Shelf Life Vermillion

"So how's the shelf life doing?"
Asks the Cradle of the Sun
"How can you be so bored and lonely
When it's clear you're not alone?
This rapunzel is afire
So I can't just lend you my hair
But don't just lay down and die sir
It's like you're already there--"
Is it passion or entrapment?
I can't quite suss it out
Juggling all this Magic
With these weeks of work and doubt
Your eyes lit like vermillion
A little more i long to see
You can do it clean or dirty
But either way
You can't be free
So make the choice you've got to make
And do your best to watch for us
To watch for you and me
Take back all the blame
I don't want it anyway
Take back all the shame
I don't want it anyway
Take back all the pain
I don't want it anyway
Give me back my name
I never gave it away
Give me back my name
It was never yours to take

i loved it much more than I think you know
does that come as a surprise to you?
But this is not about bitterness or confidence
Or any confusion of the two
I think this is about pride somehow
More than it is about trust
Well I can leave mine at the door
If you can learn to listen and digest
I'm only going to ask this once
but WHERE the FUCK do you get off? O.o
carrying that grudge around aiming
it at anyone you can
don't your shoulders get a little sore?
Well I don't want to carry it around no more
A real boss don't have to be a boss to get ahead
he's only gotta be the man
and it ain't fair for you to throw that back at me my friend
can't you see me, I am doing what i can
Doesn't it bother you when all your friends
keep passing you back all your cigars?
It's not as if it makes me happy
when I hear you aren't doing well
I just get so fucking angry when i see us burning bridges full of cars
So hear me now and take this chance to believe me
I never ever stole from you
I reserve the right to be confused
And I don't think that we deserve to lose
Doesn't coldness get a little old?
Well I don't want to carry it around in my soul no more

Nature Isn't Wallpaper

O i can breathe - howl :D
We Will Make Cracks
and We Will Grow
there's no cement in this world
that could ever stop our flow
so one day just not too long ago i walked into the cafe
mother nature was just sitting there digging oil from outofher sake
and you know that she crept up to me and whispered in my ear
"eat ... the ... rich"
and then i said
"Why not just fix things? For all and for good?
- god forbid we lead the way to forgive -"
(You think it's so simple, don't you?)
she said
OK
i can do that
but you've gotta promise me
you're going to Remember One Thing
Nature Is Not Wallpaper

I-fi
Wireless
Fidelity for sky
Your I
Powerless and infinite
As mine
this song
or death
beyond the final breath
We speak the truth Sometimes
like Myth Chord Mountains
sine wave hills
the Dots are all out tonight
it's Time to not quite get my fill
i can't wait to hold
your hand in mine
i will wait right here just out of Time
i can't wait to hold
your hand in mine
i will wait right here just out of Line
...So you're going on your little adventure now
don't forget your bag of meaning
Last time you forgot it somehow
o it's no surprise...
you only read between the lines
Oh look you've got me talking to myself again
Bubbling on nothing
Churning on ideas
They start yeah they never end
o it's no surprise
you don't see the lines with those eyes
do you?
Why not just take me with you?
I've never had more in my life before
What better time to throw it all away...
Why must you pull and taunt me?
You fill my mind up so much but won't even leave
One thing to say
o it's no surprise
You see through my eyes
Do you still want to follow me to higher ground?

Beautiful and True

East of the Garden of Eden
we Shattered our illusions
and then Cropped up some of our own
Outside the tiles of
Generation Y Not
Which until now we thought was home
Well I may not now see
the Beauty of the still life
you Were so kind to show to me
just give me some time my love
to chat up the woodcarver for a while
and i may think me born a son
i will never stop
no i will never ever ever ever ever stop :p
so Now that we are apart my love
i cannot imagine a better way to spend our Lives
the lonely valley adventure
or the hungry hum of dementia
the solution and the problem both are Time
sands of the Earth all blow away
whether in Africa or Asia
to the Tune of galacial facial lines
an apple's always in search of its core
what are all the sculptors of the earth all Searching for?
That they must delve so deep in rock
i will never stop
Speaking in Riddles
i will never stop
Making Up Words
i will never stop
Humming b/t Bars
i will never stop
Sounding abSurd
i will never stop
Sharpening up Horns
i will never stop
Hauling My urn
cuz i will never ever ever ever stop Love
process
i merely process
you are all that you are to me
we had a child
and it was me

crystallize
dear Crystalline
bring to us your finest wine
the cuts are choice
the mettle's fine
I'm sure that all you need is Time
cuz you're a staple
in this thing we call Humanity
doesn't matter what they cannot see
when they love to be blind
you're such an angel
you look it so there with those crystal wings
i see them on you every time you sing
don't even have to close my eyes
even if sometimes
you're like the fucking devil
so crystallize
dear Crystalline
bring to us your finest rhyme
the beats are choice
the metal's flyin'
i'm sure that all you need now
is Time

Don't Be Broken

he told me don't be broken
but he threw me to the wolves
well it works alright
and for my part
i think i understood
well when nothing says forever
still can make this good
so like a prayer for the dawning
whatever is i will let be
let the morning light
sing its song
to your silent poetry
while i wave to the departing
dying parts of me
now he tells them don't be broken
when he throws you to the wolves
but will it work alright?
and for his part
i doubt they understood
he can never say forever
but he still can make this good

In the Eye Of
08:54

throw your bones into my pail
be happy someone's meant to fail
don't have to expose the irony
to somehow set wind in my sail
just leave me off your radar sir
all i want's to talk to her
haven bound and quite in turn
to touch the stars from which we hail
Sow the seeds with make believe
Plant them on the path to peace
Don't deny what your eyes see
the Dream is only half the Dream
Spacey Spizzy Sis Spacedizzy
Isn't quite the problem is she?
Knows things you could never learn
made Her choice - spent Her turn
Bends her ear intent to listen
as Freedom sheds its definition
* * *
"To people of good judgement
Every beauty seen here resembles
More than anything else does
That merciful fountain
From which we all derive ~
My eyes, desirous of beautiful things
And my soul, likewise
Of its salvation
Have no other means to rise to heaven
Then to gaze on all such things"
- Michaelangelo

just one more step
is left to go
before the next step comes
won't you take this step
with me my love?
take this step with me
when you see a wave
don't you see it wavering?
what motion's not a wave my love
what motion's not a wave?
and don't the ocean feel like home?
up and down though it may be
but who are we to say
we are not home inside a wave?
a wave...
so one more step
is left to go
before the next step comes
won't you take this step
with me my love?
take this step with me
and when the wave pulls back
don't it pull your soul to sea?
don't it feel like it won't come back
my love it feels that way to me...
so shall we huddle round
this light we have
together bear Moon's gravity
for who are we to say
we are not home inside this wave
this wave...
so won't you take this step with me?
and I Don't Care what comes Next
Just come there with me
and I don't care...
