Polygon in the shape of an arrow come down and join us here take our hands and lead us somewhere someplace where the wind does blow Teach us how to live so freely so free and so defused four walls and a public restroom this is no place to call your home This is our land of plenty

Be A Guide 02:37
Older, she turns to me in the mourning longing for escape in all the wrong place this is no time capsule this is no time capsule Older, she turns to me in the darkness “There is no distance between the sun and all of our bodies now all of our bodies now.” Be a guide a beacon in time send out those good waves Older, I turn to native translations spoken in true form, lost immigrations passed down from your hand to mine passed down from one hand to mine Older, I turn to signal from body magic from this earth in through my limbs informed through my own mind inform through your own mind

This employee is making his rounds he’s asking me now if I figured it out I look up into his eyes, just a mumble and a sigh I say,”No man, I have no idea just how to do this anymore” and then I stumble back to the car and I remember all those good days and then something, well it hits me like a ton it hits me and I’m stunned This is only time This is the only place This is the only way Unless I’m crazy and maybe it’s true unless I’m crazy and baby, you too Had this engagement just leaned all along onto the crutches of its vice, a vision of no wrong? well maybe this is so, but you know that I don’t care it made me happy I was so happy then

Did you learn something new today? bring it back home to me please I sat and stared at the walls all day teach me what you learn as it comes Bells still hum in the morning sun rise and shine, time to walk you share your wealth with the boy in rags give him what he asks and all you know That faded hue, it washed right over the people, the places, the names and all that faded hue, it washes out my vision every night Did you learn something new today? I see it all within your eyes blood still courses through these veins feed me answers unrestrained feed me answers unrestrained feed me love, all I crave feed me love, all I crave feed me love, all I crave

All Is Calm 04:16
Violent crashing of this night cloaked in fear remains this guiding light and how many dreams will perish here this eve? such a painful home and it’s brought us to our knees but it’s just a spell and the lightness often plays tricks tricks tricks and games games games a fiery grave, a hurricane, an open wound, a hopeless daze then all is calm

Future Waves 04:03
This knife extracts from an old time symbols too strange to know all lines collapsed in a code sign found deep in a death-black hole broadcast and cut from a diamond crystalline prisms show two visions not yet decided one of doom and one of hope still unknown us modern slaves so captured by by these future waves future waves future waves sights, sounds, visions all around sights, sounds, visions all around
