Err

I'll lay my head upon the sky
And slowly let my thoughts untie
I've troubled one too many cells
It's time for me to walk and tell
I'll speak you what you want to hear
The truth will have us disappear
But only we can make it be
If I can go then you are free
We're in this heavy place again
Where nothing's really happening
It's all the past inside our bones
Committing us to what we've known
So hard to move these shoulders now
The ones you held without a doubt
A song has learned our story line
The final note: a slip in time

to slip (up)

Glass Doors

And suddenly I do not feel the need to speak again
To take you to my room tonight and try to play pretend
The only conversation that remains is silence now
So let it be in stillness that our bodies take a bow
I've wandered through this skin so long and finally returned
To some place I'd forgotten but completely reaffirmed
I'd like to settle in and watch the windows open wide
To listen to the wind as it renters my whole mind
It's something like a song a weathered spirit taught me young
I'll sing it with my spirit and the notes will carry on

open

The Last Thirst

If we are taken by the sun
We won't remember anyone
A fire hotter than our bones
Will eat us up 'til we're alone
And that is where the water stops
It cannot flow where it is hot
Remain athirst the rest of time
There's nothing left to ease your mind
Another home does not exist
For those who never looked for it

what we choose to make our end

Of Brighter Days

I will not lose You once again
I need Your strength, I need a friend
I can't remember where I am
But if I hear You, I will stand
And if my knees give out once more
I'll crawl upon this hardened floor

I want to reach the end with those
I've ever had the chance to know
To bring You people's breaking hearts
And show You how they fall apart
Examine me and test my soul
Until it's time to make me whole

And take the thoughts I cannot bear
Restore the truth from everywhere
A lighter head can set ablaze
A world that's seeking brighter days
The end will come when Love itself
Has filled the space outside of hell

title and inspiration taken from Author's, "Of Brighter Days" album

In the 3rd world

what is fairness in the eyes of those who never see
a life outside of here and there where everything just bleeds
it's in the roots and fills the veins with water lacking air
and breaths are shortened all the more until there's nothing there

if what we had was only this imagine what you'd do
so realize it's been this way for many people who
have told themselves the world exists to burn up what they have
the end is often yesterday tomorrow musn't last

for the people who truly live one day at a time because tomorrow may be worse, it may not come at all

Heavy Treads

if i can't sleep beside you i don't want to sleep at all
i'd rather be an orphan in the places where i fall

and i'll continue living like i never had a home
make everywhere i'm going just another place to roam

there's not a single step that i can purposely explain
but all of them collectively are holding fast today

it's not the kind of feeling you could ever even dream
i'm nothing but myself the days i'm nothing like i seem

some days weigh more than others

Insignia

Enough with all the anger, enough with all the skin
I'm tired of the people that I've been letting in
This nothingness is lonely and more than I can take
I want to be remembered as nobody's mistake
To sing at every silence and hum at every word
Put all of it in poems that everybody's heard
I'd like to sit in thicket and let it swallow roots
That flourish into gardens and harvest many fruits
Without the fear of waiting or wanting to escape
Release the sense of longing for somebody someday
The thought of it is simple and easy on the eyes
A mess of little secrets I've come to recognize

all a shambles
