Away Too Long
03:59
|

|
Awaken my feet
alone I can weep
my insides come out
in hiding
If they knew who I was
They'd run away from me
Awaken my leaves
to suffer my pleas
Complaining breeds mass defection
If they knew who I was
They'd run away from me
The forest is safe
and silent to fell my tree
But out they spill, the ways that I went wrong
I've been gone too long
I don't remember how to sing this song
I've been gone too long
Awaken, repeat,
I can't be discrete
forever, I know
I'll stumble
When they know who I am
They'll run away from me
The forest is safe
and silent to fell my tree
I've been away too long - now they know

Take My Way

Folding
One more stop and I explode in
A finite rage without emotion
Ventilator oscillator one-stop shop
Take my way
Everything about it is another mistake
that I have to make
If I push today
Maybe I can make it to an empty place
I can fill with the other one's heart
Hoping
Currents change and I am open
All decision lost or stolen
Put it in the oven and return the next day
Take my way
Everything about it is another mistake
that I have to make
If I kill today
Maybe I can make it to an empty place
where my eyes are the only ones
Don't add to my plate
Where my eyes are the only ones

In a Room
03:20
|

|
Watch the sun discover walls, discover rooms, discover my arm
Pop pop pop shots that fire out alarm that wakes me up raw
All that I need is around me right now
Here's what you see when you look out my window at dawn
Go for the only escape
In for the way out
Never could imagine that I walk out that door and I thrive
Tick tick tick boxes on the list of things I do to survive
All that I need can be shipped to my door
Here's what you get when you look at my mind on the floor
Go for the only escape
Go for the only way out, way out of here
Go for the only escape
In for the way out
Oh, and it's taken its toll

Rounds

I will defy your
expectations of this
in just a bit
Here we go…
Here we go with that open sore
I’ve been around it once before
And I will defy your
expectations of me
Just wait and see
Here we go…
Here we go with that open sore
I’ve been around it once before
And I know
Where to go
When it goes…
Once more for the time
For the time
(I won’t wait)

Glad That You're Safe
02:39
|

|
Send me
all your letters
in the mail
I want
to be touching
what you say
Wait for the pain
Send out invitations
if you care
Pictures dipped in perfume
little tears
Wait for the pain,
you know it takes me
Glad that you met him, torn from the same page,
torn from a page, folded
Glad that you kept it, glad that you're safe,
glad that you're sane

A Reminder
01:59
|
|||
|
Hold me as I wander into oil
I’ve been all right for a while
Hold my rope when I sink into gold
I’ll stick around for a while
All this believing
has me grieving
the loss
Of futures deceiving
with their promise
I’ve lost
Must keep reminding myself
that I never had a shot

Gold
04:23
|

|
Sure, I’m worried, being
out of work, but look, look
Late November, late in the
afternoon
Gold streaming from beyond the woods
sifted by limb and branch
A flaming stained-glass window
fading
(Excerpted from the poem "Twilights" by Roger Ray Johnson)
