There is More

I felt more in this world
than just the air, the sun and the light it made.
So don't set me
down in stone
Don't keep me there to stay.
I can't speak, even a little-
Let me scatter over grass and blow away.
You're whole life in a picture
of unpredictable shapes
A family ghost glows on a tape.
(There) -was always more to your Mother,
than her shield and her cover.
No time keepers say when our Reaper is awake.
Don't set me
down in stone
Don't keep me there to stay.
I want to speak-
inside your dreams
A place where together we can sway.
Don't keep me
down in a hole
Don't lower me any place.
I long to speak
even a little
Of new stars starting to awake.
Don't set me
down in stone
Don't keep me any place
I'll remain, if just a little.
Let me go or burn me up to float away.

Bird on Black Glass
09:15

If only you had seen
that glimmering.
What is this form and why am I deceived,
what to make?
Of this pounding on my face,
wearing down my beak.
If only I should see
absorbed light waves.
Pounding on my face,
reflected into me.
Mechanically repeat,
hammer and reshape.
Heavy depths
now all bent out of shape.
My heavy breath
lungs only gaining weight.
Sun baked
Dark Lake
My own warped face.
Unmake
that mistake?
All too late.
Vibrate
Vertebrae
My wings became weight.
Small break
Won't wake
His wings became weight.
Won't wake
Do not resuscitate
into the Dark Lake.
Guess I knew you'd be free,
I knew you'd go too high.
I knew you'd like what you'd find,
belief.
Please believe, believe me.
Only wanted you to be alright.
Honey, I'm sorry.
Dark glass cast a lyin' light.
Baby, I'm sorry.
That free bird had to die.

Face in the Water
03:46

You're on the fast track now
there's your face in the water
unsteady in shape and form.
You're out the first act -how-
did you sleep through the fire?
Woke up the second floor was no more.
Yeah on the fast track now,
with these mothers and fathers,
how'd the ceiling get so close to the floor?
We're on a new ride -wow-
take out the rear mirror,
give no power to what came before.
Yeah I read a line that mechanically cried
"I seen it all before!"
But I know time is no curse,
nor cause or cure.
We're on the fast track now,
there's our face in the water
unsteady in shape and form.
I'm out the first act -how-
I slept through the fire,
all I have's my hazy, smokey, lazy lore.
On the fast track now
with these mothers and fathers,
my ceiling got so close to my floor.
On this new ride -wow-
took out the rear mirror.
No more power in what came before.

Your head's on fire,
the long game's over.
Lay it down heavier, luckless losers.
More for the murderer,
make his life easier,
back in your husks,
shrivel up and don't breathe.
We set it on fire,
we lost, we don't learn.
Look out at the land and sea under the heat.
Quiet and calm on a long dog day,
but there's a toll to pay,
better you and not me.
We ran hope down, changed it with a bulldozer.
Presidential panzers on the move from the east.
No justice, no peace, no remorse or relief.
Just the elites.

Done and Delete

You can stand still and wander
far away, get lost forever.
So long, stared off asunder.
You can take a piece to keep.
(But leave it be)
When did life get so long-
(And be with me)
for small lights we curse upon?
(Let it be)
How have I made a song
(Done and delete)
with no love to sing along?
When did life get so long-
[They'd never looked upon so much beauty]
(So leave it be)
for small lights we curse upon?
(You only see)
How have I made a song
[he'd already flown along- head first to see]
(Peripheries)
with no love to sing along?
(of on screen dreams)
leave them be
be with me
let it be
done and delete
leave it be
Done and Delete.
