“stand in the form of Christ”

I’ve heard a hundred hours breaking from the inside

crushing a choice left far behind

i tried to understand the future

lay still across  the sky

drop apart every word of regret

still i stand still as a witness to God

trapped at the table where my voice is discarded

but still I can’t forgive myself

ask for absolution to stand in the form of Christ

to be my guide into the future

when the disciples burn the candles

look towards the sky

are you every dream in my hand?

beyond every inscription from Heaven

we walk to stand still

children lost in the parade

every innocence pinned deep in value

to ascertain the turmoil written in my eyes

to glance at the table towards perfection

did I burn my prize too hard?

stories hidden with too much truth

when lies can’t be hidden in the dark

I can’t forget my mistakes

if they shine the light from heaven

will you ever listen?

“press a million doors open”

are we close to getting up

are we close to burning out from the inside

take a breath 

I have found an answer inside your eyes

Break these lines tearing us apart

Capture my heart before it’s too late

Run away into the point where everything matters at once

Have you got inside my head

Have you turned me upside-down?

Did I lose grip with everything that mattered?

Did I forget how to live?

Did I forget how to breathe?

Sit up against the burning sky

Stand up from a million points of light

Are you the one inside my head?

Are you the one that got away?

Are you the one running back and forth through my dreams?

Wake up against a beating heart

Is it too late to claim my sanity?

Are we too tired to remember our names?

Are we too tired to dream into the future

Waiting outside in the pouring rain

Waiting outside with a burning instinct

Press a million doors open with your eyes

“in love with a ghost”

In love with a ghost

Afraid of the world given to me

Breaking down a memory ward

Voices falling from heaven

Locked in trespass…a room…a prison meant to carry on

Faces scattering watching time burn

Sketching out the hidden souls before they disappear 

Look towards the sky but it’s all allusion 

Mistakes filmed beyond sources agonized through experiment  

Perspectives damages

Treating a disease falling from the asylum pushed past incurable regret 

Disordered thoughts avoiding destination 

Too blind to see the world

Voices demanding solitary confession

Collecting desires…pushing towards the hill

Treating the broken corners driven by unstable minds

Truth slipping away

Empathy washing away their skin

At the gates I can see their faces

Voices breaking down these fences of my heart

Shaking a bell to heaven…don’t let it burn from implication

the chemical compass of your heart

The world painted in blue and green

Faces disappear from the trickery running behind your eyes

Watching the marks of skipping stones

I felt a difference across the wires of your escape

Bringing out every ounce of purity

When we start to believe in our senses

Drop all the pain of constriction

A battle of our senses

Pushing every trace across the water

When the ships burn the night into something beautiful

A compass to your heart exploding through the wires

Like a fisherman 

Like a lifeguard

Like an act of faith

Watching the water for miles and miles

Marching like the sun in a far escape

Like a fisherman

Like a lifeguard

Like an act of faith

When we sail to burn the stars past the chemical compass of your heart

“Amplified Secrets”

Drowning in the blind seas

Boats cross a vacant memory tumbling like pinwheels

Stars like surprise to count the distance

Wipe the glass illusion

(From withstanding beauty)

Faces like chemicals burning to dust

Colors shake the lost patterns of redefined creation

Dismiss a vacant voice haunting the tempest

Climbing bridges under needles in your parade

Blueprints capturing imagination marching for freedom of consciousness

At last when we break the bells too divine to wake the dead

Confusion of relapse

Passing down a purity locked with questions

Visions left unheard

To face the silence of constriction

Burning light through day

To transcribe hues of understanding

When faith dances around a sentence reflecting colors lost with amplified secrets marching the silent outbreak within damaged light

Running through ageless snow-filled skies

Destabilize a freezing control of returning implication

A permanent reiteration calculating the divisional value from shadows resolved in the night’s emotional ring of amplified secret illusional control

Don’t Harsh my Mellow II

walking down the street to find my way through the damaged halls

look up at the sky to find a million colors standing in the sky

to remember why we trespass on top of the emotional divide

like acrobats spinning across wires in their minds

breaking all the words in their heads like texturized emotion

on top of the lighthouse matching illusion with the seas of aqua waves building higher and higher

open up all the values of transcending collapse

bursting with emotion on top of the mirrors edge

like a razor running across the seascape

walking across the waves like fences broken like crystalized glass amplified by secrets driven past a witness in the boathouse

illusions building deeper and deeper

lost as sea behind a shipwrecked skyline

A way out above the sky

above the stars in your mind

ships that sail across the ocean illuminating everlasting emotions in your memorized visions like trespass
