why do you wait
for things to come true?
when most of the time
things do not come true
so why don't you try
a new point of view
where you choose something
to make things
move like a paddle
on a boat
unless you are wanting
to sit and float
all your life
like a person
who's holding time
for ransom
or a rhyme
and i'm
finally
learning from you
i don't know
if you even
want me to
all my life
i've waited
for things
to
come true.
to be done to me
and done for you
to be made easy and simply
like falling or floating
like kaleidoscope's define
and all of this puzzle
i swear it lied
and i'm not ready
to decide
i know i swear
i keep telling you
i will decide
(why don't you make me decide?
why don't rip this blindfold
off of my eyes?)

rabbit hole

Here in this room
I feel this tomb
closing in around me
like a drug
I didn't mean to take
didn't mean to make this plan
and sell my time to you
But there's this notion that
more is better
and all these words you use that
tell you this is true
are wrapped your skin
Why you're goin down this rabbit hole
I don't know
I don't know right now
Why you want to see the bottom for yourself
I don't know
if you thought it through well enough
But there's some great mistake
we're all selling
and I don't want to be a part of this
right now
but time sweeps you onward
and I hope I'm strong enough
to find my way out

i am not
what you want me to
be
to be
to believe in me
you need a sign
like a clear sign from GOD
on high
a clear sign
but i’m just a witness
like you
just a witness to
all these dreams we have that are not coming true
and i want you to save yourself
don’t worry about me
save yourself
don’t worry about me
i’ll be fine
i am fine
i’ll be fine
i am fine
i’m fine.

color and vision
black and white too
i feel you ripple
like the ocean
coming true
all around us
and it’s
beautiful like springtime
not knowing
where it’s going to
and you know i want to
believe it
like i believe in you
but time ticks on and
centuries roll out
like made for TV movies
i don’t have time or patience for
and i could learn a score of things from you
if i would
put away my wings and fly downward
and really listen to
all the people around me
but you made me a bird
but you made me love flight
and wings getting wet is a terrible sight

Did you decide to be here?
Did you decide to be rooted here?
Against all odds
Against your will
Did you mistake this color
for some kind of pot of gold
at the end of some great
rainbow in your mind?
'Cause all this time
I've been looking
for something to
be more real than
this moment
here with you.
Here with you
You're here with me
We see things differently
and all the light in you
is the light in me.
Birds fly to you
and they fly to me
They scare away
so easily
and we both know
we're just a tree
that's rooted here.
And we don't get to
know why leaves are
on our branches
at all
or why these birds
want to fly away
oh it makes me feel
so small.
What did I do to deserve your kindness?
What did I do to make you leave?
'Cause all of the light is the same in me
Sometimes it inspires
but most times it just
makes you blind.

Lights like fire
flowing in my veins
Words like lightning
bolts or bugs
Endless flutter
Won’t you let me be still
Endless energy unused
unsure of itself
unsure of its health
unsure of itself.
Are you falling?
Can you feel the ground beneath you?
Are you calling for something new?
Are you wanting
me to just be still
or are you waiting for me
to pick up the reins and go into the world?
And I don’t know the right things to choose anymore
I don’t know cause how can we be sure
of anything we feel
of anything being real
and not just some kind of floating fantasy
we took from our minds and made into
time spent here
that we made into time
spent in our feet
made into time
We make these things into things
things in our brains become things
and we’re in control
how i hate this control
cause i don’t know
the ways to go.
So many ways to go

Made of Ash

We didn't choose this life really
We only chose to have a lifetime
and choosing time is like
choosing anything and nothing
at the same time
We don't get to decide if we'll
sink or ride the waves
But all this lives in my mind
and I'm trying to live
the right way
And it doesn't get easier
like I thought it would
You're witnessing the strangest thing I could be
and you understand the reason, really
if you look in your mind and
see all the ways you didn't become
what you thought you'd become
And I'm like a phoenix rising
but still made of ash
and it's uncomfortable at best
You may think this is the dream
where you choose to be you
no matter who's listening
but I can prove it still feels like
sinking but maybe more like if
sinking meets dancing
or flying in the air
when you just grew wings
and all the things you thought you'd be
are breaking free
and you didn't see this coming
and you should have seen it coming.
