Red Yellow Sun

Horizon

All’s externally cold
Graciously following
Have I lost control?
Who did I used to be?

I’m a better soul
Than I used to be
I’m a better soul

All is glitter not gold
And I am not anything
When all lays still
Belies the sting

I’m a better soul
Than I used to be
I’m a better soul (know what you’ve received)
Than I used to be (know what you’re giving)

Who we are
Who we love
What we want to stay close to
If we learn what we are not
The very thing we try to hold onto

Forgive a lie
What is for sure
Only blind eyes know not what they’re looking for
They’ll be another time for me and you

Red Yellow Sun

Such is the cage that has been offered
Don’t hide your face away in melted corners
Shivering early now and often
I am the bird that beats inside the coffin

No cloud obscures this red yellow sun
And I lie alone quietly awake

I will never leave you in this hollow
But I am the bird whose wings you like to borrow
Little did I know you were the silence

No cloud obscures
This red yellow sun
And I lie
And I lie

No greater god
No greater tether
Our hell and our heaven
Always be together

No cloud obscures this red yellow sun
When love and love become One.

Maryjane

Maryjane blinks her eyes
Quiet she withers at night
Haunted by what she believes
Maryjane catches tears
From the visions she hears
Loud as the love in her eye
Yeah, you asked her to stay
You said live for today
Then we will see

You’re not
You’re not alone
Baby please come come
Come on back home
Darling we are more than stones to throw
Where did you go
Where did you go
Where did you go
Maryjane

Maryjane is alright
Though she looks to the side
Avoiding the faces she sees
Still that black crow cries
Just a voice in the night
Maybe that’s what you were hearing

You’re not
You’re not alone
Baby please come come
Come on back home
Darling we are more than stones to throw
Where did you go
Where did you go
Where did you go
Maryjane

Maryjane catches tears from the visions she hears
Loud as the love in her eye
Maryjane disappeared after several years
Nobody knew

You’re not
You’re not alone
Baby please come come
Come on back home
Darling we are more than stones to throw
Where did you go
Where did you go
Where did you go
Maryjane

Crumbs and Broken Shells

All the colors fade in time
It’s all gone black and white, oh no
It’s like the buildings are alive
And we are stuck inside their walls

Words won’t
Lend any comfort now
But I won’t let you dwell
In crumbs and broken shells
Light my sympathetic eyes
To make you realize

On this bridge we walk along
But we are not alone
No no no
It’s like the holy wars of time
Violently alive but always calling

Words won’t lend any comfort now
Cause you cannot climb out
Of crumbs and broken shells
Light my sympathetic eyes
To make me realize
You are beautiful inside.

Years of separating pain
Just to save yourself
The shame of trying
It’s like the circle is complete
But we are left repeating in the quiet

I’ll hold the ladder down
And I won’t let you drown
In crumbs and broken shells
Light my sympathetic eyes
To make you realize

Lend any comfort now
Cause I won’t let you dwell
In crumbs and broken shells
I can show you where to start
Send shock waves through your heart

So light my sympathetic eyes
You make me realize
I am beautiful Inside

Violet

I have seen the devil in his swing
Laughing at me from behind the wall
I hear footsteps by the door
But I can’t answer
All is not in vain

And I once had a dream
That we were paid in dust and miracles

All is full of trust
And all is waking up
Seek not to self-destruct
We can be more than what we are
If we choose to

Laughing are the faces that I see
There’s more than what was once behind me
If I can cherish my belief that we are made of
More than what we know
All is not in vain

Then the devil grew his wings
This angel came and said to him
All things come that only fade away
Yet all is possible

All is full of trust
And all is waking up
Seek not to self-destruct
We can be more than what we are
If we choose to

Guardian

Half soul
I am waiting for
Your arrival when the wind blows in
Will I have the courage to let silence be
To feel anything

About this place we’re in
It isn’t Eden
There are times in life
When we just crumble
When fire leaves her singe
It is the real thing
Tattered daydreams graze
The unreal scenes that fill my days

Half Soul
I’ve been learning more
Our survival can be a trying thing
Will I have the courage to let silence be
To feel anything

About this place we’re in
It isn’t Eden
There are times in life
When we just crumble
When fire leaves her singe
It is the real thing
Tattered daydreams graze
The unreal scenes that fill my days

Will I have the courage to let silence be
To feel anything

On the street today
I saw happy faces playing
Behind black iron bars in spring

Are you hearing me
Is my voice carrying
I’m your guardian
Will you be the purpose that
Will lift me out and pull me back
I’m your guardian

And in the shatter light
I talk to you tonight
Because I cannot sleep again
There’s still much life to live
And we will take in all of it
I still have so much left for you

Where there once was a fight
Peace will sweetly blow
And in your face my life will be told

To Be Alive

Come undo me gently
For I am sure to rust
Don’t you cry
And don’t you worry
Cause all that’s been is done

If you should find
That the cost of your freedom
Has climbed way too high
And you’d pay for a reason
To be alive

Flat spin on re-entry
Dizzy glazed unfixed
I can’t take the horn of plenty
The eagle bangs his wing

If you should find that the cost of your freedom
Has climbed way too high
And you’d pay for a reason
To be alive

If you should find
That the cost of your freedom
Has climbed way too high
And you’d pay for a reason
To be alive

If you should find
that the cost of your wisdom
seems to deny everything that you wished for
Still you’re alive

How does it feel

If the road less travelled
Doesn’t lead me back to spring
I just have one thing
I’m dying
To let you know

How does it feel
To know you are
I can feel it in the trust
You’re the only one

Well isn’t it always something
To be allowed in grace
To live in what you do
Not what you say

How does it feel
To know you are
I can feel it in the trust
You’re the only one

I should say thank you

How does it feel
To know who you are
You’re the only one

Only the Sum of

All the voices quiet
They don’t see me
Things feel kind of quiet
When we’re empty

Not everything is something to hide
Just stay alive

Too much confusion is happening
Too much illusion to purify

Blink you shall see
Not in need
Things change clean
We are just a paradigm
Not everything is something to hide

Not everything is something to hide
Just stay alive

Real things deceive
Twisting seeds over me
Watching faces in the night
Lean close to body to steal the light

Not everything is something to hide
Just stay alive

Levi

Show me around your faded cup
Is it filled with more than dust
I used to be
Filled up like that
I may have forgotten
In the sacred haze
In the passing of our days

No one can take what you give me
No one can stop the sun from burning
No one can take what you give me
Levi

Flowing back down then rising up
This is the way we seem to be
Cold is the dream
That swallows us
Stillborn to being
And like the flame
We didn’t ask

No one can take what you give me
No one can stop the sun from burning
No one can take what you give me
Levi

Burning

A narrow sun
Is driven down
Your eyes have gone
I’m still in cloud

It goes beyond the flesh and blood
No hand can touch
The others

In dreaming
I see you
And you’re not shaking
Like you used to

In dreaming
I see you
And you’re not shaking
Like you used to

A narrow sun
Is driven down
Your eyes have gone
And I’m still proud
