Soon soon
When what I seek no longer hides
You once rejected my advances
Soon soon
You will realise
The treasure lays in the questions
Not the answers
So try
Try not my friend
To compare a life
Side by side or measure
Distraction distorted the impulse to rule
The peace which is thwarted
Resides within us
I know that I knew it
You know I knew it too
With patience and purpose
We no longer are denied
Soon

Still Talking Scribble
04:06
|
|||
Riotous discussions hide
A life dreamt of not realised
Elemental bruise subsides
Black to powder blue
Riotous discussions break
The protocol we've grown to hate
What doesn't come too soon
It comes too late is that true?
All these years…
Riotous discussions caught
An army of indifferent thoughts
What is not for sale can it be bought
I'm asking you
Riotous discussions fear
There's nothing left to keep us here
The nomadic tendency is clear
A tainted residue
After all these years...
We're still talking scribble

Too many opportunities
To make mistakes you said
Immunity not granted
Should the bloated grievance meta morph as you
Knowledge speaks wisdom listens
Avoidance though I fear is a futile exercise
Beneath the wings of a dragon
Beneath the wings of a dragon its true
Your narrow minded vision
Don't deserve this wide expansive space
Still attached to the outcome
When only the journey should count
Knowledge speaks wisdom listens
The infant mind so open and unashamed
Beneath the wings of a dragon
Beneath the wings of a dragon it's true

Curiosity's tired affection
The better thing often harder to do
The bigger and bolder decision in time
Like an outfit you will grow into
As the flailing arms of illusion
Of the turbulent angst ridden child
Will slowly reveal the intention
To expose all that we hide
Worthy of deep admiration
Long enough to develop a grudge
A detour without expectation will harbour
The sweetest benevolent shove
Which like a friendly dictator
Whose gunmetal grey dorsal fin
Exposes the savage intention
Your plausibility is wearing so thin
For a life worth living is tested
A life worth living is found
Not in the easy existence
But in the lonely paths and challenges
A man must walk down
Will you still be defiantly open
Scattered the troops wave you down
Collective the gasp from cathedral
Cities to dark northern towns
The continual short sharp reminders
What's the best you can do with your day
But furrow and plummet
The depths of a question
Where answers elusively stray
Awareness will not ask for players
Awareness she does not play games
The shadows of an army of counterfeit characters
Are dwarfing your delicate frame
|
||||

The single minded stubborn thought
It has come undone
What you believed
Was right through those years
You now know that it was wrong
Shoot me down
Shoot me down
You cannot fix you cannot mend
Shoot me down
Shoot me down
For the enemy of my enemy he is my friend
I glimpsed a life
Beneath your eyelashes heavy watch them sprawl
A jawbone tight
I feel the primal breeze you my open parachute
That breaks me from the fall
These beautiful diversions found
Are only feelings never felt
But don't you know
That the easiest person in the world
To fool it is yourself

Solo
02:29
|
|||
Another clouded judgement
In a sky of open wounds
A tapestry of bruises that falls
Acceptance or rejection
Of something once said
A quiet wisdom has been hard won
Still doing the right things
For all the wrong reasons
With a singular intensity
Through half shut eyes you choose to see
I’ve been the wrong side of reasonable
Oh too long
As you fly solo
|

Collisions
04:59
|
|||
The agitation of the unquiet and continually judging mind
Depleted like an army in someone else's war
Let's agree to disagree
And put some skinny flesh upon these orphan bones
Should rogue emotions navigate and make their home inside of me
You who bore the hallmarks of a contented simplicity
Another languid indecision tries but I cannot translate (what it means)
You know I wont be guided only pushed
The weight of envy ''gainst these static doors
A permanent solution to a temporary problem
What is happening
Apprehension won't hide
But it's happening
Were we designed for collisions?
Cast new light on a well worn story
Gonna find new ways to see old friends
The greatest agitator won't give it up
Or at least he'll pretend
Still demanding attention
After all these years feels so undeserved
But it's happening
It's happening
I know it's happening
Were we designed for collisions?

