Butterfly Suite
Who sweeps the squalid rain
To scan through pinks and pray
I laughed without escape above a frightened rays
A touch of wanderlust, a tome of all that's dust
It settled on the first rung
It's morning to good morning
Good morning to you sun
Don't ever set on our love
As our love has begun
To hold you from afar
To sing out butterfly
I'm sloth when miles presides
Bedances rent with crying
It's morning to good morning
Good morning to you sun
Don't ever set on our love
'Cause our love has begun
I'm here to be, the same degree with you
Believe (believe, believe)
Escaped, 'cause here I am to follow you with I
Climbed with dead stuck I, to follow you
Unto I
For love, you catch freedom
For love (love, for love), it makes wanton
For love
It's morning to good morning
Good morning to you sun
Don't ever set on our love
'Cause our love has begun
Across this realm of dew stains
Swept with tears from gulfs
Adrift upon dread heaven
Strangers as their own
I'm here to be (I'm here to be)
The same degree with you
Believe (believe, believe)
I'm here to be (I'm here to be)
The same degree with you
Believe (believe, believe)
(Believe, believe)
(Believe, believe)
(Believe, believe)
(Believe, believe)
(Believe, believe)
(Believe, believe)
(Believe, believe)

The Good in Goodbye
To take down, to take fire
Into the black it hurls
Anointed ones, provided sons
Who are the last to rule
Trade on receivers, he ain't coming to
For far have I wandered at last
Into your bug house ruse
Round and round, shoots and spires
Beyond the blast of an arc
We fed half, we draw down
To the edge of fear
Lay down your winters
Lay down, cry in faith
For once you've left as your father's son
Who blesses the dove and fates
We shine as we all shine on
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on (shine)
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on (shine)
Shine as we all shine
Straight on deceivers
A sound from who's bethought
He's grown ill and warm, he's great repast
It's into the common
He's into the common morgue
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on (shine)
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on (shine)
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on (shine)
Shine as we all shine

Embracer
As still as a flower
As ruled out to say what truth is truth
Let's feast on this rage
Unleash what it lays of use
I realize (realize), realize (realize), I realize (realize)
I believed what was lonely in you
I realize (realize)
Said the knife to the spoon
I believed what was lonely in you
Shake hard this summons
With bottles tossed
Down set seas of noise
And notes inside, to the void
I'd love you to follow
A star on the rise and tuned by bloom
In hate of the sage
I've sent out faith
Once removed
I realize (realize), realize (realize), I realize (realize)
It's only lonely who should lose
I realize (realize)
Said the knife to the spoon
It's only lonely who lose
As fools cross the cosmos
Let's assume of your age
But true cuts true
I've had you beside
To show me what always might do
I'd love you to follow
A star on the rise and tuned by bloom
In hate of the sage
I've sent out faith
Once removed
I realize (realize), realize (realize), I realize (realize)
It's only lonely who should lose
I realize (realize)
Said the knife to the spoon
It's only lonely who lose
I realize (realize), realize (realize), I realize (realize)
It's only the lonely

With Ado I Do
I encircles I
With charms that peel
Of midnights
If dawn is done
What have we won
Of midnights?
Our wheels rewind
Our lonely tribes
But time slays zone and light
And love, 'tis a crime
It's low slum as I
To all that was was vaunted
All we'd ever sought
Hear, God (hear, God)
The prayers of your unwashed
We're lonely where you're lost
Hear friends (hear friends)
This moments spells the end
For some it's why they went
Hear God, how does this end?
With steps apace
I disappear untraced
This moment heralds break
Of a shape and shame
And faced right head-on
Is life eternal in a light
You just can't watch?
Hear, God (hear, God)
The prayers all of the stars
We're watched and only watched
Hear God, how's this end?
Hear friends (hear friends)
This moments in our glance
From here around our veils
Hear God, how does this end?

