I’m standing still in time. Seeds to infinite lives. They’ll fruit in light or be taken over in the dark. Still the sound of knowing I could drown. It fools my mind. There’ll be another path? Settle down. Wandering through time and space, searching for new life. Stale, misconstrued common-place hollowing truth out. I’ve fallen ill with doubt. One foot in and one out. It has fooled my mind. Taking over in my sight. Still the sound of all that I’ve found; Like waves of light illuminate the night. Settle down. Now the part where I make a move. Are we the children of old or new? All the lives that I sifted through…never thought to be here with you. While the lies pile up and they take what they want. I didn’t take but I wanted to. All it takes is a thought or two. Wide awake in the solitude. I’m alone but I’m here with you. While the dust covers us, I can see through it. It’s a start. Can I see it through? Didn’t break but I need it to. All it takes is a thought or two. I escape in the thought of you. While the rust covers us, I’m alone and I’m letting myself out. Taking a step now. Making the next sound. Breathing it out loud. Holding myself up. Leading myself on. Breaching my self doubt. Learning inside out. Letting ourselves out. Taking the steps now. Making the next sounds. Screaming them out loud. Holding ourselves up. Leading ourselves on. Breaching our self doubt. Loving inside out. Learning is god now. These spaces are nameless. Be conscious, don’t crush us. This hatred has traded our lives for the worst of war. Push inward. Push outward. Become whole. Become love. I’m standing still in time. Seeds to infinite lives. They’ll fruit in light or be taken over in the dark. Still the sound of knowing I could drown. It fools my mind. There’ll be another path? Still inside. There’s infinite life in finite time. There’ll be another path.

Your tick’s louder. Moves us further. Takes me over. Spin my world slower. Fear creeps in, crawling; when you come calling. Breathe me out softer. I’ll take my pain slower. I couldn’t get up, so I just lied to you, thinking there was love in us. But pushing your hands till you talked back…what a time and what a rush. Wasn’t enough. How could a lie ever lead to any love in us? But holding your hands till they both stopped…wasn’t time and wasn’t us. I couldn’t get back, so I just lied to you, wishing there was love in us. But pushing your hands till you walked back…wasn’t time, it was a rush. Wasn’t enough. How could denial ever lead to any love in us? But holding your hands when the clocks stop… Lead us over. Take me closer. Life feels somber. Take it easy, brother. Fear writes my story. Bring me your glory. Life can't be over. Take it easy, brother. Read it slower. Move on slower. Make me beat slower. Take me slower.

You couldn’t change the pace. Feel me out. We can’t stay. Let go. You make the same mistakes. Breathe in slower. It can’t wait. Let go. So let go.

Paths

I drifted off and dreamed about a strange land. A place where hate and fear could never fade away. Where famine, rape and war were seen as alright. It starts to feel familiar, I don’t understand. Come on now, wake up it’s alright. Come on, get up, wake up, explain away. Come on now, wake up, it’s sunlight. Come on, I’m up, you’re on, explain away. We went to bed and woke up in a sick land. A place where human decency has been locked away. Where god and country seized all of our homeland, and maps and borders rule above a lending hand. Come on now, this isn’t alright. Come on, get up, you’re on, explain away. Come on now, this isn’t over. Come on, get up, you’re on, explain away. Slow down. How could we let this go down? How do we explain this? Breathe out. We’ve sunk but we won’t all drown. Press on until we’re well. Push forward. How could we let this become law? How do we explain this burst of war? We’ve sunk but all of this won’t crush us. Press on until we’re well. Explain to me a way that this all ends right, and justify our children being left for dead. Explain how oppression gets the “alright”. Explain what will forever make me understand. Come on now, I’m up now. You’re on, explain away. Come on now, we’re up now. Explain what will forever make me understand. And forever make me understand. Stand up and sing it: we are one. Explain how you see that this is alright. Explain what will forever make me understand. Explain how you sleep and is it all night? Is this a dream or have we made it real? Come on now, you’re on it’s alright. Explain it and explain it and explain away.

