Unwinding
04:07
|

|
heaven, you can wait.
‘till i’m ready,
i’m not ready.
what if it can’t be done?
tomorrow, today?
still unwinding, unwinding,
untwining, defining,
unruling, unravelling mistakes…
still uncooling, unspooling,
divining, declining,
deciding roads to take…
supposed to hide this,
to hide this,
to show you a film reel,
of the one who floats above it,
in the land of surreal…
got sweaty palms;
i’ve been hurt…
got sweaty palms;
i’ve been hurt…
got sweaty palms;
i’ve been hurt…
got sweaty palms;
i’ve been hurt…
heaven, can you wait?
‘till i’m ready,
i’m not ready.
but what if it can’t be done?
tomorrow, today?
Supposed to hide this, to hide this….
supposed to hide this,
to hide this,
to show you a film reel,
of the one who floats above it,
in the land of surreal…
got sweaty palms;
i’ve been hurt…
got sweaty palms;
i’ve been hurt…
got sweaty palms;
i’ve been hurt…
got sweaty palms;
i’ve been hurt…
heaven, is it too late?
i am ready,
i am ready…
what if it can’t be done?
tomorrow, today?

Carry

Carry me over
To the next station.
I got lost on my way again.
Yes, it happens so much, people call it freedom, Call it brave, call it sincere.
Ooh,,,,,, rewind....... Ooh,,,,,, rewind.......
Hey, I’m laying the long day down. Too many eyes can’t see
I’m laying me down to sleep....
I’m a dreamer,
I dream my life in rhymes I’m a lover
Want to love, want to love Love too much sometimes.....
If you’d just stop trying so hard not to be yourself, No push, no pull........
Hey, I’m laying the long day down. Too many eyes don’t see
I’m laying me down to sleep....
Hey, I’ll lay this long day down to the ground. Two of my eyes can’t see
I’m laying me down to sleep....
To sleep, to sleep.........
If we just stop trying so hard not to be ourselves, No push, no pull........

There’s been no sense of time to keep
Haven’t time to dream you all complete
The clouds wash off this days heat,
The sea will wash at our feet
She still breathes under concrete
No need to compete…
And tigers guard the dawn
Where the rules lie burnt and torn
Defying us to share
Our bodies tranquil and bare
Nothing to compare
There’s nothing to compare…
But my arms hold you
Will carry you up above
So wake from sleep
You’ll protect me with your love
To discern, not to conceal
There are too many layers to peel
How much of this is real?
How much of us is time sealed?
Sometimes I close my mind, just to feel.
Before all it I kneel…
My arms hold you
Will carry you up above
So wake from sleep
You’ll protect me with your love….

Tonight
03:50
|
|||
|
It is the night of the storm
and I'm wrapped in mauve light
Misty silhouette of the trees
and I'm waiting to appease
I'd mistaken a whirlwind for flight
and it soon turned into a plight
and its carried me deep into the night
which reached quickly for dawn
Oh, I've weighed in at twilight
now come, come take me home.
If there is no wrong of right
why do I feel so alone tonight.....
Truth is often what seems
to be here when its sought elsewhere
and if my soul is weak as it gleams
and can be stolen by a critical stare..
What is there?
Who is there?
And as I do care...
Oh, I've weighed in at twilight
now come, come take me home.
If there is no wrong of right
why do I feel so alone tonight.....

My Arrears
02:25
|
|||
|
You presume
you do not show your fears.
And so I could give to you,
I took them
and swallowed,
as though they were my arrears.
And too gently
did I handle
the covers of your speech.
Was there any truth?
When were you illusive?
When just out of reach?
Then at night time
I began falling
into a deep ravine.
Downwards flying
as though it was my load alone
to make sense of this,
to divine.
And in the night time
I began failing
to reach the warm earth dirt.
Downwards flying,
couldn’t see your arrows
till they pierced….
But I divert.
I divert,
But I divert….
You presume
you do not show your fears.
And so I could give to you,
I took them
and swallowed
These were my arrears.

Waterfall
05:23
|
|||
|
And then,
You put your head down to rest,
Your belly breathed out slow
Fatigued from all the trials
Your eyelids fell down low
_Your words pour like a waterfall
After being damned so long
Your words pour like a waterfall
What you had hidden wasn’t wrong.
You thought you’d never survive
To reveal what you really know
What scared you so much more
Than living a half life
In a ventriloquist show
Your words pour like a waterfall
After being damned so long
Your words pour like a waterfall
What you had hidden wasn’t wrong.
We are all on the border,
We are all in the twilight
We are all on the border,
We are all in the twilight
We are all on the border,
We are all in the twilight
Just when I thought I would have to go,
You leaned over,
Your eyelids fell down low
You thought you’d never survive
To reveal what you couldn’t show…..
We are all on the border,
We are all in the twilight
We are all on the border,
We are all in the twilight
We are all on the border,
We are all in the twilight

Sleep Dreams
01:14
|
|||
|
I sleep dreams for breakfast, and run away from shadows.
I sleep dreams for breakfast, then run away from shadows.
I'm brave and I'm scared in turns.
No ground under my feet,
I must learn to fly....

Throw Away
03:20
|
|||
|
I can’t believe we did it again
can’t believe we did it again
can see how everything plays out over again…
and when I know
this all about you
I can’t stop it
before we go there…
into the flame;
I didn’t want to throw it away…..
just before you lie too close now
just before you lie
just before you lie too close now
just before you lie
pull the reign in.
why, when i know
this all about me
I can’t stop it
before we go there…
into the flame;
I didn’t want to throw it away…..
I didn’t want to throw it away…..
I didn’t want to throw you
pull the reign in
why, when i know this all about you
I can’t stop it
before we go there…
into the flame;
I didn’t want to throw it away…..
I didn’t want to throw it away…..
I didn’t want to throw you …..

Take This Art
01:27

Take this art
Torn from rows
Seared on pipes
And let it go…
Take these seeds
Hold them close
Rising glow
Let it go….

Pressure Gently
03:23
|
|||
|
Your lips are warm
Confiding
But I won't be there -
Not to wait
Not to greet
Just to speak
Not to touch
Just to hear
Not to grieve
Just to release,
This pressure gently
This pressure gently...
All this distance
Just to keep in time.
All this hardness,
Where do we draw the line...
Just to greet
Not to speak
Just to touch
Not to hear
Just to grieve
and to release,
This pressure gently
This pressure gently...

Float
05:22
|
|||
|
Here I go
Looking for easy again
Another mile
Then maybe I’ll find a light on……
Another dream
I search the corners for the clues or the blues
But in the end I find us
Face to face, decision blind
lay back on the sea
Float to you
Float to you
Here I go
There is no easy ascent
Another smile
I am a moth for a flame.
Another scene
I walk the walk and I surf the talk
But in the end we find us
Face to face, decision blind
Lay back on the sea
Float to you
Float to you
After you’d gone
I lay under shade trees
Washed the mascara from my face
It was just you and I
Ticking off one another
Just pride or a fear to embrace…
There was only
A moment left
And I could see
Mist on your breathe……
Face to face, decision blind
Lay back on the sea
Float to you
Float to you