Hooligan
If it's us and them
Our heroes have to fight and fight to win
So it figures then
I'd languish on the lash of life and limb
Whoa, whoa, whoa, as hooligan
Whoa, whoa, whoa, a hooligan
Whoa, oh oh, oh oh, whoa
What's got you down?
Whoa, oh oh, oh oh, whoa
What could go wrong?
I'm a hooligan (hooligan, hooligan, hooligan), oh
I'm a hooligan (hooligan, hooligan, hooligan)
I'm a hooligan
If you're more than culled
Our arrows needn't bite as you would lose
'Cause if none says all
Than nothing's ever real as I might excuse
Whoa, whoa, whoa, as hooligan
Whoa, whoa, whoa, as hooligan
Whoa, oh oh, oh oh, whoa
What's got you down?
Whoa, oh oh, oh oh, whoa
What could go wrong?
I'm a hooligan (hooligan, hooligan, hooligan), oh
I'm a hooligan (hooligan, hooligan, hooligan)
For that spaceman floating on for his muddy somme
For kinetic, self-same bots
For those who can't belong
I'm that hooligan, oh
I'm a hooligan, oh
Oh, I'm a hooligan, oh
I'm a hooligan, oh
I'm a hooligan, oh

Steps in Time
Can you, can you hear me?
Can you feel, you feel me?
Written as a birthright
On pregnant bough, a guarded night
Is it more than what you'd bargained for
Steps in time
We're steps in time
Risen to the fore
Yet rotten to our core
More has ceded more
Where history divides
Do you love me?
I'm shouting out
Will you need me now?
I've had it all
But the honor
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Will you love me?
I'm shouting out
What the ages brought
And triumph not what goes reeling
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Dream-dream of new dreams
It's the cream of blessed shock
Boy, your gift ain't squandered
Boy, your head screams artifice
To the aught decembrists we bid bye-bye
Steps in time
We're steps in time
Risen to the fore
Yet rotten to our core
More has ceded more
Where history divides
Do you love me?
I'm shouting out
Will you need me now?
I've had it all
But the honor
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Will you love me?
I'm shouting out
What the ages brought
And triumph not what goes reeling
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, la-la-la

Where Rain Must Fall
Far, too far
Us gladrags wander a dull roar
And a path that's too barbed
Yet, be reminded senescence don't fare
And hours just ain't ours
In all that you are
I'm comin' to roust you
Buttoned by high noons
Whirling in 'how-de-do'
It's never as taught
Been sitting in my room
Hanging on my moons
It's better to live than talk
On a star-way to the
Soul infernal, hark, as eternal
Through tides of kerosene
Just put your mind out
Where it can't be reached
On a star-way to the stars
Me and mine
A star-way to the stars
I'm comin' to roust you
Buttoned by high noons
Whirling in 'how-de-do'
On a star-way to the stars
A star-way to the stars (ah stars)
Oh, to where you are
Me and mine
On a star-way to the stars
Me and mine
A star-way to the stars
On the star-way to the stars
Me and mine
A star-way to the stars
On the star-way to the stars
Me and mine
A star-way to the stars
On a star-way to the stars (so infernal, as eternal)
A star-way to the stars (into the stars)
On the star-way to the stars (so infernal, as eternal)
Me and mine
A star-way to the stars
On the star-way to the stars
A star-way to the stars

Beyond the Vale
I will fight for space and time
Which runs through you
I'll run fast when they both fell
But love stood as cruel
Vagabonds, your feast is love
Vagabonds, your feast is love
I used to mock their fake rebellion (their fake rebellion)
I used to mock their sins (their sins, oh)
Now I'm the one left in
Love, love, love, I'll wait
Love, I'll wake in you
Love, love, love, I'll wait
In love always with you
Love, love, love, I'll wait
Love, I'll wake in you
Love, love, love, I'll wait
In love always with you
Darkness scares its unawares
It's us telling you
Behind these walls in your bones
Gains trust, as I knew
Vagabonds, your feast is love
Vagabonds, your feast is love
I used to mock their fake rebellion (their fake rebellion)
I used to mock their sins (their sins, oh)
Now I'm the one left in
Love, love, love, I'll wait
Love, I'll wake in you
Love, love, love, I'll wait
In love always with you
Love, love, love, I'll wait
Love, I'll wake in you
Love, love, love, I'll wait
In love always with you
In love always with you

