are we right to be here
or is there something blocking your eyes
come look out my window
tell me everything is fine
you knew it wasn't right
but you still start the fight
I'm just trying to find some reason
for this madness in my mind
help me to decide
cause you caused a great divide
and the cavity's as deep as all the pockets you've lined
tell all the families
you'll protect them with your alibis
how were you born better
than the rest of us you undermine
-the cycle
though it starts, I'm not unhappy at all
I've thought through this, and it's something I can control
but something will happen to trigger the beast
and bring all my mistrust to bear
it's not who I am, I'm just blowing off steam
It's someone that I too abhor
then we'll start the cycle again
this is your favorite part
sooner or later we'll be back again
and this is my favorite part
I can see it now, you're looking at me
with eyes that could burn the sun
sheepishly I grasp for a piece of anything
that I once had before
well, it's over the horizon, but it's fine with me
if you want to save my soul
to me it's clear, the sun's already here
sometimes it's just hard to let go
a sidestep, it's clearly
but can you see through my lies
to offer me your hand would be better than I can
offer you in return
your dislike of the critical light
will keep you away from me
never try to bear all that I make you wear
it's just a way to take the blame from me
-danny
wrinkled by the wine of time
an inconsequential vine am I
to sing alone and praise the stars
that blink before my disbelieving eyes
shadows meander around the cornered ceiling
dancing jigs in my accolade
of songs I've sung before
I'll ride the wind tonight
as I close my eyes
I see the maiden bending down with wings
to cool me from the burning sun
in the green where my soul was born
the wooden angel tried to comfort me
sang a song from every direction
and I was the focal point
musical waves carried me high above
the falsity of green
and into blue and red
it never ended
but I sense it did
-earworm
drifting over the pines I see the the face without the makeup
holding on to me without a sign of ever letting go
my mind will drift in leisure
knowing there's no anchor
telling me it's time to go
swooping down over the sound
I see our cottage lying
reminding me of all the days
that I have left behind me
it flips through like a slide show
revealing no more bitter cold
one day I will let go
the train is very crowded but we find a place to sit down
looking like a mirror your tired eyes will start to shutdown
thinking over actions it becomes so very clear to me
nobody will help us so forever it's just you and me
doesn't really matter if our squatter's right are up
as long as you and I are free
sleeping in the car with you
I'm energized and able
lack of sleep has made the world
seem like just a fable
the sun is going down
but the bridge is close ahead
reminds me of the day when we finally arrived
relaxing now I see the buildings across the evening sky
and turn this long day off
-belief
(juice for jesus)
why do people need to know
the answers to everything
as soon as one is uncovered
another question takes its place
and it opens the possibility
to something new in life
eternally
I think all beliefs or faiths
are always debatable
they're just a way for people
to make some order out of chaos
and to feel better about their significance
in the scheme of things
I just seem to know
there's no reason behind those moments
they just happen
those things I tend to believe in
because they seem mysteriously to suggest
that I am plugged
into a universe of linked particulars
I don't have a lot of faith in anything
save that I can do
whatever I set my mind to doing
I believe without much reservation
in that
as a matter of policy
maybe I'm trying to break it down too much
I just know that when it comes to things
I believe or don't believe
I never feel any choice in the matter
is there any volition in believing
-not
my dance not my song
my urge in anything I see
stop this feeling tearing me
away from you, away from me
away to any hand I see
stretching out, but less withdrawn
if I stay, the feeling's gone
forget her face
forget her hand
leading me through this demon land
lacking, learning, love or something
love is a word I do not trust
mapped it to so many things
given it freely to those who reigned
this is not my dance this is not mysong
-sappy
song I
I can dream awake or I can dream asleep
I see you as I want you to be
With me growing inside you, you growing inside you
Put us together, we forget ourselves
I see you taking care
you know I always there
watching you be what you want to be
If there's a problem, I'll fix it
when you fall you'll be lifted
things in the way
they will be gone by the next day
mental pictures
growing clearer
spoke to me today
time is going faster
and there's so much to master
but it seems all bright today
I know it seems stressful
up to now it's been restful
there's still much to explore
between the two us us
it could go either way
it might not happen today
you fulfill me so much
there is no need for a cure
I want a beautiful baby
you may think it crazy
and I've got to admit
that it's a selfish thing
there is a need that's inside me
it took forever to find me
I never felt it before
you became a part of me
love begets itself
breaths life into the rest of us
-sappy
song II
if it lasts longer than this song
it will burn on till the dawn
when you finally give in
let the sunlight in
burns you when
you let the sunlight in
don't cover up your skin
it'll only hurt for so long
bandaged wounds heal
something deeper has been revealed
still aches, the memory
seeping slowly out of me
tried to hold it back so long
where did I go wrong
I came on bended knee
come and rescue me
embraces you when
you let the sunlight in
come to me again
I'll wait
-a
shadow of you
I am as thoughtless as a fool can be
dancing with illusions
dying in the night
taking hold of a hand that can't even see me
stumbling drunk
standing up straight
making my plans
burning the blueprint
all of me is a memory
all of you is what I knew
it's a strange understanding
that comes and goes
it's always with us
but we never know
the irony in day to day
the vacancies in what we say
to never hear another's heart
to never see drives us apart
and it's said it's understood
these things we can't say
that this truth is as common
as the night and the day
it's true that the problems the world faces today
are as simple as the feelings that we all lock away
you can't let them out or your mind is askew
so I live and I love a shadow of you
-wedding
song
remember when you told me
you'd wait forever till you
found the one who loved you
as much as you adored her
for many years I watched you
wait without true loneliness
believing that you'd find true love
and now it's obvious
that she is the one who
will show you what is glorious
holding back for only you to know
for many years you'd wanted
to hold this hand before you
to know this love is all there is to know
in younger days you saved me
fought off all my enemies
became my closest brother in my heart
you talk about your great love
you'd conquer hell to save her
don't you know I'd be there by your side
until I fell
knowing there is one who thinks
the world of you can make you think
it feels like heaven can wait
her heart is such a precious thing
you'd take it all to ease her pain
so that she can have heaven today
-goodnight
thoughts too fast to read
I'm here again
caught inside this senseless whirlwind
pretending all of you are my true friends
in every question there's another lie
where do all the answers lie
somewhere in a womb a dead man cries
it's locked in me again
I'm locked in myself
the tide will go out again
the chains will lift up the damned
world will strike me down
this damned world will strike me down
sleeping beauty
hold your tongue
speak not the words of the ladybug
your promise to awake will never come
listen
these are the words I never said
echo in this empty head
we need you love
like we need our daily bread
love
I know not what you are
your name is like an empty jar
just a room to house our life's content
world will strike me down
this damned world will strike me down
goodnight
