Pose 01:32
In a quiet devotion I lit upon a strange notion A mind cannot be sold Though often taught contrary every tributary An endless stream of gold Flow to the river & see through the mirror Now let the light focus it isn't hocus pocus To look at yourself You may think it a prison cell or just an empty shell A victim of cruel chance See past the image of ego revision Bring dogma to heel & you'll realize that You are a god

Bombs in the belfry exploded with joy Whilst down in the valley the men & the boys Tried to describe an indescribable noise Some slank & some gathered whilst some held their poise Pose indestructible a posse of men Set out to do what they did again For lynching & hanging was common to them The knot & the noose the rope & the pen I'm not sorry At all Who stokes the belfry from dawn until night And dares play the artist scientist & wife I swear that I saw you frozen in time The words lose their meanings definition rhyme A standard procedure of time & of place To receive & transmit into inner space

We Agree 02:14
Streetlight I'm there You're there Dreamlike Ensnared You scared me half to death Relax & take a breath I'm there Streamline Your head You're taking your last breath On your wedding day You never did believe in god not for want of understanding or lack of trying But as he lay dying In a hospital bed in rags You swore to yourself that you'd never again be the victim of self deception Or lack of perception Crying & trying on that one at least we can agree We agree Just wait & see Just wait & see And you'll be free To see what I mean

Fleeced 03:21
Gotta be lazy Gonna keep cool Think I should drop out And go play the fool Told me I'd miss her If I couldn't see It wouldn't disintegrate my autonomy If two meant nothing Rose up to meet me Bells ring in my head Think now I'll abate this unquenchable thirst for dread And empty my head Only when dreams end

Empty streets thick with fog Limp useless retching coughing lipstick cigarette glow In the corner of Her mouth an open question Erase flash quick into the Minds eye of Death Nerve Questions Stumble out of the ginmill Bitter stomach churning whole world spinning mind unhinging Head swoon fall Drip into the gutter Face down the answers float by As dawn returns inflections To constable's Aggressions Now as the day Wash away night's indiscretions Our hero seeks to glean The knowledge she can't seem To unfold from the fray The mystery the dream To awake is the key The lock her memory Head split down the middle seam Wrenching faintest traces of sleep Spitting daylight on sidewalk pulp Wishing forgetting could be all it took Organs shrivel god it feels like death Chest so tight hardly draw in a breath Sit a moment rest these burnt out eyes Soon hitching breath becomes a heaving sigh Mind up running as actors job Thoughts of waxing sun cuts through the fog Love beads dew-like on unfolding limbs Roots drink deeper undisturbed by winds Look up inwards never seen so far In a flash orbit amongst the stars Center denser than brightest sunlight Nothing looms as all comes into sight

Thoughtless 04:54
Riding the tide of cascading mind A free flow thought descension Lower controls lean back in the breeze Of a sun shading tree that the dawn will realize The Word on a Voice am I free now Stars fading crown raising queen knights king Lighting sings from fortunes dick so take all night & take me quick Clock hands strike the hours tick this endless talk it makes me sick What if I should think less of redemption Would they deny me Silence dies man crucifies now child arise Love I invoke thee Thoughtlessly As she walks beneath the streets where time & space as lovers meet Shifting cobblestones overhead the memories of living dead They cannot break nor bind her then beyond the reach of hateful men What seemed a very dire end has turned upon a mirrors edge Another realm of unknown deeds has begun initiated perfectly

Love lanced two wings clipped Seeking to control the brothers with the lovers on the run Beholdent a silhouette burnt on the sun When I saw the seven rays of raise above Everybody sing Thunderous wondrous tragedy Absolved in a personal mythology Bells ring a song of grace Squabble fights & second sights & holding amongst men & women For when the ending is in sight the beginning comes again Thinking holding holy thoughts Hold up to the light The only thing that can hold me down the scream of second sight When the waning of the winter in the summer springs my love And the goddess of the infant in the temple isn't judged I swear by all I've seen here that I swear to god I'll die The forgotten gods of winter inching towards the sun Floating up the ridges 'til spring has come again The children aren't breeding if the parents hold their dreams The south is slowly bleeding there's nothing up my sleeve If you can't hold the screen up And you can't hold the flies A certain kind of mysticism never felt so right Sometimes I can barely see it And sometimes hold in dreams When I start to think about it Something seems to scream Out loud Dragged through a charade Down worn streets of cobblestone A witch The Beast the congregents screamed Heathen burn him Onto the pyre Blood soaked breath all but expired Death nerve hand bound to a smoldering fire Gramha The prisoner screamed Suddenly a peace of mind As the voice Of Gramha Through our hero Speaks as she dies And it says Signify my undying light As the sun sets upon me Death nerve fires as the soul aspires To dissolve in Love/Nothing/Fear Tell me a story Beauty unfolding
