To Fold

Winter will fall away, parting til another rainy day
It’s as if there’s no escape from this
Place, another bed to eat
Whisper from between the sheets:
Ask me what you want to be
Have you seen my face?
It bears a telephone
I’m begging through the dialtone
Tell me where I need to go
Let’s climb inside these walls
Open up
Alright let’s
Sit there and, open mouthed, figure outloud
The wishes how they sparkle when you fail to see
So stick your fingers in the essence, is it not enough?
And ask it if it’s worth it now to fall in love!
Take everything you wanted to put in a home
And cast in a shell of what is all your own
Let’s climb inside these walls
Open up
Stand tall your face forgives you
This road is not within you
We know what you’ve been hiding
I’ve been waging war
I’ve been waging war upon your memory
You knew this nature from the start
I’ve been waging war upon your memory
The nature to let it fall apart
I’ve been waging war upon your memory
If peace is a lesson of the heart—
Why have I been waging war upon your memory?

Signs

All the signs led you home
In silence again
Chasing a cross to bear
The necklace your mother wears
The anchor in stone that held you there
Where your mind
Could always silence
The way that time went by without you
You were alive
With something fighting
The better side of you, now you’re holding on
Barely holding on
To it
Where is your head now?

You were – You were the first
To turn me outward
Lost for the last time
In mirrored stranger’s eyes
At the world’s end — we gathered the rain,
The beasts of earth unchained
Oh my god
All my gods
Have come
Hands hang toward the sun
Burning and turning for no one,
Lost imaginings
A phantom or a king —
Which one comes to me?
Like a makeshift malady
The weight on me in sleep
Keep god in the machine
Until now my soul is love
Heresy and lust are on my tongue
The world that I once loved
Fear will be the father of us all
Oh my God,
Oh my God
is gone.
We will be born again
In the star light…

Mirrors

Gave my glistening wounds away
The mind makes mirrors when there’s room to play
So hang your efforts and raise your chin…
But I took what I wanted
Turned my face from the sun and
Swore to moon I could follow
(But she is not a fool
There is nothing to follow…
Brother you learn to choose)
So I took toward the sun
Gave up everything I could become
Saw the ghost of my false sympathies
Forging iron to bear down on me
Where he sang:
Don’t you know that a drought is increasing
Where the road severs lines in the evening?
Drink all the wine, spare the reason
This is only a dream
I left my blistering womb today
A mindmade weapon and some hell to pay
But if I caged my efforts and wore your skin…
Would I take what I wanted?
Turn my face from the sun and
Dare the moon not to follow?
(But I am not a fool
Dig a hole where you’ll wallow
Til there’s nothing to lose)

Collapse

To lie in fire
To hide in fire
To fight in fire
To ride in fire
To light a fire
To hide a fire

Before Us
02:52
|
|||
|
Creatures from the dawn
slain inside your arms
you never asked for it
The rolling eyes of glass
Red-yellow and black...
Complications,
Complications are out of your mind
Just your hands
And a hole in the ground
In the eyes of your God
Do you still see yourself?
In the eyes of the law
Is it heaven or hell?
They were here before us
They were here before us...

Red Moon
03:25
|
|||
|
Spiderwebs of smoke crawlin’ down, drifting down
Fireflies leavin’ trails of light
Buzzin’ ‘round in a dark sky
Traces...
Fireworks boom as we watch fire die,
Fireworks boomed as we watched our fire die
It’s time to let go, my cover is blown
Oh how I’ve grown
Emerge the greater me
Fly on through fire
Changing my tune
Changing my colors
Red moon rises...

Lifted
04:33
|
|||
|
We walked alone, in front of us:
Soft setting leaves and a precipice
Then suddenly
Your face gives off
And I’m lifted
And I’m lifted
Awaken, you’ve waited long enough
Roll down the hill again and fall
Into
Your eyes were born in front of me,
In front of me
You said it would fall apart
You said
To doubt, to fold to breaking
To break, to dance in painted awe
If I’m listening
If I told you to wade in the fire would you burn slow
And rise as a brighter man?
If I told you to wade in the fire would you burn slow
And rise as a brighter man?
I am, I am
