Northern Winds
04:01
|
|||
Cast upon
Northern winds
Where they’re going
Where they’ve been
Sailing by
Rocky shores
Jagged shores
And jaded tones
Reaching for
Light from the sky
Akin to lore
Wanting more
In the port
Of gone tomorrows
There they are
My wanting sorrows
It’s come to be
A fleet of fleeing
An armada of being
Sworn to be fleeting
Under a forgotten flag
And nameless captains
Ruled by the tidings
Of what has yet to have happened
Cast upon
Northern winds
Where they’re going
Where they’ve been

From the Night...
03:15
|
|||
In a dark room
Full of dreams
White teeth glow bright
Separating me from the night
Running exposed
I wonder who knows
What is really means
To lose yourself
You’re still there, mind you
Just lost in the world and blind to
What made you you since before
What asked for less and made you more
A skeleton, a ghostly friend
A message from a withered pen
Saying what’s to be may be
Only here and just as then
Part of the divide
Living on the outside
Seven stories of attics
All wrapped up and bonafide
Silent is the night
Where nothing’s got the right
To set aside from the masses
Dragging days and full brimmed glasses
At one with the self
And all I’ll never be
Seeing things for what they are
It means so much to me
In another twilight
A hammock of dreams
White teeth glowing bright
Separating me from the night

...In the Interlude
03:59
|
|||
Where did it go
Why did it leave me
I’ve always treasured it
Protected the pleasure of it
Where did it stay
Was I in the way
Who found out
That it mattered anyway
Why did it leave
Forgotten to bereave
I could have kept it warm
From time’s ugly sways
Why has it resurfaced
After all this while
Like I enjoyed the waiting
Holding back a smile
Why can’t it be free
And just drawn to me
Tilted to the wayside
From the out to the inside
Why can’t it get along
With comfort’s song
Why is it alright
When things are all wrong
Whys it on the table
Distraught and mis-fabled
Always in the credits, always on par
Kept near as it pains to be far
Well I guess its resurfaced
At least at some capacity
Cant say it hasn’t been too long
In the interlude
Somethings always felt gone

On It Goes
03:38
|
|||
Where did we go wrong
It goes on, this somber song
It’s been too long, it’s been too rare
I can’t find it anywhere
Where did we go wrong
Why can’t we get along
It’s hard to share the truth we’ve found
When we do nothing but go around
Why's it all go away
Why's it all here to stay
What’s what, what’s at bay
What’s it take to just say
Why’s it all go away
Why’s it all in the fray
Here beneath a cold sun’s ray
On another just today
Where did we go wrong
Where's it lead, this somber song
I can’t be the only one
Who’s been an only one
And on it goes
As it should
May it sing
As it only could

|

The birds are singing
But I know it’s not true
The song they’re saying
Under a sky that’s blue
It’s many a yesteryear
That brought me here
Ushered on not by sunshine
Sometimes all too clear
The flowers liven
The evenings brighten
But it all falls into
Another horizon
The birds are a singing
But I know it’s not true
The song that they’re saying
It’s not for me or for you
The seasons are uncaring
Their sways often daring
Be careful guarding
From their ways
It’s many a yesteryear
That brought me here
By time that’s not mine
Falling downward in line
The sun falls sooner
The moon's shine brightens
But it all falls into
Another days horizon
The birds are a singing
And I know it’s not true
It isn’t much
But it’s what it means to you
It's many a yesteryear
That brought me here
The birds are a singing
But I know it's not true
The song that they're saying
It's not for me or you

Apropos of Nothing
04:58
|
|||
Things were going apropos
There she was
And away she goes
Isn’t it ever hard to know
Where you’ve been
And where the wind blows
Hard trotten hopes
And forgotten promises
Half ways plans
Gone awry from prominence
It’s you I’ve found
A summer’s tune
Where things’ve gone awry
Under a crescent moon
It's you I've found
A summer's tune
Where things have gone awry
Under a crescent moon
Juniper berry wreaths
Pine cone covered forest floors
Where there’s been life
There can be more
An apropos of nothing
A speech ringing thin
It’s ever true what they’re saying
People only care what you’ve been
What you’ve been
Ringing thin
What you’ve been
What you’ve been
It's you I've found
A summer's tune
Things were going apropos
There she was
And away she goes

