The straightest line
Won’t change over time
Whether yours or mine
Crystalline
These patterns are signs
No doubt in my mind
Crystalline
No bend no curve no changing course
No shift no skew no brutal force
Crystalline
No cracks no breaks no disarray
No splits no tears no fade away
Crystalline
Just picture the shape
I will show you the way
It will be okay

Primrose Hill

Waves of the summer
Souls you don’t even know are there, by the river
Pale as the evening glow exhale, as we shiver
Shades of a dreamy Primrose Hill, down below us
Graves of forgotten names that…
Stay so young
Make no sound as we
Lay ourselves down
Faces that shape our homes
Bones of the willing
Throne of a city lined with old mausoleums
Tales of a journey’s ending shared with the living
Framed for a generation bold and discerning
Names and forgotten ages
Waves of the summer
Souls you don’t even know are there, by the river
Pale as the evening glow exhale, as we shiver
Shades of a dreamy Primrose Hill, down below us
Graves on a sleeping lonesome lane.

Shallow Waves

Fires light up the sky
No one waits for us
When all the lights go down
No one makes a fuss
You’re all my arms away
Face forwards
You’re all my arms can take
Face forwards
Keep falling…
You saved us
Where I go the clouds come down
A fallen bravely husk
Panic that makes no sound
Heartache fades to dust
Life in the shallow waves
No one makes a fuss
And when the light goes out
Breathe slow

Have you ever wondered if rainfalls feel bad when you’re sad,
or can they lift you out of time and space to a place of comfort?
On the other hand they fuel brainstorms that breathe life to your life
and the rhythm of the drops draws a line to your…
Soul, have you ever wondered if it’s all a show for us to feed
Our ever growing curiosities, our minds expand to see
Have you ever wondered if it’s worth, the time we spend concerned
About the things we hope will never change, for us again
Levitating with the mourners that feel glad when you’re back
behind the prison of a droll landscape beheading monsters.
Respirating on the ceiling between bands in your hands,
as the vision of a time and place presents an exit.
So, have you ever wondered if it’s all a show for us to feed
Our ever growing curiosities, our minds expand to see
Have you ever wondered if it’s worth, the time we spend concerned
About the things we hope will never change, for us again
From nothing, the time we have is all we have.

Bring out your sonnets and bury your shame
Our poor lonesome planet with scars on the brain
Midnight melodic with violent decay
Clenching the fists in a tourniquet
The Earth
The swirling molten insides of the earth
Cascading down the hillsides towards the firth
Unfurling golden landslides to smother us
Have you heard the silence of all kingdom come?
Vanishing sirens and screams come undone
Live out your days underneath the red sun
Formulate angles to spear beyond
The Earth
A fallen lonely ash pile atomic Earth
The days belong to flash fires and sonic bursts
Deranged and brawling missiles from the gods
Save our souls…
Save our runaways…
