LYRICS

 

Narwhal

 

 

drifting

 

through the breeze

 

shatters

 

into pieces

 

eyes are dry

 

mirrors

 

in the night

scatter

 

distant lights

 

signals

 

in the dark

morning birds

 

on the wind

 

pulled by

 

the waves breathing

 

I swim in

 

the rushing colors

 

of dreams

my body crashes

 

against the rocks

 

dancing

Beard

 

 

I sail waters

 

in a maze of light

 

 

floating boats

 

breath in and out

 

 

foaming reach

 

along the pier

 

 

distant lights

 

hanging from

 

the shore

 

 

crossing waters

 

falling into night

a satellite

 

drifting above

 

the human tide

 

 

inbound vessels

 

watch the caves

 

come alive.

 

 

follow lights

 

up and down

 

the street

 

 

escaping years

 

buried in concrete

I sail waters

 

in a maze of light

 

 

lost in my beard

 

in the tangled sound

 

of waves

 

 

falling colors

 

echo across the night

 

 

 

Summer Drive

 

 

tracing aimless rivers

 

into fogged car windows

 

late night drive with the

 

 headlights out

 

in trails

 

of fallen moonlight

 

just feeling it out.

 

reaching out

 

with the windows down

passing  fireflies

 

outrun the night

 

like Chinese stars

 

 

outrun the night

 

before the autumn starts

 

and it starts again

Odaiba

 

 

my eyes

 

drift around

 

the open sea

 

 

lost

 

in trails

 

falling off

 

in the ghost

 

white breeze

 

out there

 

floating colors chased

 

out from the shore

in a breath

 

drifting out

 

push and

 

pulling the

 

oceans apart

 

in the warm

 

mix of waves

 

pushing you away

 

and drawing me in

Sunset on the Empire

 

 

 

Above the clouds

 

floating on air

 

still a long ways away.

 

I feel free up here.

 

far from the docks

 

and the trouble I know

 

circles around in my head

 

places I have been

lost in the clouds

 

in rich marmalade

 

 

see everything

 

I have ever seen

 

 

in a warm rush

 

I fall

Arctic Orion

 

 

 

slow moves

 

out here

 

catch up with me

 

 

 

in my shirt

 

I feel

 

I'm a marked man

 

 

 

 

fill my chest

 

with smoke

 

in rushed short breath

this strange moon

 

moves through my head

 

 

visions of home

 

move through the sand

 

 

 

swing my restless arms

 

spooked by

 

low hanging stars

 

as silence rattles the shore

 

I step into the dark

Ride the Bike

 

 

 

lose yourself

wind in your face

falling back to earth

 

let it roll

in constant motion

weaving in and out

of here

 

copper sun

washes over

rust-belt towns

and empty

rail yards

 

jumping over

popper wheelies

rabbit holes and

trap doors

disappear

 

nothing new

streets fall one by one

each year

ramps made from empty swimming pools

astronauts falling

from the stars

wildflowers pushing

through the streets

as you lose yourself

in the fall

fall back to earth

cross town at

the speed of light

enough daylight

to make it home

sunlight fades

beneath the street

as darkness rolls

into town
