I said tara to the alluring azure
Covered by the glow of man and his thirst
As the gul flies to the grove
I’d barely have to wait at all
I smelled comfort maybe Lenore
And a drug laced in her hair
Something I’d never had before
And I’ll never have again
How many days have eluded since then?
Forever sinking in a pit
I tilt my head up to the circle in the sky
And I see she’s over it
How many days have eluded me since then?
I’m always torturing myself
I heard the bells ring as she threw away a herb
And the box lives on my shelf

Blue Stone

Rolling globes and a thawing of a mindset
Diving down to erode the lines in cold blue stone
The high spring tide you know is set to come
And dilute the life you made for yourself
And so you want an answer
But their not giving them away
Freedom is overrun with cancer
And all that’s left of you is a shell
Some kid whispered sweetly to you in the dead of night
You melt into his arms, feel constriction and all the hope
So haul out the banners, balloons and the conductor to the brass band
Your heart can’t tell a lie like it used to
And so you want an answer
But their not giving them away
Freedom is overrun with cancer
Fall away from the braided ties
And the fear that’s always inside me
Fall away and we might reconcile tonight

Dark Wave

It’s a funny flaky feeling I know all too well
See the ice sheets form around your eyes
Bathe in the hollowness inside
Full of wasted time
And you feel like you wanna go and drown
Go and drown
There’s a dark wave shifting in the deep
Coming up to breathe
Feeding on whichever wolf is weak
Find the knack to the taming of the beast
And you’ll reap reward
See the ice sheets melting from your eyes
Drain all the colours from your mind
Through an open door
Still feel like you wanna go and drown
Go and drown
Go and drown
Go and drown
Go and drown

Behind the back of this stirring water
Far away out of your mind and out of sight
Would you watch the world burn over again?
Too many lovely lives for us all to live
My poor mother can't do it all
The power in unyielding hands
Swollen hearts blackened by fuel
In the city hailing light
Overcame denial of the truth
Only you can wake yourself from dreams
Only you can save the world
In the city tears in rain
Overheard by only a few in the fog
Only you deny what's plain in sight
Only you can save the world
Only you can save the world
Only you can save our world
Only you can save the world
Only you can save the world
