Kaleidoscope

Recklessly
She opens up the door
Stepping in
Morpheus awakened
Falling up
A starry trail o' crumbs
Leading back
To when the world was shaken
Ahh, Ahh
Another you
Another me
The same eventually
The light refracts
Slows into blood
The deserts and the flood
Another place
Right here and now
All side by side outside
This wheel
Unconsciously
The sound beneath
The noise mouthing please
Stop em from forgetting
Fragments wholes
The dancing of the soul
On pyres purged
Nothing left...
Or is there?

Outermost Sky

Lift off, climb higher and higher
You and I both know what's going on,
We ride, above stormy weather,
Deep space, a race with no boundries
Floating as captions in forests of stars,
A sea, of infinite motion
You wanna tear us apart,
You'll never tear us apart,

Touch down, beneath the made flowers
Safe under blankets of atmosphere
Reveal in all that is ours,

You wanna tear us apart
You'll never tear us apart

Outermost sky

I Just Want You To Know

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

 

Kill Me No More

I swallowed all of you
Where am I? Not here
Drifted far away from all things clear
and frozen in the fall
Looking up at you
Trying to save me with your words but that... won't do.

Before I opened all the doors and let you in
All that I wanted from this life was to begin
Now it's my lie that won't believe me
Love is what will kill me .. no more.

Forever as you said, ends where we are now
You who made the Sun go out somehow
Of trust impurely made by the slightest tear
All the seams have come undone and you...not there

Before I opened all the doors and let you in
All that I wanted from this life was to begin
Now it's my lie that won't believe me
Love is what will kill me .. no more.

What's my name

My name is David
I'm carrying the wheel
Thanks for all you've shown me
But this is how I feel
Come sit next to me
Pour yourself some tea
Just like grandma made
When we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then
Once but never again
We've all left the den
Let me tell you 'bout it

The choo-choo train left right on time
A ticket costs only your mind
The driver said, 'Hey man, we go all the way'
Of course we were willing to pay

My name is David
I gotta box full of your toys
They're fresh out of batteries
But they're still makin' noise (makin' noise)
Tell me what to do
Now the tank is dry
Now this wheel is flat
And you know what else?
Guess what I received In the mail today
Words of deep concern
From my little brother
The building's not going as he planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear a path
The driver swears he learned his math
The workers are going home Yeah!
The workers are going home Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

My name is David

It's Now Can't

Under the water,
Its cold and its grey.
My torrid autumn,
Another season decays.
Open up the Hollow,
And my walls come down.
I tell you it’s a problem,
Just when no one’s around.
But then,
I know what’s wrong,
You complicated everything.
I know you’re gone, gone, gone,
This is where I will draw a line.
I will draw my line.
Look at all of these peoples, Tragic little people,
They smile and then they don’t know what for.
But then,
I know what’s wrong,
You complicated everything.
I know you’re gone, gone, gone,
This is where I will blur my line.
I will blur my line.
Our houses are haunted, Dark and deserted,
They’re made of my secrets and shame.
Baby I want it I know I’m not worth it,
I can’t even tell you my name.
Again,
I know what’s wrong,
You complicated everything.
I know you’re wrong,
You took it all away from me.
I know you’re gone, gone, gone,
This is where I will cross my line.
I am crossing my line.

Look Again

You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me
And look, look, look what you've done
Well, you took all the best of me
So come get the rest of me
And look back, finish what you've begun
Be done

There is someone you ought to meet
It's me, Mister Incomplete
Look at what I've become
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two
Look, I said back, finish what you've begun
Be done

Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide
And we'll try to decide
What you've needed
But from where I stand today
I can't think of a way
Or the words that I might say
That could change your mind and make you stay
Oh no, not for all the times I've pleaded

Look what you've done
You have taken the best of me
So come get the rest of me
Look back, finish what you've begun
Oh, be done

The End

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,
Why everything's the same as it was.
I can't understand. No, I can't understand,
How life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye

Love Me

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
My guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
I love you I really do
Loneliness is a such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again

What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And listen to my sad guitar

It Is

Don't you know it's true
I belong to you
Don't you know it's just how it is

Dont you know it's so
I won't let it go
Don't you know it's just the way it is

Long Time

Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over guys you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time
Wait for the day You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.

Hers

She seemed so cold to me
and I remember when I loved her
She seemed so cold to me
but I remember when I loved her
Now we are strange, no more in love
but I still wish that I could hold her
My dream of love has gone
and I remember when I loved her

Now we are strange, no more in love
but I still wish that I could hold her
My dream of love has gone
and I remember when I loved her
when I loved her
when I loved ... her

Heaven?

I look at you
And before my eyes it's true
The girl of my dreams
Is not quite what she seems

Open your door
Turn on the light
Show me some more
Tell me it's alright

Heaven is inside you
Heaven when I ride you
Heaven do you want me
Is heaven just in my mind?

