Blue Blood

I’ve walked down to the water
I’ve walked down to the stream
I’ve walked there in the daylight
And for hours in my dreams
And in the mist of morning
Before my eyes awake
I’ll be your beast of burden
Capture all there is to take
The skin above your knees
Glows as white as bones below
Blue blood all around them
As they float in rivers rowed
Caution as you plead
Asking where I want to go
Absence is an abscess
hardened by a springtime snow
And where does the trail go from here
Homeward bound that’s where i’ll be
Track my footsteps with your magnifying glass
There’s got to be a better way than this
I’ve put so many traps down
And i’ve used up all my bait
My patience starts to falter
As I sit around and wait
There’s no use begging please
On my knees, they’re bound to break
Time after time after time after time
Will this make me go insane?
Where does the trail go from here
Homeward bound that’s where I’ll be
Track my footsteps with your telescopic lens
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way than this

Trapped

I’ve got no soul keeping me here
I’ve got no weight to hold down my fears
So real & raw I’ve played the part for you
A drought is coming, it’s coming to stay
But by then I’ll be gone and on my way
No home to find only starvation blinds the eyes
I’m running, I’m running, I’m running away
And there ain’t nothing you can do to make me stay
I’m leaving, i’m leaving my sorry mind behind
Oh oh ohhh
Caught in the cobwebs of emotion
I refuse to be trapped
Caught and baited like an insect
Just to ease my worried mind
The maze is long and the end is out of sight
Danger is near and I can taste its lonely plight
Embrace the darkness that’s where courage holds on tight
From tales of trickery we whittle our way through
Digging through dirt like a dog
Some call it advantage
Perpetual unrest
Leaving no one but ourselves feeling betrayed
Tell me what would you do
What would you do
If you weren’t afraid?
If you weren’t afraid?
If you weren’t afraid, afraid?
I refuse to be trapped
Caught and baited like an insect
I refuse to be trapped
Caught and baited like an insect
Just to ease my worried mind

Travel trails through my brain
Speaks no words but knows its name
Echoes over water
Feels the same but with no perspective
Hear it slowly, hear it hear it slowly
As it takes over me
Gearing up to seek reflection
Beneath the panes of altered pasts
Repeated lines of texts
Intertwine as convoluted vines
Let it blur, oh let it blur
As it takes over me
Tell your version
Map it out on a chart
Too many reasons and you’ll fall apart
Rules and regulations
Conflicting as an art
You better turn around
And go back to the start
Reminded why the mind stands still
Briefly cliffed before the edge
Starting right through reason
Simply curl up and ignore the pledge
Breathe it in, oh breathe it in
As it takes over me
Tell your version
Map it out on a chart
Too many reasons and you’ll fall apart
Rules and regulations
Conflicting as an art
You better turn around
And go back to the start

I can’t stand in these shoes any longer than
I can walk in them
And that’s not far
From the soles of my persistent curiosities
That keep on whispering
At my door
The statue holds his sweet with such verosity
That makes me wonder if
He’s really wise
Enough to be in a position of posterity
Giving answers to
A growing mind
Into the sea I’ll be
Rocking so steadily
Swallowed and then spit out
Who will want to take me?
Swim swim, swim to the other side
I guess there’s something there
Inside the mist
A jungle where my own dimensions have gone back to
A far future
Related bliss
Into the sea I’ll be
Rocking so steadily
Swallowed and then spit out
Who will want to take me?
It’s a disease with stripes on its sleeve
Eating a mouthful of blended naive.
Coy enough to pressure an opening hand
Take it from me, take some more
Into the sea I’ll be
Rocking so steadily
Swallowed and then spit out
Who will want to take me?

Pixels

After all the caffeine pills are gone
And the moon becomes the sun
When the light begins to burn
The surface always remains numb
Trace the trails of my unforgetting skin
Paying a toll with conversation
Translucent glares were all they gave away that day
Entered a road of mass confusion
Where was your map you say?
Well we were better off that way
Finding the turns on your own is the best way to learn
Because it could have been this or that
As a matter of fact
The pixels are part of the problem
Turning their pigment into a stream
That flows in and out of my inconsistent dreams
It blurs the line, it blurs the line, it blurs the line
It blurs the line, it blurs the line, it blurs the line