Hooray!
Out on the plains of Chickamongo
Rode a lass who nigh could lasso straight
She knew her wilds but would not follow
A valentine arriving on Feb 8th
Rose played the bucks and
Rose skipped at luck and
Rose flowered out on the range
Alone in knowledge of life's great college
As summoned up on the stage
It was hi-hi-hi-de-yay
So giddy-up and truck, confound you's
It's giddy-up enough, we want to stray
Take the up and up 'til life astounds you
And giddy-up and up right off the page
For your amusement
This rose won't deign to fade, oh, oh, oh
Out on the hills of Rouge Diablo
Squints a gal for pals she shall not save
Her six shooters were a blazin'
As shined by tresses dyed in lemonade
Mercy me, oh (mercy me)
Oh, mercy mine-oh
Clementina (Clementina)
My clementine-a, oh
Out on the mounds of Ol' Piccocyto
That lass who lasso's straight (lasso's straight)
Once craved the wilds but since only follows
A valentine so brave
Where it's hi-hi-hi-de-yay
So giddy-up and truck, confound you's
It's giddy-up enough, we want to stray
Take the up and up 'til life astounds you
And giddy-up and up right off the page
This rose won't fade
This rose won't fade

The Gold Mask
To be born anew
To live and not quite lose
To trust every day stay unchanged
To be free and just be
As clear as eyes conceive
To know what is known won't erase
Well, I say, I say shame
To any given 'morrow crossed
'Cause I'll get by
Lover, like I do to haunt again
And rise where that sun
Meets that rain
Taken by the two's in heart
Lover, I would choose to part again
Fain I, dare not lead, dare not pale
Maybe it's easy this way to love
When they took his name
His works and robbed our pain
Of it's alm and it's right to endure
In fear of useless slur
I gave of any hollow crossed
Cause I'll get by
Lover, like I do to haunt again
And rise where that sun
Meets that rain
Taken by the two's in heart
Lover, I would choose to part again
Fain I, dare not lead, dare not pale
'Cause tears aren't, tears aren't a grail
And tears aren't, tears aren't for sale
Though I couldn't cry by design if I tried
I'll get by
Lover, like I do haunt again
And rise
Taken by the two's in heart
Lover, I would choose to part again
And rise
Maybe it's easy this way to love
Or maybe it's easy this way to give up

Don't get me wrong
This ain't so hard
Youth arms my shield
As wish does charge
Don't get me wrong
I aim desires
I aim these qualms
As if (as if) they'd journey where you are
We'll set 'em on fire
We'll set 'em on trial, for laughs
To arc right back where you are
Oh, dopplegang (oh, dopplegang)
Gee, love kids strange
As odd as achin' on
This cybernaut in chains
It looks like a dream (looks like a)
But feels like a fright
To lay on his beams (lay on his)
To sail on the night
We'll prey on his authors
And stamp out their kind, but slowly
Don't get me wrong
This dirge subsides
As fate augers us
By hint, and by slight
I aim these zeroes
I aim their mark
To fear (to fear) these angels on the march
We'll set 'em on fire
We'll set 'em on trial, for lark
To reach right back where you are
But you don't feel (but you don't feel)
Where real meets real
Where souls stand rich enough
To challenge what's revealed
It looks like a dream (looks like a)
But feels like a fright
To lay on his beams (lay on his)
And sail on the night
We'll beg on assassins
To rub out their kind, but slowly
(Don't get me wrong)

