Flung

When we die, we'll be young
Innocent of all
Helpless and at peace
Hearts may race as they're flung
As they fly between
Cold and deathly heat
Remember this is just our brief furlough
We'll be coming home
To mom
To playgrounds
To sleep
Now, we cry
We wander
We need
When it's my time to leave
I'm sure I'll be afraid
As I 'ought to be
But give me just a short time to let go
Then I'll be back home

Looking at the world
Passing by in curls through a window, dark
Nothing is ever real
Enough to make me feel it won't fall apart
And now I wonder if
There's a place where it does
All the lines we've
Drawn are gone
In Washington, B.C.
(Washington
Washington
Washington, B.C.)
Stargazing in a trance
Hopelessly enchanted by things unknown
Called to explore the seams
The places in between what creation sewed
'Honey, are you alright?'
Somewhere in the night, I could hear her call
'Leave me alone to dream
I promise I'm relieved that I didn't go'
As always, looking for
Where the dreamcatcher's hung
All the lines we've
Drawn are gone
In Washington, B.C.
(Washington
Washington
Washington, B.C.)
Turning alone in bed
Trying to forget all that might've been
I dislocate from Earth
And find myself dispersed through the great unseen
And now I wonder if
I'm a string come undone
Now, I fear that
I've arrived
In Washington, B.C.

Priscilla

Carry your weight across the Earth
Oh, Priscilla
Quaking at the slightest thought of you
Try to locate myself, but then
Finding nothing
I reason I must be in everything
Oh, Priscilla
How could I deserve to be you now?
Lie underneath an open sky
Slide down some new trap door
Crawl out again to see the light
Until I'm out of time
Give me a dream that doesn't end
Oh, Priscilla
Give me something so much more than this
Oh, Priscilla
Give me something so much more than this

Everything Is Not Enough
04:49
|
|||
|
Thoughts failed me then
Though I swore not
To look at where I'd been
I turned my head
And through the knots
Got one last view of home before I left
Everything
And all that was and is to be is not
Enough
I crossed the barrier
Into the realm of shapes and Aether fused as one
Within a day I'd seen
A spiral made of moon and an endless tower
Everything
And all that was and is to be is not
Enough
I'll press on
Until I find a place where I am not
At all
I laid within a sphere
A hundred years had passed since the day I left
I turned around again
To see a purple void, and cried until I slept
Everything
And all that was and is to be is not
Enough
Everything
And all that was and is to be is not
Enough
Enough
Enough

Piece of Heaven
03:58
|
|||
|
Through the moonlit dark
Rounded a corner, then stopped
Taking in
The riparian
Grasses and critters abound
In the wind
Out of the ground I rise to
Touch the heavens
And in those tiny moments
Feel their glow
Back to the ground I'll fall now
Taking with me
The biggest piece of heaven
That I can
When I'm feeling down
Sometimes those disparate flights
are arranged
Mostly, then, I'm sad
Sad that I can't feel much more
Than I have
Out of the ground I rise to
Touch the heavens
And in those tiny moments
Feel their glow
Back to the ground I'll fall now
Taking with me
The biggest piece of heaven
That I can
(Take the room you know
And make it up anew
Hold those
Dreams in view) x2

Fairy Song
02:47
|

|
In a dream, oh
Thought I saw
Oh
All eternity
Thought I saw
It all
I leave to find
Warmth in the sky
The melting snow like glitter in the dawning light
It slips away
Always the same
The winter came--the sun, the moon, the stars, the rain
Is what you get not worth a try?
You burn it all till it runs dry
And in the ash, reveal a pyre
Frost alight, blotting the sky

Fleeting Glance
05:53
|
|||
|
As if it were enough for me to see that glow
From a distance
As if I wouldn't travel through the midnight snow
To feel it for myself
So I ask
Why do I want to hold this so tight?
A fleeting glance
That bellows as it crumbles into dust
Within my grasp
Out from the tops of the trees, and on
Blown to the wind like the leaves, and on
It's true that most of all we do eventually
Comes to nothing
But try to understand that all the waste you've lain
Is beautiful enough
We're crying out to sing deeply of the moss
That covers trees
A coveted love nestled in the dark
For none to see
Out from the tops of the trees, and on
Blown to the wind like the leaves, and on
Out from the tops of the trees, and on
Blown to the wind like the leaves, and on
(Thrown like the April pollen
Into eternity
Blown to the sky in an arc, then
Into eternity)
And when that pinhole of the world recedes at last (into eternity)
We'll mourn the loss of all we could not understand (into eternity)
But smile now, for everything you've ever loved (into eternity)
Is real, was here, and always will have come along (into eternity)
