THE DEPTH, November 27, 2020.
SOMEWHERE
Brought into this world a wanderer
Treading untreaded waters
It’s hard to leave your hurt behind
But somewhere there’s a place
So wherever I go I’ll send a message out
Delivered through space and time
And you’ll know that I’ll be alright
‘Cause even losers find peace of mind
But there’s only so much time
Before you and I disappear
Fading through the night
Like dust in the wind
So wherever I go I’ll send a message out
Delivered through space and time
And you’ll know that I’ll be alright
If only losers find peace of mind
But there’s only so much time
Before you and I disappear
Fading through the night
Like dust in the wind
LIGHT
Something reaches your eyes
Light
Light bounces off the walls
Skin like milk
I’m drinking your light
Following your motion
Dripping light into an ocean
HEAVEN
If there’s a place called heaven
Why do we live below it?
It’s about time we discovered it
Heaven stop hiding
Life works in mysterious ways
We’re always changing
BLACK HOLE
A black hole among us
Sucking human life
Delivering a message
About our fragility
In a green garden
Covered in spider webs
The wings of a butterfly
Fighting for its existence
A landscape freezing
Slowing down time
Bringing our consciousness
To a screeching halt
A black hole
Speaking to our weakness
Pulling in every creature
Lacking in motion
EXPLORERS
Chance was a burden
So man made God
Doomed by mortality
Digging our way out
Explorers
Explorers
…or losers
In a future past
Crossing the border
To another life
Explorers
Explorers
Getting lost
trying to find our way
Filled with a longing
Blowing smoke in our faces
Explorers
Explorers
And if you were him, would you start it over again?
Just to see them grow, like plants
In the end, what he found was
that it’s the journey that counts
Explorers
Explorers
Explorers
Explorers
What’s at the end of the road?
Anxiety? Emptiness? Love? Belonging?
NEVER BE AFRAID, March 25, 2020.
Pre-sliced bread and peanut butter and my camera
Waves rolling just outside, the sun shifts to the east
In this land I find the world sings like a symphony
I’m close to nature, I’m friends with beasts
I'll never be afraid
Of the things that I should fear
I look over my shoulder, a transaction going down
Among the swallows swarming, a crack in paradise
I'll never be afraid
Of the things that I should fear
I'll never be afraid
Of the things that I should fear
As time goes by I find some things to hold on to
I wade out until I’m knee deep in the water
I'll never be afraid
Of the things that I should fear
I'll never be afraid
Of the things that I should fear
I'M LEAVING, WHO CARES? EP, October 25, 2016.
TWO LINE SOLUTION
I attended normalcy training
Graduated first in my class
Now I do well with sharp objects
I handle them with care
Looking for
Looking, looking for
A two line solution
To a nine dot problem
I embrace the chaos
Found a drug, beautiful
I see faces everywhere
On the surface I am a predator
Looking for
Looking, looking for
A two line solution
To a nine dot problem
Life reveals itself
In the rearview mirror
And I really do well
With sharp objects
Looking for
Looking, looking for
A two line solution
To a nine dot problem
Looking for
Looking, looking for
A two line solution
To a nine dot problem
And I am the problem
NO MORE DONALD DRAPER
No more Donald Draper
No more lies in the paper
No more stifled laughter
No thoughts hereafter
I saw them
I saw them
No more Donald Draper
No more lies in the paper
No more silent laughter
No thoughts hereafter
I saw them
I saw their eyes
I held their hearts
BUS
I hopped on a bus
I might as well have walked
In front of that bus
Or thrown myself off a sidewalk
I’m a slow talker
I learn from my mistakes
But I’m forever bound
To my past
I’m forever bound
Bound to you
I’m nowhere bound
But to you
‘Cause you are my past
And I live in the past
The now is infinitesimal
Too small
And I’m too short-sighted
And hooked on a feeling
Whatever feeling
I’m feeling whatever
It’s now or never
Don’t want to be dying forever
I'M LEAVING, WHO CARES?
Was it lies, was it only lies?
Was it I, was it only I?
I really felt
I’m leaving, who cares?
