Flotilla

Ur stuck in a place
that once freely gave,
that’s all gone
U search always, in dead ashes of home
ur mind is sinking sand
heart buried, stolen land
and we’ve fallen so far
Vibrations stir the motions
she cracks under our potions,
no longer free -
don’t call on me
sing out for the sea
What was that the wise man said?
No possessions, no obsessions, no retaliations -
imaginary nations
delusional foundations
we pay into our prisons
Vibrations stir the motions
whose fault is it we’re broken?
No longer free
Expired liberty
Sing for the ones who see, the ones who see

Side Saddle

side saddle into sunsets
U ride away
double life synchronized
U straddle the days
a cliff edge lined with old dull knives
in old habits, turning tricks to satisfy
the other side remains fantasized
silver clouds, lining stormy vows
skeleton trees, shimmering seeds
a place where the fountain
drips with all U need
(all I need)
stepping stones made of bones, I’m wobbling
ancestor whispers, what they did for me
tag the walls, ur hieroglyphics chip away
crackling codes defying ancient ways
I’m a link in your chain, rusted weight
I’m the one to break
the patterns of hate and shame,
Southern games,
no one to blame but yourself
the rocking chairs reverberate -
do U remember
the old days?
runnin thru my dreams,
U were always a ghost to me
slippin thru the door upon waking,
a kiss on my cheek
since I was 5, half-life of longing
hangin at night with angels of haunting
felt like I was belonging,
they said I was sinning
so I kept on pretending -
when we saw U there, sitting on a fallen tree,
rope swing
staring in the mist rolling in from the river
a finger to ur lip, hear the winds as they whisper
U said that’s all that matters,
the scene gives me shivers
just ride that horse into the sunset,
and don’t U dare look back
searching for love in bar corners,
who saves U tonight from yourself?
I’m a night rider, just like my father
gettin love on the run, leavin them in the dust
just ride that horse into the sunset
& don’t U dare look back

Ether

toes hang over the edge
look down at the clouds not over ur head
pulling, pulsing
magnetic ether wind
drawing U in all directions
ur weight pressed against the air stream
the breeze pressing U so heavily
U are suspended in light
U see horizon endlessly
dizzy at such a height
are U falling or floating into the light?
spinning, stirring, the compass in ur mind
U need some rest on your hammock tonight
a net of silver thread spun tightly
to catch ur fears and dread of leaving
U are suspended in light
U see horizon endlessly
( let me take U )
U hear the voices in the air,
U better find out what's down there
U see endlessly

leather satchel, tie your bones
scale the mountains to his throne
circling in the search to feel whole
your heart heavy pulsing with see-through holes
enter a deep and heavy haze
crystals lining secret caves
peaceful, without words he plays a new wave
you’re underneath your sorcerer’s gaze
suddenly your steps get heavy
staggering, stalagmites in your way
the dripping down from above
hardens every day
endless pools of moonmilk sinters
fire faces, stone-mouth members
visions inbreeding dimensions
your flesh in color haunting my perception
he tells U not to justify
just funnel all the fear inside
his wand waves and you’re stunned, petrified
your raw hide has mineralized
suddenly your steps get heavy
staggering, stalagmites in your way
old witch's claw reach through the clay
for thoughts still pure before decay
grandfather clock with a moon face
he's winding up to play
the pendulum disintegrates
it’s falling down around you, what’s real or fake?
crystals crashing, visions smashing…
time ends now, with a bigger bang

Lithium

What if the things you hated from your past
had brought you here,
a new species under the glass?
How do you think you’d arrived,
could you explain
what you were raised on?
Your own exciting lies
They came before you
in your eyes, they’re just 2 denials
dreams & feelings only they knew
we are their cryptic disguise
All you want is an exit
you're only here for inexistence
You think you're doing something different
fate takes your hands, changes up those plans
don’t pride yourself
on the fall of the cards
the house was flimsy
from the beginning
Animal eyes, whisper to me
I do not see enough to know me
no pill that you take
will ever make it right
I am now leaving
you let me lose my mind
too much within, can’t get without,
there’s always lithium
