Playing opossum on the ground
Memorizing all your whispers
Walking all the roads
To your invisible cities
Searching for the oldest note
I can’t hear you but I know you’re there
Crackling through the air
Unaware that I’ve been following
Finally I can see
With eyes in every key
I can remember all the sounds
Like the scenery in dreams
Reaching for something to bring back
Some proof of where I’ve been
Palms are resting on the ground
Learning every vibration found
Stains on the silence
Noises that never will be clean
Closer to the oldest note
Tape recorder will not hold another song
Right here all along
Within cassettes that shouldn’t be
These are the sounds I have gathered for you
Every word, every song that you knew
Take it apart and build something new
Everything that you think is you

Lullabies collapse under your sighs
Questions you are asking of the skies
Fortune, find her every verse
Burning candles in reverse
Always you are aching for the night
Darkness you are staining with your light
Fortune, find her every verse
Burning candles in reverse

Here’s a song about being young
I should’ve done all the things
But I only did some
Here’s a song about being old
Nobody was buying
Some souls never get sold
I want to write about
Want to sing about
All of my fears
Don’t know if they’ll come true
Or disappear
Here’s a song about being heard
I tried to tell a story
Before I knew the words
Here’s a song about being more
But I’d give up all my dreams
Just to listen to yours
We are all unfinished art in a dark corner

I saw you there speaking to the circles
I follow you to the forests head
Waiting for the world to sing along
Borrow words from other borrowed songs
The poetry we deserve
Its all yours
I saw you there weeping on your memories
But you are now stronger than ever
Waiting for the world to sing along
Borrow words from other borrowed songs
The poetry we deserve
Its all right
Nothing in my hand but yours
Take me to the worlds you wander
Nothing in my hand but yours
Don’t let go

6 The Secret Few
Doesn’t have to make sense
Seen this all before
Done more with less
Done less with more
Do you miss the place
Or do you miss the years
You can never have it all back
Wasting so much time
On this compulsive need to rhyme

Time goes on
Am I free or the muses pawn
Turn all those little sounds into seeds
Plant them in the dirt in your eyes
While you watch the world go by
Beginnings and endings
It’s all the same
It’s all right now or gone
A little fantasy is all you need
To keep you in line
And all you want to be is hidden
In the vacuum of your mind
Turn all those little sounds into seeds
Plant them in the dirt in your eyes
While you watch the world go by

Lights in the sky burning in reverse
Been waiting hours for a third verse
Aglow with every color you’ve ever seen
Never know when you are standing behind me
Your skin is art, I am the gallery
Hang your sorrows on my wall and be at peace
Been waiting here
Been here looking through the door
Forever but I still want more
Overture of energies hiding in us
Everything we want to be
Time has made us

Always morning, we lay in the light
Trying to do everything right
Always watching with ivory eyes
Waiting for you to change the design
The plot armor thickens
Follow our voices
A silence louder than
All other noises
Axiom sing alongs
Songs of our people
Future nostalgia
Another sequel
Always searching for words to combine
Something for you to read throughout time
The plot armor thickens
Follow our voices
A silence louder than
All other noises
Axiom sing alongs
Songs of our people
Future nostalgia
Another sequel
And if you’re going to be just like me
Then I better become something worth being

Where to begin
I’ve never known
What could have been
Where I should go
Wander on
Thoughts are so dark
You can see every star
There you are
Always near
Always far
Tell secrets to notebooks and space
All of these years glued to my face
Wander on
Thoughts are so dark
You can see every star
There you are
Always near
Always far

Sounds to dye the silence
the color of the air
staining time to keep the records
a voice everywhere
and every word is meaningless
never could explain
head encumbered with a queue
of things I've tried to say
I am of the night now
she is of the lights
dancing to the music
coming from her satellites
student of her shape and shadow
her curvature in space
warping all the world around us
to point me on my way home
and all the things I cannot name
that live within the strings
all for you, my little flame
I'm ready to begin

Stitching words to your sounds
Still time to turn it around
Everything where it belongs
All of your favorite songs
Stored in the safest place
The colors I saw in your face
Open a door to the sun
Where we’ll find everyone
Stories we’ve captured
In our stained glass universes
Chorus is empty
The words would rather be verses

We are not what you think we are
Born in forgotten histories
And undiscovered stars
And hearing songs that don’t exist
Well if you insist
Spinning light into lunacy
Every answer I’ll ever need
Twist ending
You won’t see it coming
When the songs were using you
To hear themselves
Songs that don’t exist
Well if you insist

There is no more in-between
What you are and where you’ve been
Other worlds are whispering
And they know you’re listening
There is music in your name
But the song’s never the same
Every word has been erased
But I rewrite them every day
More sounds and words
Pretending to be a verse
Every song you’ve ever heard
Voices in the water
I will turn through every page
Leaving blood on every stage
One more song no one will hear
Another artist disappears
There is music in your name
But the song’s never the same
Every word has been erased
But I rewrite them every day
More sounds and words
Pretending to be a verse
Every song you’ve ever heard
Voices in the water
This is the ending and the beginning
You still love
You made it this far, you’re still listening
You still love
Talking to yourself through your recordings
You still love
Every little thing you have ever been
You still love
More sounds and words
Pretending to be a verse
