, I tried…again

These muscles burn…ache…learn…your turn
We can’t deny blue tides confide…
A sentencing assembling
A sentencing assembling
A sentencing assembling


Architects Of Anxiety

Red lines drawn by fractured dreams
Left alive
When you find it’s on your mind
Then you can all survive

Breaking out the back your head panic flies
Peeling back the layers seeking always denied
When you’re gonna find it gonna cannibalize
Take it to the streets

They speak in riddles you dream in reverse
Ciphers of comfort obscured as a curse
Trace back emotions but none feel alive
Mazes of choices they help you contrive

Fascinating how we can undermine
All the things we know that we can’t deny
Out of body watching us serialize
Take it to the streets

Silence constructed begins to decay
Fractures are framing language creeps away
A mirror awaits it’s warped by design
You stare at me through a face so not mine

Over and over with a million tries
Outcomes and outcomes that we try to ply
Filling and swilling and killing with cries
Take it to the streets

Breaking out the back your head panic flies
Peeling back the layers seeking always denied
When you’re gonna find it gonna cannibalize
Take it to the streets


Idiot Death March

Stare into the sun flare, flare, flare
When my tide aches, flows, slows then breaks
All these hands shake they take, take, take
Then I cast my will to the side

When the thoughts stirs…blurs…stirs a curse
Eyes fixed on the step, step, step…thirst
Time folds in a pulse, pulse, pulse…burst
Then I cast my will to the side

Slip into the night’s hum, hum hum
My thoughts drift, lift, sift then succumb
This road bends me so numb, numb, numb, numb
Then I cast my will to the side
Then I cast my will to the side


Looking Out For The In

When you’re on the shore you’ll find it
Take the time to dig down deep
The only current that returns you
Is the one you chose to keep

And you know how this all goes

As you take the time to set sail
Know the mast is not your guide
What you crave is not around you
It is all that is inside

Step a foot into the present
Make sure it is firmly there
Don’t mistake the mirror mazes
They are just a vortex snare

And you know how this all goes

The memory is just faded wallpaper a vision
A perception and a mirror of your perspective
Blinding your eyes and boxing your ears
It’s a shackle on one ankle chained to a mechanical mountain
Buried at the bottom of a canyon
It helps you define yourself through revisionists cracks
Bending the light inside you until you believe its wavelength
Forcing you to its frequency and hooked to its broadcast
Turn the dial and smash the diode
The choice is yours…don’t be late…

…you know how it goes
You know how it goes
You know how it goes
You know how it goes


Reverie

Welcome tonight come a sore sight
Style the state let’s ruminate
Dancing a name avoidance became
Raging cold fire store my desire

The fall too hard to climb back from
Your name in my slow breath gets by
Alone

Hunger and flame free and untamed
Binding the gaze follow the maze
Present and sound lose to be found
Shedding ourselves we are compelled

The fall too hard to climb back from
Your name in my slow breath gets by
Alone

Take me as I come to you now
Fold me inside it’s true it’s tried
Skin on my skin just let me in
Nothing is left can’t be unmet

The fall too hard to climb back from
Your name in my slow breath gets by
Alone

RACE TO THE STARTING LINE:

We’re just sitting here
Dancing with all our fears
Waiting to disappear
Strangling long held cares
Armed with a sideline stare
Begging to try and care

Race to the starting line
Misplacing all the signs 
Your eyes lie
Race to the starting line
Displacing all our crimes
We’ll fly

Throwing all the pause
Releasing any cause
Grinding the gnaws
Riding the yellow flag
Hanging on all our snags
Craving the constant drag

Race to the starting line
Misplacing all the signs 
Your eyes lie
Race to the starting line
Displacing all our crimes
We’ll fly

We’ve got the know how
We’re getting speed now
It’s too late to take a bow 
Friction’s getting red
Let’s ignore all we’ve said
Eyes fixed only on what’s ahead

