The Hammer And The Anvil
04:40
|

Placing my
heart between
the hammer and the anvil.
Away you make
all my demons hide.
Higher stake.
Falling in between.
A twist of fate.
Chase these thoughts away.
Away and late.
Foreseen plights.
Words of spleen.
I'll chase away your pencils.
Away you make
all my demons hide.
Higher stake.
Falling in between.
A twist of fate.
Chase these thoughts away.
Away and late.
Come here closer, you're all I'll ever want.
Walking high-
-ways unseen,
the trail is going uphill.

If he
asks about me, oh me,
tell him I'll be
with her
there where sunflowers
watch over me.
Teach me how to stop
panicking each time you take me to the top,
terrified we might both fall in a headlong,
be apart and end up back where we both belong.
I must
learn to put my trust
into your hands.
Oh lust
fills my heart with dust,
fills it with sand.

Blankets

I'm counting the days
as I try not to stray
from the way
you showed me before
you rushed to that shore
far away.
I rise and I fall
and I wait for your call
like a stone,
as mute as a wall.
I have run from it all
but the phone.
But I'm not amused
for I'm being abused
by the man that I used to be.
And I wonder
as we muster,
will it ever be the same?
And I wonder,
oh I wonder, am I sane?
I sit on the ledge
of a roof without age
in the sky,
and instead of clouds
the blankets unfolds
before my eyes.
I grab and a make
a million of flakes
out of them and I drop them on thee.
And I wonder
as we muster,
will it ever be the same?
And I wonder,
oh I wonder, am I sane?

The Riot
04:11
|
|||
|
An unforeseen riot
has taken our street
by surprise
as I rise
on my feet
and rot.
And it all seems so quiet,
your hair looks so neat,
but the lies
in disguise
melt like sleet,
call their shot.
We're banging stones
on our bones
until they're honed
and disowned
and we're shown
what we'd known,
until we moan.
I'm one of your feathers,
dangling and trussed
like a wreck
around your neck,
but what's the fuss?
We're still us.
Teenagers and elders
are laughing at us
for they dream
their weak gleam
had a pulse like ours.

After Our Life
03:56
|
|||
|
I know it looms,
my heart it tells,
for we are doomed
like everybody else.
There comes a time
when legs can't move
and bells can't chime
and hearts can't choose.
At once we'll stop
to be, to breathe,
and off we'll chop
each other's memories.
Just guess how sad
and guess how weary
and guess how mad
we both will be.
When nothing's left
but our regrets
and deepened clefts
and dimlit sets,
will we behave?
Will we believe
in what we have
or will we grieve?
It freezes my
heart to know
we both will die
and die alone.
After our life,
what will we keep?
Beyond all strife,
beyond our sleep,
I'll hold your smile
as a keepsake
and wonder why
it was not fake.
