We all know to question if our glass is half empty or half full
but if we take that glass and half it we can change the whole view
once a glass half full now a half glass full
now the leaves are shaking and it’s a stream straight to heaven
nestled between your ear and the sound of the ocean
now you know your lover forever more
and what it really means to say goodbye
to a precious gaze in this maze
now you see life is full
of a terrible beauty
where nothing is sure if it’s dreaming
and the moon eclipsed is just another eye closing
now you can look up at the sky and notice it’s gleaming
the stars are shaking, into light they are breaking
such a beautiful sight
this world in the making
so go to the edge of the river with your glass overflowing
shed all your tears as rain for the falling
just let your heart beat in its motion
this time around
your tears are an ocean

I dance alone and countlessly wonder
if you're as confused as I am
I want to fall in love again
I want to find your gaze
and feel violated and connected
and be confused about what it is you mean
and what you mean to me
it's all some sultry dream.
I want your kisses again
I want you in my dreams again.

For you I can lay the secrets
Of the past thousand years bare
I profess the whispers of trees
And empty my mind of all my dreams
No one believes me the things I see
Quick to make one word out of me
Another waste of time
Romantic, naive
I'd tell you that I love you
But you never believe
I almost don't myself
If it weren't for the smiles I see
The things that I dream
If it weren't for silent nights graced by a whispering breeze
I wouldn't believe
In timeless abandon
Our species disease
Sowed by promises the stars made long ago
You think love is held in the ego?
Don't be absurd
That kind of abandon can only be timeless
So I love you all
What can I say
When my lovers insist on fighting
It splits me like lightning
Humanity what can I say
Your wounds are tender
Your scars are hard
Your stories don't mix
I get it you're ******
But I love you evermore
Even after your heart has been torn
So please stop this madness
I've had enough of you in caskets
We have plenty to do
I want to recreate the world
With you
Do you see yet what splits us in two?
Why must we insist
To not resist
The worst of things
Is it a cycle like the rain?
As inevitable as death?
Can't we rest and shed tears
Can't I hold you without fear?
I love you my dear
Because when things are clear
I know we have always been right here
Twirling in time
Being different people
But the rhyme still shines
And I'm going insane
I'd be committed by you
If I confessed what's on my mind
Rambling about love and sunshine
How there's not one thing more alive than any other
And my suspicion that we're actually all the same
Unconventional to say the least
But so was it to say there was a globe beneath our feet
So I sit here and pray
That one day it'll be obvious
And in the mean time I hold the rain
Because I promised to catch your tears

And suddenly again it's seen
that birds singing really is God singing
I laugh
You laugh
Others laugh
at what boils over inside.
Again it's seen
repetition no longer an insult to being unique
What a relief.
Drink tea.
Don't you see?
It's a sea.
