Blue Box
04:22

Our song is coming to an end
My love are you still trying?
It's time to walk away
And in time we will heal our lonely hearts
Oh our hearts...
We'd rather fall back in time instead of far apart
This moment spent together in one tick of the clock
Our love's a relative dimension in space
And my heart's a blue box
You stole to fly away
We fly away no more
Fading, fading, craving
Somewhere among grains of sand
Waiting, waiting, craving
In the end we’re all alone

Stone Intact
05:54
|

Pure desire a giant stone
Names I carve and cast a moan
Their absence is a mineral
Inorganic – beautiful
And so I keep carving names
Until nothing's left of the stone
I found intact
All affairs that make thee we bind to memory
Feast on detailed dreams
On the distant darkened line
We dance towards the dawn
Oh baby can’t you see?
Blood in my veins
Tears on my cheeks
This is my gain
Drawn from the rain
Flesh on my bones
Skin on my flesh
Love moves alone
Leaving us prone
Within, I plant a tree
At night I watch it grow
In your farness

The Dance
03:51
|
|||
Take my hand
Fall with me
My feet are bound
Make me see
Tie me down and
Dance with me
Feverous
Dignity
Intertwined
Rhythmic beats
Tie me down and
Dance with me
From within these eyes of innocence
A seed of lust is born
This dance shall set us free
Losing
Failing
Heartfelt endeavour
Through burial mounds
Of creeping guilt
I tread
The path of the dead
This dance shall set us free

Storm
06:51
|
|||
Red sun glowing in your eyes
Black engulfs fading minds
Clouds impending
Behind your silhouette
I prepare for a storm
Blinded senses yet I see
We’re at its burning mercy
Howling winds warm the core
Inside we’re dying like before
And I run
Through the downpour
Warm me to the core
And engulf me
And I run
Through the downpour to you
Howling winds warm me to the core
And your every howl warms me

My Heart Suggestible
02:52
|
|||
Here’s to my heart suggestible
to all the shades of pain
a hymn to life and death
and all states of being in between
Here’s to my back against the wall
fragile in the snow
in a poem I will call upon
the warmth of summer’s glow
And in that warmth of heaven I gladly fall asleep
for in my dreams I will return to hellish fields
So once more to my heart welcoming
the misery of each
this hymn to life and death
and love, the only remedy

Aeons & Life
05:51
|
|||
The vast stillness of a lake fed by no stream and out of which nothing flows
The natives of the lake veiled by the palest mist were surprised by a people very much unlike themselves
Descendants of humanity
Some caravan of travellers
Discovering remote debris
Increasing their supremacy
What mother Gaia gave to life
The gift we all need to survive
But a story has two sides
And so one must leave the stage
There can only be one race
In this distant land eons blend
There’s no compromise
One will have to die
Ruthlessly chased deeper into
The inaccessible realm of broken memories
Collision of eons and life
The elder destined to die
By the hands of delusions of superiority
Remember the next millennium
Seventeen temples cannot keep you safe

Pastels
05:29
|
|||
How long until leaves dry
And golden apples rot?
A whisper only felt in the rain
Almost audible but escaping anyway
Let’s regain the pastels we used
To paint our roses red
Some things should be in the dark
To sustain our hearts lid
Underneath unrealities
We defy cosmic autonomy
One drop, a harbinger of the rain
Washing all our paint away
Explain to me destiny’s
Morbid sense of irony
The threefold pain of realization
We have ourselves to blame
In the sediments of sanity
We pray for redemption
A remedy

Heave
04:45
|
|||
Chasing silver shimmers
Words echoing in here
Chasing
Inflating
Open-ended at all sides
Made for none
The ark has begun
To take in millions of doubts
Heave sails
On the waters told
Her light will saturate
The dark beneath
Stratify
Layers on layers
Of assumptions made
Glistening
It draws me in
It drowns me in reverb
Chasing
Inflating
Echoing
Sinking

I bleed poetry
Poe could only write about
I breathe wisdom
Erasmus could only speak of
I see patterns
Pascal could only calculate
And make connections
Sherlock Holmes could only wish he made them too
My thoughts are cold as the wind outside
And the chords strengthen a sense of despair
This is the time when I'm a cynic at best
Written thoughts on paper
Notes by an unstable muser
It doesn't matter
The glasses that should clarify are broken
And pages that I so desperately read,
Are torn apart by contradiction

Detour
05:02
|
|||
I am in no hurry
To complete a tragedy
Lips are reaching beyond the starlit wall
When you fail to stay
I am the errant
Astray in a nebulous gallery
We are wanderers for hope
But the trail is growing cold
Forlorn detour
We are wanderers for hope
But the trail is so cold…
When you fail to stay
Darling, a fly in the lamp reminds me
