Thirteen months in a year
Another day, another fear
Eleven years, not one decayed
The circuits break, the wire’s frayed
And I said oh, well maybe you could use a break
And you said no, I had some words you couldn’t shake
Likewise
Thirteen months in a year
Another week, another fear
Eleven years, not one decayed
Where was all the time displayed?
And I said oh, well maybe you could use a break
And you said no, I had some words you couldn’t shake
And I said no, you haven’t heard? It’s give and take
And you said oh, well I think that’s a big mistake

I knew the people in the door
They were looking
I know they saw me floating off
In another space
I blew the hinges off the door
And I flew through
What you call it doesn't matter
It's all the same
We both know
You're just an empty frame

Hold me in your arms
Oh could you mold me into little swarms
Of feeling unsuppressed
Yeah, alive and not depressed
Could you press me into bits and pieces
Deftly reaching into my impeachable offense
Help me stave off every breach into the fence
No more teaching on the beach
Yeah no beseeching of good friends
No more leeching off a peach or two
I gave it up for Lent
No more Nietzsche, no abyss
Yeah just a murky hole to vent
No abyss, yeah, just a hole to vent

Please forget about the chair
It’s not important like the air
The summer of sledgehammer arrived
But it’s important to be alive
Is it still important to be alive?
You spread your lie across the arctic
The anger’s melting off your face

Shadow of the river, I tried to wade
Got carried along like spectral waste
I raise my arms and try to wait
Just floating on to find a mate
Nice old job but how's it pay?
It's a nice old life but it won't stay
You can fight the river to have your way
But why not just enjoy today?
Shadow of the dam, I tried to wade
But I got blocked off by my mental state
I cry for nothing, oh what a trade
It's sticks and stones, just call it fate
I went fishing but I lost the bait
I made mistakes, no mistakes were made
It'll all flow over, you can save the date
Just close your eyes when you cross the gate
Shadow of the hand, it's in the way
If you block the sun, it's still the day
You can wag your finger at the rays
Or thumb your nose and sniff away
Every night I miss the taste
So I kiss my pipe and shield my face
Is this real life or just a race?
I flap my arms but stay in place
Shadow of the other, it's in the way
I find some words but I can't say
I made my mind, no mind was made
I lost the point, go find some shade
Seventeen months in a forest of jade
Then seventeen years in a puddle of hate
I lost the words, the words they may
Be caught in the haze of your
Shape

Panoramic vision of the city
Visualize the shapes inside the frame
Signifying someone and/or something
We can see it now, don’t wait
Hexagon
The shapes belong
Hexagon
It won't last long
Pattern at the edge of our design
It reflects a prism, noble and divine
Accelerate division of our dreams
The dawn will bring us out of the machine
Hexagon
The shapes belong
Hexagon
It won't last long

When I turn to you, well it makes me smile
When you're looking through my dreams with attention
Undivided
When you separate the vision from the lens
I magnify it
The dust becomes a tumbleweed and every spark
Becomes a fire
I can't divide it
I can't divide it

Between the lines
Within the tone
The words above
Float alone
Stay then go
High and low
Stop then flow
It’s yes and no
It’s context, really
Shake, spread, make
No
Give yourself another role
Split the row
Feel the glow
Check then show
Yes, touch and go
It’s context, really
Relative burns
Space, sea
Land, air
East, west
Here, there
Keep, share
Blink, stare
Fear, dare
Tear, tear

Happiness in Geometry

There is happiness these shapes
There is happiness in these spaces
To think
You tried to circle
Around me
As if
I was an empty space
Fill it in for me
Fill
With every single shade
Again
Like when you said to me
Curl your lids, forever be
Awake
Alone
You couldn't breathe, you had to know
There is happiness in these shapes
There is happiness in these spaces
Above
Below
Could you say to me
One truthful thing
Why lie?
Why fake
Your way through this life
I never knew that I could be so happy
Again
You said
As if I knew
A thing
At all
Oh what was left to say?
There is happiness in these shapes
There is happiness in these spaces
There is happiness in these shapes
There is happiness in these spaces
Whatever happens, it's life
The atoms bounce and scatter into patterns of their own design
What's there or not, it doesn't matter
A loss, real or imagined, it leaves a hole
The voices tell me to love more and think less
To think less of loves that came before
It's all in your head, they tell me
It's all in your head
And they're right
Every terror
Every motion
And every bit of joy
