1000 Ways/Cyclical
So much to do today
I could plot out the course of my life in 1000 ways
Anyway
So much to think and say
I am infinitely lost like a needle in the hay
Anyway
I could invent the ways I spent a heart both young and free
All in due time Ill clear my mind and close my eyes to see
Its cyclical in each and every aspect
As the sun was born to fall into a casket
Days go as days go
I know

Spry

Spry
I don’t care for the weather
Even often inside
I wont wait to be patient
Until the moment arrives
I’ve felt the veins of the orchard
Current coursing and spry
Something shimmering lingers
The apples clutch on the eye
I won't drink from the well if all the well is all but dry
I will drink from the well if all the well is all but dry Im feeling spry
So many distinctive colors
Chromaticism connives
This one brims with persistence
This one wants to survive
This one cultivates peace now
This one conjures a fight
Wading down in a river
Current coursing and spry
I won't drink from the well if all the well is all but dry
I will drink from the well if all the well is all but dry Im feeling spry
I want to construct an orrery
To plot events in the sky
To find the root of the questions
Who what when where or why
I won't accept the familiar
I'll never work 9-5
Wading down in a river
Current coursing and spry
I won't drink from the well if all the well is all but dry
I will drink from the well if all the well is all but dry I'm feeling spry

In The Way It Calls You

In the Way It Calls You
Stagger through the rolling fog with quite a ways to go
For reasons you knew
In the way it calls you
Clambering up mountaintops past where each stream may flow
Is something for you
In the way it calls you
Cloak of lilac culminates in light of day
While you wander pondering what dreams you may
Meandering around each bend in hopes what might be found
A fountain of youth
In the way it calls you
The path may end and you may stand deprived of all you know
With all you went through
In the way it calls you
Cloak of lilac culminates in light of day
While you wander pondering what dreams you may
Stagger through the rolling fog with quite a ways to go
For reasons you knew
In the way it calls you

Rustle

Rustle
The world outside the door
Rustles silently
Laying on the floor
Lost entirely
Dusted windowsill
Settled absentee
Sifting softly still
Time won't wait if we both stop listening
Time it aches to fill what we’re missing in
Time won't wait if we both stop listening
Time it aches to fill what we’re missing in

Well Inside A Well
We’ve got a story about a story about a story
We could tell
It’s short importance but I’ll tell it if I tell it can you tell
We’re talking circles around ourselves yeah we are fine
Yea we are swell
Dust the meaning off the meaning off the meaning
Off the shelf
Derivative of all the feelings that we’re feeling
Have been felt
We’re feeling fine yea we are
We are swell
We’ll pay the rent on time just give us one more day
Repeat the storyline again and then we’ll say
We are swell
Walk the block on down the street across the yard beside the tombs
Haunt the haunting of the light of amplifiers through the moon
I want to sleepwalk just to wake up just to sleepwalk to that tune
To that tune
Today I woke up with a nosebleed I walked over to the sink
Felt the blood rush from my head as I started thinking what to think
Like a pendulum that’s going out of sync
Out of sync
We’ll pay the rent on time just give us one more day
Repeat the storyline again and then we’ll say
We are swell

Hitchhiker
Through the travels something’s caught
In the mind and in the heart
Hitchhiker in my shoes
You said I would get it out if I were you
Dawn casts on the floor
Before it breaks there’s something more
I’m gone and out the door
A journey calls from long before

Taxes

Taxes
I once equated every color that catches
The iris to matchless tone
Where I searched for some substance in absence
through habits to be alone
But then came cascades of trades for my jaded youth
I still can’t convey someway one day there came you
I was inundated by the tethering taxes of the moon as it waxes on
Felt the tip of my time on an axis like the sun as it chases dawn
But then came cascades of trades for my jaded youth
I still can’t convey someway one day there came you

Or So

Or So
Truth was something tantalizing
Falling on deaf ears
Convoluted contradictions caught up in those years
I know or so
60 cycles oscillating pulsing through the wall
Some common electricity is flowing through us all
I know or so
Age was told and tethered to the lines across the face
Wild worn and weathered it all seems to find its place
I know or so

When I Must Go On My Way

When I Must Go On My Way
When I must go on my way
I never know why but I know I can’t stay
In place
When I don’t know what to say
I open up my mouth but nothings escaped
