Song of Substance

The root of my problems, 144
squaring up to my 12 offences
daily steps, day by day, step by step
My fear of god, or naming it as such
Carry the cross, bury the stone
hit the rock, come up clean
And I'd do anything for you (and me)
Listen to my painful silence
And I'd do anything for you (and me)
Sing you songs of substance
Love, anonymous
Spending money like I've got no problems
keep this coin in my pocket only when
I want to acknowledge I do
wrong way on a one-way street
trusting no one, meet you half-way
caution: feelings of dread
And I'd do anything for you (and me)
Sit in painful silence
And I'd do anything for you (and me)
Sing you songs of substance
Love, anonymous

Secret

Greenwood lakes made a point of being pleasant
Northern soul lead by the compass
into something wild beyond dreams
Great big beauty in the frozen sky
on mountains rose the golden sun
and sailed on to even bigger dreams
My best kept secret
my angel in the garden
wind words and sunlight on the moon
My best kept secret
minims and rests on staff lines
window shines screenlight from my room
My best kept secret
Dawn brought me honeybees
Breakfast in bed, a symphony: to life!
Imagination home for dreams
Taylor made for me, first of its kind
Time paused for mercy in the rain
Love in the grand dream
My best kept secret
my angel in the garden
wind words and sunlight on the moon
My best kept secret
minims and rests on staff lines
window shines screenlight from my room
My best kept secret
Bright summer night
view of distant autumn's Andromeda
Clearing my eyes, finally awake
My best kept secret
my angel in the garden
wind words and sunlight on the moon
My best kept secret
minims and rests on staff lines
window shines screenlight from my room
My best kept secret

Time, a bright beacon of lights
for dreams, Time is all I need
Time, a bird in the sky
for dreams, a lust for life
I'm the wind
change over time
over time dreams become
In time I'm strong enough,
enough to become my dreams
Your name is written on the tome
no blood from a stone
but family poured from this tree
Am I a butterfly?
Asleep I live in dreams
Am I alive in dreams?
Question your own cocoon
Your name is written on the stone
a mountain of woe
separates this family in three
Your name whispered long ago
a life lived alone
watching every turn of the wheel

Foolish Game

To second guess, to break your word
Don't hold your breath, you'll lose a turn
Hate to feel and pained to see
the sun did shine but set on me
Now it's down and out of phase
then was now but times have changed (it's strange)
We laugh, we cry, we misbehave
but I've grown tired of the games we played
It was subtle, I was humble
but I'm not what you take me for
We know now there's no pride
what is left we can't be so sure
In my mind I see it now
just once upon a time
What is left we can't be so sure
No more like it was before
You wrote the rules that I'd abide
I played the fool, you changed your mind
In the depths of our despair
I believed that you'd be there
Now I'm high without a care
shed your burdens now I'm bare
We laughed, we cried, we misbehaved
but I grew tired of the games we played
It was subtle, I was humble
but I'm not what you take me for
We know now there's no pride
what is left we can't be so sure
In my mind I see it now
just once upon a time
What is left we can't be so sure
No more like it was before

Flower girl selling songs for a dollar
I picked a tune and sang along
The heat drew us out
the fires burned
we grew in the rain
down from the mountains
making the best of the worst
gained through our losses
weeding out the pain
through the overgrowth
Took our turns on breaking wheels
with broken backs
our broken hearts collapsed
Took the wheel and made a turn
spun out the cord
became unattached
Despite countless setbacks
you know we never took a step back
and now the only steps are forward
toward fulfilling our dreams
Ghosts we kept and fed and lost
spirits abandoned us with fear and doubt
Consuming all of the empty words
filled our creation with hope
Took our turns on breaking wheels
with broken backs
our broken hearts collapsed
Took the wheel and made a turn
spun out the cord
became unattached
We made it this far
without even making it
We made it this far
farther still to go
We made it this far
crushed our dreams to make a salve
We made it this far
everything we made, we made
