Lyrics

Picture
I think I can see the ocean

behind my mind

lost
woven
the clouds are cloaked

same
story
impossible
gives you permission
don't drown in submission

find
you
the promise unseen
unsaid
unbroken in between

no i'm not lost
really I'm fine
but careful going
behind your mind



tumbleweed

In this modern breath
A ride to nowhere
There is no room for it
No room coming in

Sometimes she crawls out of herself
Moving out of her way

We'll cross into it
The places resist
The way you know yourself
You never really know

Reaching over the moon
Could be splendor
Could be you
Cooling us down
She's losing herself
For us all



bewilder

Floating
Fading
Wondering
Waiting

Lying...Lying Still
Unravel...the will

We need each other
In the after...afterglow

Endless
Unconscious
Thinking
Subconscious

Beside me
Bewilder
In the waiting...deliver me

Free of my keeper
Free of my keeper


jinx the line

The fruits of labor jinx the line
In your poetry, in your rhyme
In the fabric, in this time
Lights wavering through mankind

Keep forward the dream
Slow down everything
Declare, restoring all your thoughts
We are never lost

I know you heard it in your mind
To breed the one, one who climbs
The center will remember
The one never ending


imperfect

Oceans will swallow you whole
In this downpour
Far away a sea of sand
An open hand

In this climbing beauty
Imperfect

Forget the savage seeking chase
Tempted not to figure it out
On the road, one way or another

Kindness Sweeping
In this Keeping

Someone lost another time
Life gives no reason...climb
There is no place I know
No place to go

Silence weeping
In this keeping
In this climbing beauty
Imperfect


april train

The fog in my head loosens
The breath of something bigger...unwinding
The usual mystery forgotten
The ruffled machines misunderstood

Interior flesh...unravel
The universe knows this mellow calm
The promise unseen, unbroken

To feel revealed



wild wielding

In your terrain
Wild, wielding
A little to the left

Our own riddles here
Overflow, overthrow

Feel free
Wild, wielding


never fade

From the darkest place
From the darkest space
Where is the soul of something
Where is the grace

Pulling ourselves in
To the space where I begin
How does it stop
And never fade away

The in between of us
The promise of uncertainty
Without the sense of things
The witness...the mystery

Pulling ourselves in
To the space where I begin
How does it stop
And never fade away


hold on fire

Hold on fire
Hidden in greed
Say what you want to say
I dwell in dead ends
A little too long
Does it mean anything anyway

Be up on Sunday
To be yourself
I've seen enough this way
We'll keep it simple
We will pull through
With demons on display

Deeper than the fight
A little relief
This is not a river
Free of its keeper



collective myth

Gold...go...going...gone
Selling Lands and Souls
Trying to Land
Still it's going down
It's not for me or you
The end of something pushing through

In an upstairs room
Walking on and off
I forgot my dream
Dream within a dream

I offered up everything
To see it wide open

Ever changing place
Will you be with me
This forever place
We begin again

I offered up everything
To see it wide open


clearing

Clearing a divide
Holding close
The truth, the disguise

Innocence can't fight
Pretend with the myth, the night

Past, past this veil
Holding close
Where our language failed

Strange, strange I feel
desires and dreams
find a way here

Past, past this veil
To be with you...be with you here
Love is... love is strange
Beyond us in a dream away



rapture

Darkness on her wings
Through the untold sighs and things
Rapture, I am captured
Into the sight of the blind

Words that never fail
Show us ourselves

Memory we work
Standing you and I
Center of the earth
Twisted path ascending

Rapture, I am captured
Into the night




the lake

Weird...Wanting
The promises

Still ...Stillness
The center of the lake

Shields the stone
Beneath the remembering
