Breathe,
In the sea, a salty film on the galaxy,
Connector to you and me,
Unmistaken infinity…
Sink,
Through my teeth,
Past the thoughts that I never see,
And get to know the inner-me,
And study my philosophy.
Scream,
Out for me, the only way that I feel this dream,
Is when I’m shaken from my sleep,
And the situations’ bleak.
Think,
Think of me, whenever you feel
Adrift downstream,
When it feels like a losing game,
Do they expect you to play the same?

Everyone I know has got rocks in their shoe,
Grinding back and forth with your every move,
And if you aren't careful when the stones accrue,
You'll end up being pinned beneath your crumbled ruins,
And in vain when we bury the past away,
As if by letting it go makes it better to stay,
The feeling in my nerves did extrapolate.
Was it the angle of a curve that i take for straight?
That's when I knew i had an eye for symmetry,
But for years it never really put a weight on me,
And even though you taught me how to do re mi,
You could never see, who you were to me.
I was just a kid when I learned those things,
In a little patch of dirt with a few other weeds,
And even though that's where i ripped my roots out from,
It's the dirt in my teeth that'll make me strong.

Goldenrod

Disappeared, in the clear
Of the morning,
The moon was just like it was
When you left that night.
You never said goodbye.
Well two days too late,
I was at my gate,
You were at the gates,
In the paradise,
You never opened your eyes.
These days, these days may break you,
Just always know, you’re right at home,
You’re never alone.
These days, these days may break you,
Just always know, you’re right at home,
You’re never alone.
So go run through the goldenrod,
Under,
Clear skies where the fields are sod,
I know,
You’ve got a ways to go.
But she still lives through the day,
You were,
Split between the firmament and haze,
She feels,
That you’re out there still…
These days, these days may break you,
Just always know, you’re right at home,
You’re never alone.
These days, these days may break you,
Just always know, you’re right at home,
You’re never alone.

Siren

I’ve been lost
In the dark of a daydream.
Got my friends by my side,
Although they seem,
Terrified at the sight of
Whats got me.
Think they'll mind what I hide
Behind my teeth
Did you ever think you’d make it this far from me?
In a scattered frame that you recall from a dream,
Even when you’re not sleeping.
Did you ever think you’d make it this far from me?
Like a Siren's call that beckons you to the sea,
You see? Are you sure you’re still breathing?
Once you’re bathed in the milk,
Glowing of gold,
Feel the light on your skin,
Let it unfold,
Watch the stars re-align,
As we grow old,
A sour taste is the
First sign of new growth
Did you ever think you’d make it this far from me?
In a scattered frame that you recall from a dream,
Even when you’re not sleeping.
Did you ever think you’d make it this far from me?
Like a Siren's call that beckons you to the sea,
You see? Are you sure you’re still breathing?

High Society

Now the deals over,
But it’s as,
If there’s nothing to show,
Put on repeat, over and over, and over…
You think that you can take me over,
You think that you can make me see,
You think you hold a four-leaf clover,
Maybe,
I’ve got to show you,
Something,
I think,
You've got to know.
You're, takin’ bacon from me,
I’ve got no type of direction,
High on society,
High, high, highhh….

Days Go By

Brother, it took you far too long,
The light is dim, come closer in,
We're not alone.
We cast the shadows one by one,
Like scattered seed, thrown in the breeze,
Forgotten sons.
And days go by,
We make the same mistake,
With no apparent change.
And days go by,
Until you realize,
You’ve lost the time.
The butcher grinds on everyday,
The struts and limbs,
The beams and skins are all decayed,
But heed my word,
Make no mistake,
Contained within, that rusted tin,
You’ll find your faith.
We live our lives through time and space,
But what separates,
The days and dates,
What lines your face?
And days go by,
We make the same mistake,
With no apparent change.
And days go by,
Until you realize,
You’ve lost the time.

Back Home

Before you leave,
Better check your receipt,
Make sure you’ve got back everything you want from me.
Next to you,
I stand in defeat,
On top of the stack of the years of us on repeat.
And I know it won’t feel the same underneath,
Still the sun shines through the tears in the sheet,
There's nothing left to cover me.
Will you find your way back home, to me?
Will you find your way back home, to me?
Will you find your way back home, to me?
Will you find your way back home, to me?

New Moon

Sometimes,
I just want to run with my back to the sun,
So I hide,
Behind all the faces that I have become.
Last night,
I went to the garden, it was overrun,
Swear I tried,
To uncover the meaning of our unison.
Rewind,
See the tapes of our faces from when we were young
Quite shy,
There you watched from the edge we were all hanging on
At high tide,
The transfigurations already begun.
And I find,
That I regret it after it’s already done
And I’ve been concealing,
The sword that I’m wielding, it gives me the feeling,
I call for a stop from the top of the rock where I pulled it from Eden.
And you ain’t been eatin,
all the seed that I bring in,
I get through the seasons,
Now you’re wasting away,
You can’t get through your day.

Ad Infinitum

When I was a child,
Thought I’d see everything,
Thought I’d make it up the wall,
That towered over me,
I’d look out toward the stars,
Reflecting off my teeth,
I’ve never felt too far
From the nature of the beast.
And I can feel the calling wild,
The animal in me,
The feral dose of god,
That shattered my thinking,
And now I feel it all,
With new intensity,
I’m reminded of how small,
My perception tends to be.
