maybe Someday
Blue moon come to me I’m ready for you, help the tide turn the dust into a tune
Make the night into your muse
Red sun, hit me with your fire tongue, need more heating of my blood
Take your love and
Break me off a piece of that chain, love flows by like a wild train
Roll on in blurry painted names
Shake me up and make your claim, make our love the brightest stain
Maybe someday we’ll find silver in the rain
Black star, shining like a lonely car, distant headlights in the dark
Constellations in our
Hearts, love flows through but not in vain
Scars, living art that knows no frame
Let go of your holding game, make our love the light we sing
Maybe someday we’ll find silver in the rain
Maybe someday we’ll find vision in our dreams
Maybe someday we’ll find something to believe in
jazz Tea
As a start, could I walk you to your car, though I know it isn’t far away
We could talk about the pieces of our hearts, and how they often feel so far away
What’s your stand, do you wanna make a plan
Or could you meet the match to echo your intrigue
We could talk about it over jazz tea
Every second is a second chance, reset the room to reverence
Every second is a second chance, if your heart returns the glance
can’t be Yours
Running away from everything, I don’t need anymore
It’s been a while since I had something to run for
So I’ve been pushing all my dreams, to the bottom of the drawer
Buried underneath some comfortable routines and routine chores
I’m not sure, if I’ll ever have the drive to drive my life above the shelf
Can’t be yours, if I can’t be myself, for longer than a second at a time
Running away from everyone, I can’t seem to comprehend
I’m too tangled in this spun out web I’m spinning in
So I’ve been placing all my lines, on the pedestal of the past
And I’ve been preaching about time for years but damn it’s moving fast
I’m not sure, if I’ll ever have the will to weave my web beyond the cracks
Can’t be yours, even if you’re right in front of me but I keep looking back
I’m not sure, if I’ll ever write a line as bright as back in twenty-twelve
Can’t be yours, if I want everything for myself
Can’t be yours
bioLuminescence
We pocket all our change, just to keep our hips moving
They sway and shake, we give and take, but we mostly throw away
It seems surreal at a first glance, but beneath the magnifying trance
Beginnings end, they shatter and bend
Just to begin again
siloBloomingpresence
Season tips the burning ember, into smiling flame
Laughter breaks and cracks right after, bright ignition intuition
What an easy game to play for days
We could speak for free while sitting sideways
Shed our skin for pungent plunges, into the deep of dream abundance
We’re serpents in the lake
Slide through time like diamond star shine, and golden days
Unfolding ways
Our souls are saved
alL…
It’s all in your heart, it’s all in your mind
It’s all so easy left behind
rEach
I’d reach for your hand but I read that to grasp is to lose
Or maybe it’s just that deep down I’m afraid you’d refuse
Time turns to dust in the stillness of dusk, a rooftop reminder of what we might want
But patience will make us all ancient, as the pavement turns blue, I wish I could turn to you
You sent me a book of reflection sweet scribbles of time
I fiddle replies in revolving trapdoors in my mind
Time turns to tell and I’ll tell you too much, a ramble of spells spilling out like a crutch
Leaning and latent and true, subjective illusions I wish we both knew
You sit in your home with your blue-eyed dog, and infinite spirits singing their song
A foggy red glow from the window, the babbles of birth and a laughing piano

…
Endymion
You may take all of the time
You’re breathing slower, even though you’re
Lowering, olive sunrise
Sink swift ships set sail to the trail
Through veil and hail and violent hell
Of self-felt flail, you’re swallowing helpfuls of vision
And you’re sleeping with a false alarm clock
Speaking in sparks
So the golden glow glinted window
Gleaming its part
Oh soft dream you’re slumbering
Between dimensions, did I mention anything
Or is it just my imagination
And you’re leaving on a time turn trolley
Leaping in the dark
And the silver slow sliver widow
Gleaming her art
Beaming eye stars
Won’t you
Won’t you keep me by your pillow
Won’t you hear me when I snore
When you see me in your tilted window
Won’t you lead me through your door
Will you listen if I’m distant
Can we blend into the floor
Or would you climb into the ceiling
Will you watch me as I sink or soar blink before
