White Desert
04:33
|
|||
all I hear is silence
and the sand being blown
I’m still waiting on a drop
or I will turn into a stone
white rocks all around me,
burning sand under my feet,
please don’t leave me alone,
or I will turn into a stone
you know I feel you
you know I fear you
and every time you see me leave
you pull me back into you
my white desert,
anxious theater,
no way around it,
only me can face this shit.
my aerie, my sanctuary,
though just a little drawing
on a cigarette packaging
[take me now
sip me now
take me now
sip me now
take me now
sip me now
you want me here
I don’t wanna go]
all I hear is silence
the sand is being blown
ready to serve my sentence
I will turn into a stone
white rocks all around me,
the calm before the storm,
the day is almost done,
I will turn into a stone

Unfit Wing
03:11
|
|
||
hear me now
one look back
before you go
read my lips
remember
what struck a chord a while ago
how could you
not notice
that all along your eyes were closed
it surely never crossed your mind
that there’s a different reason
why I hit you, why I scolded, why my eyes where dry
I am an unfit wing that hits
the fine glass ceiling as we
fly until we find a game that pain will never gratify
[there’s a glitch, here’s the switch, fever pitch,
internal computer device is a witch
double double the beats, triple triple triple the beats
made me turn into a beast
walking backwards up the streets
flying flags, empty bags, number tags
everyone looking at me look at ’em scumbags
dissipate, fluctuate, eradicate the fate, (bait!)
let me fix your smoking gun,
and I’ll give you some time to run]
in a river in an ocean
an anticipatory notion
will let me go
I’m no longer holding on to
the lotion and the sacred balm and
healing voice of life below

The Enthusiast
03:30
|
|||
We can, we can, we can all do miracles
try to imagine, it really works
I do, I do wanna break these very walls
who’s gonna join me, how many more
oh yeah, oh yeah it’s exactly that you care
oh, you got to be there, I know you care
do it, do it, take all action, be aware
times will be different, I know you care
so be there, beware, raise word, do that!

Not a Falling Star
03:43
|
|||
I see a red light from afar
yet it is not a falling star
I hear a noise it frightens me
the only thing I want is us to flea
no fence, no doors, dust on my clothes
I don’t recognize the shape of a rose
you say we have to leave tonight
and I bounce my head left and right
I see a red light from afar
and I understand it all falls apart
I hear a noise it frightens you
trembling ground in my heart, we’ll make it through
no fear, no hate, we’ll sleep soundly
we just need to get across the border, my baby
I say we have to leave tonight
but you bounce your head left and right
mamma I cannot breath
darker is the sea
so close to my future
but it’s all a blur
I see a red light from afar
yet it is not a falling star
I see a red light from afar
and I bounce my head left and right

L'Araignée
03:37
|
|||
tell me something ordinary
let the beast stay out of sight
something dreamlike, not too scary
reassuring it’s alright
little spiders help me carry
the weight of a lonely night
quench my thirst and fill my belly
black thoughts turning into white
time’s a changing, hurry hurry
is what they say but I don’t mind

Lone Zest
03:48
|
|||
holding like a child, oh dear
let me hold the world as I used to be
holding like a flame, oh dear
let me hold the world as I used to be
holding like a voice, oh dear
let me hold the world as I used to be holding
I will notice the smoke signals
of your subconscious
I grant permission to hug, squeeze, caress
that’s why I’m here to live
I will care and I will give, I will share
your adorable fire

Borderline
03:51
|
|||
is it laughable to say the air is mine
trees will grow just fine
across your borderline
are we animals enough to feel squeeze
the rivers and the ponds
forget how to freeze
what great invincible flame will rise ahead
to make you rinse your mind
telling good from bad
oh, don’t let it go, don’t let it go
what an ordinary show
from prophecy to wisdom into fraud
all along
will we be excused across the great divide
responsibilities
are they left behind
look at what we misuse full on the beaten track
will we dare to turn
will we find a crack
what great invincible flame will rise ahead
to make you rinse your mind
telling good from bad
oh, don’t let it go, don’t let it go
what an ordinary show
from prophecy to wisdom into fraud
all along

Moment's Pure
03:51
|
|||
light the space, imagine all beyond
then try to embrace the magnitude of a place called home
flow in time, never reach the shore
then go and explore how long is a while when the moment's pure
|
||||
9. |
||||
standing in the snow
look at the stork she's early
how could she have known
a hemisphere away
white as a ghost in marble
a coral will fade
but look at that man standing tall
cracking of the ice
the Arctic Circle collides
with sweet summer skies
softly whirls the sand
the bee, perplexed as are we
unknowing his land
but look at that man standing tall
|

Your Name
05:13
|
|||
in my darkest hour
every drop is sour
and I recall your name
on my brightest day
life is a golden ray
and I recall your name
in times in between
I’m playing the scene
and I recall your name
