You shouldn’t have to pass that way.
You shouldn’t have to pass away.
It is not growing like a tree
In bulk doth make Man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it fall and die that night—
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see;
And in short measures life may perfect be.
You shouldn’t have to pass that way.
You shouldn’t have to pass away.

Shelter
03:19
|
|||
|
I don’t recognize you
I don’t know you now
Part of my life
Is what you cut out
Think about a future
Based upon a past
You may ease the pain
But it will not last

Essence
05:41
|
|||
|
Your truth lies here
Between two lines
Where colours blend
And silence reigns
Take a deep breath
An endless breath
That fills your lungs
Boundless
Weightless, timeless, bodyless
An essence.
When noise prevails
Obscures your thoughts
Running at once
In all directions
Look for this point
Your point of truth
Where everything starts
And everything ends
Weightless, timeless, bodyless
An essence.

Happiness
04:28
|
|||
|
I’ve been asleep for many years
My senses clogged by unknown fears
In this unconscious state of mind
Just carried on thinking everything’s fine
But now I’ve had
A little peek
A subtle nudge
A hidden sense
In the midst of the forest
I call your name
Don’t know if you feel the same
My eyes wide open
My mind alert
Sensing the changes
That I observe
A sudden depth
The slightest shift
Has stirred a bud
And watered it
And now a thirst, a thirst for life
Is humming through my eager eyes
Happiness is here for you baby
Find happiness

Things That Scan

|
I won’t try to set it down here
The rhythm of that heartbeat
Pulsing on the grey-black screen
In the basement where they had you
Wheeled down
Your concern for meter
Will go disregarded
There will be no rhythm or rhyme
No reason for why a beat follows a beat
Except that it does
And it does.
And so there will be no metaphors
And we will have no symbols
There will be no imagery
Except one,
That one on the grey-black screen
Our composition

Words Unspoken
05:06
|
|||
|
I hope I’m not lost anymore
I hope you’re not lost anymore
I was mad at you
You were mad at me
Words that should be left unspoken

All Together Now
04:04
|
|||
|
Glittering lights on the horizon
Neon blue meets moving clouds
We all have the urge
To touch the divine
To ease our fears with belief
To hold on to something big.
Helpless state
Want to take the easy way
Close your eyes
Be a victim of your life
Peace spreads in small moments
Of gratitude
I feel all together now.

Noble Nature
05:14
|
|||
|
You’re still around
You’re safe and sound.
It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be
Or standing long an oak three hundred year
To fall a log at last, dry, bald and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night
It was the plant and flower of light
In small proportions we great beauties see
And in short measure life may perfect be.
