I Don't Know

Peace be still
On a line between these hills
I'll build my hope once more
Wait up
It's a tidal wave I feel
Stay up?
I don't know
Chance falls
In between the last 2 trees
I 'll walk on stars & the moon
All I feel
Is the dream's too close 4 real
I'll wake & fly away into the dawn
Wait up
It's a tidal wave I feel
Stay up?
I don't know
And I will run away
Without ever leaving here
I will find my home
Down inside

Fly

New star
It breathes a freeze
It's moving me along
& this wind
It changes course
As it goes alone too
2day
It changes us
A sea enough to be
No rain
A forecast of
A sundrenched desert reign
Enough
Another nite
Outside the light in two
2day
The seasons change
As the ocean rages on
Once more
It's not enough
To fill the cup again
This door
It opens to
Another truth I'll feel

Let It Go
03:06
|
|||
|
One more day
& nowhere else 2 stay
This wall turns into clay
& reasons run aground
Nowhere else holds my dismay
One more need
& I learn 2 bleed
Upon this vacant shore
No more empty dreams 2 fly
No more seasons left 2 hoard
Let it go
I don't know
& I do not see
The mountains up ahead
The frozen earth it shines
From the sunlight of my dread
Incapable
Unremarkable
This distance that I crawl
Nothing keeps me locked in here
Just the promise 2 dissolve
Let it go
No changes
No chances
No reasons
At all
No morning
No afternoon
No dreaming
Anymore

My Own Curse
02:10
|
|||
|
Keep thinking that one day
I'll fall into the sun
No matter where my shadow's crawling
Wonder if I'm sinking
Into concrete or the steel
All around me silence keeps me closer
Pulverize
I'm pulverized
Keep thoughts that haunt me
Like some favor I'll repay
Watching as the clouds keep passing over
Never knowing which one way
Was farthest from right here
Always drifting closer 2 the center
Pulverize
I'm pulverized
New chapter
In reverse
Blue after
My own curse

Ambling
01:53

Watch the sun
Melt the sky
Burn the rain
Sunset on fire
Evening gusts
& Hurricanes
Swallow dusk
Into the vein
Hurry up
& turn 2 nite
Somewhere in there
It'll be alright
Don't wanna thing
So tired too
Just dream awake
The end is true
Right now I know
Is all I know
The need 2 be
Gets less of me
Oh no
So slow
Waterfall
& humming songs
This newer blue
Falls short of wrong
Think I'll be
Another me
Just less the mess
I seem 2 be
Watching sun
Turn into clouds
The nite's too long
It's day somehow again

Right Here
02:44
|
|||
|
& I will run
& I will pray
I'll always seek the end of day
The further I go
The longer I stay
Right here
I'm changing my mind
1 day at at time
Forever a second in too late
Will I outlast
The shade of my past
Right here
No Longer locked in
No need 2 look out
My favorite ghosts
Come by 2 shout
I'm lingering where
The dawn doesn't care
Right here
All I know
All I see
I will flow
Right here
& I will run
& I will pray
I'll always seek the end of day
The further I go
The longer I stay
Right here

Fly To Gone
03:10
|
|||
|
If I could get away
& run into the past
I would stay & hold on to
Just one day at last
& if I could find the sea
To sail into a dream
& follow on without the fear
That keeps me anchored here
I'd fly away
Once more I'm seeking hope
As I run towards the ghosts
That will whisper of
The silence that I once held onto
Right now
I see the light
Right now
I fear the nite
I'll go away
Once more
To stay
To find the peace
My heart needs
If I could get away
To the ending of this hurt
I would sleep a thousand sleeps
Before the dawn sang
& If I could find the home
That my spirit drifted from
I could sit & rest in peace
All the fear, gone

This River
03:05
|
|||
|
No one lives here anymore
It's airbnbs from shore 2 shore
Off grid mansions are the new manifest destiny
We are at home right now
Upon this river
Don't give up hope
Somehow
We'll stand & deliver
Self-reliance on the backs of the working class
Game theory from the children of iconoclasts
They did their own research 2 burn down democracy
We are at home right now
Upon this river
Don't give up hope
Somehow
We'll stand & deliver
Entrepreneurs as a new kinda nihilist
Drawing lessons from the textbooks of revisionists
Out of spite they delight in the struggle of the marginalized
We are at home right now
Upon this river
Don't give up hope
Somehow
We'll stand & deliver
Change comes slowly over time
& we know that history always rhymes
We are at home right now
Upon this river
Don't give up hope
Somehow
We'll stand & deliver

My Vampires
03:08
|
|||
|
Faith alone
In the shadows of the sun
No escape, away from this dream
Today unknown
Like a million ones before
Stay or go
It's all the same
In the end
Rain in light
Like a vampire's kiss it bites
Change the thought
Then flee
Evening comes
Like a thief that's on the run
Twilight fades 2 black
In entropy
In the end
What does it matter?
& nowhere that we go
What doesn't matter
It's the ebb & the flow
Born as we're dying
No escape from the dream
& always we're trying 2 remember
The end
