Sightless Slayer
04:29
|
|||
Breaking, the dawn, bright rays spread
You earthly person, you saw them
The sun will rise, we’re running
Through open field, distant mountain
Fall air, air
Air, air
Peace in the wild, so solemn
The blades and flowers sway calmly
All things, alive, created
A wondrous sight, so wasted
Flow air, air
Shake trees, sightless slayer
Flow air, air
Move miles, blowing there

The Vanity of Toil
04:14
|

What’d you say
Last night
Perfect wounds
Blind sight
Would you take
That away
Lustrous dreams
Kill pain
Virtue lives
On lies
Toils shine,
Rust, die
Giver gives
Some days
Giver takes
Away

Limelight

I fall in the floating that is all life
Lost sure confidence that’s then laid to die
Thrown, tossed tolerance, it don’t hit the ceil
Bridge burned of lost grace will not heal
Tonight, the world has served it’s time
The limelight, a gift enthusing sighs
The fountain, it raises liquid life
A thousand outpour with certain signs
Missed ways, walking forward and back to show
One face so flawless yet so unknown
Two steps: one forward, one back, a loss
Then showing the paths yet once more crossed
Tonight, the world has walked its ways
The limelight, a treasure filled with pain
The fountain, it flows a flower’s need
A thousand outpour in ways yet seen
Tonight, the world has seen all things
The limelight, it’s lost what silence brings
The fountain, it pours a precious gift
A thousand explore the great new place

Cashing Me Out
03:07
|

They were cashing me out, you said
You’d say I wouldn’t know when
It’s slower, maybe, for someone
Who’d seen their own death at the door
All these things that I’ve done, for what
They’re there and then they’re gone, so
Now, sandcastles, these things they are
I've lost them to the infinite wave
Lost loves, oh there’s nothing
Gone riches, all for nothing
All ashes; burned away
Earth’s promise, all decayed
Yet I want, yet I call
Oh, I’ve latched onto faith, I set
My mind on other things now
I’ve watched my world fall apart
I see only things that are new

Second Home
03:44
|

Got on that plane
Second home
Michigan
Is the place
Where I found
Summer’s love
Frost, winter’s glare
Run around
Snow was there
Christmas day
Then went south
Saw St. Clair
When we got into Flint
Loved ones greet us with
All of their compassion; elation
Drive down seventy-five
To where they reside
All things I have loved are waiting
Large wooden walls
Olden days
Pictures say
Thing I was
Not here for
And so much more
Sized on the door
Ragged road
Nose to blow
Maple leaf
Seen across
A clear blue lake
In the grass we would play
Loved ones watched away
All of their compassion; elation
Drive up, large lake I’d see
A fire on the beach
All things I have loved are waiting
Got on that plane
Second home
Michigan
Is the place
Where I found
Summer’s love

Grave Robbers
03:41
|
|||
All the chord was, was so sad
Graven roots became the chain
Holding down one which could not escape
A polished tomb from which grave robbers take
Falling waves, to June
Walled up heat, a ruse
Confusion, so it be
Drowning out a voice to leave
Watch and read, all scenes
Do fiction and real mean anything?
Traversed ground; collision
Essentials never bought
Wasting minds, so soon
Fervently, a frequent full moon
Sun it finds, at night
Looking down on earthly things, taken and gone

I Will
04:29
|
|||
I’m so sorry
Severed sanguine thoughts
Trampled and distraught
I’m so careless
Passive and ashamed
To the self I slave
But you’re so selfless
You indirectly wait
For me just to take
Everything
The shyness that I feel and heed
A worrisome disease
Oh I’m so sorry
For everything I do
I will change for you
A burning lantern
The power in my heart
A fruitful budding starts
When I see
A smile on your face
Remission of disdain
The tempered glow
Of bronze reflected light unveils
The world in which we share
I will change in the things I do
I will love every part of you
I will hold you in my arms
I will fight to all deathly harm
I will care 'til the world it breaks
I will do everything it takes
I will change in the things I do
I will love every part of you
I will change in the things I do
I will love every part of you

There and Gone
02:45
|
|||
Loving my saddest dream
Waking; now life it seems
Showing all the things I lost
Happy mind is soon far gone
Loving is sad
When losing it at last
Hold it, it’s there and gone
Wishing and forever long
For the things you knew you’d lost
Loving them has had its cost
Taken away
Taken away
Watching the sky at dusk
Taurus; those distant suns
Light years gone from this home now
Good men look back not so proud
We’re taken away
A new world comes to stay
Distance, the wanter’s bane
Helpless, so far away
All the things you thought you had
Loneliness infests the man
Wake up each day
Wish to fall away

Bensalem
06:05
|

Don’t explain all the things that you want us to know
Other times, and Mechthild, and the things of the future
Praise and love, all your doves, all these mad ideas of progress
Then in prime hypocrisy, there’s that sad day in August
Oh the end, far away, monastic men of the grave
Royal walks far from home, New Atlantis, bye Bensalem
Holy heart you melt for us, but what madness waits the sinner
Selfishness; can’t respect all the things we are promised
Holy heart, you melt in quiet fever
And we know that you won’t believe us
Full neglect of the pages written
Congregate in our flawless reason
Call us back a final time, the heavens wait, and nothing takes me back to the wretched earthly place where I can’t speak, and oh my heart - it will always break over you
Bringer of utopia, a songbird sings that nothing takes me back to the wretched earthly mind I had where I was never right, and my body was a temple of the sadness that I knew
A brittle stone palace, oh this monastery collapses on you
Thousands of these wasted years creating all the luxuries that we love; all the wars of world’s past and conquests and this shedded blood - but in my selfish state I see only what I want
Call me back a final time, the heavens wait, so nothing takes me back to this wretched earthly place where I can’t speak, and oh my heart - it will always break over you
A pedal to the dust became the crux, now out of view
