I want some honesty, some success
I see pictures of a girl who smiled at me 20 years ago
She looks like success
Did I get lost?
Trying to make it?
I feel I haven't sung before,
Never written a song
Never played guitar
I feel like all the things that have put me together
Have just fallen like a stack of sticks

Everyone looks so successful around me
Cars and babies, books and music recordings

I just prayed for help
I could run around the city
Just one more time

When will I land?
I thought life got easier
The steam train of my mind
Is running hot

I must be like a box of fireworks
There's only so much preparation you can do
Before you explode

Round and round I go

I am
As I am
No more
No less
And today
It will do

Clouds pass each other
Kissing like Venn diagrams

Pin his tail
The butterfly too
Use what they were saying
the both of them too

Buildings touch the sky
But 10 times more stand behind the eye
The paths shine
I've walk them a million times

Try to catch me
Locate me
Fascinate and dissect me
Put me on display
For the crowds of imagined friends
Who aren't there

I'll collapse by the end of this bleep
Something immortal
Better than sleep

Hot day, cooling down
Cold shower
Chill

Wordless, the cooking's all done
Rested
Good to be sitting
Curtains partially open
Shadowy lighted room
Clouds behind curtains
It's like what siesta time would be
A time for talking, no
A time where no talking is ok
The peaceful coming of day's end
Mum's quietly moving around the cupboards in the kitchen
The hard-drive is humming away
A car just drive down the court
My feet warm against the touch of wood
No disruptions

Love is in the mind
Love is the only essential ingredient for growth

Maybe something of the old dreams have died
It's the end
And we are on the other side
Now we can be free
Not a moment too soon

Bloom without ropes that bind
But with dance
With water
With being
With truth

Maybe something of the old dreams have died
The cavernous shell
Is cast aside
The world is bigger still
It didn't wait
And it wont

Your memories have tied you in remembrance
You can't deny the hollowness of your life
The distance of it

It's time to find your truth
To be selfish
To not want to be the world
But to be here

Maybe something of the old dreams have died
And die they will again
Like they are meant to

I'm peering with a new silence
A discerning silence
I wait for sound

Dreams are coming and going
Up and down the shore

What's wrong is right
It's life
If it's alright, it's alright
