This is AI art btw… at least for the moment I will be using AI images in my videos and probably to illustrate my songs because honestly between creating music & trying to survive I don’t have time to draw things so it is nice to have an artistic servant who will draw whatever I tell him to.
I am a cave Don’t come in Don’t come in
I don’t trust you Let me make that clear Before we begin
Because you’ll say you love me Then you’ll go Wipe the darkness from your hands A man emerging from a hole
Into the light Disconnected from the things he said While falling through the night.
I am dark Don’t approach Don’t approach
Crawled through the mountainside In the night In a cloack
Because you hurt me, when you said you loved me Leaving me there empty Like a hole Did you think I would remain, lying in the pain, Turning to a crust oh no my friend. Something else comes in.
He was black like the sky And his skin was wet as he looked in to my eyes And then he told me I’d never be alone. The dark would be my home. The night would be my throne.
And then the sky became my cape And the stars were diamonds In them I was draped And into my mind, he spoke words so sublime
And now I know That every word you said to throw away Was written in a book and it will be read one day
So you can go. Or stay. It doesn’t make a difference in the end Cause when you go Something else comes in.

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.
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.
Look around and hope to see you Look around and wonder where you been Like a man you come towards me Hold you like a razor in my hand
Oooooo… you always knew the way But I could never see the way The fire was in my eyes- it burns and still I’m fine Why can’t someone love you for a long long time?
Dancing with you at the bar All the stars they circle round to fall Come close stick the pin into me You love me cause I can take it all
Oooooo… you always knew the way But I could never see the way The fire was in my eyes- it burns and still I’m fine Why can’t someone love you for a long long time?
Believe in things that cut you most Believe in magic like a ghost I swear I’ve never felt this way before You move towards the open door
Then turn It burns but still I’m fine It burns but still I’m fine Why can’t someoe love you for a long long time?
Feel him come up from the water Feel him standing there against the wall. Now his shadow fall upon you Like an animal you learn to crawl!
Did he even know you now? Did he even know?
Watch him take three steps towards you Turn your head and listen for the pain Feel his shadow crawl upon you Like an animal he make it Rain!!!!
Did he even know you now? Did he even know?
Nobody knows you now. Lost in a world of stars. No one can feel for you when, nobody here knows who you are…. You are the dark, you are the pull, the hands, the throat, the animal, you scream. You’re trying hard to see but guided only by the light within a dream.
Dark stars throw themselves upon you Animal rain down from the sky Run so fast towards the water Can you make it home before you the light?
Well I know that he twist me Didn’t want me around. Walked off cold, didn’t miss me. So I’m on my way down to the town like a ho.
Oh nowhere to go but the sky, dark Shining for me all alone On my way home.
First they sneak up behind you And they want you so bad Then they roll off to race for the river Leaving you broken and sad so you go to the hole.
Oh nowhere to go but the sky, dark Shining for me all alone On my way home.
First the sound of the river will make you insane. But as long as he wants you, then you will remain You’ll just stay there amazed You’ll just lay in the dark.
First he show you the starlight Then he show you the rain But when his footsteps so dark make you quiver Then really how can you complain? You just lay on the ground.
Look around you now you see so many new horizons Fallen far into a circle sky of blue. With his body on you like a mountain falls and rises And his mouth become the river rolling through.
But look again- there’s a star that always rises Flying high over an ocean filled with blue. And will you swear cause I heard them say A day will come when he returns for you.
With the shadows falling how his hair curls like an injun And the sweat is burning paths upon his face. But you dread when this will end to leave you in suspension Walking circles in a dark and foreign place.
But look again- there’s a star that always rises Flying high over an ocean filled with blue. And will you swear cause I heard them say A day will come when he returns for you.
Please don’t hurt me. Say you won’t hurt me. Please don’t no matter what I do.
Will you say you won’t hurt me? Never desert me? Although I break you black and blue?
Could you climb up the hill? Could you climb it at night? To the air where it’s higher than stars? That’s where you’ll find a world that’s ours.
But look again- there’s a star that always rises Flying high over an ocean filled with blue. And will you swear that you love me cause A day will come when he returns for you.
Hi…. You know I am realizing one of my huge problems in life is being too hyper and impatient. I can’t bear taking more than 5 minutes to record a song & during that time I also managed to destroy a frying pan I really loved by setting it on fire, losing one bowl of macaroni and cheese by dropping it on the floor, one box of straws by dropping it on floor and breaking my headphones all because I couldn’t resist trying to eat dinner and record at the same time. And I melted a grill lighter on a lit stovetop.
The world was cold there was no easy place. The world was flat nowhere to hide. The winds would blow in a disorienting way, Then they’d grow still from time to time.
The people run to you with smiles upon their faces Then they twirl and disappear into a hat. You were supposed to know which words were true And which ones you should not believe but how could you know that?
The grass was green a checkerboard that never ended. The men were tall and thin like stilts. They danced so fancy with their bodies twirled and bended Then they’d tip their hat and like a leaf they’d wilt.
They left green hearts upon the grass where you could see them But it wasn’t clear what any of them meant. Reach down to touch one and it disappears beneath your hand But maybe that was never their intent.
The sun would rise while you were still asleep To fill the air with yellow clowns. Their yellow faces through your sleepy eyes looked queer And so you’d close your eyes and lie back on the ground.
You’d wait til noon when you could see the men come running On their skinny legs beneath the happy sun. Maybe I’ll watch them dance and clap for them for one more day A seal inside their yellow tent of fun.
But when the night came there was no relief. It poured down like a jet black wave. You shook with cold and an emotion much like grief As though your feelings made a difference to a bear inside his cave.
The stars were shining but too far away to hear you And the greatest bear was nowhere to be found. You tried to think there must be something that you missed But all your thoughts would squirt then dribble to the ground.
So close your eyes and let the memories come back To spread like ink upon a page. It could be that life is just a dream that we can’t understand And you must lie unmoving while the stars dance in their cage.
* I have another song named Paradise too. Is that okay? Actually Paradise is one of my favorite words & I am thinking I might write a bunch more songs with this name if it doesn’t present practical problems….