Empires
Oh, empires
Oh, empires
Empires your help is on the way
In bonfires slash, circuit breaks and change
Empires, empires
No, you needn't worry, hey
'Bout your empires, empires
You know that zero is one more than null (but a zero)
But a zero can't leave well-enough alone (alone, alone)
Oh, empires
Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes stumble from the mist
Empires, empires
You should mind your trust
Of these empires, empires
You know that zero is one more than null (but a zero)
But a zero can't leave well-enough alone
Who will come for you? Oh no, no, no (no)
Who can't hide from us? Oh no, no, no (no)
Pick your avatars for graves, no, no
Oh, empires
Come and meet your new gods
Livewire and stick
Shock troops and foxes stumble from the mist
It's about your empires, empires
It's about your empires, empires
It's about your empires, empires
Oh, empires

Empires, kiss the brutal fist of hate (hey)
Empires, empires
Who owns the black of the night
In your empires, empires?

Oh, it ain't right

But I will be your serenade

Oh, it ain't right
Philistine or Elohim
Don't you deny our enemies
So fuse yourself, my buccaneers
Treble bright and pistol clear
On sandstone eve and desert howl we'll pike
Here, we'll soar as mutineer
Salty dogs so cavalier
In sacrifice of altars, I built I
It ain't right (it ain't right)

Oh, it ain't right
Philistine or Elohim (it ain't right)
Don't you deny our enemies

Desolation, desolate
Yes, I will be your serenade

Moving heaven and hurt
Dirt, dirt
Moving heaven and earth
Hurt, hurt
No voiceless voices
No soulless souls (souls)
So, these stars have flown (souls)
As some error within
Every system blown to pieces

Night Waves
On splintered glass, we creep
And while this town's asleep
I am prone to weep in a violet storm
So lay my wreath as fault
And waste your prose on all
These nights ain't worth their out
On circles alone
Oh my how the mighty smite
What smolders, what survives?
To destroy all that needs to turn
So everything'll turn out right
There I go again
Come, oh come as doom
As windows to the room
So it's too soon
We whistle to that tune of Ophelia
And die until we'll die no more
There I go, again
Casting doubt and then
Leaving home to mend this broken world
Come (come), oh come as doom
As windows to the room
So, it's too soon
I miss Ophelia
Who died until she was no more
So there I go
With my pal ol' dread
Forbidden cities end
And no friends amend
This debt of air
Are we null at keel
Where mistakes appeal
And mandrakes stomp their heels
On our circles alone
There I go

Space Age
Stars should follow
Stars worth sorrow
Where all tomorrows
That bore brunt, borrowed time
Used to run, run blue
I used to run, run abused
Built 'round an orbit I'd presume
But here there is nothing old, old of you (of you)
And sold, sold as shrewd (as shrewd)
They've spent their legends and said youth
Where now is simply then
I don't know, know true
I just know, know of you (I just know)
Set on a latch and pretty-proofed
I hope you find your sun, sun to shine (to shine)
Where all, all that's mine (that's mine)
Is given up for something wise
So then is simply now
Stars should follow
Stars worth sorrow
Where all tomorrows
That bore brunt, borrowed time
Are mine

Every Morning
Babes in the dark wings
Faun of the wood
Who wouldn't want to yearn
With given names writ
Upon the trunk of god
Where every rune's in gold
Where if you've traveled here, or far
A secret to discard without some change
And oh, I've stood behind those eyes as tired
Astride a soul alone
So face this valley, opine
There's one, one way home that's mine
And right back by your side, I'll lead with you
We're so near to feel unwise
A penny'd heart could never expire
So if you know, lay fast with me now
A requiem ourselves
There's lines to flee (lines to flee)
And ages to reach
In chapters I conceive
Fade along, pale moon
Failed is our tune
A requiem ourselves
Fade along (fade along), pale moon
Failed is our tune
A requiem ourselves
A requiem ourselves
A requiem ourselves
In requiem we cry
In requiem we tried
In mortis, I might weep
In chapters I can't read

