So Still 07:10
a chance encounter, that was all one melancholy day wandering aimlessly our eyes met along the way no definite direction shoes skimming foreign ground two souls long ago misplaced beginning to be found now deep in the gray swirling clouds in your warm embrace I'm snugly safely bound lost in the sound as the tide crashes over us and pours out through the limbs and branches across the rooftops and over the hills and it was so quiet soft and violet so still heavy evergreen perfume of a summer day the air hanging lazily in a haze around the lake water ripples crests and fades salutes the vaporous clouds that span the wide horizon and lay their shadows on the ground deep afternoon in the shade of our dwelling place tucked back into the trees together we'll lay breathing full of the radiance that filters through the limbs and branches across the rooftops and over the hills and it was so quiet soft and violet so still

o gentle creature speak to me and tell me of your travels what radiant things your eyes have seen keeping watch among the flowers as the night grows closer, love, and overtakes the sky see how the darkness swallows up the sun and enfolds you into the veil of peace, peace, peace and colors your dreams, dreams, dreams all snowy and sweet, sweet, sweet little rabbie o guardian of the forest floor so earnest and sincere what secrets does the mossy ground confide in your long ears as the night night grows closer now and overtakes the sky? see how the darkness swallows up the sun and enfolds you into the veil of peace, peace, peace and colors your dreams, dreams, dreams all snowy and sweet, sweet, sweet little rabbie

quiet and alone surrounded by a city of a hundred thousand souls day after day just passing by more footprints on the shore messy and undone and neck deep in the order of a hundred thousand laws standing in our places and wondering wondering what for until we heard the call from a long way off so directionless and small and so we ran it down drawn forward by the sound of your iron siren song we strained our eyes until you came into our sight and threw our arms out wide to greet you down the line in the silent evening heat of the day escaped the thrill of the night awaits fiery western sky streetlamps flickering sputtering to life fumbling for the light that burns deep in the core of us begging to be untied filling secret spaces in lonely watch obscured from the outside until we heard the call from a long way off so directionless and small and so we ran it down drawn forward by the sound of your iron siren song we strained our eyes until you came into our sight and threw our arms out wide to greet you down the line stranded in place but with a wanderer inside with hearts that long to travel far and free so here we'll stand and dream of following your line until at last it's time for us to heed the call from a long way off so directionless and small we're gonna run you down drawn forward by the sound of your iron siren song we'll strain our eyes until you're here within our sight and throw our arms out wide to greet you down the line

Velvet 03:10
velvet hands on my shoulder velvet feet on my lap just when we thought it was over velvet brought the feeling back ever since the day you came into our lives you've brought such joy into our family from where we came so worried and afraid now together we are safe velvet proud and noble hunter sworn protector of the night velvet friend to all creatures o sweet velvet of mine

been walking a road with no direction for miles there hasn't been a sign no matter how he scans and searches the horizon he can't see for out of focus eyes spending his days bobbing and weaving through thorns scratching at his skin and dreaming of the day he might finally outrun this as whispering fingers pull him in in hazy dreams she comes to him and through the gloom he feels her touch soft and alive her hands her eyes break through the shadows of the night that has reigned so long and stolen so much been living a life with no reflection afraid to look for what he'd find just stares into the dark in the shadows where he hides her the light in the dungeon of his mind in hazy dreams she comes to him and through the gloom he feels her touch soft and alive her hands her eyes break through the shadows of the night her saving wings he swears he sees wrap 'round protecting at his sides and he holds on that he might fly from dim narcotic powered sleeping his body trembled with a start just as he felt her hair cascade across his shoulder and come to rest upon his heart been walking a road with no direction

Invocation 04:51
silver wings paper fingers tied with string lit with cinders gray blue eyes curls of vapor rooting down ever deeper o soft night trusted sister o dear treasure speak your sign blessed mother be my protector in all things with every whisper guide me in let me see your gray blue eyes curls of vapor rooting down ever deeper o soft night trusted sister o dear treasure speak your sign blessed mother be my protector silver wings paper fingers tied with string lit with cinders

softly i open the window and slide my legs out over the sill now free until daylight tomorrow i finally can exhale i'll awake from the world's expectations those vines that twist round and choke out my sight and escape from the day's complications that swelter and burn til night for as the streets give up their heat into waiting boughs of trees i can climb my way up to the rooftop where nobody sees how i'll float up high and free feel the stars under my feet and i'll fly away on moonlit wings while the world beneath me sleeps i close the back door behind me and step out into the evening air the peace that so seldom can find me calls softly from way out there i creep through each day barely noticed not quite a fit wherever i am i can't seem to follow the signposts the world seems to understand but as the streets give up their heat into waiting boughs of trees i can climb my way up to the rooftop where nobody sees how i'll float up high and free feel the stars under my feet and i'll fly away on moonlit wings while the world beneath me sleeps but there by the light of the moon i can see someone's face and the air from the street whips us up into space not alone for we shine in the eyes of a friend o we'll steal far away and (dual vocal) we can / no more will i awake from the world's expectations those vines that twist round and choke out our sight and escape from the day's complications that swelter and burn til night / creep through each day barely noticed not quite a fit wherever i am i can't seem to follow the signposts the world seems to understand for as the streets give up their heat into waiting boughs of trees we can climb our way up to the rooftop where nobody sees how the sky bursts at its seams when you're here right next to me and we'll fly away on moonlit wings while the world beneath us sleeps

when january's soft light rolled in twisted clouds across the sky voices small how they called and the silent air sighed with a soul surrendering its fight one rise one fall my love moved on and the life he breathed out made its way to the stars and how they call! in this place we once shared what is there that's left for me right now but empty halls empty halls I've been facing nowhere and all that i can see or hear or feel is what i've lost what i've lost because every still moment is frayed with the thought of what i've lost. is frayed and torn with what I've lost one day unexpected from somewhere way back behind the walls grew a warm loving calm and i felt your presence with a weighty warmth within my soul to guide me on to guide me on and the life you breathed out streamed back down from the stars and how you call from every star how you call and guide me on

dawn and leaving you pillows can't keep me close to you at daybreak morning bells and sunshine on your glistening eyes benches and strangers are writing to you but sidewalks and streetlights can't read me your thoughts slowly the days go by moments stretching past the point of breaking through shattered panes the daylight scatters round my mind benches and strangers are writing to you but sidewalks and streetlights can't read me your thoughts still walking but at my feet appears a message written soft and sweetly it says I'll always love you every day and night no benches no strangers can keep me from you when sidewalks and streetlights all lead to your heart
