I can’t find the words to say Repetition is to blame Nothing ever feels the same And I just wanna stop
I know it’s good for my brain But man, it’s driving me insane Translate feelings, mostly pain A time for taking stock
Fuck these lines Fuck these rhymes Fuck, I’ve wasted all my time
I don’t know and I don’t care Why would you, an unheard prayer This thing called art I may forswear Eternal writer’s block
What’s the point, I’ll never know Think I should just let it go Worries dam my water flow Creating only schlock
Fuck these lines Fuck these rhymes Fuck, I’ve wasted all my time
Ancient golden god appears Running circles in my mind Without fail, scorching life In your love I so reside
Worship the sky Watch the sun die Worship the sky Watch the sun die
Feel your warmth upon my skin Your kiss upon my cheek A blissful fading gaze of woe Your presence growing bleak
Worship the sky Watch the sun die Worship the sky Watch the sun die
Take your final bow Your race is ever ran Through days and weeks and months and years You die to live again You die to live again
Sweet scent of heavy cedar Bathe the darkness of my mind Memories like rising bubbles Churning in the flow of time
I can be myself again In a world so wild and free A place before I’d been so burdened The River wound so peacefully
So saudade So saudade So saudade
Healing wounds I’ve so sustained Within your cool and damp embrace Your clacking rocks, skipping the stones To relearn ways I’ve since let go
Sparkle sunlight through the trees Caress my skin, put me at ease The siren song that is the wind The murmurs of my long-lost friend
So saudade So saudade So saudade
Straddle the rock Straddle the rock Straddle the rock and ride it home
Those who point the finger Telling right from wrong The high and mighty linger Reigning for far too long
Money-hungry gluttons Far beyond reproach Flaunt without reluctance As our deaths approach
When the leaders fail Who will light the way No more men for sale No more bribes today
Armies of officials Marching for their cause Drag the guiltless with them Into open jaws
Caring not for people Living for no creed Using cross and steeple To justify their greed
When the leaders fail Who will light the way No more men for sale No more bribes today
The desert’s silence held ancient whispers Cloaked in mystery Her words lit into me like fire Begging me to see I was wandering alone Within her warm embrace Her blackest nights of sparkling eyes And days of brutal hate At once I thought I felt her love Her breath against my cheek But sweetness turned to bitter ash As dust beneath my feet Her beauty and her siren song My heart she held so near Illusions of my desperate mind Consumed by hopeless fear Now I leave her to herself Her beauty still attacks For she has taken that from me Which I cannot get back
Breathing in Crack my mind Open wide up to the sky Let the universe flood in
Focusing Sharpening Connecting to the everything There is still respite to find
Suddenly I’m ten feet tall Bump the ceiling, room too small These five minutes last forever from inside
Peaceful calm Lubbing dub Aching heart can feel the love That has been so self-denied
Far afield Sense unreal I am it and it is me And my soul I finally free
Suddenly I’m ten feet tall Bump the ceiling, room too small These five minutes last forever from inside
Burdened by such guilt and woe Thoughts of pain are haunting so Heart of darkness starts to show In a grip as cold as snow
Trapped in fury down below To escape, I’d beg or borrow Left my conscience long ago One less piece of heavy cargo
I want to feel, I want to know I want to love, I want to grow
I want to feel, I want to know I want to love, I want to grow
Oh to be back in the flow How my soul is rendered fallow Life beats to a different tempo Accepting not my quid pro quo
Now I’ve reached the end, I know Watch the sunset getting low Think it’s time for me to go Yeah, now it’s time for me to go
Staring long into the night A tapestry so warm and bright To bathe yourself in such dead light Forgetting that which isn’t right
The briefest glimpse into your soul Could pull me from the darkest hole But you decry my self-control For your good favor, I cajole
And reaching out a hand so bold As if to grasp a love untold The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold A place once so magical now hurt to behold