To the Grays
I wanna feel a kind
But I could never
I wanna wade through skies
But I could never
I wanna feel love
I wanna feel love
I wanna skip the rain
But I could never
I wanna taste the pain
But I could never
I wanna feel love
I wanna feel love
And into the turning
Turn and face away, love
We turn, turn to change
I'm into burning fields of
Cosmic space and mind, love
To turn, turn away
I should
And yes, I could
But I could never lose
No, I could never lose
Yes, I should
And yes, it's understood
But I could never lose

Beguiled
So swallow hard the serpent
Of many tags and faces hid in masks
Coiled 'round this lung until the last
He'll crack your boots, young pagans
'Cause like you I was hatched to traipse on cold
And seventeen's a long drawn way from hope
And I'll learned these lessons I was taught
Taut, so taut
And now I'm telling you
Return the faith
Return the faith
They're smashing out the veils
Return the faith
And there's no escape
So return the faith
With charging light brigades
Return the faith
You've gotta move
So as betrayed by rainbows
Here I convey I've sold out your dear cause
And the king has placed us in his jaws
It's sure no place can hold us
But in this scene, I'm December
And your June's wretch
And my idyls lay gasping as if death
And I'll learned these lessons I was taught
Taut, so taut
And now I'm telling you
Return the faith
Return the faith
They're smashing out the veils
Return the faith
And there's no escape
So return the faith
With charging light brigades
Return the faith
You've gotta move
Return the faith
Return the faith (return the faith)
Return the faith (return the faith)

The Culling
With fortune I'll live
With fever we will hive
Through pleasant plunder
In iron I came forged
To bind-sooth
With rockets on easy
High disc aglow
A violence swells in tow
Volunteers
Summon here where Atum's renewed
And tell your unders, God ascends exhumed
Avalon
So bid, so long

So bid, so long
Held
As held in farewell

Springtimes
Posie fields, she drifts alone
The sleep of Oz and gramophones
She wound me up so I'll ramble on
To meet her savior, wick and tong
As I've been notice, I've been sharped
And how I know lays cinders at your heart
Ooh, ooh
It's springtime out there where we part
Springtime, oh, oh
It's springtime out there, that's where we part
It's another warm day
With stars that swirl as but leaves
And like another warm day
Where we began as we'll end
Love, our sun, our sexton
Love as one
But wait, these fates knock darkly
But wait, but wait

Sojourner
There's but one faun in the sky
Who brooks like you and I
Who sings his lullabies off key
Who's mystified you
Nay, reminds you
Of how life used to seem
But now, we're together now
Yet somewhere I must somewhere find
That somewhere I should be
And given eyes to lead
It's I, sojourner, I
I, sojourner, lead
I know such tears are admirable
Brought out of year and sensible
All you'll sight is not your kind
He's setting up for nighty-night
Palindrome, palindromes
Can you hear belief?
Heaven's on the beam
I, sojourner, I
I, sojourner flee
In lieu of frozen flame
In step of temporal rage
As crucifixus I've played right thru this
This waning spell of strange
Yet somewhere I must somewhere find
That somewhere I should be
Given eyes to lead
It's I, sojourner, I
I, sojourner, I
Deus ex, unknown
Deus ex machine atoned
'Twas briar 'round the maypole
Sour milk disgraceful
And shot on the late-late show
Yet that they rose
And like the rue, he hath bloomed
Love each other
Love done true
I'm here with you
At home with you
If I'm younger (if I'm younger)
It's you that's moved (it's you that's moved)
This wizened man
Into the child
Seven's I can learn
Heavens I can offer
A resurrection won off forever
As free as you can free
Is free as I'll consider
On slivers of the gray
We're forever, forever

That Which Animates the Spirit
May I have your attention please?
Yes, your hero's come back
And by official decree
Lo, lo, befall
Zero, zero, zero
From a force beyond
As a beckoned belief of magic can't go wrong
For evil, for evil
For evil's song
For evil
For evil's song
Is not too late and we have to wait
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Morning's glory come
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, come
Morning's glory is settled after fire
(Lo) lo, lo
Zero, zero, zero
What's too far to save?
Was too close to ever know
Where we've been afraid
For evil, for evil
For evil's song
For evil
For evil's song
Is not too late and we have to wait
Glory, glory (glory, glory), hallelujah
Morning's glory come
Hallelujah
Zero, zero, zero
Zero, zero, zero
May I have your attention please?

