bright lights blinding
darkness embodies long nights spent
fearful seeking soul
souls to try to be
dive down deep ocean dreams
safety comfort i long for sleep
what’s real?
how can i be?
i can’t breathe
follow me, follow me down
i can’t breathe
follow me down cavernous well
connection of the heart that we find
deeply embedded in the truth that we are trying to move through time
it’s not a place even if i find words
how can we sit amongst fallen kings
bones and ships and left pieces of things
i have seen bottom
bottom of that which has been left
i can’t breathe
follow me, follow me down
i can’t breathe
follow me down cavernous well
cavernous, cavernous we swim so late
i can’t breathe
follow me, follow me down
i can’t breathe
follow me down cavernous well

they came barreling toward my door
your words, your open sores
i asked, “what can i do for you?”
it’s been so long since i saw you last
how can you open your heart so fast?
i didn’t, i didn’t, i didn’t want it to be so clear
it’s cold in here
i didn’t, i didn’t, i didn’t want it to be so clear
it’s cold in here
i will not go out in that storm with you
i will not go
kicking and screaming this dragging so low of you
through unexpected snow
i swept out your belongings
i’ve nothing left of you for you for me
the cold it covered your sores
it numbed your wounds
i think you’ll be better soon
i will not go out in that storm with you
i will not go
kicking and screaming this dragging so low of you
through unexpected snow

she’s promised to a man who takes her heart but not her hand
he spends his days in holy books repenting for her sin
“grace is made on sundays”, he says
she comes in waves cursing his name
she comes in waves burning profane
“all the things i want to do i’ve promised not to you”
he spends his nights with filthy screens rejecting what he sees
“grace is saved for mondays”, he says
she comes in waves screaming his name
she comes in waves miles away

i can it plainer, i can make it worth your rage
i can make it funny, but it can’t be changed
we are all of the sudden raised up at last
go ahead take another breath cause we’re going too fast
no we’re never gonna make it
why are you so helpless?
don’t know what to do
if we were in the wild i could have beaten you
beaten you
no we’re never gonna make it

he took her up into the canyon
he couldn't watch as she was stumblin
she knelt down to breathe in the cool night air
they went on up into the canyon
she was tough but she was clearly stumblin
as he whispered in the cool night air
what makes you bleed, my love?
what makes you bleed, my love?
little billy and his nanny
locked horns when they out ran me
the rugged path that they were wending
left me short of breath, bent over sweating
by a tomb with a stone pushed back and graffitied walls
what makes you bleed, my love?
what makes you bleed, my love?
when i awoke i was panting
reaching out for you, you put your hand down
on my shivering arms in the cool night air
i had a smoke to calm my feelings
took a bath and started weeping
from what I saw in the mirror in the cool night air
what makes you bleed, my love?
what makes you bleed, my love?

in the shallow we wade though our past future chances
we see threads and roads that stretch throughout our understanding
in the moonlight she scan across vast distances to find us
her song echoes out to each of our many edges
sinking ships, lost sailors
beyond this world do they find each other?
sinking ships, lost sailors
beyond this world do they come together?
in the pondering of possibility surrender or to hold on tightly
in the promise of that future that could be so softly sweet
can we reach that world beyond?
is it available to our own kind?
we are made flesh and bone but can we join their ranks in time?
sinking ships, lost sailors
beyond this world do they find each other?
sinking ships, lost sailors
beyond this world do they come together?
deep strengths and our lost prayers
will we find them buried beneath layers?
and our feeble strengths, our deep hidden truths
will we find them under the water?
and she calls in the basking moonlight of her beauty
and the song is the answer to our prayers and longing
and she calls in the basking moonlight of her beauty
and the song is the answer to our prayers and longing
and we see through new eyes

you will never be alone
my house was not a home
you wander though the night
i’ll haunt you
i hear what they say that i did but
you know that i made you
you pay my cost
and i know you got it, got it
all the love you wanted, wanted
everything you’ve got i’ll take away
Lyrics by Jeremy Wilkins

