pushed and pulled
to and fro
nowhere to go but our dreams
they thought they
could bury us
but they didn't know we were seeds
and I wish I could tell you/what it is to be free/slip along like a leaf on the breeze
silence falls
under the stars
visions from the dust
gazes avert,
colours invert
and our eyes have yet to adjust
eyeless times and earless, if they render us fearless, shall these not too see and hear?
on my tongue
the lobe of a lung
an instrument given voice
we cannot live
just for ourselves
we're bound by sympathetic strings
it's only damnation, or transfiguration, unconditional love is my currency
our dreams catch fire
'round the edges
and burn like paper to ash
nurturing weeds that grow
green and pure
from the graves of our roses
before me goeth a light, behind me a sword, within me the notes of secret chords
there is no word
tender enough
to be the sound of your name
cross our lips
swear to live
match the pulse of your pulse with my own
some eyes can touch you/more than hands ever could/your heart takes me somewhere good
bring back the world
then take it away
all i need is you
If you let
me borrow a kiss
I’ll give it right back to you
the big heart dances/when the little heart sings/knitting gossamer skies from clear blue wings
sun rerisen
where starlight sank
renewed like plants from a seed
the ancestors
dwelling in my blood
sing my children to sleep
we dreamers derided, we foam on the sea, we blinded lights that learned to see
tip the wind
right with your wings
sow seedlings into trees
then take flight
on an uplift of mood
and drift so high on the breeze
at the moment of vision/the eye sees nothing/it's the moment of truth that keeps me here
pushed and pulled
to and fro
nowhere to go but our dreams
they thought they
could bury us
but they didn't know we were seeds
and at last I can tell you/what it is to be free/slip along like a leaf on the breeze
