Theme Eye

absurd, the limping world
face down in mythic swirl
enduring actuals unseen
alone and drifting on
unmoored in troubled fog
i know the burden falls on me
internal escapade
entranced 'til darkness fades
collapsing consciousness between
through dreams in brightened sleep
infinite fathoms deep
somewhere the fire sings to me
again i see a face
the years cannot erase
and tightly grasp the memory
///
without tomorrows
voices in shadow
never wait
tonight
a chorus
aflame
stays

Bedface
02:08
|
|||
|
eyes are rolling sight unseen within your epic dream
are you fighting, lost or flying through expanded time?
as my waking cares resume
all is still with you
you...
i'm awake for you
i will wait for you
frequent bargaining with sound
the cup is cooling down
impatient companion whines as the sun gets high
bedface lasts all afternoon
marks of peace on you
you...
i'm awake for you
i will wait for you
wide awake for you

The Island Years

in an odyssey
through my painted memory
i recoil at expectations
and guffaw in wanderlust
unresponsive to the rust
in the stares across the table
as they see i'm not afraid
of the choices i will make
starting with emancipation
as i row and row and row...
away from it all
don't know you anymore
as waves carry on
don't know you anymore
in a foreign age
ever present all the same
catapulted by desire
is a scattering of plans
raked to monuments of sand
for the hidden congregation
to proclaim i am alive
never swallowed by the tide
such a droll quixotic journey
as i grow and grow and grow...
away from it all
don't know you anymore
as waves carry on
don't know you anymore
///
inside out
forming a sound
outside in
not if, when
as it wakes
i cannot wait
as it flies
makes me feel so
high...

I Am On Drugs
01:19
|
|||
|
underneath the surface lies (humdrum, flat and dry)
sinking into hollow time (fantasy defined)
i uplift my mind to see (through eternity)
and laugh at your reality (he he he he)
drawn into a glowing door (15 after 4)
navigating through the floor (for a little more)
from the street i heard your sounds (echoes all around)
so I have come to party down (ha ha ha ha)
i am on drugs

Trophy Wife Karma
04:36
|
|||
|
darkening summer
another fleeting escape
fortunate lover
shifting the mood of a fading day
into the hollow
nursing elaborate lines
honed bravado
to leave the trifles behind
safe inside the soft confines
another jive in abiding time
///
residue farmer
hovering over the scene
trophy wife karma
shifting impermanent dream
looming in the vacancy
a closing circle waits unseen

Ultrachorus

|
dawning on the second morning
bleary from the nights of worry
i see you and the past is over
dissolving in a gasp of wonder
eclipsing the moon is a beautiful son
born from the fire as the light of my life
always
stay forever in my arms
turn the tide little child
|

|
within your embrace, so out of the blue
i understand deja vu
it's like I've known you for all of my life
never before, but in time
rising and falling on infinite fronts
everything's happening at once
so we conduct as the song writes itself
carried along, just as well
i can remember the future...
