- Crushed
And we don't choose what we feel
Only what we show
And what is shown is seldom real
Now there's a battle raging inside
Behind what is, what should,
What could cannot
To have and hold, as spoken
- Drinking a Drown
Against the waves racing headstrong
Into the foam and spray and wrong
Against the rocks crashing headlong
Drawn by a Siren's sound & song
Run aground again and again and
Broken and coming apart
Guided by stars in my eyes
- Eating Me Alive
I was dreaming when I fell asleep with my eyes alive
They strained to see the darkness
I was waking when I reached for you
And knew we'd reached an ending
Erase the cold embraces placing empty days on grand displays
I know I’m wandering
When feeling like I’m lost is home
- Elsewhere
If there's a look in my eye that's like I'm elsewhere
And if it seems like I am distant, it's because I am
There are weights and measures drawn and lifted
But there are no words strong enough to bear this load
It's like I'm trapped in your glances
It’s like I’m frozen in fire
It's like I'm hanging on nothing…"It's nothing"
- Heal the Spring
Standing in her winter coat
Through wisp of wooden hair
Her leafless stare
Comfort in her cooling breath
A gasp of cold has stayed
The warming days
And all I've known
- Seventy Times Seven
Silently, you come to me in apology unspoken
Broken and with eyes cast down, without a sound
It’s the very thing we love that brings
All the greatest pain upon us
But seventy times seven is how many times
That’s how many times love forgives
Built of something not of brick and mortar
- The Shallow End
We glide below our shimmered sheathing
And sink beneath in dreams of breathing
Belabored lungs are spent and heaving
A plane above that cleaves the sheening
Filled with woe and veiled with laughter
What beamed before, lusterless after
I saw you there splashing then
- You're Like The Rain
I watch the rain descend like curtains
In drapes, like shapes in capes and dancing
On peppered sheets of specks
That join to paint the pavement
You covered me
You've wet the dust
You're like the rain
