Another rainy day,
Another sky so gray,
I'm digging in the fields of the inner-space
Going through the mess of all the rooms in my head, I
Take a left turn and I slide
To a door, to the core of this life, it says
"Come in" I,
I see a silhouette
Standing where the shadows and the gate begins, I
See I know who he is,
And as he begins speaking I am listening, I
Take a left turn and I slide
To a door, to the core of this life, it says
"Come in"
A rider rollin'
To bright lights calling
The subway daydreams
All of the plans and schemes I had
Our midnight wonder
The days of the younger
The ways that I loved her
And the way they all loved me

Still Waiting

You could say that I am still waiting
A quick glimpse and the dream's rescinding
My wakin' house spent reminiscing
Of wiser, kinder people loving on a whim
Far out in the white-washed hills
Few words ring out, loud in my mind still
You wanna know what God thinks of money,
Then honey, look at who he gave to
Forty ounces and the road begins,
The clouds of good smoke clear the foggy heads now
All too smart to drive, or politik
Too busy to try, to not, to text, to call
"Do not call" chick,
The hurt, so scared so crazy chick
Better that I quest for much softer lips
Who know that the beat needs
A swinging of her hips , go!
Its still midnight in the garden of my soul
All I desire I can't yet control
Sleep tight let your body get older
Hibernate this voice it says to me
Make mistakes while nobody knows your name
You need time and your pain to find your age
You've been running,
But don't you know
You need both to grow
Cuz soon you'll have to show and prove
All it is you've been through
And all it is you've seen too
What it is, this world, it did to you
And why you're incredible

Godhammer

I wonder where you are
And if you think about me
The nothingness between us still shows me your sunlight
The gift you gave is gone,
Your letter's ink is fading
The Godhammer goes everywhere but never where you are
You loved my light from far
But closeness left you scarred
A blinded baby crying for a life that is not hard
An echo above and below a starship that is my home
The Godhammer she thunders out that I am not alone
What is there in the dark
My ship and I are sailing?
We're worlds apart, but somewhere out there, strings still pull on my heart
I fell and came apart
The cold of space did save me
Freed of gravity I did leave on the back of these six strings
They carried me again,
Beginning from a bitter end
The lover, and then nothing who just couldn't stay a friend

Butterflies that my cold soul had forgotten
The desire that I see in your eyes
Important cuz it is for more than just my body
I can see and I know you are seeing all of me
Still I felt free
Behind the house there is a space that we can both take
In the evening, free of dogs and brothers and roommates
Let us se where these little blue pills will take us
Over the years I've seen all of the ways you looked my way
Still I felt free
Its only love that I get from you
And a pillow and blanket too, its true
Now and then you're kissing my wounds
I've gotta say
You're a really good spoon
What are dreams and why's the speaker still so silent?
Astral projections seeing through two closed eyelids
Who cares, your "boots of Spanish leather" sounded more true
Still beautiful, I guess my dear forever you are doomed
Still can't believe it that for you it was on the couch,
You see I thought that that was what that night was all about
I guess to let it in, you should let it all out
And in my shivers till the dawn you held on tight 'round me
Still I felt free
Its only love that I get from you
And a pillow and blanket too, its true
Now and then you're kissing my wounds
I've gotta say
You're a really good spoon
On a crowded 81st in New York City,
I emerged a tired, restless, racing energy
And as I turned, what were these eyes I saw before me?
And I felt free

I wonder what you're doing since I saw you last about five days ago,
Yeah, I just met you but your words I cannot seem to ever let them go
Don't need, don't ask, don't bleed, you won't last
My greatest teacher, pain reminds me about all the treachery I've seen
I've been around the block stared down the glock, it was my impatience that pulled my own trigger on the thing
Yeah I could lie, the truth is I get so excited by new prospects that I tighten my grip on them
"You want, you take!"
The Other says to me
And I don't know which side is evil anymore
All I know is the past (If I don't wait)
Says this wont last (If I don't wait)
My greatest teacher pain reminds me about all the treachery I've seen
Restraint! Restraint!
The greatest teacher that I've had is pain
He begs me wait or he will come again
Just hold your cards don't show them and don't fold
The stars they glitter, please don't reach for gold
Don't let me break these golden chords I've found
But can I fly with both feet on the ground?
Restraint! Restraint!

Fire

Fire!
Inside of my soul
It burns me bright,
My body and mind and all
And all tense dreams
I haven't yet seen
And what possibly could become of me
I watch em slip away
Away from me
From who I oughta be
So eat me up
And swallow me whole
I wanna burn bright,
My body and mind, and all
And not just a nibble,
I don't wanna just sizzle
I wanna burn bright,
Like the lights in the night sky
Or else, ill slip away from me
From who I ought to be
Fire!
Inside of my soul
I can't let go
Of these dreams that I hold
And with my boys,
I'm gonna follow the light
And ill burn bright,
Do that, or die
And I won't slip, away
Watashi wa baka
No I won't slip, away
Not anymore, no not anymore
No I won't slip, away
You can be dam sure, oh you can be damn sure,
Fire!

Rogue

Eyes half closed caught smiling in a mug shot
Balled up fist, and a plastic ring is all I got
Pseudo-intellectuals, Sex-starved perpetually
Lyrics of the modern rocking boys and girls,
So cerebral
And when I'm gone,
You can find me there, under she
And all the sheets, and all the sheets, and all the sheets, and all
Look! A scar, see? Now you know I ain't afraid to fall,
The rogue, he ain't afraid to fall!
Tell me all the reasons why I shouldn't, and I will,
Impossible's the only thing I really love to kill
You can try and get me, but you know you never will
If our minds are racing, yours is just standing still
When sky falls down,
All around is panic and a frantic frown
You clown, is this the first trouble that you've found?
Look! A scar, see? Now you know I ain't afraid to fall,
The rogue, he ain't afraid to fall!
