Little Sister
05:02

little sister of mine
alone inside your mind
this body you despise
your beauty you must find
little sister of mine
these images are lies
your demons to defy
your beauty you will find
love will come to you
little brother of mine
I was once in your time
bitter and unkind
talents you deny
love will come to you
angry son of the times
regain your vacant mind
leave your blame behind
your fathers you must find
love will come to you
a love I know is there
my hopes and fears laid bare

Proximity

proximity can lead to all kinds of things
I ignore them with a smile
I was absorbed in your eyes
I was absorbed in my mind
this vicinity to tired sentiments
ones I thought I had left behind
my thoughts are flowin like molasses
my words stain like I'm spillin wine
I didn't have the days to give to you
never realized that I wanted to
in this situation unclean
all the messy things that I dream
proximity exposes all kinds of things
frustration unrefined
thought I was patient but now I see
all these nuances of my mind
I want so far away from you
in some search for peace of mind
but my dreams there all carried
couldn't find no silence by design
as I stumble through my solitude
afraid of what I'll find
that I remained so far away from you
an open promise that I denied

Barricades

there are days when I can't say word, without wasting my breath
and I always end up wondering how long I'll continue like that
there's a look that I get, when I'm lost in my head
but when I come clean, I always regret what I've said
there are mornings when that look greets me in the mirror
and I know what I'm in for, but I can't always be too sure
so I try not to speak, but I rarely succeed
it's hard not to make any noise, competing for air to breathe
whoa
life in the masses
makes me feel like I'm so far from home
I take time, to search for some solace
just to shake the dust off of my bones
skittish like a beaten dog, I'm bitter like a caged one
my tail tucked under, like I'm hiding from someone
there's this mountain inside of me that I ain't climbed yet
I'm hoping when I get to the top, she's there and I catch the sunset
whoa
life in the masses
there's a hardness sittin' heavy in my heart
everything ends before it even starts
let me chip away at this rock I hold within
let it weather, so I may begin
barricades aren't built to crumble
barriers aren't built to fall
time erodes all things regardless
the cracks are growin' in your walls
there's a pinhole in the darkness
with bright light shining through
shadows are so hard to live with
so don't argue with the truth
the sound of water, it echoes in my dreams
let it wash away the darkness within me
the sound of water, it echoes in my dreams
let it wash away the darkness behind me
in my purest form, I'm nothing but a breeze
blowin' steady, from the mountains to the sea
let this water carry me to the place I want to be
if not while waking, then at least when I sleep

Steady
07:03
|

these trees around me, they seem to know
something that I don't
so comfortable in their skin, my envy they win
they win me over
living their lives, without these questions
that I despise
they win me over
these leaves around me, that sail on the wind
they swirl and stumble
and then settle back in the ground again
into the soil, back from where they came
all questions answered
the beginning and the end
the same
will I ever settle?
could I ever settle?
thoughts accumulate, come together like clouds
stormy or clear
rain comes and it stays, the wind blows a different way
climate shifting, my eyes see the difference
I feel it too
as these bones age, they feel a different way
I try to settle and take root
but it ain't a simple thing
this moon above me, with its regular glow
knowing its phases: from the dark to the light it goes
a steady circle, always keeping its shape
empty some days, but a fullness awaits
could I be so steady?
could I see the circle?
could I be the circle?

Land of Compulsive Sorry
04:51
|
|||
in the land of compulsive sorry
fears flow like water, after the summer rain
again and again
in the land of the heavy tomorrow
plans never change, they just fade away
the tragedy stays
with so much to fear, what do you feel?
in those quiet moments, if they come
what is the taste on the tip of your tongue?
is it bitter? is it numb?
in the land of remote emotion, removed and far away
the son never penetrates the shadowy day
with so much inside,
buried under the tide those around you bear,
how do you maintain
a semblance of yourself and nobody else?
with this state of things, what song do you sing
in a quiet voice, timid and restrained?
given the chance to scream at the top of your lungs,
just how honest would you become?

Remains
08:44

I and a Gemini woke up again
I'm alive, I haven't died: what a funny thing
divide my inside: now and then
retire my alibi: my broken wings
I needed a way out
change of scene
release, and what remains?
release, and what's gained?
release, and what?
release...
my mind is the only one that knows where I've been
my eyes are the only ones that saw what I've seen
stare at something long enough, it stares right back at you
avert your eyes or feign a smile, there's nothing you can do
you lie to yourself for long enough, and the lies start coming true
hide from yourself for long enough, and he's catchin up on you
where's my home in the garden?
where's my home in the sun?
where's my glad of redemption,
where my focus flows undone?
what's my shade on the spectrum?
what's my sheen when I'm one?
what terrain will shape my spirit?
what refrain will last be sung?