Thoroughly think through this more
Farewell chaos
Might I say, how nice to see you there
Leaving alone in silence, while our hands are clasped in prayer
You could stay, the night we wouldn’t dare
Speaking sideways angles, with eyes caught in a stare
Why the wait, it’s always ever there
Feather floating endless, severing the center
In the wake, when wisdom finds flare
Following forget-me-nots, untying knots with care
Let’s compare, our visions and listen to the tear
Of the ever dream, a clever gleam that never seemed so rare
I wonder where your frequencies fare
Show me how to share
Another
Would you put up with another hit
Or would you sink into the chair, didn’t think that you should care
Cold shoulder, a cool hug
Another dizzy churning spell spill from my lukewarm mug
My stomach’s butter, my mind is gin
Just a retroactive cause outside the place we’re in
So let it be, let it go
In an instant glimmer glance across the table’s glow
Drifting cause
You speak truth through eyelid snoozing
Side seduction into nothing
I’m telling you through every move I do
Involuntary twisting, a tripling, a drifting
The dizzying kazoo, the buzzing of a bumbling brute
On the porch with torchlit pupils
Grasping at the sky, mistaking stars for claws
It’ll put you in a pause
Heaven said to break away, I told her hey I’ll be back someday, anyway
In the meanwhile, hell grins in my mean smile
It’s to who but you or I
And if we can recall without trying, we’ll see we’re the
Same plain thing, underneath the dirt shine of our
Narrative ring, intertwining inner starlight
How interesting we’ve become in the hum of the
Simple string sum, cymbals scream for the deep drum
Wind blows the season
Slide beside dreamin
Evermore
Winding lines in a perfect day, casting shadows in the floor
Sleepy light, can we go to stay, cease to breathe before
In creep the seeping night, it’s crawling in display
A shiver in the spine, the shade of spades
Speaking in a lullaby sigh
Something singing in the slight
Space between the, crack door cry and the moan of midnight
Stillness shakes the shore
Thus
Carry on
You always shine so divine
And help another speak their mind
It was so easy to soar
And then you left an open door
Carry on
And when the evening feels like night
The brighter light from a path so bright
And we can see them now
And I can see you now
Carry on

Oooh
Alcoholic Dreams
My head spins like a twister, ever since I missed her, ever since these nights
My mind sighs if only, I’m sick of feelin lonely, lost in what’s not right
Is it you or is it me, is it a lack of ability, are all these questions a waste of time
Cuz yes I’ve shown I’m ready, so yes or no just tell me, no why do I even try
I know why
Cuz your smile is so contagious, your actions are outrageous, and still we’re raging on
Our eyes can meet for a moment, and everything is golden
Ah damn I need to scrap my plan, but something keeps me waiting
Where the hell have I gone since Wednesday, what is choking up my mind
Not Estrella or the whiskey, it’s just the glimmer in your eye
When you noticed that I spoke, cuz every word I’ve said’s to you
Whether passive, pass the grass cuz I need something to get me through
So I’ve abandoned my intentions, and now I know why
You’re the reason why
Cuz grace is the taste of cigarettes, nights holding hands that we’re gonna forget
I just want a night with you to remember when I won’t drop you on your head
But every night without a glass is a cold shoulder to the past
You always say I should be older, well this aging’s killing me
And I don’t wanna waste another line anymore
So goodnight and through your beautiful open closed door
Loft Thoughts
I don’t know why I’m waiting, when we’re either fighting or dating
And every date ends in a fight
I don’t know why I’m speaking, when you’re not listening but sleeping
And I want to fall asleep with you
Much adieu
I don’t know why I miss you, we were drunk each time I kissed you
But tell me do you remember
But something bout the way you
Didn’t turn away, made me feel inclined to find you mirror my way
Your reason, I’m leanin too far to say two, now what do I do
Please don’t turn away, can’t it be the same it felt on that first day
Dim numbers, sit underground in quiet bloom, what else can we do
Rooftops in Rome
Do you see the view of rooftops in Rome, I don’t need a home
I don’t need to be waging a war, maybe that’s just what teenage years are for
Getting older, getting faster, yeah I’m still tryna get past her
Her smile is the Vatican, but I can’t think that again
