The lesson hung in every frame:
“Defend your name and suffer any fight for it.
And build a wall around yourself
’cause no-one else will take up arms in protest.”
What could such honour drones
together all compose?
How could they ever understand
the sense behind the prose?
You know that breeze that hits your ear?
You have the choice of how you want to hear it!
And if you look right at your eyes
you’ll find the whites face in but pupils outwards!
Every sharp letter shown:
a puzzle to be known.
Unwrap that gift and climb inside
the truth you have been thrown!
We don’t have to break.
You’re more than a sum of words.
I want to see you whole.

Kaleidoscope

This is an early warning sign
You need to find some truth
And rotate the kaleidoscope
To multiply your view
You must swim beyond the primaries
Or sleep under a low roof
This is an early warning sign
You stagnate or you choose
See in colour
Hear through space
See in colour
Hear through space
Now what did you expect from life?
A paint-by-numbers world?
You’ll live within what you create
With all your flags unfurled
See in colour
Hear through space
See in colour
Hear through space

That Much Blood
04:25
|
|
||
|
Sailing on a sea of never mind
Living in a world I’d left behind
Running through a town of inside out
Never knowing what my view’s without
’Cause all I see
Is inside of me
And I guess you feel
But I’m not sure
And all I feel
Is under my seal
Could I tear if off?
And let out that much blood?
And even in my house of skin on skin
Do I ever truly let you in?
And is my fear as cold as yours?
And do we speak our love behind locked doors?
’Cause all I see
Is what I can be
I would think outside this sphere
But it’s so dark
And all I give away
Is from yesterday
Could you take my “now”?
Could you drink that much blood?

It Seemed Real

You were everything I wanted
For just one night
Sharing stories from a heatwave
I could taste it in the wine
An American girl named after an English queen
Left me with all these photographic memories
Of angels and gods and the spaces in between
It seemed real to me
Some moments stay to linger
Others will just pass
If my words will be forgotten
I don’t have to take them back
An American girl named after an English queen
Left me with all these photographic memories
Of angels and gods and the spaces in between
It seemed real to me
The past can bend you but cannot break you
An American girl named after an English queen
Left me with all these photographic memories
Of angels and gods and the spaces in between
It seemed real to me…

Closed

Your head is full so you tear down every school that you cross
You have no change ’cause you spent it all on lounging and loss
You’re saturated
Syncopated
You are closed
Look me in the eye
You’re not that old
So take back what you sold
Segmented world, you have chosen to live in just one slice
If nothing’s new then I guess that there is no good advice
No therapy
No chemistry
You are closed
Look me in the eye
You’re not that old
Just let your lines unfold
The air is thick and you breathe it in
Not an island now, there’s a world of links
And you can’t turn back and you won’t look down
’cause this life is big and the sky is ours

Sylvan Song

Life overflows
From this soil
No space for my
Steps to fall
Distant bells toll
Draw my mind back
Crawling voices
Self so small
I took this path to find my thoughts
To share the darkness with old roots
But sunlight always filters in
Stranded in birdsong, never new
I took this path to find my thoughts
To share the darkness with old roots
But sunlight always filters in
All at once
White noise drops
Perfect circle
Crystal night
Genes unfurled from
Ancient trees
Breath embraced by
Thrill of peace
