Gone are we into the finite
Clasping our lockets as we drown
The shore is wrapped up in a fine night
Wearing it like a mermaid gown
Oh I’ve been staring into my reflection upon the face of the stream
Tears sending ripples beyond, changing the face looking back at me
Enchanted, then rancid romances
A stream of doubt in an endless flow
Born magic, die tragic, live in traffic
We scream it out in an endless flow
Enchanted, then rancid romances
A stream of doubt in an endless flow
Born magic, die tragic, live in traffic
We scream it out in an endless flow

Pure Heart

Well I fell to the earth, crippled with a broken wing
Down in the filth but in the cover
Banished from the pink sky above me
Writhing in the flowers so lovely
Down in the dirt but undercover
Yeah with the dragonflies
Concealed from hungry eyes
For the rest of my life
Hidden in the subdued in solitude
Carry on
Though I will do anything to be liked by anyone
It's pathetic I know
But carry on
No muscles to flex or glistening pecks against the sun
Just pure heart
Be still, meek bird
Don’t fuss, don’t stir
In this brush, though docile we are brave
Carry on
Despite the misty night right before the dawn
I stumble along
And dreaming on
The beasts I beheaded, babes I bedded on mastodons
Just fabrications
Carry on
The amulet doesn’t fit the shoulders it hangs upon
And never belonged
But I carry on
Battered and bleeding but still breathing out this song
A limp lark
Pure heart

Life's Sweet Ending

All the arbitrary beliefs we give in to so hopelessly
You just want to believe in something
“Don’t crush our dreams
The great mystery
Yeah, had it figured out, since we were seventeen”
But the truth it gleams of magic and moonbeams in a realm that we could never conceive
Some things were never meant to be understood
And that’s so comforting
I know, there are a million different ways to go
But you wouldn’t believe your life’s sweet ending
In the afterglow, anything you can imagine, it is so
You wouldn’t believe, no you wouldn't believe it
On the fantastical ridge, in the face of black oblivion
You just don’t want to feel human
We could soar with eagles, frolic in the brush
Shed a tear and kneel at the exploding dusk
Dancing in the sprinkle of a pixie’s dust
Oh the wonderment, the true savior
What else would there be to live for?
It’s all we have
Ain’t it so sad?
On the breeze is where you will find me
For all eternity I will be there
Naked on a lily pad with the secret
Serenity so loud you can hear it
I’ve wandered there all my life
I’ll wait for you there
I know, there are a million different ways to go
But you wouldn’t believe your life’s sweet ending
In the afterglow, anything you can imagine, it is so
You wouldn’t believe, no you wouldn't believe it
Believe what you will, but you wouldn’t believe your life’s sweet ending

Yawning, Yearning
02:42

All my fantasies will be the death of me
If I’d just wake up
All the things that should but they could never be
If I had the guts
Shooting stars go to waste
Just a smear on the night sky
While gazers gawk from a lonely place to die
Yawning, yearning
Yawning and yearning
I search in song and word to curb this ennui
Like I'm some singing seraph
Shooting stars go to waste
Just a smear on the night sky
While gazers gawk from a lonely place to die
The malediction of all this fiction displaces me between
Wandering

What must I do to rouse the affections of a lustful wandering eye?
To feel special
As if I’m more than just a grain of sand
As a hideous, diffident, anxious, unintelligent over-pondering kind of guy
I don’t feel special but
I’ll whisper sweet nothings in your ear
And I wonder if I can touch the stars in your eyes
Or taste the plunder, of a heart I stole and romanticized
Now if I slayed a horde of orcs and saved you from my horse as I quipped a charming little line
Would you then revel in me?
Would I finally be a fetching man
But I’m just a knight in shabby armor, never been much of a charmer, though I’ll wear a charm around my neck
To feel special
But all I really feel is pathetic and wrong
Silk linens dance in the breeze
In white lace, you shatter the vase and turn me away
Now I’m a shadow
That wants to embrace by a fireplace to feel less alone
But no one’s there
And I wonder if I can touch the stars in your eyes
Or taste the plunder, of a heart I stole and romanticized
Yes I wonder
Will I be desired again?
Probably feel it for the first time
As the world comes to a fiery and explosive end, blasting asunder

For the moment when this darkness shrouds my lands
I’m at the mercy of its writhing hand
And all I can do is cower in fear where I stand
Waiting for a dragon that never comes
I feel a sense of terror when I’m under the spell
Some kind of doom is looming though you can barely tell
I flutter like a dove above the gaping rictus of hell
So bewildered, so far from the pillar where the nest still holds my shell
Irrational fear and worry rule like kings
And cancer’s the answer to everything
When all that I dream mutates into a snarling beast
Fragile little fawn won’t wake...
I feel a sense of terror when I’m under the spell
Some kind of doom is looming though you can barely tell
I flutter like a dove above the gaping rictus of hell
So, bewildered so far from the pillar where the nest still holds my shell

I Still Believe

Many ages led us here
Through all the changes, ash and tears
As we revise we disappear
What magic shrouded, knowledge cleared
But I still believe
As suns flew by, they blinded eyes
Creatures fled, streams trickled dry
Erosion scarred, greenery died
Then we just gave up asking why
I still believe
Storm clouds will flee
Darkness will fade
Sunlight will gush
As waterfalls cascade
With choirs un-hushed
Fountains will spring
Rainbows will gleam
As butterflies burst free
Doves will release
I still believe
I still believe