The drowsy secret is waking up
Watch it meet the banging excesses of sound
You no longer have to keep it
Don't keep it
Wild horse unshackled free
The place we're trying to get to
Is the one we used to be
Is the one we used to be
The most intimate moment
On the grandest of scales
Patience the finest of your traits
Let it not finally fail
Albeit the public torment
Of a private man
Becoming part of what you tried
So hard to undermine
It's not over
Either alter or dissolve in time
Come rest your weary head upon my shoulder
In a bubble of modesty and humble restraint
What it is is what it isn't
All I am is what I aint
The most epic of passages
My heart to yours
There's a light across the water
There's a light inside this room
There's a light that hovers over
There's a light in side of you
A little help from you goes such a long way

The Continual Fling
05:04
|
|||
Set to eclipse all of your rivals
I've seen you close up from afar
You are so vague in conversation
So much more than they say that you are
The bellowing sound of the anvil
You.... my continual fling
I am so glad that i made it back to your house
Dream of your skin on my skin
For the spirited hunter
I know shall one day
One day catch the mythical beast
A do or die triumphalism
Has manifested....complete

The most lingering of looks
Is lingering much longer
In the time you know it took
The most permanent of sighs
Took refuge in the cheap
Exchange of slim affections
With wide open arms you say
Embrace us
The pavement you know is strewn
With tangible regret
Bottles with heads off predictably vile
Grateful for nothing but the purest of intentions
A candidness seen in your shadowy smile
But the sallow skinned pale imitation still stokes
At the ashes and embers of yesterdays hopes
The glue of a sleepy society bound
If anything goes why is nothing allowed here?
I gaze at the lines of a distant horizon
I gaze at the look on your tremulous face
Practising flattery that got us inside of here
I pray for eviction at speed without haste
Vibration come
Hypnotic bang
A community choir in the palms of my hand
Rattles the top heavy autumnal leaves
Carried down by the most disingenuous of breezes
These adrenalised legs will carry me far
The wound that's still open
One day will scar
Something got lost in translation I fear
If everyone's someone then why am I nobody here?

Friends are for a reason
A season or lifetime
The spray from distant oceans
Upon these fictional coastlines
We float on like the wind through the trees
More willing than able?
For life is a people altering substance it seems
Made it from bad to better
And I ended up some place that is inbetween
Where does a dream go she asked me
After you’ve dreamt it do you believe
I have seen
Float on like the wind through the trees
You're less willing than able?
For life is a people altering substance it seems
Love can neither be measured nor weighed only felt
The art of separation manifested within the heart of oneself
Were you taught to magnify the weakest intentions in me
Part of a new breed
You the generation extreme
Part of a new breed
You my generation extreme
A private derision ever so thinly disguised
You know that it all happened
Completely by accident and not by design
Float on like the wind through the trees
You're more willing than able?
Life is a people altering substance it seems

Marriage Of Convention
04:17
|
|||
The comparisons have inevitably started
A cacophony of noise that breathes inside my head
The mother tongue is broken what's your language
You devastate so quietly may words remain unsaid
Elusive these muted conversations
A truly awkward silence at high speed
But what resonates here most of all my darling
Are the monochrome erratic stares you bounce off me
The passing of the years will not
Enlighten this marriage of convention
Clavicle to shoulder navel to neck
The erotic constellation remains unread
The passing of the years will not
Enlighten this marriage of convention
|
||||

Just go ahead and substitute silence
For noise
Another minor distraction from a major decision
I hear your voice
You're not being chased by something
You spent your whole life running from
Secrets are something we tell everybody
To tell no one
Brittle words that break and smash
Now watch them bend and bounce right back
Wash away a tarnished memory
Like a junk shop without a single treasure
|
||||
14. |
||||
Still assessing the damage
How far should we run
Now the walls of persuasion
Come crashing down inside of you
Just a new found fascination with
The oldest of all
My regrets you know it's true
Watch us stray one more day
As the urgent takes precedence
Over the important
I hear you say
For I'll be somewhere else
Looking for something new
You're still making the deepest impression with
The faintest of sketches
All your life that has been you
Let's not stray one more day
May the urgent not take precedence
Over the important decisions
That we have to make
For I'll be somewhere else
Looking for something new

Outro - Awakens
01:57

Your vision will become clear
Only when you look
Only when you look
Into your heart
Into your heart
Who looks outside
Who looks outside
Dreams...
Who looks inside
Awakens
