Bested Bones
05:20
|

(in memory of Robbie Lloyd-Wilson)
tomorrow's ghost
upon the brow
another day
upon the back
what could have been
what will become
mountain deep
ocean high
bested bones, bested bones
long gone victories
another year
upon the back
bygone ghosts
upon the shoulders
what could have been
what will become
the bested bones
the vested hopes
mountain deep
uncover me
unbury me
you sheltering clay

Short Of One Dimension
05:53

rains fall in the water
lines traced in the curve
saw the gull in the sky head off
it goes
days warmed by the summer
eyes closed by the sun
lay your hand across
rid this mind of thought
and let him wake remembering
all things forgotten in the water
let him wake to bring them in
memories faded in the crossing
here’s the point ending the line
here’s the line ending the surface
here’s the surface ending the form
here’s a man searching for context
for his lost geometries
always short of one dimension

Sever Me
04:24
|

tides will heave and turn
throw us apart
to come undone
hold as we collide
the conflict tamed
we melt as one
sever me, sever me
and i will fade
sever me, sever me
sever me, sever me
my hands will cup the flame
it’s never far
from burning out
the hurt i can disguise
the bruises hide
far below
sever me, sever me
sever me, sever me
sever me, sever me
until that day
we’ll be as one

Passenger's Wake
03:58

here was the place
glimpsed imperfection unveiling
all about
that was my life
blurred in the landscape that rolls by
ushered out
render me new
traced into fable
an outline in the wind
i’ve been riding this train
and I’ve come all this way
i won’t be heading back home
where those echoes belong
i’m done holding the flame
for the rest of my days
i’m just riding this train
to lose my way
i’ve been riding this train
now I’ve come all this way
i won’t be heading back home
where those echoes belong
i’m done holding the flame
for the rest of my days
i’m just riding this train

Lessons In Doubt
04:05
|

when i awoke
blind in the night
half i spoke
moving the air
i find myself there
they sleep in here with us
they move in time with us
born in the night
stole into day
cry what a heart can feel
brave in the day
coiled in the night
under the weight we keel
and when the bricks tumble
i’ll send it all falling
and then hope
i leave it behind me
prey they won’t find me
after all
they sleep in here with us
lessons in doubt
caught in the fray
worn by the life we live
lessons in doubt
oh how we writhe
bound by the hopes we give
i’ll drive you on faster
then watch you fall forwards as i stall
don’t make any promise
when did i learn this? can’t recall
i’ll wait for my sunrise
providence coursing to and fro
i’ll break the doors open
take what i came for and then go

Spider

i remember tomorrow
how could i forget
i don't even know
what you’re staring at
i am but an empty window
my ring left alone
i know
i am a lonely spider
i am a lonely rider
yeah… i’m an outsider
i remember tomorrow
now i try to forget
i don't even know
what you’re staring at
i am but an empty flower
my scent left alone
i know
i’m a lonely spider
i’m a lonely rider
yeah… i’m an outsider
tomorrow’s full of it
we don't even know
we don’t even know
what we’re staring at
no more goodbyes
no more ties
no more lies
its goodbye

Losing
09:11

(save the world)
she cries in hurt
unsolve her pain
before she keels out of frame
know what to say
before she’s gone
out of her skin in the numb of cold
save her world

Another Chance
04:00
|
|||
give me one minute more
and let me just
give me another chance
to listen
to hear the world
the void
the sound it makes
the wind
the earth
the fire
high water
was all yet said and done?
please let me adjust
give me another chance
to try it
to tell the world
the void
the sound i made
the wind
the earth
the fire
high water
the wind
the earth
the fire
high water
