Intro

Returning home
To an unmade bed
To the morning’s cold coffee
To a darkness behind curtains
Welcome home
Away from the world
To the safety and shelter
To the feelings of it all
Aching for something better
Rifling through an old collection
Longing for something other
Stumbling on sights long unseen
Reflecting on what had been
With an old but familiar line
An envelope falls to the ground
“You know when the time comes”

Escape
04:21
|

The belated bliss knocks down my back
Buzzing, plunging, to open the door
Revealing and spilling new colors on the wall
My body becomes cozy and warm
As my limbs drop their weight down… on… the floor
I enter a strange new place
|

A shadow dances on the wall
Overwhelmingly it becomes whole
The world’s shrinking to one side
Vile imagery straight from the heart
Laughter fills my sight
Glaring reverb of the night
Delirium growing in hysteria
My mind’s shaking ataxia
Misaligned stars of disarray
Showing desires that never came to be
never came to be
never came to be
never came to be
never came to be

Question as a signal flare
in the misty morning:
Is it time to wake up?
No answer anywhere
No certainties here
Is it time to wake up?
Everything I saw
Every sound I heard:
Is a package here to stay,
From a world far away
Where has it gone?
The ringing was so clear
My mind was one
No laughs I can hear
Where has it gone?
Colors, so bright
My mind was one
Shadows wave bye
Where has it gone?
Was it just a dream?
My mind was one
But frenzy wore me out
I watched the furniture dance
As my thoughts turned into sand
Needing water to build castles that stand
Now I’m left wondering why
I let my life slip by
So long, so long
Embrace the warmth and smoke
Turn around to the fire

Journey
03:12
|

Left behind an empty shelf
Tolling on the freedom bell
No longer waiting to see
whatever that I will be
I dispelled clouds of doubt
To allow a seed to sprout
I Let go to free myself
Leaving a life unwell
Hammering my inner shell
My newfound spark for life
Invoked my last match
Which has lit the fire
So I gather the torch
Now all I feel is the heat
Tears from the smoke but I see
By lighting the fire I am free
Leaving behind a life unwell
I take the fire

Coming Home
02:20
|

Still in the same place
Beginning to feel like home
Bells that chimed are gone
Beginning to feel like home
The furniture that did not move
Beginning to feel like home
Same old walls, yellow they were
Beginning to feel like home
The brightness has diffused
Beginning to feel like home
The shadows are now still
Beginning to feel like home
The pieces of the broken shell
Beginning to feel like home
Envelope and an unused match
Beginning to feel like home
