wellsprings of the age
here and gone
in a stray cascade
find a home
entire days
lost in tow
these moves will make
waterfalls
here i see the shore
through a night so long
each day sunny
each day on loan
it's not only
my own song
bring in the seas
and let things flow
we saw the fire blaze
we saw the fire blaze
from on high oh so far away
go and fill the trees
and the forest floor
melt through the weeds
let new things grow
we saw the fire blaze
we saw the fire blaze
from on high oh so far away
is there such a thing
as a deeper call
that's only heard
at the end of a long fall
if this will be
i need to know
you think i'm free
not at all
entire days
lost in tow
these moves will make
waterfalls

gathering

i'm all in
the more room for falling
making gold from gray
though directions are somewhat vague
gather the wishes
bounding here as struggling fishes
out of water, through fields, over bridges
upstream, not knowing the way
did we ever think we'd be here
a tightrope between, no time to spare
hunting brightness from out of the deep night
off and on like a year of starshine
and though they may feel far or fake
refuse to believe they mean nothing
fill in the bed of my dry lake
from a great height, warmed by moonlight

you are enough

oh love
my dusty dove
my whole heart
my first evening star
we're up very late
but barely awake
silent and close
holding what we may hold
in a room that's not your home
lit by the cold glow
if only you came
the same old way
will the waves run between your toes
will you fray the hem of your coat
and i know it's not right to go
beyond today
and i know your wings will grow
this or that way
we'll follow them, with patient feet
until they can spread
along the wild cacophony
somewhere beyond this place
but oh love
you are enough
my sweet one
my midnight sun
will not fade away
in the new day
however halfway safe
and afraid
and i know it's not right to go
beyond today
and i know your wings will grow
this or that way
we'll follow them, with patient feet
until they can spread
along the wild cacophony
somewhere beyond this place
oh love
my little love
my own blood
you are enough

getting close
02:40
|

|
not much left to say
worn hearts on display
through a distant doorway
we yearn to go
to bid good riddance
to the cold statistics
that hold down the spirit
may it be so
so restless and adrift
where the stainless stay lit
faces fall away
it's getting close
my scars are aching
with the pain of waiting
i'm amazed we made it
we're going home
in the brilliant distance
we'll turn back to listen
and we'll barely hear it
we'll be long gone

looking at you
02:44
|
|||
|
make a sign
a well-wrought placard
to communicate your system
tell me your name
as though it mattered
a near identity
regardless it's
been a long drift
a few more days won't harm us
plans will be made
and we'll be vacating
the twisted cages we're made in
never mind
the fools who robbed us
are you my long lost sister
the moon
seen in the day
is what connects you to me
we will press on
oh we will feign none
although our bones come undone
in the heatwaves
nothing left to break
so we will drill for dopamine
the flashing figures fall to nothing
looking at you
the entire world is still becoming
looking at you
i don't mind the mysteries
that will forever stay unseen
they said these days will go away
but what ever could that mean
hold the phones and break the dates
and drop the acts and stay up far too late
the things a life takes all remade
looking at you
