Wither Down
10:53

Begin and end and find
Slowly fade away
Waves that reach another power
Weeping every day
Who are we and what
Hills that slowly rise
All for sun and salt
Press upon the earth
To lose or win and I
Finally have a say
Hum into an empty aisle
Crash upon the way
Follow lines along
Chances of a sight
Blocked and held too long
Forget wrong or right
Collapse and wither down
Underground we try
Your call, your world, your time
I can feel inside
And one and what is mine
And are we alright
The yellow orange sky
Or blue or white
In all awe of all we are
If we're good so far
And take our final bow
From where we fall
And when I turned aside
It lashed out in a rage
So take this with you
Keep it safe
I hoped we would endure
For some time

Echo

Something
You neglected to say
Only
Place is yesterday
Walls are
Telling unheard stories
Those who
We'll never know
We remain
As image and rays
As far as the night sky burns
Like us
In the blink of an eye
Falling down
Burning up
Changing up
And no one knows our secrets
Lost in time
Movement
Across an unlit floor
Different
There's a stranger here
Tales are
Too long ago
Warm us
Through the long, cold days
Trials
Of our lives
Laughing up our woes
Sounds far away
Of engines and horns
Echo will still
Remain if we try
And keep us still here
If only time could be alive

Canyons abound
Wounds open wide
No one escapes
Won't know another's mind
Tied in place
Crashed and erased
No one hears
No one waits
Million years could not prepare for this
Strong defences peeled away like skin
Every inch along
Bear your burden well
Pick your moments without trust
Confound them with grace
Pipe dreams are flown
Staid and controlled
Common are scenes
Repeated again
Digging under
Tried to begin
Where do we land
Where does it end
I'm not a life
Unless you see me moving
Not synchronized
Not in a state of being
For this time you'll be
Like the Sun and Moon
Soon decisions made in haste
Share forgotten days

Waves of Sound
11:00
|
|
||
Play your role while you can
Jouez votre rôle
J'lai trouvé dans ces rue
Drifting far away from home
In the shape of why
Moving into night from day
With our arms above
Dancing through the ages past
Watch us disappear
And recall all that we loved
Listening from this hill
I feel the waves through me
Times now gone
And will they still sing for me
No dark or cold
Can make the sound
And young or old
We can be found
Alive

Holding on
Grasping on
Lasting all
Ours to have
Mine to have
Absorb threat
All far down
Starting out
How does the wind
Touch me so?
How does the light
Warm the soil?
Watch as my dreams
Become yours
See as it seems
You will join me
This is home
Our domain
Stop all else
Isolate
Should we
Just slow down?
All endings will come
Anyway and after all
Single solitary light
Shines
Faintly here
No more need to fight
No more need
To explain
