Dusk
Past the golden hour cracks start to show
Time goes on and answers once aglow
are washed to sea
Is this aimless love one and the same?
Clutching in the dark for what they gain
when a loss for words
Peering through one jaded eye
Calling off the search
Midst the trees enshrouded
Laughing at his perch
She’s close enough
to call his bluff
Yet love holds up
Trying to clear the cotton from her lungs
Seeking to convey in many tongues
her bone to pick
How he went and broke every rule
He once penned them but he’s not her fool
Content to use his muse
Peering through one jaded eye
Calling off the search
Midst the trees enshrouded
Laughing at his perch
She’s close enough
to call his bluff
Yet love holds up
Cursed with an old honest core
Not like they make anymore
Can’t hold candles up to his thoughts
Truth in dusk turns into lore
She’s close enough
to call his bluff
Yet love holds up
Peering through one jaded eye
Calling off the search
Midst the trees enshrouded
Laughing at his perch
She’s close enough
to call his bluff
Yet love holds up

Wind of Whims
You set this pace, digging in your heels
No matter how it feels,
Forever slow
I save your place while you blame away the years
To hide away your fears,
But I know
The offer I laid out on the table is getting cold
As the picture's painted it seems only
I'm growing old
Give me my breath back
You don't need it any more
Tired of givin all my livin
Still a stranger at your door
Ever inconstant
You're a rattle in my soul
All I pleaded, all I needed
Was someone to come home to
And I hope it's you
I'd rather know if we're in this one together
I've tried to be so clever,
but gambling has its cost
It takes a toll to walk one step behind you
When I'd rather be beside you,
where borderlines are lost
Waiting it out in the wind of your whims I blow
But bending too far beats breaking all I know
Give me my breath back
You don't need it any more
Tired of givin all my livin
Still a stranger at your door
Ever inconstant, you're a rattle in my soul
All I pleaded, all I needed
Was someone to come home to
And I hoped it was you

Folds of Time

Folds of Time:
Frost embraces, she's stranded still
Cold hands wring her last will
Once armored in innocence
his freeze-dried words lose their flavor
Stone heart's engraver
Sealed from the haunt where he's lying now
Honeyed hopes drip down from where
they are headed
White to grey to black, ever turning more opaque
Straying just to fight the folds of time
Drifting on ice, he feeds on his own words
of deceit
Void of film he used before to ignore the signs
Blur the lines
Frost embraces, she's stranded
If she turns back then she is lost
Frost embraces, she's stranded
Wronged but not set to brand it lost yet
She can't help, hold his place
Sure of his returning, love still burning in the
Hearth they started from

I Look to You

I Look To You:
Teach me to love fiercely enough
to steal away in the night
To stitch new beginnings,
tuck the rips and scratches out of sight
Imagination run tame and reality wild
Airy hymns so wise but sung light as a child
I look to you
Fingers that paint all pains away
Laminate every word I say
Not to be lost in folds of time
So it's easy to rewind
Cut from the fabric of your dreams
My being is bursting at the seams
Stitched into my border
Forever in my calico corner
My one lone doctrine
The circle you made is my north star
My favorite kind of paper trails lead me right to where you are
Imagination run tame and reality wild
Airy hymns so wise but sung light as a child
I look to you
Fingers that paint all pains away
Laminate every word I say
Not to be lost in folds of time
So it's easy to rewind
Cut from the fabric of your dreams
My being is bursting at the seams
Stitched into my border
Forever in my calico corner
Draperies in the backyard
Holding those who fall hard
Scripted words of stories I've heard
Of dreams that shine and truths that burn
I look to you
Fingers that paint all pains away
Laminate every word I say
Not to be lost in folds of time
So it's easy to rewind
Cut from the fabric of your dreams
My being is bursting at the seams
Stitched into my border
Forever in my calico corner
Forever in my calico corner
Forever in my calico corner

Picture

Picture:
One last goodbye
I hold in my sigh
I see you there in your frame
Gone while I still remain
He held her to him
Until his eyes grew dim
Though till now you were near
It’s so long since you've been here
Every word I wrote
Soured in my throat
To believe you bore your dreams across
a dusty sea where would I be
Bore your dreams across
a dusty sea where would I be,
be without you, be without you

Trapped in Forever

Trapped in Forever:
Now un-shrouded your English lay
broken on the floor,
Filled only with memory, hollow at the core
The more I reach for him
the more I push away,
Remnants of the seams that held me in before
I remember all too much,
etchings in my mind
All the same I'll hold you if only for tonight
A great song
but you sold the tune a hundred times,
All you had to do for me was change one line,
I believed your sweeping gestures,
letters etched in flames
Giving in and falling prey to lilting spines
I remember all too much,
etchings in my mind
All the same I'll hold you if only for tonight
Saw the whites of your eyes,
Life got in the way
Further further drawing back,
Till I lost your gaze and...threw it away
I remember all too much,
etchings in my mind
Drafts of who you used to be,
trapped in amber for all time

Mountains of Malagá

Mountains of Malaga:
Try as I might,
climbing your thoughts
the scope of your bluffs leaves me stuck
at the foot
We're well at ease,
dappled in sunlight
Yet you're content to bathe in soot
If you would only turn toward the sun
Nothing to fear in the beams of my skin
Your words hollow me as you sink and run
If I consume them what shape will I be in
when you're back again
I see the light
catch the rose window
but your face remains in the gloom
Tirelessly care
for each tendril
of your hope so it might one day bloom
If you would only turn toward the sun
Nothing to fear in the beams of my skin
Your words hollow me as you sink and run
If I consume them what shape will I be in
when you're back again
Lone bird your strange flight is ending
Lose sight of the moon ,
Here the pieces of your mind need mending
Can't follow the tune ,
Can't hide it from you now that I'm
paralyzed
From the venom of your lies,
Sunk from the weight of your sighs
Just on the brink of breaking all ties,
For I know
each new sketch mark
baits your heavily charged eraser
This is my last
get well soon,
We both know you'll never quite replace her
If you would only turn toward the sun
Nothing to fear in the beams of my skin
Your words hollow me as you sink and run
If I consume them what shape will I be in
when you're back again

Losing Grace
04:35

Losing Grace:
Oh now you come running to me
While I dream
Of saving all that's left of me
And traveling on
Oh now are you done shunning
the parts of me
That you want gone
I'm a specter with a faded grin
And new plans drawn
The truth whispered in the wind
and broke my fever
Abandoned lace stamped with soil to remind
I'm much too old to play the blind believer
and secrets steeped do spoil with time
I banished yesterday
And now you're in the way
Of finally layin it down to rest
No tears drippin down
Finally safe and sound
It's a past your fingers just can't retrace
In the end you're only my losing grace
Oh you were such a tight-lipped kisser
And still deny all wrong
You caressed my world with hushed fingertips
Then you were gone
He can't say I didn't try
I found stillness in my mourning
I already said goodbye baby
He sipped till I was bone dry
Yet still wasn't ready
This time I can hold my voice steady
I banished yesterday
And now you're in the way
Of finally layin it down to rest
No tears drippin down
Finally safe and sound
It's a past your fingers just can't retrace
In the end you're only my losing grace
