Horizon
When shadow falls
Darkness comes
Spirit fades
the Sadness of
Don’t be afraid
Give in to fear
Hold your ground
Light is near
Or build a wall
Close the door
On all you know
On all you feel
When shadow falls
Fight the war
Take a stand
Shoot to kill
Hand to hand
On your knees
Wait within
Heart of hearts
Love to win
Open wide
Don’t pretend
Your the source
Dearest friend
Catch the fire
Let it burn
Be consumed
Forget the world
One in all
And all in one
Down below
Same above
Easy come
And easy go
As you like
In the flow
Look to the sunrise
Look to the sunshine
Look to the sunrise
Album: Everything In Between
Coming Soon!
Funeral
Stuck in the middle of your favorite song
Lost in the beat and just humming along
Sit back down don’t get carried away
Wait for the funeral
Save it for another day
Fight to the death at the edge of the sea
Last one standing
Is it you or could it only be me?
It’s all you have
you know it
It’s all you know
you love it, you love it
It’s all you love
you hate it
It’s all you hate
you show it,
you show it
8 Days
On a windy morning,
whisper sunrise darkness fading
Promises new
You were always waiting
Catch the sunset, thought forever
Washing away
Silently you’re watching
Will I notice
Walk together
Paint the new moon
From here on out I’m only
Catching sunlight,
casting color
Center in you
This is not an ending
Sit beside me just a moment,
more for the view
Slowly all unwinding
Lose control for
faith is finding
Love is who you are
No Dreaming
Flesh and bone
Soul of sight
Dust to dust
Dark to light
I'm a flame
Taking flight
I'll Be the first
Be the last
To know no
No no dreaming
High or low
Rose or thorn
Rain or shine
Cold and warm
You’re the same
Wrong or right
Be the first
Be the last
You know no
No no
Dreaming
No more
dreaming here
Fishing
First on the line,
first intuition
The first and last out for lunch and gone fishing
Fresh out of time
Forced in suspension
The horse or the cart which begins institution
The black and the white
The white or the red
How martyrdom finds you
through your heart or
through your head
First on the line,
First intuition
The first and last, out for lunch and gone fishing
This is all
you can take to the grave
Hope you know the piper
at the gates of dawn
Soul meets mind
where heart bleeds day
The Piper plays the song I know you want to hear
Last on the line Last intuition
The first and last, out for lunch - still gone fishing
Cast out of time
Cashed out recession
The horse pulls the cart of our last known regression
Fresh out of time
Forced in suspension
The horse or the cart which begins institution
Cast out the line
Reel in confession
The first and the last out for lunch still gone fishing
This is all you can take
to the grave
Hope you know the piper at the gates of dawn
Soul meets mind
where heart bleeds day
The Piper plays the song I know you want to hear
Lullaby
Seven hours and the daylight is fading
Fading in and the shadow
is calling out to us
Six hours to spare and the
storm clouds are forming
Settle in settle down for the season
Dream
Low Lullaby Low Lullaby
Five left to mind
make that Four more believe it
Heart to heart tears and a place for preparing ground
Stand in at Three left the
Two of us waiting
Sound of the chimes woke you
upside and downside
Dream
Low Lullaby Low Lullaby
Backwards
Such a mess, Such a wreck of a soul, the fail of a test
It’s a thing to behold,
a thing to be seen
Catch a breathe, catch a break up with everyone
Standing your ground, shadow without the sun
Sad to be held,
sad to be seen
Too much, too long, too far
Be as it may, be one and all
For the rest of your life,
rest of your life
So soft - so sweet to fall - crack in the sidewalk
crack in the jaw
For the rest of the night,
rest of the night
Just enough to lose control - hands off the steering wheel, hands off the phone
Keep your eyes on the road - eyes on the road
There’s a chance that we messed up your name
Got it all backwards
and left it to hang
In the mouth of your enemy, mouth of your enemies
Lay down, lay down the load
Heavy the sorrow,
heavy the stone
For the rest of the night,
rest of the night
No tears no hill to climb - you’ve got the rest on the edge of a knife
For the rest of your life,
rest of your life
Mirror
Over and Over
Same thing over and over again
What more to find, with you by my side
Will we swim in an ocean of fire
Just for a change or rearrange
Dreaming of drowning and flying around
Smile or a frown - entering softly
Shattering mirror to mirror
again and again
Which one to win, again and again
Over and Over
