It’s the scrape, in your face, every morning, all it’s glory fades
You’ll go numb, weak the knees, targets training, always hold this pace
Take it all away
Pull it all away
Peel back all your skin
Show your scars
Take it all away
Pull it all away
Just the charred remains of who you are
Ringing phone, semitone, breaks the silence, welcome back to earth
Cut you up, piece by piece, ‘till you’re nothing, wondering what it’s worth
Take it all away
Pull it all away
Peel back all your skin
Show your scars
Take it all away
Pull it all away
Just the pace remains

Ascent
04:14
|
|||
|
On the cusp of some askew remembrance of an eastern ruins
Like some backwards déjà vu, direction apex pointing forward, always forward
Pale as sheets blown to the wind, with a breathless order
Sudden wreckage far behind, and within the borders
Acquiescing to ascent, light as air but nothing noble
Spirits of a certain bent, an event beyond the global, ever hopeful
Patient scarecrow of this land, hangs a perforated veil, a blessed union

My New Distraction
04:48
|
|||
|
Might as well sew your shadow to me,
ghost of myself and drenched in caffeine
Mirror becomes a distant warning
I’m entering the uncanny valley
You can’t pass this thread through my eye
Patience failing, no compromise
A reeling confrontation, a muted conversation
You can’t pass this thread through my eye
A trick of the eye has come in fashion
Have you become my new distraction
echoes of yesterday so haunting
causing the glitches you've been wanting
Now you’ll grind the blade down, till you reach the hilt
A wonder to the spirit, sharpening the will
So you bend, and you kneel, play pretend, make it real.

Medicine Moon
04:35
|
|||
|
As the quiet burns on the midnight oil
And my footsteps making cracks in the floor
For the monsters lurking under my bead
For the tinnitus ringing in my head
It’s the pill in hands that I hold
To kill the tremors and bury the cold
Carry the weight, stack it on your shoulders
This is the way that my hair turned grey
Winter reminds us we’ve all grown older
Under medicine moons
Take your medicine moon
Come and tie me down cause it’s getting late
Place another stone, I’ll ask for more weight
From the widow’s peak I can see it all
In a prayer for peace carved into the wall

Pry
02:34
|
|||
|
Rain on my roof, constant tapping, sounds like there’s invaders outside
always marching, always shouting, pouring down, hour glass counting
Half dissected, introverted, I don’t mean to pry
Past protracted, so exhausted, I don’t even try
Run my fingers on the railing, what its like to be wide open
Picture blurs out, voices get dull, time is traveling in slow motion
Such sharp words, pinpoint precision
Gentle glances, deep incisions

Tridents
04:19
|
|||
|
You’ve got a lot to say and sleeves to sew
We don’t see eye to eye don’t you know
It’s not a coin but two lone planets circling our own suns
Where is the salve to soothe our aching hearts
Suffice to say we’re better apart
The tattered flag of a long lost empire, afraid of the future
Panic is coming, crossing enemy lines
Anger is summing, down the Molatov mile
Ignorant fortunes, all their thinking retired
Sharpening tridents, and the torches on fire
You’ve got a reckoning coming
I hope the money was worth it all
You’ve got a reckoning coming
The long knives coming down

Part and Parcel
03:45
|
|||
|
Lost half of my castle, we dug the moat, we built the walls
But the waves don’t care, they’re busy shushing us senseless
It’s a wonder, forever building here in the sand
How the universe don’t care
The pen to the page, part and parcel
Sounds, like no one’s listening,
or looking to find, a reason to share
It’s a masterpiece you could notice in passing
Can’t stop to think, forever building here in the sand

Amaterasu
03:14
|
|||
|
Your fear took the sky away, we’re stumbling in the dark
You ran to the mountain top, sounding the alarm
I’ll held the mirror at the other end, a jewel from it hung
sword points highest to the emperor’s sun
A clash of the heavens pair, siblings overheard
Eclipse for the ancient age, the shadows bathed the earth
Go run, go hide, Amaterasu
Go run, go hide, Amaterasu

Parallels
04:20
|
|||
|
Hold my hand get through this
I dissect your iris
And behind the lens there is an omen
Here I thought I knew you
But I’m stuck on preview
You were hiding in my peripheral vision
In my dreams, reaching forward, falling backward out my memory
The horizon meets the sky so parallel, so parallel
Never intersecting lines in parallel, in parallel
Like a blacked out window
Once so clear and hollow
Now can only guess what you are thinking

Celestials
03:33
|
|||
|
How’s the saying go, isn’t it an echo or a stain
But words get telephoned, caught up in some other’s long refrain
Heavens catch your gaze, barter for your faith, how pretty the horizon
How far does it go, the unintended consequence of sight
Caught up in the throes, of guessing who is wrong and who is right
The bodies in ellipse, a shadow in eclipse, always looking skyward