I’m leaving, who cares?
But I really felt
DECADE IN THE SHADE, November 27, 2015.
SUN IS BURNING
The sun is burning
Burning in my head
Always burning
Burning in my head
Leaves are rustling
Rustling in my ears
Always rustling
Rustling in my ears
Time is wasted
Running from the past
Always wasted
Running from the past
The moon is falling
Falling to the ground
Always falling
Landing safe and sound
A bridge is reaching
Reaching for the shore
Always reaching
Reaching for the shore
The nails are rusting
Rusting in my walls
Slowly rusting
My wall's about to fall
The beast is scratching
Scratching at my door
Always scratching
Scratching at my door
The beast will find me
Hiding my bed
Always find me
Hiding in my bed
TONIGHT
We've all been
Where we all wanna be
Yeah, we've all been
And we've all seen
What we all wanna see
Yeah, we've all seen
And we all know
What we all wanna know
Yeah, we all know
I'm waiting for tonight
Let's all go tonight
Let's all go tonight
Let's all go tonight
We all feel
What we all wanna feel
Yeah, we've all felt
And we all know
What we don't wanna know
Yeah, we all know
I'm waiting for tonight
Let's all go tonight
Let's all go tonight
Let's all go tonight
Tonight, let's all go tonight
Let's all go tonight
Let's all go tonight
Let's all go tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
THE CITY OF YOU
Nothing more to see
Nothing to be found
They've seen it all
A disharmonic dream
Choking on the clash of culture
They can't get enough of you
You're falling apart
At every single seam
But you rebuild yourself
In the city of you
In the city of you
You know I've seen it all in you
Coming home tonight
Picking up the pieces of a life
The air filled with echoes
You're followed by your friends
Standing in the shadow young and cold
They know that you could be the one
Because they've seen it all in you
In the city of you
In the city of you (we've seen it all in you)
In the city of you
In the city of you
You know I've seen it all, and
You find it hard to find yourself
It's hard for you to find yourself
And all the things you say that you wanna do
And all the things you said they were meant for you
You left them at home but now they're coming back to you
Yeah, now they're coming back to you
In the city of you
In the city of you (we've seen it all in you)
In the city of you
In the city of you
You know I've seen it all in you
You know I've seen it all in you
You know I've seen it all in you
We know we've seen it all in you
TV PEOPLE
Sit back and watch the show
We made it just for you
Just to entertain you
Just to sell you
We believe there are
Perhaps a child or two
In the bunker you call home
The bunker where you live
The light is never on
The TV always is
Summer came and put an end to what we saw
At least that's what we thought
At least that's what we thought
In the meantime, children laughed and played outside
Bringing life to my backyard
They weren't the only ones
The light is never on
The TV always is
The light is never on
The TV always is
So sit back, enjoy the rest of the show
Enjoy the rest of your life
In the dark
Sit back, enjoy the rest of the show
Enjoy the rest of your life
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
ALL IS BEAUTIFUL
Common life
Common life
All is beautiful
Common life
All is beautiful
Common life
Common life
All is beautiful
Come alive
All is beautiful
LOVESEXGODANDDEATH
Love and sex and god and death
Love and sex and god and death
Oh, what can I say?
What can I do?
It's all been done
Oh, it's getting weirder
What shall I write my song about?
I have an idea
Love and sex and god and death
Love and sex and god and death
Love and sex and god and death
Love and sex and god and death
Oh, it's all around you
If you seek then you will find
Oh, oh
I have an idea
Love and sex and god and death
Love and sex and god and death
Love and sex and god and death
Love and sex and god and death
And drugs
BLACK-WINGED ANGEL
I saw your face
I couldn't lie
Black-winged angel spiralling down
Jagged clouds opened up the sky
She looked at me
I made her smile
I was drowning
Black-winged angel floating above
Eat, drink, sleep, dance, fuck
Say what's on your mind
Soldier of your time
Please don't leave me
She pulled me out
Said "you're all right
Time and truth bends
And nothing else you need to know my friend"
I had to speak
She'd come so close
Ambassador of mendacities
Reaching out for something in the night
Eat, drink, sleep, dance, fuck
Say what's on your mind
Soldier of your time
Say what's on your mind
Soldier of your time
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
FALLING FROM A STAR
Was it something we said
That made you wanna disappear?
