Quiet Place

In a quiet place
Me and my thoughts
Cup of coffee and
A book from the shelf
Here’s my peace of mind
Here the centre holds
Only way that I can unwind
Soothe my troubled soul
Silence the bells, lock the doors
Peace and quiet I want more
I try not to buy what they sell
In a quiet place by myself
Daylight fades and nighttime falls
I am not taking any calls
You must take care of yourself
In a quiet place by myself
Sometimes you wanna find the reason why
The comfort of your home, you can’t deny
I know you want to fly above the eyes
The effort all your own, that’s no surprise
The pieces of my mind
As it unfolds
The only way that I can unwind
And soothe my troubled soul
Silence the bells, lock the doors
Peace and quiet I want more
I try not to buy what they sell
In a quiet place by myself
Daylight fades and nighttime falls
I am not taking any calls
You must take care of yourself
I’m in a quiet place by myself

You say I can, and I can’t stand
I’ll be a man when I grow up
Outlook deadpan, I’m in the pan
You raise the flames and I’m no fan
Bathe my soul in golden oil
I never handle chores
Lay the world down cold and coiled
Heading down I’m sore
I never had the nerve nor the courage
To simply speak my mind
It comes all out at once
From time to time
News when I land, I take a stand
I took the pulpit and I ran
You say I can, when I began
I knew the root would meet the end
Bathe my soul in golden oil
Letting go, I’m spoiled
Lay the world down cold and coiled
Heading down I’m sore
I never had the nerve nor the courage
To simply speak my mind
It all comes out at once
From time to time

Go Way Slow

Go way slow, snowed window
Bow end cold, though airflow
Blow, fading glow, go way home

No One but Me

The road goes on in all directions
Which one will we take?
Help me make the selection
It is our fate we make
To walk into the setting sun
And onward to the moon
For me you are the only one
Alone you fill my room
See what you’ve done to me
Feel when I see
Hear these words I speak to you
If it’s not too much to ask of you
Touch that part inside of me
That lives only for you
Hide my secrets deep inside
And tell no one but me
From root to fruit we grow and reach
How I listen when you preach
Let me be your listener
As you are my sound
Guiding light star in the night
Be the reason for my sight
Vision prism how I’m wishing
You will be my definition
See what you’ve done to me
Feel when I see
Hear these words I speak to you
If it’s not too much to ask of you
Touch that part inside of me
That lives only for you
Hide my secrets deep inside
And tell no one but me

Longing

Sing sad song when I’m down
Sing good song when I’m happy
Shine a light on my frown
Make a sound when I’m angry
They had a tool, I had one too
But I’m longing
I wake up to make up with you
But it’s just me
When we fight it’s a crime
Sake of this don’t fuss now
When the tears flow like wine
'Til I’m grown don’t adjust much
The attitude, I had one too
But I’m longing
And then a fool I had eschewed
Now it’s just me

Momma say I’m special
Depression, anxiety
They got the best of me
But mamma say I’m special
Yeah, I know I’m special
Something to behold
Standing on the shore
Wingspan wide
Not stuck to the ground
Build the life
I always wanted
Gonna fly so high
Fly day and night
We’ll go much farther
We flow like water
Now we livin’ that dream
No negative thinking
We know what it is
Our every wish
Wingspan wide
We’re soaring high
We know what it is
The life we livin'
Something to behold
Standing on the shore

Particle & Wave
03:33
|

In life we see the darkest things
Illumination, knowledge brings
Once revealed and never unseen
Within and without our being
Sacred truth is brought to light
Dawn arising from the night
As each day brings anew
Get closer to all that's true
Walk the path by lantern's light
Don't get lost in the night
Stars older than history
Guide us in our destinies
From them we ourselves are made
Atoms came to earth and stayed
As the universe surrounds
So many inside abound
Particle and wave, I am both I say
I am just a moment, hope you I find at the time
Speed of light the sound of time
Speak no lie and do no crime
Know the way through light and dark
Trusting only in the heart
Lead you safe to the oasis
Or the forest of strange faces
Whatever fuels the fire inside
Love or only dark desire
Particle and wave, I am both I say
I am just a moment, hope you I find at the time

Epiphany
02:17
|

|
Self-destruct with the slightest touch
Memories don’t serve me much
Weather makes me so hot and cold
What I learnt from being so bold
The finer things you know that I can’t have
Let me never me feel so bad
Many changes to my scenery
Contemplate what you mean to me
You’ve got the sun in your eyes
Knew the moon is the prize
Visions of what I could feel inside
Make me slump and then make me hide
Counting sheep til my epiphany
I know the changes begin with me
The finer things you know that I have had
Never let me feel so bad
Time we made has me feeling glad
I didn’t choose to remain monad
You’ve got the sun in your eyes
Knew the moon is the prize
Sky reflects in the sea
I see in you what’s inside of me
