Sea of Nothing

so it falls on me
to write my own story from here below your sea
notice it's mostly empty?
i dove into your dreams
now i can't go back
i'm breathing for you like you want me to
like you need so, so bad
don't you ever feel like we do this for nothing?
i know that i do sometimes
you get so scared i know
i can see it in your mouth
when you say you've lost hope i could pull my teeth right out
once you were all i needed
you had all the tones that i missed on my own
colored my sea but it couldn't keep
in this deep i'm all alone
don't you ever feel like we do this for nothing?
i know that i do sometimes
we said we'd make it forever
but there wasn't time
i would lose my life

one two-fold crash above my head
eyes roll up
i see two dead cold pink bags of bleeding meat
from on high they turn and slide down upon my musing mind
sent to sleep by their own kind
it seems they sink when they die
fumes from their blood fill my nose
one half skin one half just bones
in their eyes i see void
in their eyes i can see mine
wide and hiding from the light
roll as i fold into brine
is it day or is it night?
you say i need to decide
so, this is my fate....
though i know you now your shades and sounds soon will all dissolve to grayness and noise like we never connected at all
i don't feel warm in this light
in this shine we have no sight
no love lasting past this fight
in this mist we vaporize
is it day or is it night?
it's just dark all the time

hello my cold shadow
i see you sliding into my new castle
like i was hiding???
i'm coming up while you want me sinking.......
you do too much thinking!!
i've been thinking too!!!!!
i told you one time i wouldn't take it!!!
i don't think that made you confused but i dunno!!!!!!!!!!
i said it six times
one more would be deadly!!!!
wind up my spiral to get myself away
that separation
i know you got shook
but i gotta trust you to make it out alone!
my new creation is the light i choose
gonna do like i like to do
and you can do you too!!
you cannot come back again
down, down deeper colors all get cold!!!!
yellow is an ancient! even red is old!
i'll be above you where the green is!!!!!
casting you below me
and i hope you like blue!!!!!!!!

(rings)
i cant move you out of my mind
while i'm solo you're inside
i don't glow so deep below you
i can't shine when you take your light from my way
(spiral)
just imagine how bad it would be
if i was the worst you
and you were the worst me

Castaway's Song

please just pass me by.....
guess i never learned to survive
in between the burn of the city lights and the cold city peoples' eyes
never learned how to melt like they seemed to
but i learned how to lie
and lied my way onto some old sailing pile of tied up sticks
couldn't know where to go
so i steered for the storm
can't call me a castaway
this was my idea
i cast myself into the sea
and you all just let me go
so i'm out here alone
begging ships to pass by me
guess i never learned how to drive
couple of miles and the raft capsized
and i held on for dear life
crooked fingers gripping driftwood
like i never learned how to swim
can't call me a castaway
this was my own plan
i had no home in my homeland
and nobody misses me save the surrounding sea
here on this sandbar where i stand
my old man used to get a laugh at passers-by
he'd yell "IGNORE ME!!!!" and he'd cackle when they couldn't comply
sometimes i feel like him
out here on my island
singing "please just pass me by..."

seeking you in this twilight
almost like i can see
spiral, down in that coldness
i dream you back to me
rings went still when you dropped me
wetness squeezing my arms
so much you under my skin
in this pressure i'm unharmed
i ran out of the time i need to think
all i know is i cant find you once i sink
i find myself behind the brink of gone
i can't hide what fate i want
sink out of my memory
dive until i'm a ghost
topside i was so fearful
so exhausted, as you know
still i almost can see you
in sun-rings under my eyes
while i woke up without you i still found you
always i want to connect with you
but i got the wrong words in my mind!
i could learn how to tell what might resonate well
i just hope that i still got the time
always i want to connect with you
but i take the wrong tones when i try!
i could learn how to sing the most perfect things
i just hope that i still got the time

once in this sea
it was only you and me
floating happy free
how we used to be
now where i stand
see you waving on the sand
i'll float away to the light
i see it shine
sparkling bright
at the end of the nighttime
i thought i'd miss you
i guess i was wrong
i once did feel you
now that feeling's gone
i used to hold you
you were barely there
i tend to jet when i get too scared

I Seek

when i left my seed
poked out with my feet
met my family
i had to be held
the cold and the angry smells
i was overwhelmed....
soon they took me home
dodged the tornadoes
i thought they'd never leave
now they're all but gone
just a thing that i think on
while i'm wandering
i can't move you out of my mind
while i'm solo you're inside
i don't glow so deep below you
i can't shine when you take your light from my way
as you say, i'll stay away....
when i learned to eat
broke in my baby teeth
i thought about death
when i learned to love
held you in the sun
i thought about death....
now i'm thinking less
drowned out my distress
feels better this way i guess
why can't we just last?
who makes our time pass?
who controls the speed?
can they just slow down?

hello!
hope you're not too worn out
go ahead and slide over
listen close and you'll hear something exciting!
is that alright with you?
won't you come along?
it won't hurt a bit
just kick off your feet, unzip your skin, close down your eyes
you won't need those where we're going
deep, deep down
in the space between two still bodies
below the abyss of together
there is a wall and there is a door
and beyond: the castle
crystal columns
bricks that drip like fountains
they smile as you come closer
they say: "hello! it's so wonderful to see you again!"
it's okay to keep your eyes closed
this place is happy to see you
it wants to play you a song
it's a long way walking through
all the fears you ran away from
oozing away
forming again into anything you like

shiny little buddy, why have you come?
let me get you under my metal thumb!!!!!!!
take me back to the reason you run
was it like the end when you had begun?
"love is godforsaken," that's what you said
if you got the "time," try this instead:
(1) love is just religion
(2) "time" is dead
(3) god is me
(4) i live in your head
anything you shouldn't, that's what you did
vapor type of brain and a cult of squid
you got that disease that time don't fix
every type of pain is a sign of it
well could i be the circles lit behind your eye?
could i be a ghost come to watch you die?
i might be an animal!
i might be high!!
i might be immortal!!!
yeah that seems right!!!!!!!!!!!!
light shines
the sun and the sand
when i send you back don't forget my plan
you have to make some music!!
you have to dance!!!!
and teach 'em how to dance when you find the chance!!!!!!!!!!

where have we been?
locking eyes as i stop in
this space is greeting me
find my place so easily again
it lets me know
when i forget
i'm not alone
i've got a home
and i think i might make it
i hope you got time to love....
i take my time feeling love
until i can't feel at all
and in my wayward waves
i sink below the spraying sky
and say goodbye
and i think i might make it
i hope you got time to love
i hope you got time to stay in love....
what can i say?
i feel lost when we don't connect at all
and you've been gone so, so long
though i see you right beside me now
i'll show you how i think i might make it
