When there’s not enough time,
There’s always whiskey and wine.
When the well is a-runnin-runnin dry,
Then you try to try to try to try to try
When the day’s dragging on,
There’s always some kind of little song.
When you ain’t got nothin’,
Ain’t nothing sting, nothing, nothing, nothing.
I am open to seeing words but I’m not listening.
The distance between the self and sense
Is longer than the way to your door.
The trees are louder than your small talk,
But you have so much to say, and
I don’t hear a word above the earth that heaves beneath my feet.
Raise your glass even if it be empty.
Bet your ass these days will be plenty and there’s
No use using your fuel for fear.
You’ve just been snoozin’.
Wont you wake up my dear?

I am open to seeing words but I’m not listening.
The distance between the self and sense is
Longer than the way to your door.
The trees are louder than your small talk,
But your have so much to say, and
I don’t hear a word above the earth that heaves beneath my feet.
Come down below the skin of the air!
I am building a taller wall around the village ground.
The time will come when no one in the houses can see anything
Beyond the inner side
Is painted yellow to remind them of the sun.
As the wall is rising higher, curving over, shutting in.
Come down below the skin of the air!
I am echoing myself inside the strong hold,
Conversing with my counterparts on
Thoughts about the outside looking in.
Within, between our own defenses,
Blocking waves of empathy.
Should it break the light comes
Running down and over into us.

Awake/Sun After Rain

When my eyes open,
Take it easy now, turn the light off
They tell me I'm not ready for this day
Ain't nobody got a word they wanna tell me
They roll on back into my head
Go to sleep.
Pay no attention
To the things I say when I need to sleep
To the lies I'm eating as we talk
Can't you see every word is only half a meaning
To what I am and what we should be
Go to sleep.
You're falling behind
When someone else has got what you don't
When you can't feel the contrast of night and day
When your mind is numb from feeling too much
You tell yourself its not worth your time
Oh, it's not worth your time
Go to sleep.
The sun after rain will come
When strangers form a band of babbling harmonies
No more monotony, just a series of
Waves of Light and Sound
And the band never ceases to emit
The sunshine around their stage
In the sun after rain,
The sun after rain will come
The sun after rain will come
When the hero breaks the pattern
The king of perpetual change will decide
When it's time for it to be what it is and
What it used to be now that
We're all gathered here on the grass in the sun
In the sun after rain,
The sun after rain will come
The sun after rain will come
When you've spoiled the day waiting
And the vessel of worry sails out of your skull
And I'm trying to hold you together, while
Pulling a caustic strand from your head
And so I stop, so you don't unravel
I had to stop, so you don't unravel
In the sun after rain,
The sun after rain will come

"COLORS"
All of the seeing
But you're nothing I can hear
I like talking talking to pigments
So why do we fear
Comfortable hues of a room we hold dear?
Colors (colors)
Chromacity, you're to good to me
A stain on my iris, the way I perceive
The glowing of the textures,
Coalescent trees
Colors (colors)
