eye like you




I'm discovering something new
this ocean blue
sparkling,deep

i'd like to wade through the water
catch a ride on the two waves
deep blue
crash into you

if the tide pulls me in
i'd be alright
because this ocean current has me
in a tight hold
feeling weightless

unplugged

it feels like there is a concert going on in my head
sound after sound after scream after jump
and then comes the encore
the loudest part of the event
going on in my mind
filling every empty space with noise
its never ending
a never ending song
a continuous repetition
playing over and over
this mind is weary
but i'm in control
over and over again
i have the remote
i'm shutting this place down

tonight

may angels play their harps
may that lulling music fill the air
so we have a sense of placidity
a belonging tonight
aren't they fed up with watching over us?
having responsibility and trust
may I play a harp
may my lulling music fill the air
so they get to rest
drift away tonight
those guiding lights
need to heal tonight

soundless



that bird's wings have been clipped
no longer can it fly away off into the horizon
instead it sits perched on a tree branch
singing a song
so sweet, so long
so broken, so...
hushed
...so lost
is the bird
singing a song no other bird can hear
as it cries out one last tune
prays for a witness
the bird forgets
that its wings are clipped
jumps out of that tree
the bird is free

don't drop your arms

highs and lows
with me you'll always find your way home
i'm the map traveling on your back
you know me like the back of your hand
take my hand into yours
let your fingers fill the empty spaces between mine
we'll go through highs and lows together
i'll be your high when you're low
i'll never be far behind
when you come out from your cache
i'll be here with open arms
to guide you home
and we'll take the scenic route

I can't think of things to write about anymore




bridges are made for crossing over an obsticle that is preventing you
from reaching the other side
bridges collapse
bridges rust
bridges bust
one bridge has caution signs
all over it
go through at your own risk
one car doesn't want to detour
certain bridges aren't meant to be crossed
fixed
mended
so drive back home
but don't turn off your headlights

ready..set...GO!

i'm turning my four ways off
because for now on i'm living in the fast lane
i'm not turning back
i'm not speeding up
i'm going my way or the highway
and i'm only hitting the breaks at red lights
because everyone needs to stop once in a while
or pull over to a gas station
build up the energy again
then go go go
many ways to go with these directions
if an obstacle gets in my view
i'll run it over
because for now on its my way or the highway
nothing can slow me down
