I found a place where there is water blue I speak in tongues beneath the foreign moon My frail and fragile form floats away I see strange women as my toes they curl I sing a whispered song our spirits swirl I carelessly keep forgetting what is real And it’s all that I can think It’s all that I can know It’s all that I am, all I am It’s all I am I see a web and it is crimson red The lions on the beach play in my head A scarred old man sleeps today I write it down, I write down every thought In time I will be an oneironaut I carelessly keep forgetting what is real It’s all that I can think It’s all that I can know It’s all that I am, all I am It’s all I am

Golden God 05:41
I used to think you were a golden god I once thought you were the moon You were ten feet tall and within your palm You held my world inside your hand I dreamed to touch the sky you walked upon I dreamed to feel your boldest blues You were all I had, you were all I had It was all, it was all for you Then I found out all my heroes are human All my heroes are human too By the window you stood statuesque and still With a cold, cold stare I never dared to say a word Sometimes you’d raise your hand but it would never fall It would never fall upon my head A floating fiery spirit with your eyes a-burning wild You would weave wonderful words into fantastic fairy tales And I would follow you to me it all was true I believed, I believed Then I found out all my heroes are human All my heroes are human too I feel you in my head You were scared You were scarred You were all I had And I’ll be there soon with you And it’s all in good time The time is right now

A man wakes in the morning sounds of static start to hiss He fingers through newspapers as the weatherman predicts He smokes on the car ride flicks a cherry to the wind He’s checking his mirrors as another day begins At work he plugs his ears so he can drown out the machines As his body labors tactfully his mind begins to dream Then he turns off the real world and it all just disappears Distractions are the key to living life that’s free of fear It makes him forget… The bell tolls at three thirty shakes his head and wakes again Ill felt goodbyes flood the floor from fellow men He stares straight in traffic on the radio his friends He’s checking his mirrors as another day ends At home an empty chair has been waiting longingly for him The fabric like a lover touch he falls and then sinks in He turns on the TV and it all just disappears Distractions are the key to living life that’s free of fear It makes him forget… Awaken from his slumber by newscasters telling tales He stays up to watch the televangelist make sales Turns off the TV silence finally fills the air He stops for a moment sheds a solitary tear Alone in his room at the end of his bed He watches shadows shift and silently begin to spread He stares at the ceiling and it all just disappears Tomorrow holds the key to living life that’s free of fear It makes him forget…

I once found a broken bridge By the old Erie Canal It was cold beneath my toes I jumped off the edge one night I was scared of the water below It was so dark and cold I once had a photograph A mosaic above my bed It was black and white with a rose I believe every word that was spelled In the small square stones In the small sacred stones

The River 04:14
I want to go down to the river I’m going to sleep and I’m going to dream And maybe I’ll stay down there forever And listen as the water weeps with me I’m going to kneel down by the water I’ll wash my skin and then I’ll take a drink And maybe I’ll stay down there forever And listen as the water speaks to me

Sisyphus 10:14
If you accept who you are Things will never change If you reject who you were Things will never be the same If you’re content with the life you lead Then you’ll be halfway there And if you stop moving forward You don’t have to be scared And if you keep on pushing towards the top Then you bring on the burden of the stone of Sisyphus Keep on pushing on If you don’t take a risk Then you risk running out of time If the fear is too much now Then just wait until you get to the end of this line If you become who you want to become You’re not even halfway there And if you feel like you’ve reached the summit Then it’s time to be scared And if you keep on pushing towards the top You bring on the burden of the stone of Sisyphus Keep on pushing on

When I was an altar boy I never doubted anything Now that I’m and older boy I doubt everything I am skeptical I am skeptical I am skeptical I once dreamed with peacock eyes The world revolved around my bed I slowly, slowly, slowly sigh I can’t remember anything It was magical It was magical It was magical Dreaming of the skies I watch the moon Dreaming of the tides I watch the ships pass wondrously Once I was an angry boy I couldn’t handle anything Touch me and ignite my voice I’ll tell you everything It’s a spectacle It’s a spectacle It’s a spectacle Dreaming of the skies I watch the moon Dreaming of the tides I watch the ships pass wondrously

The Dormouse 05:57
Oh Alice Oh how I pity your tears And this world is very curious And nothing is ever clear Oh Alice Oh how I envy your tears And this world is very troubling And nothing is ever clear And for some smiles remain Some come late, some insane It’s in the numbers for the cards But the gardens where we are And for some time has stopped Some speak riddles, some do not Like an echo all repeats Like the dormouse all must sleep Oh Alice Swimming in your pools of tears And this world is very wondrous And nothing is ever clear Oh Alice Drowning in your pools of tears And this world is very tiring And nothing is ever real And for some they will laugh Some will try to cut you in half Through the window you may see People high on Mercury Ten to six, six to ten Time for tea yet again Like an echo all repeats Like the dormouse all must sleep
