Surrender Never Stops

the first time i couldn’t move
i fell sideways down a hill
embers in the growth
standing in stillness
i spoke outside in tongues and
fell helpless into lakes
while the world was burning
while my heart was burning
surrender never stops
it never yields a chance
until you break
the first time i broke
my skin became free and it
rose into the sky and
we took the cure and never asked why
surrender never stops

Find The Bullet

from the rallying sound of
the dreams you locked away
you always deferred life
that’s where you found your faith
and if fireworks are god
then shoot the gun for all to find
shoot the gun for memories and
whatever works this time
find the bullet and you know
find the bullet and that’s life
find the bullet and the water
will hold you safely tonight
and in the safety of the cold
shake it off, bring it all back home
take the truth and blend the blessings in
to the perfect rosary of deferred sin
find the bullet
all dark stars and i know you’re hurting
looking for
a starburst of hope out in the heavens
how can i lift you off the ground
how can i help you find the magic bullet

Democracy Failed Again
05:16

you told me you’re always right
as soon as we met
i thought that was ironic as it’s
what i used to say
then you told me you aren’t gay
and you laid down on my bed
and for awhile our sides agreed as
long as the truth went unsaid
as it always does
as it always ends
democracy failed again
cause you are who you are and
you are not going to change
no-one meets no-one resolves
no-one lays their opinions down
even if something special is found
it can’t break thru the stone of
the flags that define who we are the
flags that leave us isolated and
alone
as it always does
and somewhere in your homeland of peru
there’s a vote for you and
there’s a vote for me
somewhere else and that’s not going to help us to see
our way
not today
democracy

Under His Skin

she sails the sea
under his skin
he can’t help but sink
she won’t teach him how to swim
she’s helpless on her end
he’s helpless on his
and there with the anemones
the sand feels so warm
even though it’s cold
it’s cold and nobody wins
where is her hand at night
he feels his skin pull tight
like a universe imploding
the anger exploding and
wasn’t there love here once?
weren’t the waves friendly but
nobody can breath
nobody wants to leave
because sometimes it feels warm
even though it’s cold
it’s cold and
under his skin she breaths a little
just a little
under his skin she breaths a little
just a little
and that’s enough to keep him going
just a little
under his skin
where are the lost ships
where are the lost maps
how does everyone lose sight
of the way out and the way things
came to be
they are a country divided
a land received
she sails away and
he no longer believes