I look at you
At everything you do
The words in your head
Still remain unsaid

Open you eyes
Inflatable girl
Lose the disguise
Release me from your spell

Heaven is inside you
Heaven when I ride you
Heaven do you want me
Is heaven just in my mind?

Heaven is inside you
Heaven when I ride you
Heaven do you want me
Is heaven just in my mind?

Little

I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand and walk with me, my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling me to close me eyes
Some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to feel this way
Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
My body safe to shore
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
I'll tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will all be over, and buried in the past
I used to play outside when I was young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right.
My mind is playing tricks on me my dear
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing I can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep

Lost

Excuse me? Doctor? If you have a moment?
A moment? What's the question?
More of a situation, a gentleman in exam 3
What's the problem?
That is the problem, we're not sure.
You got the chart?
Right here.
Hmm.. Not much here is there
No doctor, no obvious physical trauma. Vitals are stable.
Name?
No sir.
Did someone drop him off? Maybe we could speak to them. Let's get some
on this fella.
No ID. Nothing and he won't speak to anybody.
Well, let's say hello. Good Morning, I'm Dr. Wasson. How are you today? How are you today?! Look son, you're in a safe place. We wanna help in whatever way we can. But need to talk to us. We can't help you otherwise. Now what's happened? Tell me everything.

All By Myself

When I was young
I never needed anyone
Those days are gone

Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore

Congratulations

Congratulations for breaking my heart
Congratulations for tearing it all apart
Congratulations, you finally did succeed
Congratulations for leaving me in need
This morning I looked out my window and found
A bluebird singing but there was no one around
At night, I lay alone in my bed
With an image of you going around in my head
Congratulations for bringing me down
Congratulations, now I'm sorrow bound
Congratulations, you got a good deal
Congratulations how good you must feel
I guess that I must have loved you more than I ever knew
My would is empty now 'cause it don't have you
And if I had just one more chance to win your heart again
I would do things differently but what's the use to pretend
Congratulations for making me wait
Congratulations, now it's too late
Congratulations, you came out on top
Congratulations, you never did know when to stop

The Night Before

we said our goodbyes
the night before
love was in your eyes
the night before
now today i find, you have changed your mind
treat me like you did the night before
were you telling lies
the night before
was i so unwise
the night before
when i held you near, you were so sincere
treat me like you did the night before
last night is the night i will remember you by
when i think of things we did, it makes me wanna cry

Swan

i rearrange my feelings
like an oragami
paper swan
so i don't have to feel you
and i can just
travel on
but you caught my eyes
it was gliding by
and now i feel i'm hostage
to your love
your love
caught in the net
of loves regret
my heart is beating on
the wind
a bird is worth more in the hand
i tried to give you all within
but you caught my eyes
it was gliding by
and now i feel i'm hostage
to your love
your love
hey hey what do you say
like a pirate on a bender
a five course surrender
a hole in my heart
and it meddles the start
of the shipwreck of you
the shipwreck of you
how can you say that we started this way
now that our loveship is sinking
you got along like a dream and your gone
everything just floats away
just floats away
you run around like a pirates crown
on the open seas of my heart
you think i'm some kind of carousel ride
oh look there goes a floating swan
but you caught my eyes
it was glding by
and now i feel i'm lost
inside your love
your love
hey hey what do you say
shiver me timbers
my hearts all in splinters
give me some rum
and a fist like a drum
and it's shipwreck of me
shipwreck of me
you took your aim
when there is no blame
and now you've captured
all my flags

Fall to Grace

In the deepest frozen doubt
There's a thawing, lifting out
This ending rope
My ray of hope
There's no reason to believe
But the heart rolls up it's sleeve
This day's not done
While I paint a sun
Falling apart as it comes together
For one more refrain
No more surprises we made the weather
Let's stand in the rain
And smile in pain
An eternal fall to grace
Playing out in decaying space
Oh travel on
It won't be long
Falling apart as it comes together
For one more refrain
No more surprises we made the weather
Let's stand in the rain
And smile in pain

How do you feel (Summer '07)

Would you like to say something before you leave?
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel.
You said goodbye before we've said hello.
I hardly even like you.
I shouldn't care at all.
We met just six months ago.
The music was too loud.
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year.
And I would like to know, how do you feel?
How do you feel?
Not a single word was said.
Delights still without fears.
Occasionally you showed a smile, but what was the need?
I felt the cold far too soon - the wind of eleven five.
My friends are playing in the sun, I wish I was there.
Next year brings another love, another girl like you.
Have you time before you leave to greet another man
Just to let me know, how do you feel?
How do you feel?
Goodbye to you.
Charlotte Kringles too.
I've had enough for one day.