All I Never
02:57
|
|||
All I never wanted
All that came
And left me daunted
All that tried to take from me
What I am
All that left me in the wind
Holding on
Whatever came to be
Risen to and from misery
It’s been what it’s been
Lost in self direction
I’ve come to know
Some things aren’t worth knowing
There’s solace in deceit
But truth has a way of showing
Ever in between
Worry and content in lean
There’s always more but so little’s worth having

Waterfall...
04:59
|
|||
Over inspected
Lost and dejected
In over it all
Floating up a waterfall
In a view of scale
Bucketless yet in pale
Of actuality versus tale
Only but oh well
High highs
And low lows
Living by ebs
Drifting in flows
How it comes
And there it goes
A world of yes’s
Ruled by no’s
But what’s more
Of being less
Many coffers
They ask for rest
What’s in store
Where’s it go
Sometimes though
It pains to know
I’d like to be
Something worth being
A horizon hidden behind
Things worth seeing
High highs
Low lows
Here it comes
And there it goes
High highs
Lows lows
Here it comes
And there it goes
Tomorrows waiting
As it always has
Time’s sheer habit
Bereft in clad

...Calling on Empty
01:43
|
|||
Never before have I needed you
Feeling so
Black and blue
Heavy, stuck on empty
And they don’t even care
Tidings of fightings
Lost to the air
If it isn’t anything
At least it’s not fair
Calling on empty
Calling on true
Where’s it all gone
Where can I find a clue
Tongue twisted
Fate wristed
Sent going over there
Time blissful
Days wistful
And they don’t even care
Calling on empty
Calling on true
What’s less to have
And more to lose
Never before have I needed you
Feeling so
Black and blue
Heavy, stuck on empty
And they don’t even care

Only Again
04:01
|
|||
In between what falls between
You and only I
Living hard, faithfully
In defiance of those lies
Who knew
How blue
It’s only what it’s been
So true
Oh you
It only happens again
Don’t tell me
Disspell me
Cast me to the distance
I’ve been there
I’ve held through
Kept walking by the misses
All I’ve got to hold
Is to holding on
I may be lost again
But I’m not the only one
In between what falls between
You and only I
Living hard, faithfully
In defiance of those lies
Who knew
How blue
It's only what it's been
So true
Oh you
It only happens again
It only happens again

Muse of Music
06:39
|
|||
If it doesn’t hold true
May I please move on
If it doesn't really matter
What did it become
Could have been in my head
A muse unruly
Not tied down to reality
Not part of me, truly
If it wasn’t meant to be
Why did it keep finding me
Why couldn’t I get away
As I tried to follow my way
Couldn’t keep it from song
Even if it felt misplaced
Couldn’t keep going along
Just another heart’s escape
The muse of music
Its soothing love
Its call is drunken
Falling from above
Origins but trivial
Why’s all lost to abandon
Where's it going
Wanderings in tandem
The muse of music
Its soothing love
Its call is drunken
Falling from above
Origins but trivial
Why's all lost to abandon
Where's it going
Wanderings in tandem
If it doesn’t hold true
May I please move on
If it didn’t really matter
Why did it go on
The muse of music
Its soothing love
Its call is drunken
Falling from above
Origins but trivial
Why's all lost to abandon
Where's it going
Wanderings in tandem
Its call is
From above
If it doesn’t hold true
May I please move on
If it didn’t really matter
What did it become

