Gravity
Won’t bow down to these gods
Or their weather machines
But our fate was sealed
with a kiss
No chalk circle
can protect you from this
You’re always in the back of my mind
feels like gravity
bending light
Words
weighing me down
warping my mind
like gravity
What do you want me to change?
I don’t know…
how many rules can be rearranged?
If I fail
what’s next for me
decide\ not much time
and a brittle spine.
You’re out of time.
You’re always in the back of my mind
feels like gravity
bending light
Words
weighing me down
warping my mind
like gravity

Statues
I’ve been around
for a million years
a million years
On sacred ground
A battle here
In the name of fear
They couldn’t look away
They couldn’t look away
She couldn’t say my name
It’s never over
When the memory
Stands for all to see
A monument to misery
But don’t forget
There’s a reason for it
Remind me
not to recreate past mistakes
Crossing the ocean
of guilt
How do you feel?
Like an explorer
or the destroyer
It was built
with germs, guns and steel
That statue
They couldn’t look away
They couldn’t look away
She couldn’t say my name
It’s never over
When the memory
Stands for all to see
A monument to misery
Remind me
not to recreate past mistakes
That statue.

Blacker Shade of Blue
you used to love a ghost
if you know what i mean
now it seems you don’t love anything
had to walk it back
in order to breathe
i find it fascinating
now what else can we do
with a blacker shade of blue
ii’s never seemed so uninviting
the face in the mirror can be frightening
looking back through eyes aging
eyes aging
eyes aging
now what else can we do
with a blacker shade of blue

Anchor
Is there someway we can talk
Somewhere nice and quiet?
Anywhere away from this noise
I could really use a walk
To a place a little more private
Anywhere away from this noise
Anywhere
Just so you know, you were always someone I couldn't find words for.
Just so you know, you were always someone I couldn't find.
What happened to our discourse
We've changed our way of talking
And became better than listening
Vigils lit without a candle
Pray for all of us in turmoil
Is there anyone listening?
Anyone?
Anywhere?
Just so you know, you were always someone I couldn't find words for.
Just so you know, you were always someone I couldn't find.

Run and Hide
Have faith
for a change
she said
the last gasp
in the death throes
of this
Why should I
be careful
when reckless is your middle name
Nothing to see here
blind eyes
look away
look away
Hiding Hiding
Run and hide
It’s the feeling that left you
too soon
what’s it take to protect you
from you
Hiding Hiding
Run and hide

Exposed
Fire
From the sky
Like a holy light
Drop to the floor
It’s a sign
The ancient kind
Or so you were told
Lies
I can’t believe my eyes
Anymore
Hide
You can’t hide
Eyes are everywhere
Never felt so exposed
Exposed
Tired
Of the sight
Once more into the night
The place we call home
It’s a sign
The ancient kind
It’s what you were sold
Lie
It’s a lie
I can’t believe my eyes
Anymore
Hide
You can’t hide
Eyes are everywhere
Never felt so exposed
Exposed
Fire
From the sky
Like a holy light
Drop to the floor

Drive
Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to your racks, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
What if I ride, what if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
What if you did, what if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?
Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby
Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby
Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby
Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, Ollie
Ollie, Ollie in come free, baby
Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Smack, crack, shack-a-lack
Tie another one to your backs, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
Maybe you did, maybe you walk
Maybe you rock around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby
Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
Baby
Baby
