Nada

NADA
There’s a flood
On the rise
The melting ice
Above your eyes
Filled the valleys
With its rain
Until the Sun
Falls again
Falls again
There’s a dream
About to die
And all your freedom
It was a lie
And all your steel
That turns to rust
And all your concrete
It turns to dust
And all your flags
Will turn to ash
And all your hunger
Will end at last
There’s a flood
It’s on the rise
Until the Rain
Falls again
Falls again

Blades of Kings

BLADES OF KINGS
She turned my outside in
Without within
The span of days
She turned the rain to sun
The pain to love
As you’d hammer steel to blades of kings
We held on for dear life
I was scared all night
You told me ‘just hang on’
Until our voices feel the light
And sets us down in meadows green
And valleys clear
Our dust is made of dreams
And woven seams
And dangling threads on coats of stars
And it’s only too long
As we reach the golden dawn
Like stars that fall in the abundant space of dreams
She turned my outside in
Without within
The span of days
She turned the rain to sun
My pain to love
As you’d hammer steel to blades of kings...

Sleigh Birds

SLEIGH BIRDS
My sleigh is pulled
By hummingbirds
The sound is something
You’ve never heard
A million wings
Like the wind of hurricanes
I was raised by wolves
in the deepest woods
And we sang beneath
The Hunter’s Moon
The smell of blood
Still lifts my cares away...
I sleep beneath
A mile of ice
In a seahorse nest
Made of railroad ties
And Christmas lights
That never burn away
So I share my dreams
With seven parts of me
Divided up so equally
Into seven sins
That feel like home to me
And it’s there I nest
In your eagles crest
Overlooking canyons
Filled with treasure chests
Each one filled with all the love
that you and I threw away...

Glass Roses

GLASS ROSES
Standing with the sign
Like a soldier at his post
A stare that seems to go for miles
Glass roses on the floor
So I checked out for the night
Shaking chest un-blessed and tight
A voice that’s always wanting more
Glass roses on the floor
I Should’ve run, I should’ve been so scared
I couldn’t run so I had to fly
Flashing lights outside the window
Glass roses on the floor
My glass roses on the floor
This time the casket’s empty
This time the cut is pure
This time I’ll never leave you
Glass roses on the floor
Glass roses on the floor

Still Falling

STILL FALLING
Stay up all night, I’ll stay beside you
Feathers are falling inside you
Underneath your heart, underneath your senses
It all falls apart without defenses
Inside myself, still falling
Old dreams are ghosts still calling
Conjure up this wish, still breathing
Conjure up this touch, still reaching
Still reaching
Inside myself, still falling
Old dreams are ghosts still calling
Old dreams are ghosts inside
Stay up all night, I’ll stay beside you
I’ll stay beside you
I’ll stay beside you...

SOFT DOOM
Out of scene and back again
Write a part that never ends
Can’t we all just fade to black this time
Out of scene and back again
Write a part that never ends
Can’t we all just fade to black
This time
Your eyes are like a movie screen
Your lips are like a magazine
The curtains part before the credits roll
To the end, and back again
The light fades as it begins
The heroine that never wins
This time
The clouds passing by the moon
They rose too quick and fell too soon
I never knew you anyway, I know
One more fix and then I’ll go
One more fix and then I’ll go
I never had you anyway, I know
Out of scene and back again
Out of scene and back again
Can’t we all just fade to black this time
Out of scene and back again
write a part that never ends
Can we all just fade to black this time...
This time

Fall Down To The Sea

FALL DOWN TO THE SEA
Everything around you breaks
Everything around you takes
Pieces of nothing they can steal from you
And when they’ve gotten what they need
They’ll find new flesh to feed
The emptiness inside the seed
That grows into you
They all will let you down
They all will let you down
Everything in life unfolds
Everything inside unveils
Itself into the emptiness
That connects them to you
And when they show to be untrue
That they’re just as lost as you
A parasite in flight
A fallen saviour in burning land
They all will let you down
They all will let you down
You’re sad because you know
There’s nowhere left to go
It’s the truest form to be revealed in the dark
Their failure will reflect on you
Their failure will reflect on you
They’ll break you just for trying to save yourself
Fall down to the sea, fall down to the sea
Everything around you breaks
Everything around you takes
Pieces of nothing they can steal from you
Everything in life unfolds
Everything that’s hid unveils
Itself into the emptiness that connects it to you
They all will let you down
They all will let you down...
Fall down to the sea, fall down to the sea

I DREAMED I COULDN’T SLEEP
I’ll leave before the season is at an end
And never see the leaves fall here again
I don’t need a reason to defend
I’ll leave before the season is at an end
Flowers in the attic, a kitten’s purr
Scratching at the door to let it in
Whiskers in a locket, spools of fur
He pisses and he misses at the end
At the end...
I dreamed I couldn’t sleep again last night
So tired as I woke again in the light
Let go as long as you held on
Hold on as long as you let go
Hold on as long as you let go
Let go as long as you held on
Let go as long as you held on
Hold on as long as you let go
Hold on as long as you let go
Let go as long as you held on.
