Rocks Remember

Far back, the voices fade out, the choices made dawn upon us soon
Sat back, the silence sets in, as miles and semblance leave us gone
As far as I can see, the time it screams at me
You travel much too far
Too far for you to be alive
I heard you screaming 'No!'
What are you afraid of
Show all the skin that you are made of
But you feel so old
So many thoughts, so many moves, to say, to make, to feel, to hear, to see
I hope I haven’t left behind the chance today
As far as I can see, the time it screams at me
You travel much too far
Too far for you to be alive
Rocks Remember
Far back, the voices fade out, the choices made dawn upon us soon
Sat back, the silence sets in, as miles and semblance leave us gone
Can’t ever let my time
Decide just how long I have got
(But) You feel so old, don’t you now

Didn’t you climb the tree when you were a child
Falling off the branches many times
You just stood there all night
Wondering what is higher, maybe there’s a father
In the night that shines so bright beyond.
One day you would jump across the pond
Only you
I heard a voice
Call me Out
Pantomime
Here I am
I flail my arms
Hear me now
I scream my name
Here I am
Every halloween disguise,
Every small step up unto this point in your life.
Rooted in that spine was fear
The fear that keeps you up at night all night,
Until the edge of time
Maybe I can see a freer world that leaves behind all greed
In the dark expanse so bright beyond
Lies that friendly floating piece of stone
Only you

Wonder And Wonder

Lost in tongues, we spread our lores
Our creations skipped that section where we crawled
On all fours
They swear, I swear, we swear to forces
Unseen by eyes, it trickles down our throats
So, you’ve heard the word, the herd slurred down to you
In this landscape you will lose
A tiny part of you
That towers above the world
What cultures must have thrived
In a place where an absence reigns
In Toricellian waste
Surely there must be a worm around?
What joy could nothing provide?
Lifelessness, incontinence
Beings of full sentience
Yet, they burn
As we try standing here, twisting
Being nowhere near the scene of crime
We watch them burn
Oh, how they burn
Stare in wonder
Stare in awe
Forever underneath the (law)

All aboard the wistfulness of time and space
Where God abhors a naked singularity
Floating out there
Every single person you and I have known
Locked in a ball, we’re moving, moving
We’re moving through clay
We’re moving through clay
We’ve stared and wondered all these years
Is it a turtle that we’re on?
Is it turtles all the way down, right down?
Curiosity, where were you all this while?
Where had you slunk and gone to hide?
Where have you been? You should have seen
You should have seen
Ptolemy wasn’t right
But Coper was wrong in the church’s eye
I know this much is true
The world is just a solid block of paper
As time will tell us later
Till then we all stay stuck alike
I wish there was a way to share this view
Janet, you should see this sighting too
So pretty and blue
We gathered shrubs and we began to hunt
Busting hogs with hammers blunt
All down to 1969
I wish there was a way to share this view
One hundred hours starts to feel too soon
Janet, you should see this tiny pea
So pretty and blue.

The Eagle Has Landed

Reach and hold my hands
Hold it a while
I feel the lap of land now
We’re higher a mile
All I’ve ever known
Of what use are they here?
Oh, for a while, I surrender
All but a smile
This one, this place here
It goes right through me
Out this window’s
A world that words were never meant to know
Oh, how should I feel
Standing out there
On a land that’s
Lay asleep in peace for 4 billion years
Reach and hold my hands
Hold it a while
Step so small is nearer
The Eagle has landed

Small Step

Hey, I can see
I can see all that there is to see for a man
Feel, I can feel
I can feel that hair just standing on its end
All that black, can step right back, this moment’s fucking mine, to lose
All mine to lose
Hey Buzz, do you see?
Do you see all that there is to see for a man?
All that black, can step right back, this moment’s fucking mine
What have I done to deserve this
One, this only chance to be the one

Cautionary tales
Serve to see me fail
Their false dichotomies
Are not what I will need
Silently, finitely, see how, they run out
Got to formulate
Paths left to create
Deadweight overboard
Crossed all things I’ve known
All that’s beating now
One day will shut down
In that still, dark, night
I’ll still be in sight
(With a) beat inside
See you on a dark day
Like the moon, I’ll
See you on a dark day
