you will never leave

I keep searching for a known unknown
Among the ashes that I call my home
Have a heart before it turns to stone
You say you will never leave me alone
Yellow fields and a pale blue day
All you notice are the black and grey
When we’re together we are on our own
But you say you’ll never leave me alone
Watching shadows eat the world inside the shell
Feel your presence in the gravity well
Loss of future in/and the long drive home
You said you‘d never leave me alone

wolf is at the door

Sing me lies
Close my eyes
Under night
It’s alright
The wolf is at the door
The cub is in the cave
The hunter’s on the path
To an unknown grave
The bird is on the land but
The flag is on the sea
Buried in the sand
A beacon now to be

if only

If only your vision were clear
then I would not be here
you would not let me
you would forget me
You would reject me
you would infect me

the day of

Sunny Monday
Furrowed brows
Dreaming awake
Streaks of fire coming through the clouds
Light up the day
Lifted on
A breath of gray
Sound and silence
Burst around
Floating skyward
Drifting through the pieces of the town
Light up the day
Lifted on
A breath of gray
The day of
The day of love

‘Oumuamua (in process)
03:51
|

|
Mind the oars, boys
Hide your heart
Their songs are just noise
Tear you apart
Don’t believe the signals you receive
They’ll pull the heart right off of your sleeve
And drag you down
Hard to ignore the plight and the pleas
They come to the shore and fall to their knees
And call out loud:
‘Oumuamua - Take us with you
‘Oumuamua - Come and save us
‘Oumuamua - We lit a fuse
‘Oumuamua - To erase us / We’ll sing your praises

red forest
03:16
|
|||
|
Figures in the forest
Singing under breath,
Needles to the red
Left right left
It’s flowing in the trees
Sloughing off rust
It’s caught in the
Dust into blood into us
Riding (on) the wind
Molded little men
Followed them home
Boiling within
Fingers in the porridge
Cadence in clicks
Every step heavier
Further in the mix

sink (0.0000006%) swim
03:04
|

|
I know you thought this would never affect you
Now you’re caught and they’ve come to collect you
So distraught, so just let me let you
Gather your thoughts before they come to get you

call on
05:04
|
|||
|
Hide the kids
furl the flags
Tear them all
into rags
Stop the flow
Keep a limb
A tourniquet
And a hymn
Would it be too much,
To ask you to go away?
Call on a higher power, or
Call on the firepower
Either way
The result is the same

i've been thinking
03:19
|
|||
|
I’ve been thinking ‘bout a lot of things lately
Tired of watching all of my friends die
I might have done a couple things for you to hate me
But I think I still deserve a reason why
Can’t you see I’m in a way you can’t conceive
Can’t you see: in a way, I’m in the way
Don’t you grieve about conceptions of deceit
Don’t you fret about the people in the way
Every body has a place
Anybody, any race
Everybody is disgraced
Every body is a waste
I’d burn a forest down just to find a new leaf
I’d turn a castle back to sand if I knew how
I never knew there could be levels higher than grief but
You never lowered me to underneath the ground

only humans
05:52
|
|||
|
I’m afraid I’ll forget your face
Cruelly, time does erode and erase
I can’t help the way my thoughts grow thin
But it feels like I’m losing you again
And everyone owes 30 more
The lives today, the lives before
Hesitant to upset/regret/express
Just repeat and forget
We’re only human, so they say
Only humans act this way
It’s only human to ignore,
We’re only humans in a war

|
I believe that the rivers will burst forth
I believe that the oceans will boil
I believe that the sky will turn against us
I believe we belong to the soil
We will leave our pitiful resources (remorses)
And believe our mother will morn
But I believe… she will infect us
With everything we wanted and more
You’re among the haunted
The wasted and unwanted
Left without a homeland
Wandering and a nomad
Desperate and so glad
For a chance you thought you had
Yet… you are left
Forsaken and bereft
I believe there’s a - nother landing
We’ll abandon our ships on the shore
We’ll be greeted with open arms, ‘cause
They don’t know what’s in store
