I felt it this morning
An opening in the ceiling
A gigantic crack in the
Heart of man
Light...
Dreams could and would come true
Love is the way

God calls me home
I can’t wait to go
It’s a new chapter for us
And I’ve got myself a ticket

It will be that summer I was singing about
And we’ll all be around
From where I’m looking
The Earth will be upside down

People round here look vicious
I think it’s the spin
I get tougher
So do they

My mind circles like grey clouds
Fills my pen with that ink
And I stencil the page
Like cracks in the pavement

God calls me home
I can’t wait to go
It’s a new chapter for us
And I’ve got myself a ticket

It will be that summer I was singing about
And we’ll all be around
From where I’m looking
The Earth will be upside down

Like an Opera singer
Behind closed doors
All velvet imagination
I’ll shine this blade, made for salvation

I don’t know how people do it sometimes
But I will and I do
Just like the call coming thru

God calls me home
I can’t wait to go
It’s a new chapter for us
And I’ve got myself a ticket

It will be that summer I was singing about
And we’ll all be around
From where I’m looking
The Earth will be upside down

Labour and Nature
Always at odds
For a time
Everything out of my hands drops

Sparks, friction
And science fiction
Your masterpiece
Can wait

Because I want to be in love

I will,
try to see everyone as awesome
And beautiful regardless

Yes, it’s hard to maintain
A mirror shatters again and again
Until

Understand me love
A little help goes a long way

What did I say?

Yeah, because I want to be in love

I will,
try to see everyone as awesome
And beautiful regardless

She said so many people
Said that about this place
Here at Lea’s table

She said she loves
The quiet of the garden sometimes
Just outside

I could see two sides of myself
One side yapping and buzzing
And the other
A Tall slab of granite
Ready to fall on it’s side

I knew that one was nothing without the other
Only with music would the two meet
It was like purpose and the way to do it
Being and how to be

I wasn’t perfect
It was ok
But at least I knew a place
Where the vine grew along the blade

Then I thought
What is light
Without a tree to shine on?

And I was sunshine in a chair
Getting dosed on another season
Feeling heavy
But passing

There’s been DejaVu lately
The invincible man I’m creating
Is breaking

Like raw eggs into pasta

Dark brother
I know you hate me
But I know you don’t
You know I hate you
But you know I don’t
I gotta go


What if we were at war below
I can see you
You know
Maybe it’s me
Daydreaming I’d overthrow
..You know
Or that hand that glowed

Dark brother
I know you hate me
But I know you don’t
You know I hate you
But you know I don’t
I gotta go

I gotta go
I gotta go
I gotta go

Maybe not all at once
Sticks and stones

Shadow heart
My shadow is as big as the skies at night
Looking and searching
And it’s coming up more
Understanding
But I don’t think this one can be probed with too much light
Just love
And maybe song

One day you’ll accept me as I am
Light and Dark
Black and White

How empty it is to force a smile
The same can be said for going wild

No good or evil, only purity
Said Mrs. Smith

As I am

Without judgement
With running or jumping
Without shouting
And without lips withheld

Just as I am

The air will feel alive
And so will I
Because I’ve done nothing to change it
I’m good with it

Those famous words again
It’s alright
It’s alright man
It’s alright

One day you’ll accept me as I am

The sand will be warm
And comforting
Grand and mountainous
Yet soft enough to pass thru your hands
Once it was hard to look at
Ugly
Shameful
Painful
Nasty and cruel
But we’ll get over it

One day you'll accept me as I am
