Undone

Where the shoreline breaks
That’s where I’ll make to stay
Counting from one to three
That’s not a part that I can play

Take off and find a way
My intentions wear a crown
Some nights I’ve forgotten
But others still hang around

I had a chance for one dream
It’s not a path for me to run
I’ll cheer for you from afar
We will always be undone

Dodging umbrellas like jellyfish in the sea
I’ll give you the hat that protected me
This morning has something to say
Would you read it while I leave

Once I fell into a lake
But I pulled the plug to be found
She made the sound that lets me sleep
To love again don’t forget me

I had a chance for one dream
It’s not a path for me to run
I’ll cheer for you from afar
We will always be undone

Second Tries

You’ve changed your mind
It’s time to change the game
But as long as dices roll
The chance remains
The road is long
And no one guides the way
My dreams are small
But they’re too big to fade
My aspiration to hold on
Has bled me dry
And left me doomed
To watch it pass me by
I’m part of the incessant wheel
Of second tries
And everyday begins
With waiting for the night

Even though futility
Can make a happy man
The boulder bearing down at me
Is more than I can stand
More than I can stand

In certain ways
I’ve tried to start again
Though every way
Turned out to be the same
So I’m calling out for purpose
In the same old scene
I wade through muddy waters
In the same old dream
My head is spinning around
The feelings that I get while
Wondering about my masters
That just wanna see a sad guy
I’m feeling blue
But my bones are white
I’m cherishing the day
In the darkest night
But I’m cursing the gods
For leaving me alone
They’re gone, gone for good

Even though futility
Can make a happy man
The boulder bearing down at me
Is more than I can stand
More than I can stand

Falling Into Place

Brighter than the light
You outshined the sun
Golden ribbons twined
Around my head
Are falling into place
They are falling into place

The siren turns oblivious
The queen of hearts to stone
She offers candid promises
In serenade and song
Making me feel warm
Making me feel warm

Westwood

And then I walked across the room
And I think I saw a smile
A smile, a smile it wasn’t mine
And like a pigeon in the cockpit
I fly with lights flashing red
I’m in the sky smiling at the things you once said

The pavement seems smooth
Its warming reign
The pavement seems smooth
Its warming reign

And on the wall I see a painting
With trees in yellow and red
The sky is blue, but its changing soon its the Westwood
So here I am
And I’m still smiling at your face
Your face, your face, hell’s picked up the trace

The pavement seems smooth
Its warming reign
The pavement seems smooth
Its warming reign

Blue Clowns Parades Pass

I am still awake
Waiting for the sun to rise
To compose a new symphony
To paint the sky

The pavement seems smooth
Its warming reign under me
And houses of cards
Fade into the dawning light

Holler clowns that is I think its not me
I was young just yesterday
Now tell me what you want me to be
Holler clowns that is I think its not me
I was young just yesterday
Now tell me what you want me to be

The paint is ready
The orchestra tuned in
Being someone won’t take long
Once they commence
Once they begin

A journey far from home
Left behind for unknown
Mountains will blast
Blue clowns parades pass

I’ll Be Fine

I know I’ll make it
With a cast away smile
Not far down
I’ll see where Ill be
A point in the void
But its the lines that count

Howling ghosts reappearing
In the silence of what its all about
For every note that sounds wrong
I’ve found a tune to move on
And Ill be fine

Right outside a world
I had left for mine
I’ve found the time to survive
Dancing with the moon
I’ll be fine

Looking for a next song
With the right disguise
Noone is bad at saying hi
Being there is all
So opposite your fright

Its up for decides
Its up for my time
But I beat a wolf at the guessing game
The night is darkest before dawn
And makes it what its supposed to be
I’ll be fine

Right outside a world
I had left for mine
I’ve found the time to survive
Dancing with the moon
I’ll be fine

Lonely Fields

Those fireflies in my head
They stampede over lonely fields
Just to say I love that I love you the same
So I bark at the moon

I remember the walks
And the silent talks
Filled with fiery looks
Years from now
We might see the snow melt with regret
Over side walks of us
The fire is out my darling
Are you going to bed?

