Disappearing One

What have you done my little spark
Cursing my name 'cause again I put you out
Falling apart, you tell yourself you are
Dreaming only of the ones who never dream of you

I'm your disappearing one
Vanish when the curtain's drawn
But I will come again and you will let me in
And you'll see I never disappear for long

Into you room I stumble now
Too tired to cower and it's too late to draw you out
And there you lie like a painting of Christ
Bleeding on the heads of the ones who nailed you down

I'm your disappearing one
Vanish when the curtain's drawn
But I will come again
And you will let me in
And you'll see I never disappear for long

Flutter Girl

I'm drinking dust
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
"Cause you're better off alone than with me
So hide your face
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon you become a fool for words when i speak

Flutter Girl you don't wanna know what i live
You don't wanna take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

My hands are rough
My fingers cold
And your heart so young and so naïve to ever feel for a
moment
That I might dare to believe...
I'll tear your wings as I melt in your smile as I run all your
colors away

Flutter Girl you don't wanna know what I live
You don't wanna take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Follow My Way

Little one don't be a fool, I'm a wreck when I look mighty
In euphoria I'm bruised, in confusion next I'm lightning
In complacence I am small, through oblivion I charge
So follow my way
When I'm not leading anyone
Open and frayed
When you can see that I'm unsure
Out on my way I'm only pure when I get lost
And you're only needing, when you're finding that I'm not
You're just looking for a boy, bathed in infrared and sunlight
I'm all polish and reward, when I'm confident I'm hopeless
Just like everybody else, right before they fall apart
So follow my way
When I am falling from your heart
When I'm the pain
Fever and sweet relief in one
Out on my way
Though I'm not worthy of your trust, follow me down into a swan dive
All eyes closed tightly
Lowly, slowly now I know I like where you go when you're gone
Warm your hands inside my veins, I might be contagious
Through oblivion I charge
Follow my way
When I'm useless to your cause
When I derail
Calm in the patience of remorse
Out on my way
Out on my empty open nerves
When all you know
Is that I don't know where we are
When all you know
Is that I don't know
Follow my way

Mission 2000

Pulled through you and drowning in your swirl
Unfolding in your will
I'm on a mission now
Smoldering down inside your mood
and fanning in your eyes
I'm on a mission now

I'm going to dive through your crying and sleep in your hair
Rise from your ashes and kneel in your prayers
Tear all your temples down
I'm on a mission now

Pulled through you and drowning in your swirl
Unfolding in your will
I'm on a mission now

I'm going to glide on the winds of your breathing
Writhe in your calm and provide your release
Weave into your wanting and needing
And reside in the heart of your strongest beliefs
tear all our temples down
I'm on a mission now

And I have nothing, but then the have is not as good as the want
And I have nothing, but then the have is not as good as the want

I'm on a mission now

Moonchild

Open your arms to the lonely shine
Lonesome as gold in a poor man's smile
See how the moon is full, follow the push and pull
Follow the ebb and flow in the breathing tide
Come on moonchild you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Cat on the road, down in the living night
See how the black dog grins in the diamond light
We're dreaming and we're real, we're broken and we're healed
Give in to what you feel over what you see
Come on moonchild, you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Come on moon flower, you're so far away from now
You could bloom forever in the hour
And when if is only yes and no, and now becomes too soon
I know you'll be alright if you only come away to the moon
In the blue shine
Come on moonchild you're so far away tonight
The door is falling open and we're flying wild
Come on moon flower you're so far away from now
You could bloom forever in the hour

Pillow of Your Bones

The embers of the saint inside of you
Are growing as I'm bathing in your glow
I'm swallowing the poison of your flower
And hanging on the rising of my low
Colorful and falling from your mouth
Like a painted fever in recoil
Like a lie without the pain

On a pillow of your bones
I will lay across the stones
Of your shore until the tide comes crawling back
Throw my pillow on the fire
Make my bed under the eye
Of your moon until the tide comes crawling back

A waning hand on silver granite ways
Will mend my broken limbs and bend my haze
I'm sleeping in the silence of your voice
I'm cradling the peril of my only choice
Colorful and falling from your mouth
Like a painted fever in recoil
Like a lie without the pain

On a pillow of your bones
I will lay across the stone
Of your shore until the tide comes crawling...
Throw my pillow on the fire
Make my bed under the eye
Of your moon until the tide comes crawling back

Even though the truth can burn inside or fall behind
I will wander through your open mind
And you will find no lie can hide
Until the tide comes crawling

Preaching The End of The World

Hello, I know there's someone out there who can understand
And who's feeling the same way as me
I'm twenty-four and I've got everything to live for
But I know now that it wasn't meant to be
'Cause all has been lost and all has been won
And there's nothing left for us to save
But now I know that I don't want to be alone today
So if you find that you've been feeling just the same

Call me now it's alright
It's just the end of the world
You need a friend in the world
'Cause you can't hide
So call and I'll get right back
If your intentions are pure
I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world

I've got a photograph I'll send it off today
And you will see that I am perfectly sane
Not for a lifetime or forever and a day
'Cause we know now that just won't be the case
There will be no commitment and no confessions
And no little secrets to keep
No little children or houses with roses just the
end of the world and me
'Cause all has been gone and all has been done
And there's nothing left for us to say
But we could be together as they blow it all away
And we can share in every moment as it breaks

Call me now it's alright
It's just the end of the world
You need a friend in the world
'Cause you can't hide
So call and I'll get right back
If your intentions are pure
I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world.

