Every color you are

Imagine now the sunlit park where we first met
Thought I knew my city well but
I’d heard no word of you just yet
Take me in with a slow motion glance
Teach me the grammar of your heart
while I watch the iridescent light beneath your pupils dance
Show me every color you are
Yes I’ll follow, vine and calyx
to the garden sweet below
Watch the hours gently vanish
in the salt lamp glow
Anchored in your room
a space to be consumed, show me
Show me every color you are
Long awaited flight
born of a waking dream that
transcends on gilded wings
I could die here happy
Intertwine the city’s arms
and yours and mine
and shine your light and sing
Show me every color you are
Show me every color you are and will be

Come out and play

Swimming in a pile of leaves
or pickin’ raspberries
everything’s alright
I’m gonna count to twenty
Hide and seek, you think it’s funny
to disappear from sight
There’s not enough time
to explore all you wish to find
Come out and play
spin and twirl and run
Come out and play
‘cause girls just wanna have fun
Climb the sign for the #3
even the doorway, even me
everything you see
I’ll race you to your favorite park
Come on, let’s beat the dark
Wait a minute – is that hopscotch?
Hop skip, hop skip skip
Say 1, 2, 3, let's go!
Play
spin and twirl and run
Come out and play
‘cause girls just wanna have fun
When the day comes to rest
and you’re done discovering the world outside
You become a pirate or a princess
such an imaginative girl
We tell stories in the dim light
until you’re ready to sleep tight
tomorrow you can play

Confession
04:00
|

|
I don’t believe I knew you like I wanted to
I don’t believe I saw you as you wished to be seen
One reckless night in summer I frayed the threads that wind
around what now appears to me a distant dream
Conscience signaling, I could wait no more
though I hesitate to even speak her name
I’m ready for a nasty fight, anxious nights and vicious slights
but I waited for a fight that never came
Confession to the fading light in your eyes
Slings and arrows from afar, with a curious reserve
Oh you never even raise your voice to shout
I’m dying here to take abuse, expose the wound, seek the truth
but every precious hope I had is drowned in doubt
Confession to the fading light in your eyes
Sorry won’t raise a candle to a broken trust
Contrition dies on the vine
Your remorse pales against my shattered heart
I can’t hold a place for you beside a lie
I don’t believe I knew you like I wanted to
I don’t believe I saw you as you wished to be seen
One last ditch night in winter I plead with all I have
Confession to the fading light in your eyes

Erase
04:17
|
|||
|
Wash the linens, purge your scent
hide the photos and the evidence
Surface tension is easy to break
Erase
Return the artifacts and words
Cherished history left to burn
Every love letter shot from the sky
Falls lifeless and cold at my feet
Erase
Many nights, I tumble from the edge of a dream
Where we remain in grace
And as I wake, reality reveals its spiteful face
and the dark descends again
All the things I want to say
Each amend without a place
Every sunrise I feel myself die
A little bit more to your heart
Cut these ties and contract
Walk away don't look back
Tar all hope with the cruel
Revoke your love because
I've earned my fate
our last embrace
Now we are gone, erased

All the light
04:30
|
|||
|
When the pain has come and gone
Time makes space for light
Unfolds in the darkness elevating hope
Celebrating all we’ve known
There is something here in me, today
restless in the silence
Intuition strong, when odds are dim
There is something here in you, alive
A memory of our melody
Chrysalis awake, has wings to soar
I think about
All the light we made
The wordless high that frees our souls
Anodyne glow that shines so bright even the stars can see
All the light we made
Would you look me in the eye, today
and say if anything’s changed
Would you open up your heart, once more, to me
Would you look me in the eye, right now
And tell me what you see
Would you open up your heart, again, anew
Maybe we’ll meet in another life, you are
this time the dreamer, I’ll be the alchemist
but as hidden forces play, I only have to say
that’s much too long to find our way back home
All the light we made
The wordless high that frees our souls
Anodyne glow that shines so bright even the stars can see
All the light we made
