1. As I see your face
I see 12 billion years of beauty reflected in your smile
Light plays in bends and angles
Shading in, shading out
The subtleties
In gradients of white and gray
Distracting, provocative, disturbing
my understanding
I can perceive seems
Yet so limited, so unknown.
Nothing else to go on
Must I accept it or reject it?
2. Bright-eyed girl what would you do if someone tore your world in two
Into an asymmetrical division of time and space
I can live my life in shades of grey
I don’t need the absolutes
I’m in between anyways
No rigid structure
Can change what something is
Take it whats good for
And leave it for what it isn’t
Underneath it all, you were planning
Your smiling face, my failing grace
And I failed to see
Your dark plans, this hole you’ve dug
This trap you’ve set for me
3. Wake after the sun has set
Out of darkness rising now
I pressed my eyes closer
I felt your hand wrap tighter
Warm though the wind is blowing
Progress maybe but change for certain
Rain and mist, abstract clarity
These rising patterns, fractals of familiarity
We’ve seen this all before
Different faces and different places but
We’ve seen this all before
4. Lean back and turn the dial
Remember to breath and don’t forget to smile
Sun clock falters while the rain pours down
If they only knew what you knew they would try to bring you down
Powdered wigs cover heads here
Petticoats, no mini-skirts and my brain hurts from the lack of flesh
Over stimulated and underdeveloped
Evolution hasn’t caught up with the trends
So my understanding bends so I can survive
In the wrong time at the right place
5. Exhaustion helps me keep my mind off the day
I’d like to think something is going to change
But it’s all up to me
And I can barely breath
I was banking on it happening just for me
I never remember how I got to where I am
The secret, sliding dream mirrors state requiem
Although I cannot find a cure
Passive mourning seems premature
I run so I can sleep tonight
6. Here I will find
A rhythm to the motion
A habit in velocity
Restless wonder, wander free
Wind is hurried
Dust in the breeze
Complacent staring, taking over me
And I turn, my sojourn into the sunset
Walk towards the sea
And I’m going west to find happiness
In a place where I can breathe
7. I sing this song for me and no one else
If you want to listen I don’t really care at all
Life, a machination, illusionary equation
It doesn’t exist at all
You might find meaning and that’s fine by me
Relate to it if you will
I’m not here to impress or depress you
I’m just doing what makes me, me
This is all real to me
I’m not trying to prove a thing
And when I sing, I sing to me
In my mind, in my time I can find a space
That lets me be at peace
Just stay away, I don’t play for you anymore
This is for me and no one else
8. Reconcile your reward for your actions
Addiction to recompense resurrected
Your appetite can never be sated
Cycles like this are not soon abated
We are not there, they are not we, we are not he
We have no idea what it is like
How can we even see objectively
How it is to live life that precariously
When it all comes to mind
You’ll wake to find
We are all just a dream
Stop taking life so seriously
9. I, me, You
I, me, who?
Oh, oh Silo
Tripped to my
Tripped to me
Oh, oh silo
Float along
Feel the breeze
Oh, oh silo
Raise the sail
Cross the seas
Oh, oh silo
So poor print
So rich read
Oh oh Silo
Azure scent, tea
Bless me
10. Sit here with me
And watch the trees breathe
Pine scale pattern repeat endlessly
Lazing in a vibrant sea of green
As this forest, sings a melody
Cold winds come
Though memory fades
Seasons change
And nothing remains the same
Orange and yellow, under this blue blanket dancing
Stirred up this joy in me
This time I can take that with me
I see what I can be
11. Separated from fact
Reality equals fiction these days
Another ploy to enjoy
Take our minds away
Connect back to myself
I can’t feel what used to seem normal
Further from myself
Coming down, coming back again
Trade an hour of bliss
Worry, free from knowing
Breathing became my rest
Every moment slowing
Everybody is me
Me, is everybody
A little bit hyper. Number 9 is about mushrooms I think.
Peace,
PL
