Turn it on its side and decide
How the black intercedes with the white
Take the light in your hand and divide
The gravity holding the masses aside
I said
There’s millions of ways to get lost in the paint
Lines bend
The rules of what you can and cannot say
Wouldn’t want to take this frame away
Magnify the line ‘til it shines
Find the shapes that define undefined
Negative space where potential resides
The need for a comfortable story defied
Sense it all
On the blankest page
Pause to say it all
Gravity pulls from the left and the right
Making new rules to the game as you play
Not knowing why you’re invited inside
Linger here long as it tells you to stay

Closure Ends

Closure ends and day begins
And left you here with all your friends
Each new day a passing fling
And on and on and on and on
Close your eyes and say goodbye
To all the things you left outside
What’s done is done, you can’t be one
To go back go back go back go back
It’s not funny anymore
Keep on looking at the door
Ah, sigh love
Ah, sigh love
All way down
All for love
Stay for a while
Stay for a while but don’t be sure
Time to turn it on its side
To ascertain what makes it fly
Leave it home and walk away
And fall and fall into a haze
Waiting for the first reply
From feelers sent to all outside
Take away the photographs
And paint the pictures all yourself
Who will tell you what you’ve done?
In the harsh light of the sun
Ah, sigh love
Ah, sigh love
All for love
All for naught
Stay for a while
Stay for a while but don’t be sure

Ions

Ions rise into the fallen sky
And steep the air
Where the waves rise
Stones ground down into a plain of sand
Care out the years
With each day passed
Riding on a ship that’s listing
Far from land
Barely holding up our bodies
Hand in hand
White lines rise between the crashing tides
And a light a path
Through the grey sky
Pulsing veins composed of Earthly things
Enweb the times
Passed in shadow

Stay a While

Sit down
Sit and stare
Not awake
Not asleep, not aware
Full of heart
Welcome back, come along
Been a while, settle down
Nowhere left to go
I’ll sit alone
Knowing that you’re out there coming home
I’ll sit alone
Knowing that you’re out there coming home
Say,
I haven’t seen a lot of you today
Walk around
Why don’t you stay and spend a little time?
You can have the couch
Stay the night, stay a couple days
Stay a while
Quiet now, nothing more to say
I’m not alone
We all connect and then we go away
Nothing more to say
We all connect and then we go away
