Gilded Kingdoms

I, I can feel behind the moon I can reach into the night
Come back with colors you never knew were there
I, I can hear beyond the sea I can listen through the waves
Return with secrets hidden on ocean air
But somehow I’m expected to apologize for how I am
Expected to make changes to my outlook and demeanor
I, I can stand beneath the sun Drinking in the desert heat
Flowing oasis glowing of golden sand
I, I can rule beneath the trees Order an empire of ivy and leaves
Compose a jungle with a single command
But somehow I’m expected to apologize for how I am
Expected to make changes to my outlook and demeanor
A pensive mind could turn the hearts of kings to reconsider
Still you twiddle clumsy thumbs and lust the grass that’s always greener
I, I can taste the morning dew, Know if the day will begin anew
Speak to the rain and tell it to feed the soil
I have a universe in my head
Kingdoms awoken from words I’ve said
Gilded in tea leaves and aluminum foil

Spinning, floating weightlessly Drifting into space
Lost in time, endlessly Gone without a trace
Let’s begin Just breathe in And breathe out
In the quiet, loud and clear Echoes from the past
Whisper gently in your year Nothing’s meant to last
Just be still You won’t feel any Pain
Have no fear Not a tear will remain
Wasted hours when they're through Won't come back again
Everything you say or do Places that you've been
Time will tell Don't you dwell, don't you doubt
This is when you breathe in and breathe out

Unraveling

Push me over the edge I want to know if I can take it
Looking over the ledge I've forgotten that carefree feeling
Wanting to be in bloom When what I need is to be broken
I've been so out of tune Fixated on healing, when
All is here, none is now, All is here, none is now
Lifelines across timelines
They cross over, out of sequence
I'll find which is mine, I'm
Out of options, held in secrets
Traveling through all that’s unraveling
Staring into the dark I want to know if I can see it
Always missing the mark Never reaching the ceiling
Smoke is shading the course Mirrors hide the things that could be
But I'm kept by a force That sends me reeling
All is here, none is now
What once was good burns somehow
Cords were cut, still they hold
Hold me up through all that unfolds
See the edge, past regrets
Slow in step, quickened breaths
But I'll find which is mine
When all is here, none is now

Fight or Flight
04:25
|
|||
|
Consonance, dissonant
Enduring affair
Probing fate, fearfully
Wound-licking remedies
Misery turned despair
Loftiness, forlorn care
The native tongue
Sleepless resting
One known reprieve
Sunken ears fail to cork my fears
Peered deep into the depths
Unfettered tears clearly framed my enemy
Self-loathing, the mind staring back in time
Drunken recall
Empty the nights
Fumbling blind, fight or flight, I fly
And should push come to shove
I’ll sprout wings
Gale force winds, my enemy
Wild gloating became sullen
Just a game

Don't Explain
04:36

Hush now, don’t explain
Just say you’ll remain
I’m glad you’re back, but don’t explain
Quiet, don’t explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick, don’t explain
You know that I love you and that love endures
All my thoughts are of you, for I am so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter, ‘cause I know you cheat
Right or wrong don’t matter when you’re with me, sweet
Quiet, don’t explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick, don’t explain
Hush now, don’t explain
You’re my joy and you’re my pain
My life is yours, love
Don’t explain

Free Your Mind
04:58
|
|||
|
Trickling through silence
Dissipating through the ground
It sinks into the hidden thoughts, into the cracks
And heals the black
Notice your grip slipping
Fall into the gentle rush
Don’t move against the current; bend with every swell
And lose yourself
Feel the worry running off your shoulders
Down your spine
Let the river wash you, let it liberate your mind
Free your mind
Lean into transforming
Lean into the ancient lull
Let instinct guide you through the tranquility
Put your soul at ease

On Green Dolphin Street
03:53
|
|||
|
Others one fateful day
Came down planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting that left me cold and sweating
And through these moments apart
Memories, haunting my heart
When I recall the things I found on
Couldn’t touch the ground
On Green Dolphin Street