The Canary Trainer
On the trine, fetch the reed
That was drunk of mile and meek
In bittered tears as only cruels sever thee
Yes, I will let you go, I'll let you go
You broke my heart as whole
And leapt unknown and beautiful
Found where there's lilac's brawn
Ideals born of gods
Yet wrecked in man's whole cloth
I would write his calm, I'd even toll
The paper bells of Sunday's crown
In ecstasy and as given what was need
I'd toll the bells of Sunday's crown
You were that fire
That sun on me, yeah
That rooked no shade but held dream
But then you flailed
As only fools could heather love of thee
To go this alone 'gainst time
Where I would let you go, I let you go
You broke my heart as whole
And leapt unknown and beautiful
They'll be no herald's hark
To cleanse a peaked calm in chapels bare and cold
I would author dawn
I'd gladly toll
In ecstasy and as given what was need
To toll such bells and drag such effigies
These paper bells in Sunday's crown toll as you
You stood that fire
That sun on me, yeah
Who rooked no shade but held dream
You were that feast, babe
Containing life and lead
You were that eye that but sees

Pacer
Born on the wheel, Osiris
I was reared to pace
For father swept no kingdom
Dear mother, vent no shame, but given a heart?
I'd milk my share as villain
Forgiveness' stab as the dowel
Frond to frond thru forest
Molten this leap of love
As father, I am risen
Dear mother returns as dust
If given a heart
If given a heart
(Born on the wheel of Osiris)
If given a heart
(I was reared to pace)
If given a heart
(For father swept no kingdom)
(If given a heart)
Oh, shiny
Where you caught me, you caught me
I've praised such cygnets much better than myself
Along these lyres to wind, to perish on fain hope
If given a heart
If given a heart
(Born on the wheel of Osiris)
If given a heart
(I was reared to pace)
If given a heart
(For father swept no kingdom)
If given a heart
(Dear mother, vent no shame)
If given a heart

In Lieu of Failure
I'd pass the salt if I could shake, whoa
I'd blitz your waltz and halve for blame
Oh, just know
My limps and lisps and lays for laughs
My chin and chance and churl are glass
Alright? So send in the drones
And check yourself, aight? (Alright)
Just send in the drones, alright
I warned you, yeah
It's kind bluff
You ain't so tough, so far from home
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, alone, lone
Alone, alone
I'd take you upon fates and frolic, whoa
I'd lollygag and crack some colic
Thar' she blows
My dinks and dings and dangs say bold
My gags and gaffes and grinds gird slow
Alright? Send in the drones
And check yourself, aight? (Alright)
Just send in the drones, alright
I warned you, yeah
It's a blind bluff
You ain't so tough, so far from home
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, alone, lone
Alone, alone
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Alone, lone, alone, lone
Alone, alone (alone)
Check yourself, alright?

Cenotaph
If from one comes one and only one
How is it I tick here so woebegone
Though I cannot feel I note my sums
Two ohms from null
And though but half of you and a mess of fuse
I've witnessed searing love and sought refuge
And as you've come because I grew not used
But ever-fast
Just close those lids and rest assure
As vigilantes and the your in yours's in arms
I'm glad, not sad, no
Should I hope to be the light you'd deny?
Could I scratch the paint to where you must shine?
With tears that we might crush
And you might hide
Should I hope to be the light in your life?
Should I hope to be the pie in your sky?
A la mode with all that's sweet and divine
A path to a path to isles we'd benight
Should I hope to be the light you'd deny?
Could I scratch the paint to where you must shine?
With tears that we might crush and you might hide