Christmas

No, there won't be Christmas for me this year
For the simple reason being you're not here
There won't be eggnogs by the cozy fire
There won't be glasses of mulled wine either
There won't even be a Christmas tree
'cause you're not here to light it up with me
Oh, Santa won't you bring my baby back to me?
'cause i miss her yes, i miss her oh so dearly
I haven't sent her a Christmas card
'cause that would mean we really are apart
The Christmas stockings are as empty as my heart
I know you're away doing something good
But just this once, baby, if you could
You know you can, and you know should
'cause Christmas won't be Christmas…
without you

Millionaire

Bring out the charge of the love brigade
There is spring in the air once again
Drink to the sound of the song parade
There is music and love ev'rywhere
Give a little love to me
Take a lotta love from me
I want to share it with you
I Feel like a millionaire

Once we were mad we were happy
We spent all our days holding hands together
Do you remember my love
How we danced and played?
In the rain we laid
We could stay there for ever and ever
Now I am sad you are so far away
I sit counting the hours day by day
Come back to me
How I long for your love
Come back to me
Be happy like we used to be
Come back come back to me
Come back come back to me
Oh come back to me oh my love
How I long for your love
Won't you come back to me?
My fine friend
Take me with you and love me forever
My fine friend
Forever forever
Make me feel like a millionaire

The End of the World

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

That Girl

Whoah, the girl I love, she got long black wavy hair
I do declare!
The girl I love, yeah, she got long black wavy hair,
Ah yeah,
Her mother and her father, lordy,
They sure don't, sure don't allow me there.
Well i, I'm goin' back to my baby, lord I,
I swear I wouldn't lie, yeah
I never saw that sweet woman yeah in-a
A-five long years gone by, yeah.
Well I'm goin' ho__me, I'm goin' home
'cause she's a sweet little darlin', ah
I said I been away, ahh-far too long,
I been away too long.
Well, my baby when...
She shakes just like a willow tree,
Yes she does.
My baby, when she walks, ya know
She shakes like a willow tree, yeah.
Ah-that mean, mistreatin' baby she know she
Hop, hops all over me.
Oooh.
Yeah!
Alright!
Hops over me...

Rosebud

It can't be love
for there is no true love
Sure I'm D.J.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me
Well I'm sorry but I'm not
interested in gold mines,
oil wells,shipping or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate

There is a man
a certain man
and for the poor you may be sure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one?
who's favourite son?
just by his action has the traction
magnates on the run
Who likes to smoke?
enjoys a joke?
and wouldn't get a bit
upset if he were really broke?
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
I'll bet you five you're not alive
If you don't now his name

You said the union forever
You cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it can't be love

Bleeding Whole

Here comes nothing I know
Wings are floating downstream
To the sea again begin
This old world left hanging
People gripping ether
Steady voices, hear them?
As a child I lived there
In a fog I lost here
I feel it all
Emptiness fills the bleeding whole
I feel it all
This is my whispered prayer in awe
I feel it all
Laying my head down on the pain
I feel it all
Now I'm awake and sleep no more.

Time for Miracles

It's late at night and I can't sleep
Missing you just runs too deep
Oh I can't breathe thinking of your smile
Every kiss I can't forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
'Cause I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

I just wanna be with you
'Cause living is so hard to do
When all I know is trapped inside your eyes
The future I cannot forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
'Cause I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love
No I ain't giving up on us

Baby can you feel it coming
You know I can hear it hear all the souls
Baby can you feel me feel you....
You know it's time....

The Hazards of Love

Father I'm not feeling well, the flowers me you fed
Tasted spoiled for suddenly I find that I am dead
But father don't you fear your children all are here
Oh the Hazards of Love
Father turn the water down the basin's overflown
The water covers everything and me left all alone
But papa here in death I have regained my breath
Oh the Hazards of Love
Spare the rod, you'll spoil the child but I prefer the lash
My sisters drowned and poisoned all and me reduced to ash
And buried in an urn but father I return
Oh the Hazards of Love

The Hazards of Love.

My Breath

take it take it all away
take my breath away
take my breath away

Look into my eyes and you'll see I'm the only one
You've captured my love stolen my heart
Changed my life

Every time you make a move you destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears with a single sigh
Ev'ry breath that you take
Any sound that you make is a whisper in my ear

I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die if you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you anywhere you go
I'll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep TILL I find you
To tell you that you just take my breath away

I will find you anywhere you go
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep until I find you
To tell you when I've found you

I love you

Take my breath take my breath ... away

Soliliquy

The sleep is still in my eyes.
The dream is still in my head.
I heave a sigh and sadly smile
and lie a while in bed.
I wish that it might come to pass.
Not fade like all my dreams.
Just Think of what my life might be.
In a World like I have seen
I don't think
I can carry on.....
Carry on this cold and empty life.
OH NO
My Spirits are low in the depths of dispair
My Lifeblood
Spills Over.