An Ode to No One
04:54
|
|||
A lost soldier
Ten days older
Only his past
Hung over his shoulder
Been down the line
Many a time
Only ever knew
He was going
Followed the drummer boy
Through many a tune
In forests and valleys
Over mountains and dunes
Stood beneath the sun
In old summer’s Junes
Went by the wayside
Under cold winter moons
Nobody knows him
But nobody stares
Nobody follows him
But he doesn’t care
On to the next
Sun in the west
He’ll give what he’s got
That’s whats his best
Been down the line
Many a time
Only ever knew
He was going

Together Through Time
06:12
|

Taking care
Of oneself
For peaceful moments
And glowing health
On and on
And on we go
A stubborn pride
Can bar the windows
To a self that’s mine
Together through time
Let it happen
Let it be
Those hapless musings
Of misery
A self that’s yours
Is like no other
Hold you dearly
I tell you brother
On and on
And on we go
It feels like we go on
With a loveless self
Against ourselves
Without ourselves
Your favorite person
Should be you
A you that’s been there
Through aches and pains
Without sun-kissed roses
In a calming rain
Oh how we go on
The wardens to our souls
Carrying around lanterns
Scaring away ghosts
You’ve got a reason
That reason is you
Let the leaves fall
As they may
Be great for it breaks
Through the fray
To a self that's mine
Together through time
On and on
And on we go
On and on
And on we go
On and on
And on we go
On and on
And on we go

In Stride
02:52
|

The flow of now
The wall of know hows
Where I’ve been before
Bereft of kin
Always in the distance
Ever in the fray
Out of line in stride
Behind in the tides
As it goes
There it went
Times were had
Time was spent
Always in the distance
Ever in the fray
Out of line in stride
Behind in the tides
As it goes
There it went
Times were had
Time was spent
Always in the distance
Ever in the fray
Out of line in stride
Behind in the tides
There she was
And there she went
Things somehow
Things came and went
Always in the distance
Ever in the fray
Out of line in stride
Behind another time
The flow of now
The wall of know hows
Where I've been before
Bereft of kin
Always in the distance
Ever in the fray
Out of line in stride
Behind another time

Hello, It's Me, Delusion
05:39
|
|||
Lost in a sea of confusion
Hello, it’s me, delusion
I’ve been knocking now for awhile
I walked here, every mile
Where you been
My old companion
How much wind
Has found us in this canyon
I hear it now
Where it’s been
How it fell on deaf ears
When everybody tried to win
Who told you that
It ever ended
That the dragging glee
Was ever not splendid
It’s gone on now
For a time measurable
It’s gone on how
By a way pleasurable
Where have you been
My old companion
How much wind
Has found us in this canyon
Lost in a sea of confusion
Hello, it’s me, delusion
I’ve been knocking now for awhile
I walked here every mile
Hello, it's me, delusion

Where It All Never Ends
03:35
|
|||
In the dark expanse
Where it’s all never again
Past the blazen stars
Where you wonder where you are
It’s been all but over
I’ve been all but had
In the twilight
It’s gone into the night
There’s the wayside
Down by the sea tides
Where it’s alright
Where you’re always in sight
On the corner of space
Between glory and disgrace
Where the comets fall
Where it’s one and all
In the dark expanse
Where it all never ends
Where the constellations
Try to make sense of the stars' loose ends
It’s been all but over
I’ve been all but had
In the twilight
It’s gone into the night
|

Feeling brash
Uncompleted intact
Wondering where the bottom is
Down where it all ends
Rivers into the sea
You and only me
Completely disjointed
All signs skyward pointed
Seas of oceans
Blue evermore
Feeling for
A forgotten door
Outer innards
Nothing but winners
Just deserts
And only dinners
Rivers into the sea
You and only me
Something of past times
New days and old rhymes
What’s more
It’s nothing less
Than being here
Falling into the west
Seas of oceans
Blue Evermore
It’s only forward
We’re leaning toward
Rivers into the sea
You and only me
Something of past times
New days and old rhymes
What’s more
It’s nothing less
Than being here
Falling into the west
Into the west (x4)
