Broken Days 05:02
I will not sleep tonight too many thoughts, muscles too tight here in the dark I’ll replay all that has passed, my youth, the glory of broken days cold winter sun, rises, decays I’ll just get up to stay drunk all day too many doubts, thoughts that delay it is now gone, it’s gone, the glory of broken days
2.
skies are open again birds in the willows . . . grin I watched you drowned afraid of the sight, afraid of the sound swallowing air, lungs break heart in your hand, heart in ache blue grass blowing again waves through the summer trees spin bumble bees drinking lilac wine soft is the fur, tangled and vine I watched you cry afraid of the light, afraid you would die listen for breath, bone body aches alone in the night, loneliness breaks cotton flies in the sky wind breaks the branch, orioles fly dark skies grow, clouds fill with rain summer storm rolls electric again
3.
quiet, until springtime and the cold winter air seems so far away from the summertime and we will wait until springtime and we will wait for the gentle breeze of the summertime as we move through this winter town one last look, one last day, but so far away from the summertime we’ll be glad when we leave this cold, fading town but so sad when we think of the gentle breeze of the summertime and we are forever, hey, hey
4.
sparks fly upward again our dust in spires, spin ashes and snow in my eyes red embers paint blackened skies my heart froze in the river winter water black and dead I hide snow in my heart and orange velvet fires in my head blue flames dance in the wood I'd hold them on my tongue if I could silence is gold, and I sink in the vastness of you, I shrink Cuyahoga remember us in the ground in thick brown earth we drown dried, broken, split our skin green blades grow, new again Cuyahoga I fell asleep in the dream in icy arms in icy streams my eyes are open, gather moss in deep green heaven, we’re lost
5.
today the mood is broken I’m restless and I’m so afraid the outside seems so distant the day, it fades down far and I move through another... another day that’s just the same today the day is broken the day, it fades down far another distant morning I stare over the vacant field so white and gray and broken the day, it fades down far fades down far
6.
light in your eyes fading and dies spirit - wound spirit - move I don’t know, I don’t know where you go, where you go alone in the room the ghost of the moon moth and dust wood and rust spirit - wound spirit - move I don’t know, I don’t know where you go, where you go
7.
washed out, pale skies cold sun burns bright I can really feel this vacant winter day taking me away...far away I can really feel this vacant winter day taking me away...I’m gone, I'm gone cold breath, hits hard sun sets, late March I can really feel this vacant winter day taking me away...far away I can really feel this vacant winter day taking me away...I’m gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
8.
here I am once again just a shell of nothing this all feels just like nothing except nothing at all... why do we try so hard? to prevail over nothing? such a waste because nothing is just nothing at all... I can’t change restless again close my eyes, I’m nothing fade real hard on to nothing except nothing at all... can you feel this last day? this last day is nothing the time fades because nothing is just nothing at all sliding in to the gray December desert day
9.
Blue Heron 02:11
I was out walking in your eyes lines on my hands map the skies we were just falling in deep sea I’m afraid of you - and you of me naked before you, I stand this flesh is a line in the sand your smile is my only true friend when I see it broken I end, I end
10.
I drive, I stray for three long days straight towards the sinking sun sadness builds, I am done drifting through the miles no words, no smiles I don’t think, I feel I don’t speak, I’m just... halfway gone caught in between here and there hey, hey
11.
Cat & Dog 04:30
I saw you standing in a field of green you were smiling, shining in the sunny breeze and you were fine, fine I saw you sitting in the trees you were dreaming, reaching up on bended knees and you were fine, fine we are rolling, flying on the sea arms extended you envelope me and we are fine, fine and we are fine
12.
as the afternoon, summer sunshine prevails flowing, flickering, off the desert palms today washed out summer blue, hovers closely to the rails I stand quietly, I absorb it all today pale blue prevails first so quietly, then so violently, the train... roars so endlessly, on the desert floor today cypress green details, summer clouds prevail, then rain I stand quietly, I absorb it all today pale blue prevails
