Ancestral
Ancestral
A path that does not end
A light that does not glow
The more you take away
The deeper it grows
Fluttering butterflies
Circle above the smoke
Leaving silver trails
Against the sky
Brutal, Beautiful spectacle
See the hungry flames
Come for all
Come for all
For one and all
Ancestral
Ancestral
Ancestral
Still you run
Miles away
You're miles away
Miles away
But still too close
Miles away
You're miles away
Miles away
But still too close
Miss the shot
And risk
The ricochet
An unpredictable
Turn of events
Firmament
A dome of glass
With a just as fragile
Reasoning
Between the cracks
Slip particles
Of a godless star
To bathe the land
At first the bright light
Hurts the eyes
Until they finally open
Like windows to the mind
A glimpse into
The cosmic multitude
Ancestral
Ancestral
Ancestral
Still you run
Miles away
You're miles away
Miles away
But still too close
Miles away
You're miles away
Miles away
But still too close

Wouldn't it be nice
If we could dim the city lights?
So you could see
The stars
Like I know you like to
But I fear the dark
Aching for release
Yearning for absence
And of that we are full
Of that we are full
Of that we are full
There may be more to it
Than meets the eye
If we can’t pierce the shade
I say we dance away
With abandon
I want to sit outside
And watch the sun
Burnish the world bright
But it looks like rain
Is coming soon
Leave behind
What’s been confined
I’d numb your pain with mine
If only
Intertwined
Inside, outside
I’d numb your pain with mine
If only for tonight
And I feel
We are just wasting time
Stranded
We are just wasting light
And I feel
We are just wasting time
Stranded
We are just wasting light
Soon we’ll walk
Completely blind
Stumbling with every step
Leave behind
What’s been confined
I’d numb your pain with mine
If only
Intertwined
Inside, outside
I’d numb your pain with mine
If only for tonight
If only for tonight

Pipe Dream

Where did they go?
All those years
Gone
A labour of love
Unrequited
Sometimes
It's hard
To discern between
Resolve and vanity
The spell on me
Has been broken
I feel alive again
The night taught me
To never stop hoping
For the glimmer of light
Concrete shoes
Pulling you down
The irony!
It's just an abstract dream
Could it be ever real?
Maybe for a while
I cannot explain
But I cannot stop
It brings not joy
But fills a space inside
The spell on me
Has been broken
I feel alive again
The night taught me
To never stop hoping
For the glimmer of light
I dare to hope
I dare to hope
Sometimes
It's hard
To discern between
Resolve and vanity
The spell on me
Has been broken
I feel alive again
The night taught me
To never stop hoping
For the glimmer of light

Analysis / Paralysis

I feel stuck
I lack the words
To help you understand
I can’t even help myself
Please
Don’t lean into me
We’ll both crumble
And fall
Made without purpose
We must find out
Who we are
Truly,inside
Left to our own devices
I was frozen
In place
Too afraid
To step into the light
I was caught
In a haze
No leap of faith
For the faithless
Sing me a song
I’ll sing one for you
Screaming out my lungs
Is anybody listening?
Sing me a song
I’ll sing one for you
Screaming out my lungs
Is anybody listening?
In my head it’s never silent
In my head it’s never silent
it’s never silent
it’s never silent

This ship is taking water
But we’re almost at the shore
And I wonder
Should we try and swim now
We might just make it out
Of this alive
The sky is dark
The waves rise darker
It felt so right
Then fell on us
This ship is taking water
But we’re almost at the shore
And I wonder
Should we try and swim now
We might just make it out
Of this alive
And I fear
Things may never be
That good again
I fear
I may never be okay again
And I fear
Things may never be
That good again
And I fear
Things may never be
That good again
The sky is dark
The waves rise darker
It felt so right
Once
What fell on us
This ship is taking water
But we’re almost at the shore
And I wonder
Should we try and swim now
We might just make it out
Of this alive
We might just make it out
Of this alive
We might just make it out
Of this alive
