bridge
how will i finally meet you?
dropped on that bridge beyond the sea
i've been living here too long
not to know that i've been wrong
but how will i find it living without?

all they will tell me lately
is how i got lost along the way
i've been sitting here too long
with my hands down at my side,
just waiting in silence
dwelling in doubt

and if i told you why
i leapt from the pages
all of the fault is mine,
so why can't i leap again?

how many times must i fall
before i give in?

now that i've finally seen you
i'll cross that bridge into the sea
i've been waiting here too long
to give up without a fight
just taking it lightly
living without


shredding
never fell so far
from the golden way
all this is leaving me
can i trust you now?

where the shadows lie
play the darkened words
frayed now, they're shredding me
and they're calling me away


the vine
you ask me now
will i be stronger than yesterday
i doubt it

and with a timid eye,
you look to me for something more
than i can give

will the vine be sweeter than the fruit?
and will i break more than just the rules?
and if i don't know?

and with these hands,
i grip the broken oar to float us home
i've seen it

but all my mind sees
are those waves that crash along our way

will the vine be sweeter than the fruit?
and will i break more than just the rules
with all i don't know?


the idiots
in ways i've seen
that light on the waves roar
but looking out this morning
i saw them swarm
to enjoy the loud escape fantastic
bowed down now, they creep
the idiots breathe once more

waking all the queens
that file out into the night
and float on smoke
they march on all day,
to push on the fraze of unlocked hands
they all know how the love is bought:
in standard fits of rage
and crave the life supreme
now the idiots breed once more

they cannot build the unspoiled
upon that hill so mighty
to float in the fields of all that's strange
while their mouths betray their feelings
and they all know where the graves are hid
yet they still sit there, smugly counting words
because they can't feel at all
not at all
one more and i'll die
still the idiots bleed once more


last
i once had these things i loved
now i don't know where they are- long gone

one day, your words made me see
how i don't know anything i should

when you found me, i was lost in dark
now i don't need anyone but you
