Rattle In Your Chest So, it goes, each day Held back, but on display A prize leashed, your fingers creeping And they hold, and they close Around my neck Drumming beats of slights on repeat Counted later, before sleep Not sheep but fists So, it goes, each every day You're held back, but put on display Counting scars, afraid Held back, but on display Until today I am free, I am an army My eyes are clear, the veil is torn You are so small You need me to breathe I'm not your lungs, Without me you die, drowning So, it goes, each every day You're held back, but put on display Hear that sound I'm the rattle in your chest I am the spade, tossing dirt on your grave Hear the rattle in your chest You need me to breathe You’ll die drowning Tossing dirt on your grave Counting scars, afraid Held back, until today Until today Until today Until today This is your grave

One Spark 03:41
One Spark The golden bowl is cracked The calvary’s not coming Wasted in night No new day dawning The white hats are dead Grown grey with waiting Lost in memory They can't save you Each drop of rain Dreams of the flood A feather’s reach The sky above A single heartbeat moves the blood In every breath A wind will rage In every stone A mountain waits Never separate bound by fate One spark becomes all flames Stand still Others will drive you Down darker paths Ending in nothing A universe Grows in a moment Waiting, wanting Give it new life Each drop of rain Dreams of the flood A feather’s reach The sky above A single heartbeat moves the blood In every breath A wind will rage In every stone A mountain waits Never separate bound by fate In every breath A wind will rage In every stone A mountain waits Never separate bound by fate One spark becomes all flames Each drop of rain Dreams of the flood A feather’s reach The sky above A single heartbeat moves the blood In every breath A wind will rage In every stone A mountain waits Never separate bound by fate One spark becomes all flames Becomes all flames One spark becomes all flames

As Long As Earth Meets Sky No one knows dear Where the story ends How many dragons slain Or if the hero lied Rudderless we drift And float upon the black seas We roll with all our gold turned to brass Love’s heyday long but passed Hold fast Your journey's just begun The universe will know All that you've said and done A day will come When wood and sail are gone And I will fall away Untethered No need to fear As long as earth meets sky I will surround you With starlight Hold fast Your journey's just begun The universe will know All that you've said and done Tales they'll tell Songs sung by lesser men Huddled by weaker lights While you are burning bright No one knows dear Where the story ends And through it all dear My heart will guide your hand Beating within your breath A charm against all death No one knows dear Where the story ends No one knows

Follow Me Down Waiting eyes in yellow I told you twice you see Waiting eyes in yellow I fly high, believe Oh, follow me down Animals in league Oh, follow me down Bleeding time between Hearts and minds lay fallow Waiting for a seed What will grow is quiet Full of sighs and teeth oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh Oh, follow me down Animals in league Oh, follow me down Bleeding time between Follow me down Follow me down

The Origin 03:24
The Origin When did this begin, where's the origin Are you lost here too? Sometimes, I gather what is mine It's all slipping away Where did this begin, when's the origin Can we see it through? Sometimes, as we climb We shimmer and we burn. Four winds blow in this field of gold I wait, overcome Loops in constant without shame Are you certain of their names Four winds blow in this field of gold I wait for an understanding Loops in constant without shame Ending only to begin Where did it all begin? When did things begin? In the past? In the future? Who can say where it began? Will we ever be capable of knowing the origin of all things? Or is there still an origin before that? And before that? And before that? Do beginning and end even exist? Or is it all connected in an endless loop? And one "beginning" and "end" just different words for one and the same moment?

Unsettled 03:31
Unsettled False faces Chatter in the dark Impatient Waiting for a spark Uncertain Living with the lies A question Begging for some quiet Pharaoh at rest She is watching Killing silence Hail to the empress She is shining Softly violent Unsettled Living with the grief A yearning For some small relief Painful Something new grows Distorted Time to let it show Pharaoh at rest She is watching Killing silence Hail to the empress She is shining Softly violent False faces Chatter in the dark Impatient Waiting for a spark Uncertain Living with the lies A question Begging for some quiet Living with the grief Need some small relief Something new grows Time to let it show

Silent Sailor Falling further north in a dream I took your hand The constant stars Polaris chained She moves and breathes Remains unchanged Fixed and firm here on Earth Pinned to land Inconstant heart love is feigned Dies and dreams Red in the whites of your eyes Here in the fields of the green skies Silent sailor Timeless stranger Black is the color you keep Here in the depths of your lost sleep Passing danger Danger Wheeling overhead heaven shakes On my command The stars align Spell your name Shine seethe Light my way Without a voice here on Earth Fading fast Worlds collide memory fades Dust and screams Red in the whites of your eyes Here in the fields of the green skies Silent sailor Timeless stranger Black is the color you keep Here in the depths of your lost sleep Passing danger Red in the whites of your eyes Here in the fields of the green skies Silent sailor Timeless stranger Once I had hope bittersweet Now I'm here chained in the dark dreams Silent stranger Violent stranger Silent stranger Violent stranger

Tied Up In You So vicious Hidden Tied up in you Affliction Addiction This heart is bruised No poetry Not for me I prefer the truth Secret self Takes control You'll follow too Two of a kind We're blind To our damnation Wait For a sign To lift and guide us No one knows the secret tides That writhe In our bloodstreams Look for my face in the crowd And drown

Dear Reader Dear Reader To anyone it might concern I found the bleeder Cauterized it with a sterile burn It stopped beating This chapter's coming to an end But keep reading There's a question that I must amend Is there nothing I can say To make you come around my way Dear reader The coffin and the killing jar A box of cedar The size of a human heart So dear reader Then if there's nothing that I've overlooked Then I'll leave her Between the pages of this book Is there nothing that I can do You know I'm still in love with you Is there nothing I can say To make you come around my way Is there nothing that I could do You know I'm still in love with you Dear reader This is my final scrawl The make believers Will die unhappily after all

Latency 03:26
Latency Lace on long limbs And veiled eyes Gloves cover hands Nameless, shameless Reddest sweet lips Serpents lie Widest of smile Uncharted, enchanting The guts and the glory Rub and shame These slippery kisses Not for me, not me Ivory skin Gemstone eyes Bluest deep sea Languid, decanted Flickering flame Dance for me Light all my way Changing, enraging The guts and the glory Rub and shame These slippery kisses Not for me, not me It's liquid and lovely Curse and blame Just drip on my darling Not for me, not me Lace on limbs Veiled eyes Gloves cover hands Not for me, no not for me Reddest lips Serpents lie Widest of smile Not for me, no not for me