Redesign

Why are we still alive? I can tell that you need another redesign…but don't take it easy, mother.
All these years of pain and war. Imagine the things that we could've done. Redesign in time to stay alive. Redesign. It’s time to break apart. Redesign in time to stay alive. Save yourself. Make your way without us. Take our reign. Take our legs. Take away. Take our voices. Accost them. Be done when you’re lovely. Take our reign. Take our legs. Take away. We caused this.

I try to be your home. Seeing you come and go. I know your eyes don’t close. Adjust the light and let go. Let me come and go. Try to breathe alone. You are designed to grow. Accept your place and let go. So let go, slow.

Criminals

If we wait, they’ll make us criminals. Mind their pace. We’ve done this before. Leaving something we can always take and burn alive. Saving something we can always use to sacrifice. Once they came for them pulling just a thread. Then they came again holding several ends. They will come for us I swear. Here they come again. Watch how they pretend. Leaving something we can always take and burn alive. Saving something we can always use to sacrifice. Once they came for them pulling a thread. Then they came again with gathered ends. They will come for us in a disguise. When they come alive, they’ll shatter lives. When they came for them, they pulled just a thread. Then they came again, leaving them all dead. They will keep their pace, I swear. Here they come again. Watch how they pretend.

Life in the dark. Is it nice to know your side of the line is doing fine? Hello. Hide. Cover your eyes. Take in the lies. Leave your siblings to die and lie. Cover your mind. Waste space and time. Let the earth fall apart or rise. Open your eyes. Come to realize, we can align and redesign. Break up your mind. Welcome to real life. There's nothing to fear except us. Progress over blind, dead idols. And believe your eyes. And become alive. Shots in the dark. Is it right to hold your side of the line? Who decides? Reload. My, what a time to be alive. To know what life could be like but we lack the sight. Rise. Open your eyes. Come to realize, we can align and redesign. Break up your mind. Welcome to real life. There's nothing but us. Brother always keeps his promise. Mother always finds a balance. Who will name us? Who will save us now? Will the chains rust out? Who will save us? Kindly say enough. Calmly set it off. Quietly shake the world. Finally say enough. Shake the world. Finally set it off. Shake the world. Dear Brother, hold mother’s love. Brother; flow. Mother; home.

Settle

Iʼll feel it out as a slave to time, and Iʼll find a way to settle down. And Iʼll make mistakes. Will they be the same? And Iʼll feel the wake settle down. Iʼll see it out, as the earth divides. And Iʼll breathe alone and settle down. Have I done enough? Have I learned to love? Will our life dissolve or settle down? The violence in us all, it cycles and evolves, but progress is resolve, so settle down. Now Iʼve seen enough. Itʼs time I speak up, until Iʼve turned to dust and settle down.

Action, do you precisely belong to me? All this motion and such little questioning. Wait, ask what it takes to quit circling. I don’t know why I can’t keep from stumbling. Comprehend our common thread. Our connection’s limitless. Speaking is a part of it but taking steps means everything. Common sense or common lens? Progress is imperative. Dreaming is a part of it but forward steps mean everything. I can’t bare their pain so I take a stand for their sake but I can’t bare the weight so I never stand up straight. And I blame the pain. I can’t stand the blame. This nest is her mind; spinning around, streaming around mine. How could I let go? But I let go, slow. The scent of her heart; swimming inside, screaming inside mine. Its infinite glow is clear. I can see her in the dark. And in the light. And in the mind. And in the eyes. And in the heart. Glowing. Going. Bright eyes light sings through dark nights, cries, fights, rips through my eyes. Writes timeless lullabies, abides crimes. Timeless are your eyes. Common sense is coming since progress is imperative. Dreaming is a part of it but every step means everything. And it’s coming in like an endless sea. Taking everything and everything means every thing. Action, I know you precisely belong to me. Slow motion and endlessly questioning. Now I know what it takes to quit circling, and I know how I’ll keep from stumbling. Light sings through dark nights. Fights, rips through my eyes. Timeless lullabies. Timeless are your eyes.
