Nocturne
05:21
|
|||
Blind cacophonies
Apparitions creep
Snaking vapor streams
Taking root between
Silent symphonies
Slow hands beckon me
Diapason chord
From the ocean floor
I found you crying in the cellar
Holding a diamond still unweathered
Put on a record I’d forgotten
Dance to a nocturne fingers knotted

Wolves
04:06
|
|||
Floating between walls and
Hiding in plain sight
Letting addled alphabets go
Wander in the night
You play it like a natural so
I’ll just pretend
The room’s not painted grey and for your
Sins you must repent
A million disasters still are
Waiting in the wings
Huddle in the promises you’ll
Barely feel a thing
Your separated soul betrays the
Wisdom we imbue
A pack of wolves is waiting so you’ll
Have to be one too
Floating between walls and
Hiding in plain sight
Tired of the ennui and
Tired of the fight
I’d affect this feeling if it
Ever once had called
But if I want anything it’s
To not want at all

Golden Seeds
05:31
|

Leaving golden seeds
Interred underneath
Arms that stretch for miles in the sun
Rest unduly reap
Air so sickly sweet
Fruit that falls like raindrops in my palms
Hanging heavy moon
Winter is abloom
Snow fills in the footprints of my wake
Fugitive and thief
Holding mask and wreath
Steal away with flowers in my hair
Behind ten feet of glass
Not a sound
As the shore recedes
My voice is bound
Unkempt memories
Beneath the boards
Close envelop me
Within their cords
Slowly it unfurls
Porcelain and pearl
How I’ll make a gift of it for you
Out beyond the screen
Spiraled and serene
Broken bits in coalescing streams

An Ocean
05:57
|
|||
Verses alien melt upon the air
Denizens this place we share
In a mirrored hall juxtaposed a laugh
Pray the moment’s weakness passed
If the youth we bleed out in smoke and screens
Fills the space between us when we meet
Scared to death that I will not have the time
To say the things I need to say to you
Crossing an ocean
And carving off the fat
Now that it’s late
And we’ve had our share of laughs
Stay through the night
For tomorrow when it rains
Hearts safely kept
Here within another plane
Seeing through the shadows seeing through the lake
Tend the futile fires we make
Callused lips that blow on the herald horn
Thousand times the same reborn
So my vacant mind turns itself inside
To wander in that still unspoiled dream
There again we’ll meet in that in between
Where atlas isles fade into the sea
Crossing an ocean
And carving off the fat
Now that it’s late
And we’ve had our share of laughs
Stay through the night
For tomorrow when it rains
Hearts safely kept
Here within another plane

Magic
03:04
|

Wanton cruel to pretend
In my memories perfection has had no hand
Your whisper echoed through the hall
From the spring filled my cup
So pristine by hate and malice untouched
Awash forgiven in its pools
Through a breach majesty
Pours out it is shown a piece
The picture there beneath the veil so complete
This wisdom warms my spreading wings
Gentle beast carry me
To the core the heart the home
Where your immortal love flows free
Unfettered in these bounds of time

Fables

Tomorrow I will be a better man
Dreams of halcyon days lie in my hands
Knowing all the while you'll understand
When my feet get caught in this quicksand
I may not hurt or kill
Rely on my goodwill
But am I passing up
Some greater good?
Oh how could it remain
Good conscience with no pain
When all I've ever wanted is for myself
And will it be enough
To live for peace and love
While demons pound their fists on foreign doors
Tomorrow I will be a better man
Say it if you please or if you can
The breaking of the dawn it has a plan
Will I follow or will I just stand
While tales of wrong and right
Are whispered through the night
Old Aesop, is he grinning in the morn'?
Oh how could it remain
Good conscience with no pain
When all I've ever wanted is for myself
And will it be enough
To live for peace and love
While demons pound their fists on foreign doors
Oh how could it remain
Good conscience with no pain
When all I've ever wanted is for myself
And will it be enough
To make it cross the cusp
And hear those wild voices call my name

This Ghost
05:15
|
|||
Bedlam the time we planted grew
In ivy vines too thick to prune
I met the eyes behind a tree
Grey fox in wait for me
The dissonance a raconteur
Flooding the gates at every shore
I heard the voice but when it spoke
Was nothing like this ghost
Motley the masquerade marches on town
Frilled and adorned making a frightful sound
Wielding a sword and they’re calling it truth
Stab through the heart should be enough to prove
The avarice the poisoned lore
Clouded the art arcane and pure
I’ve seen the face masked by the years
Above a chandelier
Motley the masquerade marches on town
Frilled and adorned making a frightful sound
Wielding a sword and they’re calling it truth
Stab through the heart should be enough to prove

Hearth
03:54
|
|||
Oh we don’t need to make a scene
And we don’t have to speak out loud
The subtle symphony that lies
Arpeggiated in the crowd
The greed that I once felt is gone
Within my chest a growing sigh
For all I want’s to love completely
And all I need is you close by
I’m a collector out at sea
And long ago I lost the search
But with a single memory
I warm my heart upon the hearth
I know this may sound very strange
Or maybe like I’m playing coy
But on the winding path I follow
A steady drum leads in the noise
I’m a collector out at sea
And long ago I lost the search
But with a single memory
I warm my heart upon the hearth
Oh we don’t need to make a scene
And we don’t have to speak out loud
Because I know that you are listening
And we will meet within that sound

Up High
06:10
|

End of the ever growing day
Wander along the palisade
For miles all that I can see now is the mess
We’ve made, we’ve made, we’ve made
Our gentle mother helped me bleed
And for a moment I was free
But time has weathered every rock upon her shore
Before this age before
Distractions will not last you long
A plastic throne to sit upon
Sleepwalking silent orders blemish busy hands
This land, this land, this land
I’ve groveled listened at the banks
For simple sounds and gave my thanks
The clearest image floated to the surface of
What stays, what stays, what stays
Lost somewhere in the maze the mire
An ego burns upon the pyre
Flames kiss exulting underneath a speckled sky
Up high, up high, up high
Above the unmarked grave we found
A cloaked pariah stands devout
Who will despite the choice of weapons at his side
Confide, confide, confide
And all the loves I’ve ever known
Beckon a slow wind to carry home
Though crudely drawn the circles from a flawed design
Align, align, align
Roamed where I’ve roamed
Known what I’ve known
Cut this shit out what is alone
You cannot be alone

Bonus Track: Bluebird
06:16
|
|||
Fill up your glass again
We both know how this ends
Right through the tourniquet
The lion’s blood runs red
Light casts upon these walls
The shadow of your tower
Lone fossils on display
The remnants of your power
Drunken drowning
Swimming in the ash
Of the dead words
Floating in your path
Still the same song
Stifled from within
It sings with you
If you’d just begin
I’ve seen that bluebird there
Hiding in your tree
Though it is beautiful
Its name you fear to speak
I’ve gathered precious words
And built for you a flower
Watch now just as before
It wilts within the hour
Lightly the feathers float
In circles ‘round the curtain
I’d rather let them hit
The ground remain uncertain
Drunken drowning
Swimming in the ash
Of the dead words
Floating in your path
Still the same song
Stifled from within
I'd sing with you
If you’d just begin
I’ve seen that bluebird there
Hiding in your tree
Though it is beautiful
Its name you fear to speak
I’ve seen that bluebird there
Hiding in your tree
And when you meet its gaze
Just tell me what you see