Everything that you put us through
Like we wouldn't get hurt
I wish that we could confront you
I wish that we could
I wish that we could keep waiting
Until everything was perfectly clear
Darkness thrived in your soul
And fear abounded in your heart
Weakness bore through your mind like a rusty nail
Infecting all that there was
I wish that we could confront you
I wish that we could
Pretend like it never happened
And that everything...
Wait, hold on
You're falling from a star tonight
Don't, don't go
It's gonna be a long cold night
When you're gone
As you're drifting away
Unmoved by feelings of guilt
Concealing unspoken words we will never hear
On a path of endless decay
I wish that we could confront you
I wish that we could
Find hope in a new dimension
And everything...
Wait, hold on
You're falling from a star tonight
Don't, don't go
It's gonna be a long cold night
When you're gone
JE NIE MA SOLITUDE (lyrics by Julia Jonas)
Quelque chose me manque toujours
Ca me poursuit sans relâche
On me dit ça passera avec le temps
Il y a un vide en moi, je le sens
Il y a un vide en moi qui me vole tout ce qui me reste
de vie et de bonheur
Je n'étais pas supposée rester dans ce train
qui ne s'arrêtera jamais
Je nie mon existence
Je nie ma solitude
Qui me prend d’ou je n’appartiens
Qui me prend d’ou elle ne devrais pas
Je nie mon existence
Je nie ma solitude
Elle me prend d’ou je n’appartiens
Elle me prend d’ou elle ne devrais pas
Je pense souvent a un beau jour
Mes possibilités aussi
Mes rêves vont me revenir
Bien vite
Je n'étais pas supposée rester dans ce train
qui ne s'arrêtera jamais
Je nie mon existence
Je nie ma solitude
Qui me prend d’ou je n’appartiens
Qui me prend d’ou elle ne devrais pas
Je nie mon existence
Je nie ma solitude
Elle me prend d’ou je n’appartiens
Elle me prend d’ou elle ne devrais pas
AGENT COOPER (instrumental)
SEVEN HOURS
My mind is wandering
To the great Antarctica
And to nature's wonders
And all across the universe
All across the universe
I need uncontrollable
Give me great that makes me small
And take me out into the unknown
'Cause heaven knows what I could do
Heaven knows what I could do
I'm reaching out
For a feeling
Strong as the beginning
And as strong as Rufus
Strong as Lennon singing
"All we have is love, and it's all"
Seven hours to restart
To get a little rest, get rid of everything
Try not to think of
Green lights and open roads
Green lights and open roads
I took your hand but I was drugged
And dreaming, probably the best
and worst thing that I could've done
But I will get away with this
Yes I will get away with this
I'm reaching out
For a feeling
Strong as the beginning
And as strong as Rufus
Strong as Lennon singing
"All we have is love, and it's all"
When he's almost there
Can he turn himself around?
I'm reaching out
For a feeling
Strong as the beginning
And as strong as Rufus
Strong as Lennon singing
"All we have is love,
all we have is love,
all we have is love, and it's all"
I DREAMT...
I dreamt that I was on a star
High above
I dreamt that I was there alone
Fading out
I set the time on my alarm
My burning clock
I left behind an empty shell
A silent man
But you came
And you gave
And all you gave was all your aching love for all of me
Yeah, and you said
Yeah, you begged
That I would hide no more upon no star away from you
From you
The thought of leaving made me weak
You should’ve seen
The stars were shining all for me
Their light healed
But you came
And you gave
And all you gave was all your aching love for all of me
Yeah, and you said
Yeah, you begged
That I would hide no more upon no star away from you
Away from you
If you have died
You can speak through me
My eyes will make you see
My hands will feel for thee
Yeah, you came
And you gave
Your aching love was strong enough to lead me home, to make me whole
And you said
What you did
That I would live again through you, your eyes would make me see
And your hands
Would feel
For me
