I am a Cave

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 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.

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.

Long Long Time

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?

Animal (Video)

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?

Did he even know you now? Did he even know?

The Hole

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.

A Star that Always Rises

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.

The Bear

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.

Her fur reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I’d hide.

Paradise*

Man come into a bar
Get bourbon in his ice
You know this man
They call him Paradise

Wiggle sway and dance this way
Slam the whole thing down
Pick me up
Then swing it round and round

Pipes, stars
Spin in falling arms
Eyes, seas
Ooyah ooyah look what could be

You never know which way you’re heading
Til you reach the end
But when you play the devil’s game
You won’t win.

Man come into a bar
And rest his body down
You know this man
You seen him round and round

Soft circles in his eyes
They swirling up again
Yeah fill me up my friend
Don’t you let it win

Smiles, eyes
Black and shiny skies
I see
Ooyah ooyah what it could be

You never know which way you’re heading
Til you reach the end.
But when you play the devil’s game
You won’t win.

Sparks fly
Fill me up inside
I see
Ooyah ooyah what it could be

You never know which way you’re heading
Til you reach the end
But when you play the devil’s game
You won’t win.

* 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….
