Come Again?

best make the vote
lest you get choked
best keep up pace
always save face
do as you're told
fit the mold
don't you react
when you feel attacked
Come Again?
this is the new state of things
Come Again?

Mania!
05:11
|
|||
In the end you've got to live it
you've got to walk your walk.
I mean going in between the lines
I mean going off the rails
what you've got to do to keep the lights on
They can't understand, my dear
the sensation, the catch,
The choice-
To hear the turning of the world
The need-
To bleed into the center of the mind's eye
The longing of the fickle tongue
the cruelty of a halted mind
I say "Do you, girl"
turn all the lights on
slip into that manic space where
it all makes sense
Thoughts become words said louder and louder and louder
found not found
all underground
go deep!
And deeper to scratch that itch
Until you can't turn back
Until you can't turn back
Turn back.

Prey Harder
05:03
|

Man-
What I wouldn't give
To have basic rights
To live.
Man-
What I would do
If I could be unlike prey
and more like you.
Man-
The world we know
Won't be undone
Just like that
I mean-
Undone like a city
grown over by lush tall trees
In the meantime-
The bad men walk and run the show
In the meantime-
Do you talk to your Momma like that?
Punish men.

Put it down where you set it
Stay sane, don't forget it
Don't leave home
Don't leave home

Heavy Weight

I waited
for the right moment
to
strike
But it never came.
I waited
for the right moment
to stop
waiting
But it never came.

Moon Wax
03:42
|
|||
the hours trickle past like some soft stream
a distant, unreachable dream
they wane/wax obstrusive
untrusting sleep, on the edge
The heart palpitates as if witnessing the walking dead.
But, what can you do?
It is what it is what it is
This too, shall pass.
pass nothing to someone
and another day another month
another riot
of sunshine
blinds the mind
disquiet, sometimes
I'm feeling more awake
and less alive

Carry on.
Blues, be gone.
I choose
moving on.
And this is it
And is this it?
And this is it

The Lake
04:33
|
|||
Begin a dance, I let you lead, thought it's hard for me
you're so unannounced, you're so aloof
cut with vibrancy
Lips so tongue-tied
Dare me to swim the black lake, keep pace with me
deeper water, sweat thought it's cold, hard to breathe
You see, an idea that lives in my mind; to keep a fire
continuous breath, syncopated air
attuned desire
Lips so tongue-tied
Learn how to lie
Live like you'll die

California
03:58
|

sun sees emotion
we fall on our knees
pray for rain
unease dystopic
where to run?
the trees through windows
only burn
take it from me-
I'd love to know the truth
California
take it from me-
I'm nowhere I'm supposed to be
I'm nowhere closer to God
where you are, is where you are
the answer is just ahead
take it from me-
your heart, it's beating, joins the world
your heart, all speaking, knows you knows you
take it form me-
walk the walk, see who finds you
speak clearly, flush the noise
take a break, recognize the knife's edge
your heart, it's message and how it guides
your heart, it's longing, voice like a bell
California

The Ride
03:37
|
|||
what is it now?
who's to say
one informs another
relax, you're on the ride
who are you now?
I want to know
will you let me discover?
new facts, my ticket to ride
oh, the heart breaks open
goo spills out
all secrets are told
oh, the ribs crack, babe
in you, I melt
gold love does blind the eyes
I, I love you
forever
for free

The Wanting
03:18
|
|||
oh, the ways to feel!
it's hard to express
all of the joys and the lesser-thans
oh, the things to see
in the big bright world
the avenues still unexplored
oh, the souls we meet
and the ones we don't
I haven't enough fingers and toes
oh, the fields and streets
mountains and music
I can't count them on my fingers and toes
it goes- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
the wanting in my heart is to breathe
the wanting in my heart is to be free

Eroteme
04:52
|

lost man, what can I do?
to get through to you
is it so hard?
we used to share the same room
and clothes, and soap
whenever you weren't talking to me-
I was talking to you-
we were in touch, to say the least
we swam inside of a deep love,
like a spell out of time,
I thought you liked it, so
Why don't you call me anymore?
Is it something I
Is it a new find?
Was it something I
Was it your pastime?
pick out the ring so we can
swim all day and after
sleep at night
in your arms in your arms
pick out the day when we can
walk downtown and go to
the courthouse
you said it just like that
just like that
then we stopped sharing a
room downtown we only
pal around
you caught the amnesia
so
Why don't you call me anymore?
is it the way you treat those you're close to?
Why?

Zero
04:27
|

surprised to find out you've carried on
years with blinders, faces we put on
trust the process, till it's gone
trust the person, see them on
it's nice outside now, the world's open arms
air smells sweeter, the lights stay on
walks and details-
say you're not gone.
I miss the moment
I hang on
Love divine
Love divide
