To Catch a Lizard
03:27

Why have I left you, tradition and the theme
Communications from an alien
The inner realm of the dream
I said blessings over candle sticks
Wished good health for my doves
I felt warm, I felt chills, I felt love
When I was a boy, I asked God, help me to catch a lizard
Who heard me?
Now I find everything is cyclical, except love
Just when you’re at the peak
Comes the lightening from above
Why do I obfuscate myself?
It’s so hard to be that boy
Take a breath, close my eyes, feel the joy
Why have I left you? There is so much pain down here
To see through illusions is so hard, oh so hard
I said blessings over candle sticks
Wished good health for my doves
I felt warm, I felt chills, I felt love

Orion
04:14

Down the hall, and to the left
Did some one leave the light on?
So many years I have been thinking of
The stars that form Orion
You came to teach, you came to heal
The patterns of your reasoning
Whatever thought forms you’d been thinking of
Need a bit of seasoning
I can wait for
So many times I’ve lived
And many times I’ve died
Don’t feel so lost, it’s all a lesson
I really don’t know nothing
All that love I had been dreaming of
Was popping out like stuffing
Looking back, at prior years
Who was there to confide in?
I guess I knew the light-work came with this
There are dragons I am hiding
I can wait for
So many times I’ve lived
And many times I’ve died
Down the hall, and to the left
Did some one leave the light on?
So many years I have been thinking of
The stars that form Orion

Elegy
04:20
|
|||
|
Who’s there to know?
I feel so low, levity
I’ll take a swim
I need to feel, therapy
You’re white as snow
Come cool me down, heavenly
My remedy
You were a friend
But now we are, enemies
It’s all for show
Dead long ago, an elegy
Why sympathize
These aren’t my eyes, that cry for me
My melody

New Jerusalem
03:39
|
|||
|
I will never play you
Into my arms betray you
Erase or rename you
I won’t try to sway you
The flooding of love will save you
When there’s nothing left but the light
The memory will be more
So listen, dear and open your eyes
New Jerusalem’s at the door
I profess I serve you
Like aeons of stone that stand true
Hear trumpets proclaim you
Who could ever doubt you?
The flooding of love will save you
When there’s nothing left but the light
The memory will be more
So listen, dear and open your eyes
New Jerusalem’s at the door

In Ashes
04:08
|

How can I filter out everything?
I want a life I can trust
Instead of glitzed-up bullshit and idols made of dust
And through my window of solitude I wish for
Birdsong and Sun to lift my gaze
Instead of billboards, incandescent buildings, smoke and haze
The sword is unforgiving, so accept that it will slay
Each day there are these moments, in time they all decay
When she accepts my fading wish, I know what she will say
I love you, and like the burning bush, in ashes we will lay
In ashes we all lay
I don’t want to be a platinum person
That looks and tastes like all the rest
Let me stay silver and black, filmed in action, unpossessed
How can I release everything?
When I take in what isn’t mine
All I’m searching for in this life is peace of mind
The sword is unforgiving, so accept that it will slay
Each day there are these moments, in time they all decay
When she accepts my fading wish, I know what she will say
I love you, and like the burning bush, in ashes we will lay
In ashes we all lay

Badlands
04:50
|

|
Now and again I see lonely old men as they sit in the park
And I learn that each season’s a reason for change, it’s gradual
Wild-eyed and waning, the moon starts to fade like a scar in the sky
How I look up above, the clouds are all grey, it’s gradual
I won’t accept that my ideals aren’t real, though it’s forced in my face
And my sins and regrets are sacred to me, its gradual
Time and again I let go of old friends, say goodbye again
As seasons progress, in a cycle of waves, so gradual
If I was just given a finite amount of words in a life,
Would I hold my breath? or consciously pay, it’s gradual
I miss the plains, and the badlands Alberta, whose canyons expose
Ancient old bones, its a past that remains, it’s gradual
Leave this empty place

Ascension Days
04:41
|
|||
|
Jesus asked and I was one to follow
Clearing all the wicked that had spread
Someday he took a passage to a hollow
Where burning bush so eloquently said:
Good wood and tall grass
Green fields everglades
The cycle of cold rock is end
Count your days
Ascension days
Like golden kingdom made from lead
Evil eye could see a change was brewing
How to trick the masses in their heads
Making war and symbols used for fooling
But the towers were their coffins in the end
Look now within
Heaven’s all around
The New Jerusalem sitting high
Count your days
Ascension days
When all the teachers will arrive
The paradigm is cracking and its breaking
How to move a wheel that’s full of rust?
The structure, once infallible, now shaking
Cause truth be told, the truth belongs with us
Cherish these days
Heaven’s all around
Death, resurrection and the storm
Count your days
Ascension days
The new human to reform
