Are we allowed to run?
Are we allowed to scream?
Can we still make promises out loud?
Are we allowed to play pretend and be kept safe?

down below the gray hill
sunflowers beckon, bloom
dust the ground with jet black seeds
whispering lies, from close behind
"we're better off with severed heads"
down below the gray
no sleep tonight
the ocean echoes in this careless dream
built to remind not to reap
idle days lasted long
our time seems slow
write me down or read me out loud
who would choose a name like Lysander?
down below the gray hill
sunflowers beckon bloom
grinning mouths with stained black teeth
"we're better off with severed..."
idle days lasted long
our time seems so slow
write me down or read me out loud
who would choose a name like Lysander?

Day Old Rain

Where am I?
The same street
Trains overhead
Day old rain falls to my lips
And it tastes so real
I’ve lost time again
Believed my own lie
Day will come around anyway
I woke up
Back to the place where fire
Touched the side of my face
Stole my eye
How could I think that I would ever leave
Leave this place

Sewing your old lines you thought you’d pinned down clouds
But I ask myself why they no longer rhyme
While walking home
Your voice inside my head reminds:
“Follow the line”
One my own again, over and again
Pale light pours down
Switch our cups
Pretend like there’s not poison in each one
Stay a while
Speak to me your stories I’ve heard before
I remember every line
So tell me why can’t I answer when you call
Eyes stay closed
This suddenly blind half life
Won’t carry me far on my own
Let the sleeping lie
But how can I
Wordless you within me stir
Be my eyes
Wait inside
Owe me a lie
Four whole minutes
Wandering life half blind
Streaming streets alive
Please show me the doorway

Pardon me I seem so aimless
Do I know you?
Something tells me we’ve met somewhere once before
Far away
Shape of your face
Calls to mind
Words I once said
I hear them form on your lips
A promise
Inked in your iris
Maps to where he left us

Still Lives
05:02

|
Frozen, waiting, ice-blind
Perfect preservation
Shudder phantoms
Wordless calling
Fading echo
Day turns to night
Fading still lives
Morning moondown paralyzed
Glass-eyed imitation
Something below, eyelids shuttered
Crawling upward
Day turns to night
Fading still lives
Breathing statues
Swell and subside
Visions dancing
Sewing our sighs
In our crowded gallery

Hi, come inside, open any door you like
I was fine
Down here just me and the patterned sky
Perfect weather
Nothing changes nothing ever dies
Stay forever
Leave them behind
All of this
From field to forest
To the top of the mountain
Flowed from my eyes
Rain crashes down
Wash away your needless thoughts of home

Settle down
The battlefront is in the garden
Play like you’re dead, up again
Feel the cold front move up the wall to slay leaves
See the sun, make sure you’ve fixed its position
Because we’re never coming in
Lips that never speak
Eyes that never lie
What’s so wrong with that?
We’re dreaming half the time
Will it ever change?
Settle up
Repair the lines in the linen
We’re all taking chance on this hand
Growing colder just waiting for the hands to realign
Some would call it death
Some would argue life
Time won’t let it stop
Nothing ever does

Sunless

I’ve been too afraid to lie with open eyes
You’ve built something great and tall
You run before you crawl
I’ll take it all from here
Reclaim the sun
It’s alive
Don’t look down

Who is alive when there’s no light
He’s held the cord too long to wonder why or say it out right
If there’s a word that he could write down
Turn the other way
Who is alike and where did we come from
Are you going away
Going today
Time will tell: is it day or night?
Is there something we forgot to write down?
Turn the other way
Where’d you bury them?
Is there a way?
Is there a word?
Keep them alive don’t look down
Look ahead just keep your eyes up
Wade back out
Try to run and try to get out
Rest, unrest
Light pollution
Let your eyes refocus
Dissolution
Either way there’s something there to write down
Please invite me inside
There was nothing slipping through my fingers
Ghost of a thought

Retire now
I’ve had enough
Couldn’t see until now
Where to go
Retire now
I’m already gone
So forget me not
Won’t take long
Stay a while
Speak to me your stories I’ve heard before
It won’t take long
Longer than you thought
