Haunted eyes
Lifted by dance
The sweet perfume
Of old romance
Talking and coughing
And shaking for something
A voice of howling
Is running from nothing
A glass
A snake
A golden white chair
It is falling softly now
The howl
It comes form an icy steel throat
It rides a horse
With the horns of a goat
It gallops across
The flatlands of death
And carries with it
Our hopes and regrets
A mask
A face
A dusty brown hat
It is falling softly now
Electrified by a sun
That burns the night
I want to hear you say
It's all for for something
I've got to hear you say
It's all for something
That you cannot control
When your bones
Become ash
We will take you
To the mountain
Haunted eyes
Lifted by dance
The sweet perfume
Of old romance
Talking and coughing
And shaking for something
A voice of howling
Is running from nothing
A glass
A snake
A golden white chair
It is falling
Into arms unknown

Mouth to Match
05:17
|
|||
With the eye of a horse
And a mouth to match
Oh, this dream of speed and sweat
Muscle under skin, that hot skin
Like a jagged cliff
With the valley far below
Yes, that's where the blood flows
From one heart

Burning Shoals
03:02
|
|||
Buoyant moss
In the sea
Ancient tongues
Surge through me
The sun takes the ache
And reminds us what's at stake
If we always do what's easy
In the burning shoals
A snake coils
To bite its tail
In the bitten mind
One finds lonesome time
And the fears
Of centuries

Camry
02:56
|

You're too late
To take me with you
It's hard to
Relate to
So keep me with you
Opened up the door to the Camry
I climbed on in
Said bye to the family
Took a lone drive through the Allegheny
Never mind
I don't mind
Got plenty of time
Pass a slow truck
As the snow falls >>> Sharp!
Pass a slow truck
As the snow falls >>> Sharp! Sharp!
Pass a slow truck
As the snow falls >>>
Sharp curve swerve
And go spinning
Slip, flip, bang - crash!
Four wheels tripping
You're too late
To take me with you
It's hard to
Relate to
So keep me with you

Losing Light
04:54
|
|||
Oh gentle man
Of grace and strength
Your pain
Is more than I can shake
What's the rush
To take you away?
Losing light
In the fading day
Wisdom chimes
"The only thing that is rare is time"
And I am lucky
To have spent
Some of mine
With you
My sweet friend
The light
Will always shine

Priest
02:11
|

And the priest gave way
To the cat on the wheel
With paws clawed
Its attention drawn to your face
To your bones
To your marrow
And tomorrow you find the itch
Is quick to serve the hand
While the priest
Gives his love once again
And again, and again, and again
Says "It's alright
Let go what's known
God you've grown
Shoulder to shoulder
Now that you're older
The flame's not dead
It's just your desire"

The Time We Have
02:26
|

Dense liquid boiled over
Onto the varnish
Hunter at the edge
The seal in the water
The spear
Was thrown
The net cast
A clobbered skull
Would be much faster than this
Give me what you are
And take me when you go
Our breath is short
And movements slow
This is the time we have
His skin was dotted
With ancient signs...
Petroglyphs
To be read by touch,
The braille of lovers
Give me what you are
And take me when you go
Our breath is short
And movements slow
This is the time we have

Relative Stranger
04:27
|
|||
Shape shifting wounds wind
And disintegrate
Mechanical calls
On the wings of grass
The crooked stone
This seed once sewn,
It will only grow
To defy duplication
It's feasting eyes
They feast
Upon the beast
Of inspiration
While your body aches...
A cloaked figure awaits
You give,
No take the hand
That breaks the moldy,
Dusted fate
That creature
Knows the way to go
