Melt Me Down 02:40
lyrics

Down in the stony deep Days dissolve the daily need Clear away the clutter harming my thought Carve me out a pathway, pathway Build me up to new descents Send me off the precipice Melt me down, down I’m made of metal Melt me down

Moss 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Vacant mind Dabbling in Nothingness Penned a line of what’s easiest Here’s the frost - I stored up the loss And am exiled now In my mirrored world All is past All that shines is under wraps Back when love was exact and Visions weren’t hurried away I pine for silence and solitary friends all of a mind To be in the day What I’ve found I can’t penetrate or keep still There’s no rest like he said That’s death’s deal One pure thought Is not allowed Taking time On the chin Looking in Moss is growing around the fence Here’s a smile - I withstood the trial And am going home There’s no greener world Why’d you ask All that grows is in your grasp Soon these blossoms will bloom and Summer will thunder away Winds will shake and vibrations make the leaves sound like a rain The trees tilt and sway Right before the light fades away, all is still There’s no lovelier home Than right here Big bug hum I’m mesmerized Vacant mind Dabbling in Nothingness Penned a line of what’s easiest Here’s the frost - I stored up the loss And am exiled now

The Color of Heaven 03:34
lyrics
buy track
Once in a while comes the craziest dream Death’s put to rest so dying can be Where it could go, no one knows, there’s no tellin’ Paint all the walls in the color of heaven Rivers run white Tears taking flight Cold quick’ning night Lo, he paints the eyes plainly Sorrow in the eyes Blazing on high You’ve got the answers to set things aright You’ve got ideals and God’s on your side When lights burn out will you alter the lesson Tell us once more what’s the color of heaven Mary is blue Tell you the truth I’m that way too Lo, he paints the eyes plainly Sorrow in the eyes Blazing on high Deep calls to deep and so I should now leave Where I must swim is where I might sink Cut from the past and marooned in the present Coming undone in the color of heaven When you see red Cover your head Stay in your bed Lo, he paints the eyes plainly Sorrow in the eyes Blazing on high

Rid You 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Out of the depths and dressed for death And waking from the worst of dreams I wanna play on a guitar Strum this away and take it from the start Follow a feeling and forget, if you feel me I’m gonna get you out of my head Gotta get you out of my head Many from one or one from the sum I’ve made the world an empty street And now I’m nearly out of breath Out of them I was my favorite Pharisee A certain and spotless tomb where your hell was resounding I can’t get rid of the sound I can’t get rid of the sound Out of the depths and dressed for death And waking from the worst of dreams I wonder how I went so off This big disease started with a little cough Now the familiar voice is the thing that can heal me I’m gonna get you out of my head Gotta get you out of my head

Neverending Night 03:42
lyrics
buy track
We’ve seen the strangest thing Way up high, summoning To come closer To a neverending night Lone star preparing death We feel a warmth that’s always receding To endure, we won’t be as we once were, Severed from dreaming I see the breath so pure In a mist now obscured Skin like silver Gleaming in the winter dark Starlight, my distant kin, I don’t see where this riddle is leading Will we rest? Will we be the same again Upon returning? I scan the scene so big How one’s life leads to this Ever dreaming In a night that never ends Darkness, my steadfast friend, I want to ask you where all the time goes When we’re back Will it be as it once was? No, I don’t think so

Bad Cat 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Bad cat coming round daily song Eyes so scary, these empty eyes saying “I’m lost” That’s one cat I really can understand I know what it’s like to be thought of as lost Hiding ‘hind dead trees and trying to advance Big buggy eyes yellin out, “Man, I’d like to eat now” Bad cat coming round daily song Eyes so desert-like, oftentimes I’m at a loss That’s one meow that says a cat’s going down I share his disease and I’m scaring him off Hasn’t come round lately, wonder did he die Death was alive in his eyes, that cat’s complete now Bad cat coming round daily song

Ghost in the Glen 05:33
lyrics
buy track
Ghost in the glen I long to hold you in my arms again Look, look at the devastation in our midst As we were dancing the world around was robbed The document was lost No one remembers you Ways of life and rays of light A wind in the valley blows there still How can we exhume this corpse Keeping all intact the bones and limbs Ah, I can imagine how you’d smile Yet we’re here, stuck in the present I bought a book about peasants And a book about guilds What haunted thrills To manifest what long has gone unseen Steer history’s march into a place of peace Ghost in my fantasy tales, high fantasy Imagine all the feasts And rest from working days We’ll play games, which games not sure which games are most pure but we’ll find out First the current world will burn Let it burn I’ll block the waterspout Ah, how can we speed the dream along Oh you tease, you elegant specter Let’s meet on Fridays for breakfast Talks on commons and ploughs Did I sow doubt About the plan to live a common life Run, run while you can and leave this lie behind Run away quickly run fast and don’t look back Run for your life and fast don’t give a second thought Make the choice a better voice is calling you quickly run run run Run from friendship run amok Make a move, don’t stop until they’re gone Ah

On My Black Horse 04:40
lyrics
buy track
It’s morning on the moon Always becoming day The surface blooms With hills of endless gray Now I’m yelling and crying in silence I spy my ride Dark as midnight I’ll fly on my black horse No sound on my black horse Deep space surrounds us now Progressing violently Becoming one Nothing can come between We’re approaching the threshold of darkness That’s one big step Mankind, what’s next Now, ride on, my black horse Godspeed on my black horse Godspeed on my black horse

Dry Your Eyes 01:36
lyrics
buy track
Dry your eyes baby I know that lately Things have been building Up to levels you cannot match I’ve been here I’m your angel guardian I have been Since you were a baby I’ve seen how lately Tears from your red eyes fall down your cheeks Now they’re in a freefall Let them freely fall, it’s what you need Let this wash away, take it from scratch Hell is on the march again I’ve seen of late this crying increase Know that tears are like the showers in spring Tending to a garden in the soul Great growth that promises to bloom God is blessing, God is blessing Blessed are the ones like you

Hey Peter 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Hey, Peter, how do you do? Been thinking of you You help right the wrong ships Help me with fighting the noonday demon Your timing was right You shook up my life You listened to my feelings I’m happy to be back home Hey, Peter, where did I go? I think you might know I tried to climb without help Found myself singing a doomsday sequence I followed the blind I buried a bad vibe I fought against my feelings I didn’t know the way home Hey, Peter, now I’m shook up They’re under its thumb Feigning all the right notes Learn by rote, mime it until you mean it They follow the red, White-washed and dead They disregard their feelings I really wish it weren’t so And in the dream I’m flying With the clearest sight Eiffel Tower on my left A tomb on my right Push straight on until it’s morning