Be a roamer, meet with Homer, these days it seems I’m rarely sober
Lost meaning of the word over, over and over again
I’m holding onto a star, crooked spin and hookups in a bar
On a train to Tarragona with a forty-eight Euro guitar
Jugs of wine in route to Barcelona
The aroma of whiskey and soda and just who we are
Spilling out in liters and cards
I’m gone to travel so far, beauty in the sun and the dark
Do you see the view of rooftops in Rome, everywhere I am home
Inhale
Lookin out the open window each sight comes in a breath
My mind’s a Swiss train on tracks of so much to come yet
Oh I have got to do, oh so much left to do
A night at the museum asleep out in the grass
My heart’s a broken bone but it’s tearing off its cast
Oh I need something new, oh always something new
Swim through seas of green and skies of blue, the air is Alpine and the view
Kisses all the knots away, here’s to better days
Oh I have got to do, so much left to do
Oh I need something new, always something new
Beach Zombies
Lookin back on yesterday feels like a dream, and I’m still asleep
I see people hurry by ears blowin out steam, but that can’t be me
No there’s too much to think, see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, I scream
Out the window at the Autobahn breeze
Lookin back is so one-sided so I look up to the front, a blink of the road
All these thoughts I try to write it, write about what I want, but not what I know
No there’s a lot I thought I knew and knew and fought I grow, closer to home
The further I go, woke in a dream and remembered to glow
Split through the seams in a land of snow, oh, golden roads
I’m sorry Finland didn’t work, and all of your friends
Took your reactions, reacted berserk, and everything ends
But look back at all the places you’ve gone, forward to all the places you’ll go
Leaning and lost and walking til dawn, you always remember to glow
Cuz you’re an underground surfer, a drunken firefighter
Let your curiosity charm you into yet another all-nighter
Pass the lighter, pass the hash, the catch is you owe me twenty-two in cash
Follow the wizard in your dreams cuz everything’s moving so fast
We slept in the car, stared at a fire with a tiny guitar
Almost forgot how we held hands in the dark, in a mirror
Let the top of the hill make our year
German Stars
A beggar just past by in the station, a reverent sigh of patience
Cuz tonight we’re doin right, in the city of Northern Lights
Where the stars all shine so bright
An Audi just passed by on the highway, but keep your mind’s eye to the skyway
Cuz today we’ll be okay, so grab your Strat and play
And thanks again for letting us stay
German stars, chips, beer and cars, we’ve all got a helluva lot to say
Hold the whole world deep in our hearts, while our minds take the day by day
Hold the whole world deep in our heart, while our mind takes the day by day
Amsterdam
Take the boat out for a ride before it sails away
Counting years upon my life I’m still swimming out to bay
Spent the day getting so high I can’t figure out one thing to say
I’m stained green, and red, and dead
Pass the street the bells and bikes feelin like life is a movie
Pencil in our don’ts and likes and the adjectives are all so groovy
Cross the trail through illusion, and confusion in every word
Is a sentence so absurd, when feelings can be heard
Like a whisper in my dream, I need to sleep again
I know that I fall, in every breath that I forget to breathe
Feelings are now blurred, and all my thoughts are stirred
In this pot, this melting point is turning what’s preferred beyond control
And I know, that falling’s just a breath away
TopsyTurvy
Oooh
Roll On
We just missed the train from that moment of fear
So many roll on while I’m standin right here
Just feelin it pass with its pestilent roar
The only sweet freedom I’ve come to adore
I’m a sinner, a saint, I can never decide
All I can do is roll on til the end of my life
All I can do is go on just riding the tide
And hoping that soon it will rise
So we’re floorin it north and the thunder does shout
To Boulder or Chicago or wherever the hell we can get out
Dear progress is found in the darkest of skies
So sleep in the car and clench shut your eyes
And breathe in the air with smoke and a flame
To find dizzy dreams, and all that remains
Is the splitting of seams and a gleam-eyed parade
Just marching to the end of our days, someone show me the way
I’m ready to catch and I’m ready to crack
So I’m crackin more cans as I try to catch my breath
The sway is a breeze so to speak from a dream