Prophecy

Consider this a sign:
This is a train in the night
And now it's time for you to go
You know you had a healthy life boy.
You walk this world like you're a ghost.
Your hands are coming though the needles --
Sick of your tragic and the evils
I am the keeper of the songs of everyone.
Look into the sun and see
Your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith
But now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone
What you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Seem a little sick to me now

This is a coming of the times
You are a witness to the movement
If all you¹re seeing is lies
You had your chance, but now you've blown it
You want this world so you can own it
I am the keeper of the songs of everyone

Look into the sun and see
Your soul is dying
Used to feel the faith
But now you're tired of trying
Should have left alone
What you have stolen from everyone
How are you feeling?
Seem a little sick to me now

From the light on high
A chance to change your fate
Forgiveness falling down
On those who chose to wait
Remember the time
Find yourself home again
Deep within your life
Find yourself a home again
It's a choice
You have chosen your own

In the old days
When the world was young and bright
If you raise the mask
Who will lead us on tonight

In the summer skies, the stars, the light...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seasons

Summer nights and long warm days
Are stolen as the old moon falls
And the mirror shows another face
Another place to hide it all
Another place to hide it all

And I'm lost behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As the seasons roll on by

Sleeping with a full moon blanket
Sand and feathers for my head
Dreams have never been the answer
And dreams have never made my bed

And I'm lost behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As the seasons roll on by

If I should be short on words
And long on things to say
Could you crawl into my world
And take me woes away
Should I be beside myself
Never leave no stay

And I'm lost behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As the seasons roll on by

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still Rain

And so we start another day together
You and I and a million miles between us
I train my moods to bloom like flowers unfolding
Instead of fluttering around
And slowly drowning in the
Steel rain it's taking over
The sky is open and the drones are pouring out
The day inhales in a contagious yawn
And there you smile as though the sun were bouncing in the
Steel rain it's taking over
Here in the little world
The tiny world spins for me
All's well in the tilted world
But there's something falling down in the
Steel rain it's taking over

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunshower

Dark as roses, and fine as sand
I feel your healing in your sting again
I hear you laughing and my soul is saved
On forgotten graves you cry

Crawl like ivy up my spine
Through my nerves and into my eyes
Cuts like anguish
Or recollections of better days gone by
But it's alright
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh, it's alright
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
It's alright
Through your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower
In the sweet sunshower

Eyes like oceans so far away
Feathered trails to a better way
Worried mornings turn into days
And into worried nights

But it's alright
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh, it's alright
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
It's alright
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In a sweet sunshower
In a sweet sunshower
In a sweet sunshower

I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In a sweet
In a sweet sunshower
And it's alright
All you´ll be are today
Are today

It's alright
All you´ll be
Are today

Sweet Euphoria

Sweet Euphoria mine is the heart you own
You lost the grace of the hands that harmed you
In the daze of a thousand yawns
Lost my love, as it is I'm truly gone
In your morning I will sleep
Fire on an open palm
Death for Jesus and plastic armies
Wouldn't bring me back again
Sweet as ether eyes I'm blind to them

And in your aching hour
Time wilts like flowers
Sleeping on land-mine pillows
Tired angels save my love for the lasting one

Sweet Euphoria mine is the heart you stole
Touched and broken are the things you love
Using stars to light your candles
Warms my face but I can't remember yours
Gone are your dandelions falling like mine
Falling like daydream mangos
Diving swallows
Save my love,
Save my love,
Save my love for the lasting one
Sweet euphoria

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wave Goodbye

Words get tangled on your tongue
And you stumble on your feet when you miss somebody
And everywhere you think you see them
Walking down the street when you miss somebody
When you miss somebody you tell yourself
a hundred thousand times
Nobody ever lives forever so you give it one more try
To wave goodbye wave goodbye
Every hurtful thing you ever said is ringing in your ear
When you miss somebody
And every thing of beauty that you see only brings a tear
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody you tell yourself everything
will be alright
Try to stand up strong and brave when all you want to do
Is lay down and die
How long I've waited for an answer or a sign
Lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying
To wave goodbye
So now you start to recognize that every single path you see
Leads to a tear in your eye
So wave goodbye wave goodbye.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I'm Down

What say you now, the door is opening
On your vigil and I'm in my usual way
I save my breath, knowing what you're
Wanting me to say, I only love you when I'm down
You say that midnight opens its arms to me
Leaving you alone, and then I fly so far away
Until the light blurs my vision and I have nowhere to roam
I only love you when I'm down
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind you know
I'm down all the time
Well I know you're reaching out and you need to feel my hand
You want to be understood, Yeah well I understand
I know you hold precious little hope for me
And in your happiness, I'm always drowning in my grief
And I only love you when Im down
And i'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind you know
I'm down all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time
