CATHERINE

We were trading faces
You would be me and I would be somebody else
A dangerous game we're playing
The papers burning
Big black bubbles and the thick black smoke we breathe
The death of something sacred
I can't escape you
We became one in the same
Yet there's a sea between us
I can't escape you
We became something so strange
We feel so safe together but
Catherine, why must you change
We sleep for ages and wake up to do it again
Talking nonsense
Drinking martinis and whiskeys all day
Catherine, why must you change
The summer's racing
The summer's racing away
Catherine, why must you change
I see you leaving
Somehow I need you to stay
You're still a part of me
Despite your jealous rage
Catherine, why must you change
Marita, laying in my bed
Thank god I found you
Majestic, me dear friend
They took you away
The summer's racing
The summer's racing away

HERE IS PRESENT
04:03

Consciousness
I feel my limbs
Eyes are open
Light rushes in
Lungs are filling
Chest goes thump
Lids continue rising up
Do the things
I think I should
Try me best
Misunderstood
My cranky mood
Just passing feeling
Rhyme or reason
Staying/leaving
Air is moving
Cold to hot
My fingers touching
Buttons/knobs
Whatever's there
In front of me
Could change tomorrow
Too far to see
Remember life
What life was like
Before this moment
Picture show
Behind my eyes
Reminds me that
There was a past
As flat as flat
Seconds passing
Out of time
Into an abyss of time
Day is fleeting
Try to rest
Feel the weight and
Soon to rest
Distract myself
Distract my feelings
To something else
And look who's watching
People talking in the distance
Where tires are grinding
Through resistance
Into the hollow darkness void
Into milk of thoughtless time
Here is present
Here is strangeness
Mark the days
Search for pleasures
I forgot you for a moment
Now I see you
Sharp and stagnant
Kill the lights
Kill the cells
They grow again
In something else
I think I felt you
Just a moment
Something struck me
Thimble pin prick
Out of mind and
Into storage
I'm wandering around
In a field that's full of dirt

I KNOW THESE MONSTERS
04:58
|
|||
|
Lightning in the distance
Thunder overhead
Nightmares flash before me
Echoes of the dead
Somewhere there's sunshine
Somewhere there's no pain
You go before me
Spirits guide our way
Listen Listen
To the footsteps approaching
I know these monsters
I know them well
Silence Silence
Silence be our friend
Silence while we're walking
Angels overhead
Oh
By the way
We will get there
When we get there
Here we are
Come so far
There were dangers right from the start
But finally we can see
There's a future for you and me
I know these monsters
I know them too well
And they're not going to get me
They're not going to drag me down

JACK FROST

Finally they found me
Bony fingers of an old man dead
Fairy tales forgotten
Now monopolize my head
Heard it first at 3am
Woke up climbed out of bed
But there was nothing at the door
Howling in the branches
Rattling the floor
But I don't want to go there and
I don't want to know his name
His frost is on the forest floor
And in the budding trees
Quiet of the evening is shattered
By this old house's joints
Remember that you're missing
Back home to mother hen
Tried so hard to find yourself
Make something of what he left
But couldn't get your head back in line
Drunk on all your wishes
Forgetting all of mine
But I don't want to go there and
I don't want to know his name
His frost is on the forest floor
It's creeping towards my door
Jack Frost is in the clouds
Jack Frost is in the clouds

TO THE SHORES
03:35
|

|
Don't look back
Over your shoulders
Forest leaves
Crackle and smolder
But I'm OK
Won't let the fires persuade me
To crumble away
Charred like the black surroundings
Carry you away
I carry you to a safer harbor
Standing in the waves
We smile as the birds come
Soaring over
Carry you away
I carry you to a safer harbor
Don't be afraid, my darling
Try to control
All that's unfolding
The seas that roll
Cancers that are forming
Under attack
We clash on the fields of fortune
The world turns black
Falling in and out of focus
Carry you away
I carry to the place we come from
Sitting the shade we smile as the birds come
Soaring over
Carry you away
I carry you to a safer harbor
Don't be afraid, my darling
I swear we'll make it
To the shores where we're escaping

JUGGERNAUT
03:36
|
|||
|
Routine, the paths that we are walking
The people that we're talking to
The way you do your hair
Straight and long
Weeks are hurrying to leave us
Trying to make sense of
Why our present feels like times long gone
Riding on the juggernaut
You are by my side watching
Never in the same spot
Hurtling through space we try to
Make out lines and shapes of
People and places
So many shades of
Colors that fly apart
We are shooting stars
Stay right by my side
It's so much easier when you're here
From the center we stare at the
Blurring unthinkable masses of Earth
Try to realize we're small things
Moving through a huge maze
Fraught with perils waiting round the bend
But we can't stop this thing from moving
Take it out of cruise control
Barreling into the futures folds
Flying on this juggernaut
A wave of blurry smiles are gawking
Recognize me recognizing I don't recognize
what we are seeing
Could I be dreaming
I'd love to slow my breathing
But these marvels
Won't let my lungs slow down
On Friday night I might drown
Stay right by my side
It's so much easier when you're here
From the center we stare at the
blurring unthinkable masses of Earth you

THE GATHERING
04:55
|
|||
|
I never felt so free
I never had choice
The storm approaches fast
Your eyes dim
Who loves you the most?
Your hands tied
All the torches ablaze
The shadows approach
With their eyes red
Their flowing cloaks
Remember what I said
Remember
That I don't care
For fortune or for fame
That I don't care
But they're close now
Their breathing is loud
The tremors shake down these walls
