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

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 Is Only Time

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

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

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
