Slip into twilight
While the sun’s getting low
Over the skyline
In a heavenly glow
Under the shade of a palm frond
where the roots are exposed
Come back down
and summon me home
I’m still a shy guy
Like a ghost in a sheet
Cut with two eye holes
And a smile underneath
Carry a rose like a wallflower
a thorn in the wreath
Rise back up and turn the other cheek
all in a days work, it pays off
Digging a grave in permafrost
Minimum wage but at what cost
To wither away and carry on
Up in the echelon where chariots flew
high ultra violet & aquarian blue
I’m out of phase with the hologram
I thought to be true
Running away from the hourglass
and counting by twos
sun went down
and you flew the coop
I could never go back down that road again
Gotta keep it on track in the blowing wind
boy the summer went fast (yeah of course it did)
I couldn’t sleep with rust in my eyes
as the band was playing

Clockwork Orange

You only want me when your hurt
and tears are falling on my shirt
I’m sick of all the crash & burn
I really wanna make it work
We only talk when lesson’s learned
lost in my thoughts at every turn
Project my pain onto the world
then act estranged and introvert
Well I feel like giving up & getting high
If I can’t even draw a silver line
Fall back in to waters deep as the world is wide
to wash back up and hold you tight
Up all night I toss & turn
Can’t close my eyes like clockwork orange
I know the fault line often blurs
and sometimes words just make it worse
I need your kiss upon my cheek
To find a smile behind our grief
Im in denial but honestly
I just wish I could get some sleep
I feel like giving up & getting high
If I cant even draw a silver line
To fall back in to autumn leaves where the songbird flies
to was back up and hold you tight

little footprints

fatally honest been taking it slow
The table is set now, my ducks in a row
and it feels like a father who’s never been home
we’ll bury the hatchet where wildflowers grow
Chasing the dragon & blowing your smoke
if death is upon us then let it be so
go fly like a heron and fight like a crow
But don’t be disparaged by somebody’s joke
Easy come now, easy go
Little footprints in the snow
When you look back you’ll see they’re gone

Freak Flag

You smile like a runaway train
A little kid on a fire escape
No shoes or a gov’t name
but the blood of your mother
is honest as elephants
Buck wild in the summer of strange
Sun dials and collecting the rain
Four miles to the edge of the state
as we’re holding each other in
Gotta keep that dream alive
& let our freak flag fly
The pendulum swings wide
but the space between is life
Slow build in a turbulent mind
a good will & the guts to be kind
up hill is the battle we climb
as we’re rolling another one
broke as we’ve ever been
show me the benevolent way
cuz i’m cooked and the recipe changed
Just kids like Patti once said
Didn't know what we’re up against
Gotta keep that dream alive
& let our freak flag fly
The pendulum swings wide
but the space between is life
Gonna give it all I got
Punching in the clock
Running from the cops
and dancing naked
in celebration
The river never stops
it trickles from top
Thickening the plot
through adaptations
We’ll find our way and..
keep that dream alive
& let our freak flag fly
The pendulum swings wide
but the space between is life