you could have made this so much easier
but you were just a child
you swam inside those deep and black cold caves
looking for a place to hide
you know that you are worn down
you know that’s the last sound
count breath, don’t stop now
you can break out of shallow
you know that you are worn down
you know that’s the last sound
count breath, don’t stop now
you can break out
you heard your poison in that mirror
set your focused eyes and climb
you know that you are worn down
you know that’s the last sound
count breath, don’t stop now
you can break out of shallow
you know that you are worn down
you know that’s the last sound
count breath, don’t stop now
you can break out

When I Go Deaf

when i go deaf
i won't even mind
yeah, l'll be alright
and i'll be just fine
i'll stay out all night
looking at the sky
i'll still have my sight
yeah, i'll still have my eyes
and we will make love
we won't have to fight
we won't have to speak
and we won't have to lie
and I'll stop writing songs
stop scratching out lines
i won't have to fake
and it won't have to rhyme
when i go deaf

i love to lead when i don't know where i'm heading
i love the sound of the steel wearing down the breaking ground
of my new bedding
i crave the brake, i crave the wheel
i hold the stopping and turning under my hand and heel
is that even real?
there's a short road
there's a long road
i don't belong to either
can i just be the writer?
i pick the pyre, i douse the tinder
i rouse the flames higher and higher till it's gone
and wonder how it all expired
there's a short road
there's a long road
i don't belong to either
can i just be the writer?

breath and the way it moves across my chest
the weightlessness between the one thing and the next
with one foot in the stream the other preparing to take a step
something compels me to move forward through uncertainty at best
and in the delicate balance we hang
possible outcomes, fear, hope, and sense of bigger things
curiosity drives the ship, it’s light a beacon
something to set our sights on, a promise of deeper meaning
and the pause in the dark connects us with our true hearts
we have all the power that we need
and the song that we hear, the fountain of knowledge is embedded here
we are bringing it back, bringing it back
i think of myself as a tree
roots deep down in the ground
branches reaching up to the stars, the heavens
we are in-between these places
pulled into many different directions
considering the possibility of witnessing time at a slower speed
we are in our breath
we are a pause between
and the songs that we’ve known start to shift, to unravel
journey deeper into the soul
we are still seeking the mysterious unknown
and beyond our little worlds
we can follow the stream, the roads to other realms
finally returning to where we belong
knowing we can choose which path to get on
and the pause in the dark connects us with our true hearts
we have all the power that we need
and the song that we hear, the fountain of knowledge is embedded here
we are bringing it back, bringing it back
and the pause in the dark connects us with our true hearts
we are bringing it back, bringing it back
and the song that we hear, the fountain of knowledge is embedded here
we have all the power that we need

Casino

after a life in the casino
we know that gambling is a joke
to say i'm not here for the money
is just another word for broke
one room for us
one room for both of us
one room for us
is not available
there's something wrong
there's something wrong
there's something wrong
you don't tell me
there's something wrong
there's something wrong
with me
see the dice roll into nothing
see the dice roll just like me
and when the stars fall off the ceiling
they roll in to the sea
one room for us
one room for both of us
one room for us
is not available
there's something wrong
there's something wrong
there's something wrong
you don't tell me
there's something wrong
there's something wrong
with me

going toward, going beyond
each day brings another long drawn breath
what about the future?
what about the past?
moving slow but way too fast
and the dust that gathers on old forgotten dreams
that’s what my eyes need to see to wipe the slate clean
Lyrics by Lynne Piper

being a part of time
being alone to find i’ve been sinking
and i don’t always want to climb
out of this ever changing world
i feel so often left behind
stray into the room
collect minimize and mingle
keep with the message
drink some wine
find some new routine and stay connected
stay connected to being alive
don’t worry about what’s coming
don’t worry about what’s already done
collect yourself and be a part of what’s in this moment
in this moment
in this moment in time
in this moment