Harmageddon
You gotta let me live
You gotta let me die alone and low
You gotta set this right
You gotta light this ark for flight, let's go
I wasn't made for thrift
I wasn't made for grime
They say you can resist
As if these are my times
Say nevermind, let's go
Better angels
Feather souls and fold
Take me where the wind blows
Lift me higher, won't you take hold
Nothing for the sake of zeroes
If I should chance retrace
If I'd a mind to rock away the stone
What I now know is lie
When I now know was rite, as opposed with thine
'Cause what is mine ain't grift
And what is yours ain't bright
They plead you can resist
As if these are my times
Oh, nevermind, let's go
Better angels
Feather souls and fold
Take me where the wind blows
Lift me higher, won't you take hold
Nothing for the sake of zeroes
In lieu of failure
In lieu of standing still
For still we die
In lieu of solar ships
In lieu of heaven's might
To cross these skies
(Here we go)
(Here we go)
Better angels
Feather souls and fold
Take me where the wind blows
Lift me higher, won't you take hold
Nothing for the sake of zeroes
Take me where the wind blows

Fireflies
We stand on clover shield
Hunted, yet unloved
Seasick as one preys
Through tasteless, dray haze
I'm waiting on your fireflies
To illume your lantern bright
Pound fool, 'n penny-wise
Waiting on your fireflies
'Cause some dreams do survive
Wise, ain't I?
Daunted, 'midst ghoulish brides
Embracing on glassed sand
We should clasp hands
Come cherish where I stand
I'm waiting on your fireflies
To illume your lantern bright
Pound fool, 'n penny-wise
Waiting on your fireflies
'Cause some dreams do survive
Wise, ain't I?

Intergalactic
Bain of the breath, how do I find you?
Thin back the cranes left in sky
As sacrifice, without last rite
It falls on thee judge most high
In the pearl of a slummed day
The spirit of us was felt as soft cry
Yes, I'm sure you've inspired with love
But one is more than you are of one
It's time we say goodbye to fair
Farewell to fate as wrung
What makes thee a true assassin
You must ask but yet you know
As equals, as peoples
As bred foes we are the same
In parried odes to the mountains
The spirit of us was pungent laughter
When every road is traveled hard
When every tear is shed for dirt
It's time we say goodbye to fair
Farewell to fate wrung
We'll leave our first kiss
For another lifetime
Another swell time
Another springtime
The voice of God is silence found
The breath of life is borrowed toil
Lift the cross I'm falling down
Peg the pale and brand forlorn
They wouldn't cure, they needn't seal
They wouldn't save an honest savior's soul
Count zero-zero
Zero save zero
Count zero-zero
Zero save zero
Zero save zero
Zero save zero
Zero save zero
Shadowed apses chant my names
Not by birth but the ones thus claimed
Zero save zero
Mother knew but she couldn't know
What they'd do and what they'd howl, yeah
Zero save zero
In situ, zero
You think you're first
You think you're last
You feel you're chosen
Choose what comes to pass
Count zero-zero
Zero save zero
Count zero-zero
Zero save zero
Zero save zero
Zero save zero

Spellbinding
It's Berlin, baby
Luxor 'n daisies
I'm plumb crazy for your tomorrows
It's Weimar, lately
Luxor 'n daisies
I'm plumb crazy for your tomorrows
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
'Cause nobody else could ever mind you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Can you feel this?
Can you feel this?
I can feel this
For your tomorrows
It's Berlin, baby
Luxor 'n daisies
And I'm plumb crazy
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
'Cause nobody else could ever mind you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
You drew to this rye
While I was righting my own sun
Bright as your eye, and glitched
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
'Cause nobody else could ever mind you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
It's Berlin, baby, Weimar blues
Blues and grays won't make the change
Can you feel this love I've made?
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
Take me away, I'm gonna find you
