Broken Arrow

Throat is deeply swollen, squeeze to swallow poison
Angels have left me here to die
Scratch at jagged gravel, so much more to travel
Tense my chest to hold the cry
Sorrow’s king has found me, ghostly fear surrounds me
Hope is draining from the wound
Reverberating, hollow echoes choose to follow
Every stumbling inch I move

The Perfect Friendship

Open up your mind so I can start floating in
Relinquish all your worries and forget about all your sin
For we will be an inch or two, sailing in teacups in skies of blue
Greeting all the lovers in the air
Cast away your diamonds and let all your hair blow free
Stretch your arms up high and see if you can reach as high as me
Pitch your anger to the ground, and let your chest produce a sound that
Tells the world that you don’t care
We’re singing to the little tiny children in the grass
Loving this moment, hoping that it will never pass
And it never will

When We Leave The Light
02:12
|

|
All the evil broke us, captured what we held so dear
Blistered hands hold your letter, taken past the ends of fear of blight
When we leave the light
Journey is as long as winter’s brutal, dreary days
But our faith will soar so high towards the distant rays of white
When we leave the light
Namaste, my dear friend. I can feel the change in you
You have learned acceptance. You’re in me and I’m in you tonight
When we leave the light

Captivity Undone
01:46
|
|||
|
I go to see you in the shady part of town
The headlights are glaring and windows stare me down
No easy access to the bedroom where you sleep
I haven’t seen you since you fell into the deep
What is this about? Hurry now! I’ll get you out
Harnesses and wires and machines that buzz and beep
Surround you and consume you and withhold you from your sleep
I disconnect them and I free you from the cage
Boiling with anger in a fit of dirty rage
My dear, they’ve done you wrong. Help me now to sing this song

Passive Agressive Fusion
02:15
|

|
Your silence screams. I hold no doubt
You’ll make your point and you don’t care how
Wish you that I’ll bow in praise
But I won’t break. I won’t wilt
Remain with me, the force I have built
Shape shifting and swift drifting ablaze
The cry is clear. The sound is rough
The love police have never had enough
Threshold of a test old abused
Unconditional love and hate have fused