And I’m caught in the current of the momentary gleam
Of our eyes rollin back in our heads with every sway
When it’s five AM and sleep feels so far away
So we’re burnin more rolled up reminders of the grey
The vision the spark of a momentary daze

Schwab House Blues
Well I could skip town in a couple of weeks, never to call, or even send a postcard, to you
Cuz I won’t be connecting the dots of the places we forgot, just take another shot or two
Until we’re all, sleepin in, dreamin, oooh we’re stuck within it
And I could spend another year high, sittin by the water, exploring my emotions
And everyone else that comes by, they dissolve as I crack another potion
Until my, sunken grin, is gleamin, oooh one of these days yeah, oooh one of these days I’m leaving it all behind
And once again, the ceiling, oooh it’s spinnin and the world just keeps spinnin spinnin
Round and round and round…
Other Shoes
Well baby I’ve been tellin you lies, try to make myself seem all qualified
But I’ve got so much to hide and little to give from this little old lamb kind of life
Sometimes I don’t have reason to move so I step on my feet with rocks in my shoes
So let’s write a hoppin groove another anthem to another answer that we’re gonna lose
So Slow
Baby, I wish you were sand
So I could take your great great sea of thoughts and run it through my hands
Lady, I’d like you to know
That you have got my heart it beats so fast when you move so slow
When you move so slow…
Crickets
The world is a letter in a dream, I slipped a stamp in my pillow
Spark some vision, my excess is my engine
As we fly, flee, slowly, time turns eternally
We're pearls at sea, leaves along a willow tree
The world is a hypocritic critic, I'm sleepin, cue the crickets
Hold that thought for a millisecond more and kick it
Round and round and round, and the breeze is twisted
On a silhouette tour, it's free if you're interested
No stop shop in store, it's easier assisted, leave the floor uplifted, please be sure to visit
Drop
Runnin round and round again I’ve got a flashback in my pocket
Holdin back another tied up tongue behind feelings
My pocket sits, the clock it ticks, I’m knockin on a stop sign with a fist of all I knew before I thought it
Oh the end is round the corner, where it always seems to dare, I am aware, I am aware
Voices scream in every way, in a colorful screen in a colorful way
Your breath is free to sway in the breeze
Golden locks in melting pots, with a poisonous medicine, your sea of thoughts all just become a stream
Oh each second’s getting shorter, but we move too slow to care, are you aware, are you aware
Black hole assuming order, puzzle piece fit in a stare
Bokonon
On the backside, I’m waitin
I’m savin up some nights for something different soon to begin
With the door shut, and the light out
Twisting shadows sing blessings of belated emergence
This reassurance, it breathes flame into the night
Welcome a tidal wave of sound, eclipsing the night sky
And soon my darkness, is filled with reason
Chance that’s bleeding phosphorescent light
Making the world into a dream
And waking me up, with peculiar travel suggestions
Dancing lessons from God, may your gold ship sail Bokonon
May your days go on and on and on and on
Backyard
Open up the doorway to the storm that you’ve been bleedin
Schemin changes with the season, aint no reason when we’re dreamin
To be more than just a patient, life is not to make you anxious
Feel the beauty when we’re wasted, we’re so close that I can taste it
I’m so close but I aint faced it, when it’s gone
Feel the voice in every rhythm, find the choice in each decision
With an easy goin livin, where the breeze be blowin within
Where the leaves be growin liftin to the sea
Rise
When you exceed, all the things, that make your heart go round
Will you believe, the blushing sky, and rise
And rise…
Still
Tell me tell me what you’re thinkin tonight, and I’ll try to match you
Lately findin that I’m sinkin beneath the light, while I’m still trying to reach you
I’m still tryin to reach you, I’m still tryin to reach you, I’m still tryin to reach you, I am still
Tell me tell me why you’re speaking out to a room full of clouds and grey kisses
What are you missin from yourself that makes you distant
Yeah maybe if you listened to yourself things would be different
Tell me tell me what’s your plan, if you can
But if you can’t you could make up anything and I’d believe it
What are you missing from yourself that makes you distant
Yeah maybe if you listened to yourself things would be different
