A simple peace exists In all the lines between And balanced upon the throne You are, precariously strung up Let go of the crumbling precipice Breathe in the lucid flame Strip the grey of your soul Proceed to devour the filth Enjoy the stonehenge of your years Make another mark in the Earth And bind the roots of life To the dreary mists of days long past Take first the heart of jaded lies Then shatter the cracked backbone Let loose the tides of weary men And bring forth the unspoken champion Refuse the offer of eternity Trust the deception in reflection For who am I when I am with you And who am I when solitary You wish to journey in fluorescent tunnels To find many paths left untrimmed Brush past the weeds and kudzu That degrade the refusal of submission

Fluorescent Kudzu
A simple peace exists In all the lines between And balanced upon the throne You are, precariously strung up Let go of the crumbling precipice Breathe in the lucid flame Strip the grey of your soul Proceed to devour the filth Enjoy the stonehenge of your years Make another mark in the Earth And bind the roots of life To the dreary mists of days long past Take first the heart of jaded lies Then shatter the cracked backbone Let loose the tides of weary men And bring forth the unspoken champion Refuse the offer of eternity Trust the deception in reflection For who am I when I am with you And who am I when solitary You wish to journey in fluorescent tunnels To find many paths left untrimmed Brush past the weeds and kudzu That degrade the refusal of submission
