One More Mystery
04:32
|
|||
We had to see in the dark
We were children of the night
We had to be in the dark to be
Children of the night
My hair reached to the sky
To try to reach your height
-Chorus-
You’re with the gods
I’m with the rocks
You read the cards
I find the squats
One more mystery, one more day
They say leave me one more day
One more mystery, one more day
They say leave me one more day
Holding out your hand to say, please
Holding out your hand to say, give me please

Fire on Rooftops
04:14
|
|||
Following the pulse and thrum
to clubland once again
Of neon words from poet past
The beat that drove us on
to the edge of wild dreams
But nightlife breathes us in again
Ch: Like a deadening high
Or a cinder adrift
Ends with fire
Begins with a kiss
Dance on the rooftops
Ember underfoot
Ends in ashes
Began like this
The city full of walls and doors,
an empty place to find
She climbs the hollow stairway
Between the us and them
just the blackness of below
Till daybreak breathes us out again
Chorus 2x

Come Find Me
03:40
|
|||
Look down below
The bodies glow
Through eyes once young
Who would ever know
~Chorus~ (that she) She dances in the moonlight
A starry field alight
Her honeyed voice sings out
Come find me now
I hear her call
Her voice behind the wall
Her heartbreak brings me closer
Like the shadow falls
~Chorus~
Unbroken, time builds walls
Uncertain, her footsteps fall
A hidden word
I’ll whisper to a bird
Set my dreams on wing
In the night she stirred
~Chorus~
~Bridge~

Block the Sound
03:12
|
|||
**On a day of followed signs
and hallowed grounds
**I did my shine
Block out the sounds
Of laughter
Of screaming of all that
We were running from
**On a day not like today
but as it was
*I did my best to trust
Block out the sounds
Of sirens
Explosions
Of all that
The world is coming to
**By the way I'm having fun
Lined out my veins
*I did my best but it
It's never good enough
For hoping
For praying
For hiding
What I have become

On the Wall
03:46
|

Raindrops on George
You traced eternity on my soul
red square holds court
those lords and ladies all look dead
Pale, pale faces
Boots and laces
Following the tracers
To you
And your sparkly cigarette
High on the wall
Not afraid to fall
Not afraid of anything
Pale, pale faces boots and laces
Following the tracers
To you
And your sparkly cigarette
Pale, pale faces
boots and laces
following the tracers
to you
And your sparkly cigarette

False Moon Glow
04:48
|
|||
Remember when the sun was a pregnant orb
nestled in her nest in the heart of the sky,
Her tongue unfurled to drink moisture from the stone,
drove the moon underground to hide from her thirst
Ch: We lay side by side,
Painting stars in empty rooms.
We name our constellations
After days we never knew.
A map forms ‘round your eyes, marks the place
Between here and where you once stood
you turned away, hiding pale, cracked lips
I knew that you were fractured, eroding, turn to dust
Ch: We lay side by side,
Painting arrows on our nails
We name our constant target
After a place we never went
You kiss me desperate under false moon glow
Your mouth tastes of sand and the sky is stained
I remember, a mirror, darker still recollection
I love them though they’re not real
Ch: We lay side by side,
Painting faces on our palms
We name our future home
After ghosts we’ve never know
Ch: We lay side by side,
Painting sunlight in our eyes
We name our falsehoods closely
After dreams we need to grow

A Tree Stands Alone
03:16
|
|||
A tree stands alone
Outlined black against the snow
The winter’s silence descends
Darkness comforts like a friend
Bringing songs of sadness to my lips
A filigree of words and shapes
Here I stand alone
Like an ancient god, he stands
Witness to all life
Locked in years of solitude
Outside all and yet within
Dead leaves are forgotten memories
Ghosts refusing their reprieve
Here I stand alone
And here the emptiness in my hand
Reflects the places I have been
And in the tree, I find myself
The carnival of spring long gone
Cling to life that I once lived
Frozen breath outlines her form
Here I stand alone
Words are wind
Words are breath
Words are substance
Words area real

Lost Landmarks
03:05
|
|||
There’s so little magic
On this faded street
All the landmarks
Are lost
Yet I hear the echo
Of the memory
of your footsteps
Leading from home
Ch. Still I follow the darkness
To daylight’s bright grin
And each time it takes me
to strangers within
Past judgmental eye
A lunatic’s pride
A rainstorm in a bouquet
Ch.
I cry out to god
(a simple request)
to show me the way
Still I follow
The sound leads away
To you, to you, to you
