from cityscapes to chips of paint
eyes between the window panes
looking down upon the braids
of people as they all parade
"what is it you need to make you happy?"
you got heart your body and your mind
make some ground with the land below your feet
you are more than what you're told to be
so claim the city that's been trodden and breathe life into the ocean where it sleeps
as the king lives out his fate
the people of his hall debate
"should we dance or should we cry?"
"his crown is gold, but at what price?"
you got heart your body and your mind
make some ground with the land below your feet
you are more than what you're told to be
so claim the city that's been trodden and breathe life into the ocean where it sleeps
breathe life into the ocean where we sleep
you got heart your body and your mind
make some ground with the land below your feet
you are more than what you're told to be
so claim the city that's been trodden and breathe life into the ocean where it sleeps

this place is a stormy ocean
limbs are sprawled across the shore
everyone is jumping islands
in hopes of finding themselves
so long forgotten
can I move myself, escape the body?
will this be my digression
or will I see the light in our frames singing?
this hourglass is waiting to be turned around
it's far to heavy, too far in the ground
do I have the potential
to trick my mind to turn this on it's head again?
I wonder what we'd look like to a house of giants
I wonder what they'd have to say
would they see the potential of you and me?
or are we just ants pulling twenty times the body weight?
so long forgotten
can I move myself, escape the body?
will this be my digression
or will I see the light in our frames singing?

The Mending Wall

the earth is shaking
my back is breaking
is this lost or is it waiting to be found?
the earth is shaking
my back is breaking
I can see the gaps between my bones
it sure seems like I'm running out of ground
but maybe all I have to do is turn around
so let me know
should I be waiting
or should I move on in search for more
so let me know
should I be waiting
or will this be the mending wall
we've seen
all our naked truths
but you left me naked and hanging from a noose
you're a dirty projector
spitting mixing images
I can see your silhouette sifting through the light
I swear I see an open door
but you don;t sit as closely as before
I'd like to show you I've turned this all around
just let me take you through my newly painted town
so let me know
should I be waiting
or should I move on in search for more
so let me know
should I be waiting
or will this be the mending wall
will we find it
or is it here
our greatest love yet our greatest fear
so many faces that we will greet
but there's faces and then there's yours
hopeful the rain will fall
to clear this ambiguity
will this be the mending wall

we've been in similar places
with that I ask
how is she?
you don't need to tell me, I know
she's the best thing that's ever happened and you'll never let her go
those are quite familiar traces
that you've etched
those are my lines those are my lines
you don't need to say another word
because she's the best thing that's ever happened
so go ahead and kiss her slow
for me
we've been in similar places
with that I ask
how is she?
does she make you feel strong?
does she make you feel horny?
do you like that?
does it feel ripe?
does she like it?
does it feel right?
you don't need to tell me
I know
we've been in similar places
with that I ask
how is she?
is she happy?

quick gotta get those kids something
to worry about before they start thinking too much
somebody get them prescription
to relieve them from feeling anything at all
don't worry you won't feel a thing
take a taste and everything will go away
gotta gotta get them believing
in everything in every single word we say
shine our shoes dry clean our blazers
so we can take christmas vacation
don't worry you won't feel a thing
take a taste and everything will go away
just give them a bread and circus
we'll need them to fill our pockets
bread and circus

Blue

whenever I feel blue, I fly out passed the moon
I turn around and see that everything is perfect
floating out in space
I circumnavigate
all the colors that I see
below me
a mix of black and grey
intercept the greens of may
making birth to the soils where the bodies pray
no it's not about me
no matter where the story goes
it's bound to unfold
the pages may be burning
but through that the kids are learning
as the children bloom
down the deep and narrow flumes
we all celebrate
their birthdays
we celebrate their birthdays
and as their petals spread
they dance around the bend
through the breaking sky
the sun will cry
the sun will cry it's tears on us
no matter where the story goes
it's bound to unfold
the pages may be burning
but through that the kids are learning
no matter where the story goes
(oh, mother said, don't be sad)
it's bound to unfold
the pages may be burning
(the world is still turning)
but through that the kids are learning
(to us you're always welcome home)
whenever I feel blue, I fly out passed the moon
I turn around and see that everything is perfect
