1.G.T.W.S.
I keep dread on the brittle boats that are sinking in
The foaming mouths of oceans
It's the matter between the little ovals and circles
That are my mortar and savior
Let me live a little longer
Cause im a golden tidal wave of solutions
So we're evil
It's a rainy day
So we're even
2.I Will Return
I'm undressing cryptic words you wrote down
By a cracked window in June
Watching the street bend through the glass
Even though I would prefer you'd return
Subtle hints of you are assembling in the dark
And swimming back to me like a shark
A train rushing through a dark
Tunnel of beating hearts
Passing muscle and bone
Passing familiar faces in stone
We're curled up in the Summer's arms as we laugh
We can count on it to shed our pride
Or set us off to sea with its mast
I know you would prefer that I had returned
But who wants to wait for their ships to sail
While you watch them all gather rust
Attracted to hundreds of
Muffled sounds distorted
In the marrow of bone
In the ovaries of nebula foam
A train rushing through a dark
Tunnel of beating hearts
Passing muscle and bone
Passing familiar faces in stone
3.Once One
I left tonight like smoke through a north-faced window
into the street below
unable to shake the rub of the noises that keep me up
I'm leaving before the sun can choose to wake me up
three stars in the sky are not enough
my eyes have sought and trapped the drift in the trees I pass
and memory fades so fast
unable to shake the rub of the noises that keep me up
I'm leaving before the sun can choose to wake me up
three stars in the sky are not enough
I am a dream ~ I am a dream ~ I am a dream
I can't get home ~ can't get back home ~ can't get home
the night is systemic
a slow dance is the motor of time
and time is of memory
I am a memory myself
the mind is systemic
a vaudeville stage in the radiant sky
time is a motor
I am a motor as well
the night is systemic
when you're a somnambulist
and time is of memory
I am a memory myself
4.Myths On Rotting Ships
Lightning through the stained glass
That marbles fire across the eyelids
When a million burning questions gather
It churns out a maze of little cares
I wave to myths on rotting ships at sea
As i let them go, i breathe in deeply through the nose
A light captures the strayed mind
Inside the middle of a spiral
You say you want the root without the branches
I reply i want everything that's inside the head
I'm an animal most of the time
Instinct : why would i let it go?
I breathe in signals through the nose
I wave to myths on rotting ships at sea
As i let them go, i breathe in deeply through the nose
You can pull the wool over a lion's eyes, but it sees
Through a leak in the strands and a parting in the swaying grass

6.Inside And Out
Our eyes will never come back home
The world surrounds them like the sun surrounds the globe
A voice is speaking from the marrow of our bones
I know we can be all the rarer birds we've never known
I see a million water droplets on a window sill
I know they are outside, but they are a part of me
Individuality will slowly surface once you've said in jest to
yourself
That you've cheated yourself
All those long roads
That work us up and take the piss out of the self we leave in
the wind
All those hard knocks
That work us up and take the piss out of the self we leave in
the wind. Jah!
Two undressing figures and no matter what we do we are a part of
them
We cannot tell if we are us or them
In spending time in front of mirrors you plan and plot your
ideal destiny
But that's not everything that you want to be
Pulled from the meadow like a handful of stalks
In a place of beauty and no one else is ever there
Pulled from the canyon like obsidian and salt
For only you
And no one else is ever there when you get busy. Jah!
Full of love
When distilled down simply, no one else is ever there
Nuance of a pulse
True, it's maybe just me, but i stand by words that discharge
electric shock
7.Mariana
I am a westward vessel of undivided motion
Headed for the canyons of the modulating ocean
I will sail the narrows, pull treasure from their chambers
A prism raining atoms in strings of red and purple
A glass iris shows – a shattered display
Bending rushes tumble over coral reefs and chasms
Sonar drones are braiding into words I want to tell you
Mariana's breathing, shifting currents in her darkness
Divers find me sleeping in her splatter painted shadows
Tonight the world can wait – and work can go hang
8.Splay Of Road
She came from Rome – she made us grow libertine settlements
The splay of road, the tooth of drone, the smudge of memory
The sharpest tongues that shave ancestral bones into the handle
of
An axe we throw into Limbo to watch the dark explode
Our egos grow aquatic clones on beaches staggering
A light bestows the reef below with clues unravelling
The water spoke : there are no gods with motives hovering
Give us an axe to throw into Limbo and watch the dark explode
9.An Absolute Light
How did I decide that I know you?
Why did I decide that I'd tell you what to do?
A song isn't over 'till its hook stops your heart
A song isn't over 'till its bullet hits the mark
How did I decide that I know you?
Why did I decide that I'd tell you what to do?
This song was made into a glowing briar of thorns
This song was made to be gathered up in your arms