Sunrise, escape
Through the woods
Wipe away the trace
A fool I was
But my promises
Still remain the same

Your way, my way
Walk near me
Walk beside me
Will you stay in my head?
Hold my hands until night breaks into day

Tomorrow’s headaches
Sinful sands sunset runaway plans
Hold it through the looking glass
But there is nothing to keep

Those fireflies in my head
They stampede over lonely fields

Sunrise, escape
Through the woods
Wipe away the trace
A fool I was
But my promises
Still remain the same

Utopia At Last

I took the window downAs I climbed insideA distant pouring rainHung loosely on my mind

I stepped into the glassAnd got up on my feetI shook the hand ofOld Mephistopheles

From the arrival of the guardsYou were on his sideYou learned to wagerLike the soulless sailors

Into the field of loving heartsYou threw your grenadeAching to explode

For whoever made the callOf emergencyYou had a name onThe bullet in your fake gun

You yearned to declare warWith those who wouldn’t careFor all the things you know

I took the mirror downThough I never meant to hideWhen vision is at stakeDon’t ever trust your eyes

My house was made of cardsBut the joker up my sleeveSlowly stole awayI thought he smiled at meI thought he smiled at me

The sailors set their ship ablazeAnd washed themselves ashoreA symptom of their fragile stateWhere safety is a bore

At the center of it allYou crafted hurricanesTo blow away thoseSelf-deceiving wailers

In the field of loving heartsYou immersed your soulThe cheerful crowd was aching forUtopia at Last

12 51

Above water we all look the sameBut we breathe in a different pace

Through cracks in the window we were watching the stageBut the loss of our wins made the current sway

Cold break the wavesOn the vows made to guard our namesAiming for a luke-warm dream

Cold break the wavesOn the vows made to guard our namesHere’s one for the roadAnd one for me

A kingdom to forgetBut we ate a piece for teaNo second chance regretAnd we sneak so carelessly

So long to those picturesSo long to our friendsA dance with the creaturesIn light of times spentIn light of times spent

Cold break the wavesOn the vows made to guard our namesAiming for a luke-warm dream

Cold break the wavesOn the vows made to guard our namesHere’s one for the roadAnd one for

Windows & Boxes

And how the windows open wide
Though they let noone inside
And the countless numbers of colorless people
Like an unfinished still life of the picturesque street

The box it collapses in the vacuum-like silence
And the numbers are pressed for their remaining lives
Then back comes some self as the doors open wide
To well studied movements it seems

And all of the men and women
In the many boxes lost in love
Restraining the speeches in their closets
And there on the window the rain passionately kisses

They dance in line for the remaining hours
Suddenly he awakes in an occupied mirror
And in stares a happy faced moon
He sees a man with his head on too straight and too soon

And the dreams he had that were washed away
Will wash again through the circuits of his brain
And they sing to him with a silent song
Of numerous times long gone

Of when he tried to laugh and tried to cry
And he tried, he tried to sing

What The Cat?!

Holding up the gaslight
Wondering what the cat dragged in
So far only mice and men
So tell me how do you fit in

I kissed your lips so they wont dry
A taste of life I cant describe
We broke the bread to last all day
And painted words you can not say

Like the break of day is forged at dusk
Yes we have to because we must
Ok kid well go that way then
I wanted a smile, but you wanted a friend

In between those fishy lines
Young and wild with a hint of sea
Casting shadows I can’t decline
Your faults they never bothered me

Fear that I won’t find my way back
Fear my thoughts are on wrong tracks
Caught in a landslide theres nothing left to see
Digging it out would take horses and weeks

Like the break of day is forged at dusk
Yes we have to because we must
Ok kid well go that way then
I wanted a smile, but you wanted a friend
Ok kid well go that way then
I wanted a smile, but you wanted a friend

Scarlet Shadings

Recollections seem to be inane
They take me in
And turn me down
Those memories seem to feel no shame
They come along
And wear me out
The wind sounds plaintive
When willows petrify
My will is ageless
Behind those pallid eyes
Our silent traffic on its silver tray
It served me well
Some other time
Now putrid passion is coming to reclaim
The empty floors
Of my mind
And I can’t face it
The walls have vaporized
My mouth is tasteless
I’m bound to scrutinize those
Scarlet Shadings
Scarlet Shadings
Scarlet Shadings
Scarlet Shadings
