From The City To The Stars
board up the door
alone, lost & sore
you hide yourself from the light
alone, lost & blind
a choice to turn away
the hunter becomes the prey
run from The City to the stars
hide inside the dark
inspired by "The City And The Stars" written by Arthur C. Clarke

Cracks

Cracks
the cracks in the pavement
they follow me down
the smiling faces
laughing too loud
the time of changes
they're talking about
was hidden under
the mushroom cloud
all those places
lost in the loud
war that rages
they say it's safe to go out
lighting the candle
it mutens the sound
of ghosts and their longing
and the cries of the hounds
like lightning
the fighting
came raining down
the cold fire
that's feeding
on the faded ground
inspired by "Far North" written by Marcel Theroux

Witch Mt.
climbing Witch Mt.
watching over the sea
moving on by starlight
searching for the key
a story told in whispers
a map that can't be seen
the battle reaching outward
searching for the key
climbing Witch Mt.
piercing through the clouds
Dancer made of thunder
moves without a sound

Obstacles
puddles of mud
and drops of cold rain
I don't want to leave
but things gonna change
I thought I'd be able
to watch the wide skies
but there were some obstacles
reducing my sight
and you said that I don't belong here
and you said that I won't be me
and you said that I just can't stay here
but watch out
watch out
the boat and the river
both floating ahead
into the ocean
there's no way back
we both need each other
like land needs the rain
and the sun that is rising
again and again

The Heather Blazing

The Heather Blazing
the light's reflected
in the water on the dirty ground
I try to catch it
but I'm only going down
and while I'm falling
it crossed my mind
I never got to watch
the stars up in the skies
the Fear is spreading
like a cancerous disease
I hear the thunder
in the distance of my dreams
my friend I warned you
about the way
that you're treading
it leads astray
another day that's cold
and ends without a change
you say you're different
but I see you're still the same
oh friend I warned you
there's still a way
to find the path
from which we came
inspired by "The Heather Blazing" written by Colm Tóibín

Suspicions Aside
suspicions aside
count me in
the peace of a smile
is where she begins
taking me in with her stride
that's where it begins
waiting and taking her time
that's how she begins
suspicions aside
they're wearing me thin
the devil outside
gets under my skin
making me follow his stride
that's where it begins
waiting and taking his time
that's how he begins
the light
that's been scouring my eyeballs
is growing all dim
