Fragments

From Paris ’45, to the ocean so wide
Fragments of a life, the day you said goodbye
It isn’t just the rain, makes water in my eye
Four movies in one day, you mean each word you say
And then you say nothing…
The silence you hear, my exploding heart
I dare not look up, and contemplate
The silence of space
The distance of your eyes
The hoping and the hurting
That leaves me paralyzed
The sun rose in the west, I didn’t even care
And when the war was over, you asked me for a prayer
And while my mind was frozen, I let the chance escape,
One beat, one kiss, too dangerous, too beautiful
You wish you’d known me better, I wish I had too
I dare not look up, and contemplate
The darkness of the street
The yearning of the years
The hoping and the hurting
The ringing in my ears
I dare not look up, to contemplate
The mind that I’ll lose
The letters that I’ll keep
The hoping and the hurting
The name I’ll never speak

When elephants fight inside my head
The grass gets hurt, think of the worms!
Don’t ride an elephant to catch a fly
Don’t ride a worm to touch the sky

Last Wish

The cold, cold color of stone,
At the gathering of the loved
Matches the color of you,
So the world revolves
Country church, graveyard stones, confetti in the mud
One or two, who do not know, come by to talk of blood
Seeming so tired
Pushed by a stranger
We whisper about you,
Could that be him?
I choose to just ignore, I know that you’d agree
First time I’ve seen you in more than half your life,
Absence makes the heart grow colder and harder
Presence here, absence there, silent and unknown
You’ll live on in photographs, forgotten on a phone
The color of silence
No gathering of the loved,
Matches the color of me
The bed, the tubes, the flood
And no more the world revolves for me, my long lost friend
Absent in life, absent in death, consistent to the end
Now a sinking ship, I’m half beneath the sea,
The flotsam, the oil slick, the toys they all float free
My last wish, there’s nothing to agree
Father, easier to become than it is to be
My vaguest memories, a playground just for me
You were just coincidence of mere proximity
And you know, I just don’t care, as you cared for me

Expression of the Frog

A frog in the well
Does not know the sea
It’s eyes are green glass
It’s soul, perfidy
To live with wolves, howl like a wolf
We’re here to look, and be amazed
We’re here to pull at the wrist restraints

Expression of Humanity
01:23
|

My head was of wax
Still I walked in the sun
And felt the melting down
Of all I’d become
A child lost at sea
A fading Valkyrie
Bad time for humanity
A pod, without a pea

Vanished Land
08:56
|

My ear pressed up, against the past
You don’t fit inside my head
Gulf of time, unkind ghosts
Inconvenient love
You vanished, as if from Rousay
Long lost for dead and gone
Grief was calm and hope was dead
When there you stood, on the vanished isle
I flew, but missed the sky
Ahead of you in my own time
The afternoon shadow of someone else
And back at school, I see the empty desk
Within the fog, if I spy that vanished land
Row toward it,
Keep that cold, cold steel in my hand

Expression of Departure
00:33

My last time here
And the room is like new
Walls painted white
One way glass for the view
Comfortable seats
For spectators to the show
And now its time to go
