Paradise

Father, I need to sit.
There’s all of this blood down here- nobody will tell me what it is.
Father, what is the time?
There’s all of this blood down here- nobody will tell me if it’s mine.

You built a tower in my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in the sand.
Clouds flew above me light flashing out of their eagle eyes
Now I can feel those cold things starting again.

Father, where are my hands?
I need to touch my eyes- something tells me they are hurting me again.
Father, am I lying in bed?
Why are the curtains drawn? What is this thing upon my head?

You built a tower in a tower in my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in the sand.
Sun shimmered on my body like I was a pegasi
But now I can feel those cold things starting again.

Father, why are the curtains drawn?
So many things to do. I can’t remain in here too long.
Father, I need to ask
Of all the things you’ve done, which ones are the ones that you’d take back?

You built a world around my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in your hand.
Cities they swirled around me like they was a race of lights
But now I can feel those cold things starting again.

All of the men in the world lined up side by side
A bundle of twigs they wait for the flame.
Dance by the fire and you will realize
A burning man will never feel the pain.

5 Dark Knights

5 Bright Stars- that I’ve never seen before
Step by step- walking on the checkerboard, you know
Some things get easier with time
Blood flows much easier when I know the blood is mine.

5 Dark Knights- sleeping underneath the skies
Toss and turn- thinking of the way you died, I can’t
Describe what is left of me more delicate than a lace
Hold me in your hand then let me slip into the wind and watch me fly.

Sometimes the sky is filled with eyes.

5 Small Boys- I saw them inside a dream
Step by step- but the checkerboard was green, you know
They never cried they were a bubble in the air
Flying in the wind they never knew that you were there all of the time.

They were oblivious to the feeling of your eyes.

Step by step- walking to the rabbit hole
And there I will forget, slip into a black so fine
That you were there with me when every wind was filled with time.

We were oblivious to the feeling of their eyes.

The Box

sing and gleam, mountain stream
I know where you flow
falling down, losing ground
crash the world below

lose the dream
of purity you wanted me to bring
lose the dream
there’s nothing sacred now

something fails, yet still goes on
I was in the box, but now it’s gone

like a swirl, like a wave
changing me inside
suck me down, underneath
this is where I’ll hide

on and on
to bluer things you wanted me to bring
on and on
your arrow in my hand

something dies, yet still goes on
I was in the box, but now it’s gone

waterfall over me
holding up my hands
blue and cold, touching me
I don’t understand

how I feel
I waited for you everyday alone
standing there
there’s nothing certain now

losing form, yet flowing on
I was in the box, but now its gone

And just in case you enjoy giving people money…

Arms

Come home take my heart out of its box
Lie down let the voices talk
And they tell me to survive
It’s good to be alive
So feed the fire inside

Money is the green light, don’t you know?
When it’s gone you gotta go
I know

Arms- a place no one can stay
Love is a word- words fly away
Learn to remain
And I’ll be proud of you babe

See the world in all its lies
Learn to see through different eyes
Driving past men in your car
Can you see through their charms?
They heal, they harm

Money is the green light, don’t you know?
When it’s gone you gotta go
I know

Arms- a place no one can stay
Love is a word- words fly away
Learn to remain
And I’ll be proud of you babe

Learn to love the fire inside
Do whatever you do to survive
When they lead you to the cave
You can act like it’s okay
But just remember- they lie

Learn to take the money then you run
Down by the river to the setting sun
The world a place no one can stay
Everybody’s words will fly away

Learn what remains
And I’ll be proud of you
I’ll be so proud of you
I’ll be proud of you babe

Dandelions

Stars shine, tracking time
Watching us they gleam.
Warning do not live inside a dream.

So stern you check your watch.
Light your cigarette
Look at me: Are you ready yet?

We could chase the the happy things that disappear
Running like a stream
Watch me now and see the way I follow them
Dying in your dream

Running through the green green grass
Dandelions bloom
A universe just inside a room

Draw the curtain burgundy I’m staring at the stars
You come close hold me in your arms.
Pour wine it’s your time, light your cigarette
Whatever you want is what you’ill get

We can chase the the happy things that disappear
Running like a stream
Watch me now and see the way I follow them
Dying in your dream

Running through the green green grass
Dandelions bloom
A universe just inside a room

Pour your wine it’s your time your gone.
All the things you wanted will go on and on
Leave the room, watch your step, find your light
Stepping out like darkness into night.

But everytime you leave I feell so cold inside
How can that be right?
Turn my head & think about another day.
Running through the night

Running down a green green path
Dandelions bloom
A universe just inside a room.

Did we chase the happy things that disapear
Running like a stream
Did you see the way that I
Drowning in your dream

All the starts align into a cube
A universe born just inside this room
Stepping there so easily a dream inside your mind

Then lit his cigarette
I knew so soon
Cigarette shine across the room
Pour your wine its time then your gone.

