Air Reform
If it’s under the sun
Then it’s made ‘ mistake
When it’s all said and done
We’ll all watch the ground fall away
We’re falling apart
But the shards fall right into line
Our chaos makes art
Everything is gonna be just fine
If you’re lacking a muse
And the sky’s gaining weight
Trust it’s not only you
Sorrow don’t discriminate
We’re falling apart
But the pieces fall straight into place
As flawed as we are
It’ll all be safe
Now we’re caught in a cloud
Can’t see the light that surrounds
Trust we’ll figure it out
A silver lining will embrace the crowds
We’re falling apart
Let the cards fall where they may
An end marks a star
It’ll be OK

Hints
Enchanted by the breeze
I’m in the midst of memories
My worries are camouflaged
For now I am at ease
A hint of heaven’s grace
As the the sunlight caresses my face
This life won’t meet infinity
So this moment I’ll embrace

Old Man
Did you second-guess yourself
And suck up some wind
Did you leave it on the shelf
Forfeit your win
Did you watch your dream subside
And not throw it a lifeline
Did you turn your back while it died
And let them stone it alive
Or did you sing it back to life
He said, “A fruitful tree will grow
if a faithful seed has been sewn.”
I hope
Did it tear you up inside
There’s no one to blame
How many times did you ask why
To no avail
Did you watch your mother die
And soak in all her strength
Did you lose your love for life
And label it a gain
Or did you trade it in for fame
When the comfort of routine sets in
The terror’s strength comes back
Ain’t that a fact
You tried and you failed
Did you ttry again
Did life beat you up
You were a good man
But karma stood you up
You bought the bluff
But you tried

Fall Into Winter
Fall into winter
So heavy
Drowned in thought
Drunk off reverie
I found a friend in your memory
The glass is half full
But my heart is half empty
The city lights
How they temp me
But this comforting fear
Is weighing me down at home
Stuck in this lonely room
Far far away
From anything
Resembling my fate...
is more than me perched up on a windowsill
A gargoyle, aware but absent
Let the absinth spill
and fill the cracks
Now I pick up my bones
I'm tired of hiding under stones
Maybe
My skeleton's of glass
My dreams and I
Need to rekindle our romance
When you feel the steal of the gun
It makes you change your wager
And your life and your bed
Is a torture chamber
The vultures circling the bedroom ceiling
Were soaring in my head
The past leaves behind emotional land mines
Drops bombs of nostalgia napalm (with no hints
you walk head on)
I see the leaves die with so much grace
I wish I had that faith
cause I need it now

Story
Last night I lost my spine
Spilled my guts ‘cross the room
Never thought that I’d come unglued
I remember swimming through my father’s mind
Vague, scattered, confused
Now a black inky mess of
Blood and breath, and tissue
Got sick once, I was starting to die
They injected me with ink
Those cold steel blocks saved my life
Now it seems my skeleton won’t change
I used to variate
Spent time in a pen
Got prison tats etched in my skin
So many cages and cages of pages
Would keep me alive through the ages
Spent my youth in grunts and moans
Seen the world through the eyes of my clones
Thought it was ended
But I kept my appendix
Broken and mended
But I kept my appendix

Broken Bottle Beach
A blank face
Like a thirsty page
Yeah I’m just a slave
To the waves
Please spare me
I thought they understood my pain
It was written on the sheets of rain
It tore my clothes and
Washed my hopes up
On a shard glass shore
(When I dropped the floor)
But I’ll keep hunting happiness
I know