Race to the starting line
Misplacing all the signs 
Your eyes lie
Race to the starting line
Displacing all our crimes
We’ll fly
Race to the starting line
Misplacing all the signs 
Your eyes lie
Race to the starting line
Displacing all our crimes
We’ll fly


SUMMERTIME BEATS:

Let go and fall in
Because nothing here remains
For anyone to keep

Expectations and projections
Got us down on our knees
Bound to worry and distraction
A constant game to please
I’ve been thinking how I’m sinking
I’d rather sit with the trees
So conditioned to the mission
I feel the longing of free

Let’s all run through sunlight
Let’s pass through one another

Let go and fall in
Because nothing here remains
For anyone to keep

It’s all attachment and a fraction
Of what we choose to see
Twisting turning exhaustion burning
Spinning on that wheel
I want to crack it to extract it
Deconstruct it and peel 
The grip it loosens the fear it deadens
Free the longing to feel

Let’s all run through sunlight
Let’s pass through one another

Let go and fall in
Because nothing here remains
For anyone to keep


PAST PRESENT FUTURE PERFECT:

Hey now

We’re on our way out
I’ve got to find out
Replace this damned doubt
I’ve got all night
All of the walls down
Flashes of gold sounds
All of the drums pound
And it’s alright

Hey now

All this is so fast
I need a new mast
All these skins to cast
I am all fight
Perspective is just time
Time is just a line
A construct so fine
Keeps us not light

I don’t know what I hold in these hands
Just some stupid plans
They’ll make sure I’ll never land
They’ll make sure I fade

Hey now


STATIC SEA:

Just a static sea for you and me
Mayday mayday mayday mayday

Rip tides like broken glass
Freezing me and slashing me
Boxing me diagonally
Monotone drudgery 
No tides to give or take
No waves to crash or break…down

Just a static sea for you and me
Mayday mayday mayday mayday

Do my eyes deceive me
Salty dead and fractal seas
Impossibly keeping me
Repeating scenery
No tides to give or take
No waves to crash or break…down

It’s just a static sea for you and me


THE SPACES BETWEEN:

I feel fine
I’m right in line

All of us traveling weightless
Taking it all in nameless

I am a wave
I am escape

All of us traveling weightless
Taking it all in nameless

I am here
I feel free

All of us traveling weightless
Taking it all in nameless


COME MORNING:

Home on, hold on
Darkness pressing, creeping
Can’t I just hold on?

Hold on, hold on
Sunlight breaking, lifting,
Can’t I just move on?


THE WINTER CARDINAL:

I see you standing in yourself
I see the span of you through glass
Crystal clear snow streaks blood red
Silent still air sun on the floor
Where have you been?
Everything falls

I watched you whither
Unhinging at my joints my ventricles broken
I could no longer lift you panicked breaths into nothing
My genesis undone 
I miss you
Everything falls

I walk in your shadow
It is warm and hallow
Disorienting absence comfort 
You are all around me and escape me all at once 
Only the promise of a mirage
A doorway into a doorway into a doorway
I call for you
Everything falls


LAST DARK MOON: 

A thousand years, a thousand years, and all my fears 
Wringing hands, wringing hands, and stagnant stands
The pale sound of a tight and drowning bell pounds inside my head

The gnashing teeth, the gnashing teeth of a sleepless sleep
The shuffled steps, the shuffled steps of a stifled room
I’ve run out to a path at the river’s mouth it calls my name

A panicked wait, a panicked weight, nothing’s straight 
A deadened calm, a dead end calm, take my arm
In its sight on the last of a desperate night I’ll wait for the….

Dance dark moon
Dance dark moon
Dance dark moon
Dance dark moon


HOLD OUT HOPE:

I see clouds of burns
Raging hearts will yearn

All the days twist and bend
My half life upends

Can I stand by
Can I get by

Ice cold break contort
Vacancies to sort

Can I stand by
Can I get by

As I mend my rope I still hold out hope
As I mend my rope I still hold out hope
