Revolutions


On and on I'll sing until the words
Manifest their weight in every nerve.
It will feel like thunder.
But it seems
That I'll run out of breath before you learn
To not ignore the truth of your nature -
You cannot last forever.

On and on and..

We go around, we go around.

On and on and...

On and on I'll sing until the words
Manifest their weight in every nerve.
It will feel like thunder.
But it seems
That I'll run out of breath before you learn
The ground you're building on is more concerned
With tearing down these structures.
And starting this all over.

We go around, we go around.

On and on we'll spin in cosmic dance,
Pulling at the core of all balance.
We will be torn asunder.

On and on and…

Lights

Oh, it's cold out here, and icy,
In this monochromatic color scheme.

What a way to paint a dream scene;
You said to me, let's use our body heat,
Bring fire to the unseen.

Let's be light.
Discover your own meaning.

Sell Out, Devil

The Devil sold his soul to me.
Red to white turned his cheeks;
I made him blush with the thought that we
Could exist simultaneously.

Your soul, for my soul -
What do you say?

He came with gold, that god of history,
And still he asked so innocently.
It wasn't enough, but I played it fairly -
Soul for soul, just as he always preached.

Sharply

Write it in permanent ink.
Speak before you think.

A drip becomes the ocean in which you sink.

Yes.

And so it begins, once more;
Life comes ready to reset -
Do not rust this preset.

Keep your eyes steady, look past the shore.

I Never Write Love Songs

I miss talking 'til you fell asleep.
That platonic thing I couldn't help but keep.
My eyes wouldn't close without those words.
So I said them anyway,
Indifferent to whether or not they were heard.
I just dreamt that they were,
Almost every single night.
I just dreamt that we were
Transcending and bending the lines.
