Track Name: Romantic Evenings of Self
why is it so easy to breathe
but not so easy to leave
our love was something to see
but not as easy for me

but alone, at last
is when you know
nobody's right when they're dead

so i'll just go on
on

can't you tell we're too far gone?

how can you ask me
to stay in your shadow
i'm drowning
Track Name: Manifest Waltz
lost in clouds of dust
I'll lie and wait it out
memory that drowns my eyes
pulsing through all that is mine

I saw you in the waves
just like yesterday again

it's so far away
you're so far away

and time could melt you away
as iron
as iron in the forge

but this love will form the sword
still thrust in me
Track Name: Lacuna
what a sight for bleeding eyes
I would feel light
but for the weight

I could wait for these walls to crumble
or confess, they are only mirages
to keep me in line

careful, they're waiting for you
Track Name: A Love Or Obsession
so I will lay my heart on the line
for you to harvest
as grapes on the vine

the subtle elixir, only with fire
ferments into final, daydream desire

soul and body, fade to light
time and distance, made finite

come back to me
come back to me
Track Name: Heart Beats Eternal
heart beats, heart beats
truth seeks, truth speaks

electric signals
contract in sequence

chambers and valves
and vows…

Love.
Track Name: Testimony
nature of action
prior proceedings
statement of facts
testimony

well you can speak extemporaneously
on a variety of subjects

well well

I have no...

I have no direction but desire
and I have no extension of defense

nature of action
prior proceedings
statement of facts
testimony

yes you can speak extemporaneously
on a variety of subjects

well, well
I have no direction nor desire
But I have no extension of defense

nature of action
prior proceedings
statement of facts
Testimony

Evolution.

and you still speak extemporaneously
on a variety of subjects

now I have no direction of desire
and I need no extension of defense

nature of action
prior proceedings
statement of facts
Testimony

well, I have
emotional intelligence
evolution from tainted genes

Evolution.

Nature of Action

and this is my book of human language
“Makeba”, so to speak
well, this is My book of human language
Makeba’s turn to speak
Track Name: No One On Earth
high in the grove of the guava
from stunning peaks of palm
came the Vision

far below in the valley
lay the dying city
hindsight
always softer in shadow

until the Ocean’s rise again
ascending the abyss from down and below

from the sleeping volcano
I made my weary descent
to join the walking dead once more

for it would soon be underwater
and all would be well once again

until the Ocean’s rise again
until the Ocean's rise again
ascending the abyss from down and below
Track Name: The First Crossing
your presence leaves me
only the dull, steady
pressure of the chest remains
the throat, content to close
a silent, hopeless protest

but if you might
grant me one gift
one kiss, eyes wide shut
I would drink your mouth in mine
then take your leave of me
and carry on

for lungs, filled with joy
have no fear
of long roads that lie ahead
of a wandering mind

and the road is long
and this road is long
Track Name: Only You (Seasons)
if you only knew
I would give my love to you
only you
only you

It’s this Winter’s chill
That keeps me locked indoors
far from you
far from you

and if you only knew
I would give my love to you
only you
only you…
Track Name: Cave Dweller
from the dying dream of our love
came the Freudian nightmare
in the flesh
recognition, then
denial to act too soon

no longer a lover, only a Father

and when I looked for you
naked and blindfolded
you turned your face in fear

and where I sought your Soul's window
I found only your cold gaze

oh my darling
cunning cave dweller
was it my Light you could not stand?

all your useless
logic, reason
will never thaw the frost within

and I hope there,
in the brilliant blue of your eyes
the False-Self
will one day subside

but the risk to remain
was more than I could bear
oh, My Love
Track Name: Me Acuerdo El Lobo
and he knew me
howling through me
always and without speaking

Life, as in Dream
his jaws closed in on me

drawing blood and nectar
we each drank blissfully

and in a blinding flash
he shed his wintry pelt

there, under the trees
we made our bed with it...

{rest, instrumental transition to finality}

he came so quickly
bounding through woodland wasteland
I froze, in fright
that he would not stay near

and in his fleeting eyes I saw
freedom from my destined demise
the warmth, the light
the infinite prize

and now, all that remains
are eternal echoes
of his cries
lost in that forest
I'll sing the song

that he may one day hear...
Track Name: Drowning In Vision
deep in the night the incubus came
burrowing deep in the spinal column
just at the quick of the neck
left paralyzed

fear not, said Virago
immediately, she awakened
screaming mutiny, mutiny
Mutiny

from the top of mountains lungs
revealing in the ridges
armed with sword of future's flame
she slayed the Demon of the Day

struck by the chords of divine inspiration
where the sun shines so blinding bright
I can move now
freely, and without flight...
freely

Freedom.
Track Name: Final Departure Schedule
and on my way I will find
the vessel
to take me home
to the shining garden

I close my eyes and return to
starlight and chance
to catch my breath
in the wake of
divine higher lines

and as the portal draws near
I'll see you in Time...
