If you remember the sun and the thought of daily bread...
If you remember history,
Remember, it's all in your head.
Life re-adapting, cleansing and decomposing...
Memories retained:
We're all that remains.

Crossed the Rockies in an old tin can,
I had nothing, no family, no friends.
The other side of a barren wasteland,
Crossed the Rockies in an old tin can.
In a world of nothing, I had it all:
An empty house and a bowling ball.
Spent my days in shopping malls,
In a world of nothing, I had it all.
Hold on for the morning light,
I hold on for dear life...
I'd settle for your ghost tonight,
I'd settle for your ghost...
I'd settle for the ghost of all the times we had in life;
I'd settle for a ghost of you.
When I reach the ocean, I'm going to lay it all down:
The thoughts I had but never wrote down;
The things I took from those who are gone,
When I reach the ocean, I'm going to lay it all down.
Hold on...

XYZ Years (2016)

Cry, a muted cry,
The shadows flicker then die.
In the bright, forgotten sun
Tears trickle and run
To the sea and to the shore -
Drowned away, drowned away...
The past knocks at the door.
Do freemen fly or do they sing
In this netherworld we seek?
The sky is clear, no birds around,
And the silence makes not a sound.
X, Y and Z
Years fly on by.
Genetic chromosome technology,
The path winds down indefinitely.
Signs, when the weather change, signs.
Ice and tundra again.
To the bright equator sun
It's time to run;
To the beach and to the shore -

In the Pines (2016)

Used to be nothing, once upon a time,
A small hollow in a thickening of pines.
Grandpa bought the land back in 1949,
Put up four walls around his wife and child.
And every summer from the time I was five,
I stayed with Grandpa at his place in the pines.
Sleeping under stars on the warmer nights,
Till Grandpa died sippin' on a Colt '45.
Dad said he'd sell the place but wouldn't set a price,
And I guess he never found anyone who'd buy
That broken down shack, a few ghosts in the pines,
And after Dad died, the place became mine.
When the world ended, I wasn't much surprised:
Things only last as long as the good Lord provides.
Like Grandpa's place, lost among the pines,
Things get built and fall down in time.
So, I made my way back to the hollow in the pines:
Four walls and a caved in roof and the snow falling fine.
And I stay up nights under stars' dimming light,
And I wonder what the end will look like this time.
Lights go out, then, one by one they come back on,
And on and on and on...

everglades and emerald greens
the memory of something that's long gone unseen
spanning miles across cities the silence is complete
where have they disappeared
tall spirals like trees
into the black hole of cement concrete
the cracked mirrors reflect
civilization's demise
no one seems to remember the city of the skies
and nothing like sunlight touches my face
|

It must have been all that concrete,
It must have protected them;
All that grey cement and mortar,
Like the ashen sky above the Pen'.
When the power stopped flowing;
When the power inside shifted,
The ammunition quickly spent,
All communication was lifted.
Across the wild countryside,
Across the wild that was no longer,
They rampaged, looted and hid -
All they found was hunger.
When the prisoners went free,
When the power inside shifted,
Four hundred and twenty faces
Saw a second chance was gifted.

Lost Time (2016)

Some say he never smiled, some say he smiled once
And that upon his deathbed as if glad to be done.
But I knew him better than Abraham knew his son,
The day the boy followed him to the top of the mountain.
Lost time, lost time -
Enough to fill the rest of our lives.
Some of you remember the world that came before,
The shadows that fell on your Mother's kitchen floor;
The voices of elders, soft and so assured,
Their grip still firm on the mantle of the world.
Lost time...
Some of you remember a symphony of sounds,
A pressing of flesh, a coil tightly wound;
But I had only ashes and the dimming stars above,
And he who lies before you, a dead man no one loved.
Some say he was cruel as the air we breathe,
The earth we walk and the poisonous sea;
But sometimes I remember a simple-minded sun
Which warms a face turned to the horizon.
Lost time...

I found acceptance, saw there was no alibi.
Had a few brief, brief moments to tell my loved ones goodbye.

Credo (2016)
04:24
|

|
Wake the other ninety percent and new landscapes we'll invent.
The World is bigger than the Earth, poets search to find its worth.
The Word is life and death and truth - with love, but in search of proof:
From a billion stars,
From newborn suns,
From above the trees -
Silver moon glow runs.
The gods and men and earth are one.
The universe, the mind, the soul are one.
Are one.
No separation.
One.

Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
