Of Course I Still Care
05:02
|

You see order and light
I see stars at night
Far, cold and dark
Between the fire
With no hand to hold me
I step onto the ice
I will hold on
Until I fall
Only
Flesh
And breath and nothing more
Still
This life
It is mine to give
When we all fail
My small beating heart
Can pump fire for you
Until it stops
Just the blink of an eye
We are born rise and die
But we live
that is enough
Only
Flesh
And breath and nothing more
Still
This life
It is mine to give
Now
It’s cold
And the waters rise
Still
Your life
Is beautiful to me
Though stars never know
Or measure your worth
I’ll carve it on me
Of course I still care

On these clear lines
life escapes
Silent structure
hardened grace
Break through binding
pavement rough
Find the cracks in
where we
live
Break through
this canvas
Chaos brings us
vibrant glow
winding through this
structured town
green veins flow through
red and white
let this warm heart
claim your
home
Break through
This canvas
Flow down this road
Golden with dirt
Feeding our streams
Violent flood
Grinding sinew
Broken vines
Water, pigment
Will grow life
Strangle concrete
Nature crawls
Swallow, explode
Down these
walls
Tear through
this canvas
Following through
Painted lines
These arteries
Feed our music
Follow down this
well worn path
a reminder
of our past
Plastic silence
Holds our breath
Every footstep
Will be our
Last
Tear down
this canvas

The Work Of Hands
05:12
|
|||
Running
over
to the
water tower
Miles of
wire
Growing
Overnight
Walls have formed
Make your other
Operating
With your silence
Failing
Weather
Breaks the
Barren earth
Pray for
clear skies
to erupt
in laughter
Don’t pretend
They will listen
to your pleading
Empty judgment
Escape the work of hands
Hold molten art
Bury your highway
Bury your heart
Recruit the works of man
Poison the wall
Silence the growth it feeds
Starve in clean halls
Angles
Broken
in the
landscape
Mile a
Minute
tearing
down your bridges
Violent motion
Breaks this border
Churning fire
Source unknown
Verse 2b:
Growing
tendrils
claw the
masonry
Rounding
edges
dulling all
your senses
Buried by the
Emerald carpet
Lost your breath
at the corner
Recruit the works of man
Poison the wall
Silence the growth it feeds
Starve in clean halls

The Bear
06:34
|

With shell and shot
You’ve come to talk
To whom does this Wood
Belong?
Sheath my claws?
Share a fence with you
And live?
You think my
Coat and claws
Perhaps,
Mean I’m dull?
I invite
You to war on me
And die
Come die with me
If I could Buy your death with mine
Would I?
If I could Buy your death with mine
Should I?
If I could Buy your death with mine
Would I?
If I could Buy your death with mine
Should I?
Let us see what
Slights we can bear
Or burn the World
To erase the scent of you?
Will you be satisfied
With this bribe?
Or will I make My last
Meal of you?
Tear your heart
With these hands
Or to pull
down your face
Sun is now
Find the glow
Grow the Blade
from this Hand
The last time
Breathe this air
let it free
lungs unclean
break the earth
without nails
We’ll consume
Clear blue sky
Break this bond
Silent space
Drift aside
Fragment whole
harbor mist
Flower gold
Shadow low
Cold is now

Succession

All surrounded
By three walls
One and only
Free way out
Bear me
Through this fire
Break me
Through this shell
Falling under
This red wool
Makes this mental
Image whole
Crush me
Underfoot
I will
Become many
As I sprout up
Tear to fragments
Bear me
Bear Me
Bear me Through this
Fire Let me live
Break through This wall
I become one whole
Ripen until
I break free
Break my essence
Force out life
Bear Me
Through this Fire
Break me
Through this shell
Fertilized
incandescence
Rich with life
energy
Crush me
Underfoot
I will
Become many
As I grow up
Feel the sun
Bear me
Bear Me
Bear me Through this
Fire Let me live
Break through This wall
I become one whole
Turn this March Wind
From Gentle to Strong
Bear me Across Waves
Germinate in foreign soil

Stars Blink
04:55

Finding
The lighthouse
Through this
Boiling storm
We feel
This movement
Follow through
This mountain
Clearing
Without course
Forward
Without a name
Tear through
Every path
To find
Another peak
When the Light breaks
Like Eyes had forgotten
The need for Reflection
A Fresh breath of air
Breathing
for water
Reaching
for air
I sense
a moment
pregnant
with fire
Tearing
through soil
no thought
unturned
Reveal
your clear skin
Split through
your head
When the Light breaks
Like Eyes had forgotten
The need for Reflection
A Fresh breath of air
stars in
half the sky
Death in
the other
Drop the
breaking mold
Jump through
Blinking stars
Then the light broke
The sky was clear