Pour your wine, it’s your time, light your cigarette
All the things you wanted are the things that you will get
All the stars seem to aligning forming in a cube
A universe just inside this room.

Pour your wine it’s your time your gone.
All the things you wanted will go on and on
Leave the room, watch your step, find your light
Stepping like a adfe into the night.

Even with you here i feel so cold inside
How can that be right?
Turn my head to dream about another day.
Running through the night

Running down a green green path
Dandelions bloom
A universe just inside this room.

light your cigarette
When you leave the room I will forget
Nothing in this world has touched me yet.

Chairs

Don’t be scared
Step right in
You decide when it will begin.

Chairs are horses
Beds are men
All of them under your command

Time moves slow
Tick tick tick
Watching you there as you sit
And your fingers reach for another cigarette

And all the horses
All the men
Women under your command my friend
My friend

I want this for you
To give something to you
Let no one know the things I do for you

And when you walk in socks
Pad padding on the floor
Slipping sliding through the open door

I need to entertain my mind
The only way that I can find
Or otherwise my hands will shake
And deep inside my little heart will break

And all the horses all the men
All of us at your command my friend
My friend

The curtains start to heave and swing
You think you see a diamond
You close your eyes and he’s a beast
You open them- a violet

Stay focused on the things you need
The hand beneath the silky sheets
The voices echo all around
The drugs that make it all go down

And when you walk in socks pad padding on the floor
Close your eyes, you’ll be back for more

I am One

Saw his ax between the trees
He took his aim right at my knees
Still I am one.

Hid behind the trees in fright
I stood there frozen through the night
But he was gone.

Did he find another world?
Well I don’t know.
Either way it’s time to cry
They tell me so.

Pull myself between the sticks
The sky was dim, the mud was thick
Still I am one.

Something move inside my hair
I jump three feet, was that him there?
No he is gone.

Find a town to wander there
Without a name.
Watch them throw their marbles down
For one more game.

The town. Mirrors all around.
Windows to the sky. So I shut my eyes.
And in the darkness flow. Into the woods I go.
The night a single time. The town a single mind.

Take a breath to watch the sky
See it open big blue eye
Yeah we are one.

Hang their clothing on the line
Through alleyways the people wind
Into the dawn.

You could ask them where to stay
But they won’t know.
They just came to laugh and play
They’ll tell you so.

Not Being There

If you’re wanting power
Someone to control
Come when you feel broken
Then go when you wanna go

I won’t disappoint you
Cause I never really care
I just love not being there.

If you love the darkness
Want someone you can use
Pin them down to hurt them
Leave them there feeling confused

All the times you break me.
I never really care
I just love not being there.

Drinking on your bacolny
Looking out at the big big sea
All the things you want me for
They got nothing to do with me.

Spiritual power
That’s what you’ll give to me
Make the world so broken
When I want to I can leave

And I won’t look behind me
Cause I never really cared
I just love not being there.

I am Bone

Push through trees at night you’ll never
find the one you’ll love forever.
Some die, some don’t
Some will some won’t
Follow me & I will show you.

Come find me, keep in mind we
won’t be coming home- I am bone.

Shine a flashlight on the dark ground
Time changes thing until they can no longer be found.
I once swore to go before you
Follow me & I will show you

Come find me, keep in mind we
won’t be coming home- I am bone.

When they scream you’ll know they’ve found me
Terror and shock they will surround me
Don’t shake don’t cry, I am nearby
Follow me and I will show you.

Come find me, keep in mind we
won’t be coming home- I am bone.

Golden Fingers (Video)

Watch the world with hopeful eyes
staring at its black disguise
hiding-where are you?

Underneath a checkerboard
knights and kings keeping score
crying- can it be true?

Under your purple eyes
black squares and white squares lie
fighting- which one is true?

Under your aqua shirt
hope is killed off by hurt
all on the surface is blue.

Don’t lose heart whatever life brings
you must believe that behind all things
Golden Fingers pull on the strings!

Prop your head up on your arm
in your eyes I see no intent to harm
that’s why I love you.

But the day will surely come
when you will kill or be the one
whom they pour their poison into.

Don’t be their fluffy sheep
sink into places deep
let evil flow through your root.

Hardened heart, inky skull
feast like a cannibal
all of the black squares were true.

Killing hurts and killing stings
but you must believe that behind the scenes
Golden Fingers pull on the strings!

When you’re dark, when you’re mean
doing things that shouldn’t be seen
I will be here with you.

Bodies lie, angels spy
we fall to earth, one day we fly
all of the white squares were true.

In the sky they saw
your hand and they understand
you did what you had to do.

Kill or be killed they know
that’s the way black squares roll
all of their tears were for you.

Don’t lose heart whatever life brings
you must believe that behind all things
Golden Fingers pull on the strings!

The original song… from a time when I was obsessed with men being able to make their way across the checkerboard of black and white squares to receive their crown of solid gold….
