Living Large
Living large
A draft tattoo
Sketch of a window
I can't find the view
So I have a dream
That we are at war
I awake to the peace
I sleep to ignore
But a moon on the water
A question like glass
I'm taken like time with
No time to ask
You are the love that
you'll never find
If you move like the soldier
I left behind
But this is the way we
Cover the ground
Speak like the gesture
Is deaf to the sound
But a moon on the water
A question like glass
I'm taken like time with
No time to ask
Dreams
Dreams, I shouldn't believe
Except they felt so close
As if i already know
Something i never will
And then you occur to me
Only to find a look of confusion
All I'm too close to see
Came to an end in your look of confusion
Awake, to find our hiding place
Sunlight the forest floor
A slap in my blank face
To injure and adore
And then you occured to me
Only to end in your look of confusion
All i'm too close to see
Came to an end in your look of confusion
To bruise is to overlook
Something in the eye
Guess at a closed book
A way to say good (bye)
Don't ever trace it to me
It will always end in your look of confusion
All that you came to see
Came to an end in your look of confusion
(this is the gesture) You'll never hear
This is the gesture you'll never hear
It's meaningless to me, I do it all the time
It's meaningless to me, I do it all the time
It's meaningless to me, I do it all the time
It's meaningless to me, I do it all the time
Returning The Wheel
I'm singing out from a form
How could I etch water into stone?
For you my vapor friends
I'm leaving out what you won't
Why should I deny a body's own
Unavoidable defense?
I am a sign outside your lining
I and I am you are
Not understood,
to say it is so much
Closer to me by far
It's not a mind
or a mouth I'm mocking
As I wink and tell the truth
Do you want to wonder why?
I ape the law
if I feel like talking
About a covenantal tooth,
a story for an eye
I am a sign outside your lining
I and I am you are
Not understood,
to say it is so much
Closer to me by far
I want to trip
through the trees not knowing
The center from the strand
Or the duty from the deed
Swear on the soil of a crop slow growing
Accidently understand
that a promise is a weed
Revisited Gone
I'd love to pull the garden
You tend on every side
I fell for your defences
Only to long for what they hide
We linger more or less each day
We flicker while we fade away
When I became the wooden one
You only took my hand
To drag me to the one tree
I do not understand
We linger more or less each day
We flicker while we fade away
So I will not tap your strength
Asking questions just to know
Are you happy to tend the garden?
Will we be happy just to watch it grow?
We linger more or less each day
We flicker while we fade away
There's a guard at the garden gate
But not to close it
Nobody's gonna call your name
Nobody knows it
There's a guard at the garden gate
But not to close it
Nobody's gonna call your name
Someone is going to hear it anyway
Storyteller
Come turn out the lights
And watch the sun go down
It's time to find your fight
It's time we lived or drown
So sweep the evening clean
I invite it in
Cause you are the sign
That i might not win
It's a vicious cyle
You're losing it fast
But everything is funny
In a city of glass (2x)
Fences and roads
A lifetime explodes
A heart to choke
Ask yourself this every day
Ask yourself this every day
Can you heal ?
Yourself ?
Cause i would like to be like that
I would like to be like that
It's a vicious cyle
You're losing it fast
But everything is funny
In a city of glass (2x)
Walking In Crop Circles
In the beginning
You moved across the waters
And we were the formless
You moved across
Guard dogs on duty last night
We walk in circles in broad daylight
Guard dogs on duty last night
We walk in circles in broad daylight
Swimming the imprint
The way is gently clear
Clockwise or counter
The path that brought me here
Guard dogs on duty last night
We walk in circles in broad daylight
Guard dogs on duty last night
We walk in circles in broad daylight
In the beginning
We moved among the dirt rows
And they were the formless
We moved among
Guard dogs on duty last night
We walk in circles in broad daylight
Guard dogs on duty last night
We walk in circles in broad daylight
Flower To Another
Flower to another one, says
Let's leave the garden to it's distant son
Leave our future for another time and place
This freedom's just a consequence of space
When the abstract was alive
Into the framework you were designed
A noisy little gift when future ears arrive
Waiting for my conscience to decide
But to compensate for dreams
That never did exist
Then I must believe in
What never did exist
Brother, where'd you go?
Torn to years
Such a long time
Not such a long time
In your time you would not speak
Of all the things you refuse to dream
I broke your heart like you specified, and still
Your love remains an accident of will
And nothing more now you're welcome home
And nothing more now you're on your own
And nothing more I'm the same as you in ways
The truth will never complicate
But to compensate for dreams
That never did exist
Then I must believe in
What never did exist
Brother, where'd you go?
Torn to years
Such a long time
Not such a long time
We pray with our hopes
We pray with our dreams
We pray with our hopes
We pray with our dreams
We pray with our hopes
And always for your peace
Viviana
Viviana, a stone and I
can feel a crowd form
too many, too shy alike
to hurry open.
So how come it comes
to be storied over?
My will be undone.
Two or so together for a witness or a friend
better for another one to talk with or about
too many to win or turn an equal to an end
but there's only one when I deny
Viviana, is something alright?
October is for kites.
Always the worried one.
Viviana, a stone am I
to speak so clearly
and still mistaking your name for a life
you do better to mistake me for us
stare back at a sign
I, shouting out your eye
you, quiet or blind.
Two or so together for a witness or a friend
better for another one to talk with or about
too many to win or turn an equal to an end
but there's only one when I stop
counting.
Viviana,
freedom is only the means.
I'm something like you seem.
Who is the worried one now?
Time Is Coming
Your time is coming
So hit the ground running
You'll never know
You'll never know
Until it's too late
The law, inverted
This language is deserted
They'll never know
They'll never know
Until it's too late
Your timing is pleasant
Like water in the desert
You'll never know
You'll never know
Until it's too late
Though nothing was stolen
A thief was here, i know it
You'll never know
You'll never know
Until it's too late
It's what he lies about
That takes a while to figure out (repeat)
And then why? (repeat)
Recital, unbroken
Won't change until it's spoken
You'll never know
You'll never know
Until it's too late
You're throwing or losing
My confidence is choosing
You never know
Until it's too late
It's what he lies about
That takes a while to figure out (repeat)
And then why? (repeat)
You'll never know
You forgot what you came for
You'll never learn it from me
You'll never know
You forgot what you came for
You'll never learn it from anyone
Jonah
Call it a calling I am
poorly divided I
am alone you flow over
the only one I say I know.
Barefeet tell lies to the ground
so I go making a sound
when I expected to wait here.
(It feels like
I've been wait all night
for a positive light
a measure more and you might be.)
Surprise.
Call it a calling again
what I will sing for a friend
and get a friend for a song
why am I over you?
Poorly divided into
too many chosen to choose
what do I know of the one
that we are never not never?
(I was working the day
in a positive way
but I wanted to fight
so I wanted to fight
how I wanted it.)
Take the hole in your hand
Jonah fight like a man
and press a coin into mine
a better beggar better I
defend defeat you again
warning to wait until when
I am clever but you are
here.
