Blooming

Fine as the water can fill the hole
ive felt this before i know, i know
that silence is matter and mass is the tears
i let slip through my fingers
you are away you are happier there
i hold on to something im not sure it is here
but something about something
there is a town i could find
with a little light on, a little light on
but music is guiding and its hard to leave
when most songs i hear remind me, of
everything beautiful and everything kind
a wishful amusement a comforting sign
that flowers do bloom
in the light of the sun
when tonight will come shining
because the hard day is done

planted

Dug a hole. Buried a seed, maybe two. watched it drink. watched it grow. and with little vocabulary. I learned what life was.

Dream Catcher

Here a dark night is rare
but i still, wish
i could be feeling your words
watching you talk wish i could be
the dark night over you
helping you sleep at night
your comfort dream catcher
like a tool you need to survive
stuff me in your sack and keep me dry
carry me to the top of every mountain on the east coast
and i will
protect you from the outside world
i will protect you from doubt and shame
when love meets no boundries
i hope you cross every boundry you can
and if you allow me to
ill live every adventure through you
happily your comfort dream catcher

how to prove.

the day is gone, the sun has set the alarm
now i wait for the next cloud to sing
happy birthday
they scream instead of sing
and i swear little by little hell is whispering
go back to bed
but the sheets cover my head
blocking the light through the window
im sheltered but i can still feel the wind blow
far from the places i dreamt
would be perfect, but perfect is a myth
a full heart is a wise heart
they said, learn to live with it
so the blood in my veins run thin full of asprine
and alcohol, to watch my tears fall
splashing into the shapes of animals and sky scrappers
the clock has changed but it is later, later than..
a reason to do what i can to fill my mind up with optimism
because anything would be reason worth living
but it is hard to see anything when nothing fills the mold
if there is nothing then the word alone is something to hold
aint it? cant it be true?
happiness is just a thought away they say
just think about it and it'll be easier than you think
but my boats, i build , i build them to watch them sink
so some time past my time an explorer can find
what i meant, what i was meant for
for sure. optimism set in. im happy again.
but the wind is still cold and the clouds, they still scream
now i dont want to wake up
i know, ill open my eyes and have to do it all over
pretend there is luck in four leaf clovers
send my prayers to the sky when man made prayer
like screaming in the middle of nowhere
itll only cause an avalanch and you tell me to be rational
but rational seems to be a bit more insane than me
to believe the bullshit written on the walls of D.C
democracy, try humanity and resting on the thought that
we will never undo to others
as they do undo to you
but i was thinking that maybe the world is drunk
I'm just sleeping on a rock in the middle of muck
slowly sliding off a mountain and ill catch my breath 
wake up to real sunlight
finally admit you were right
but the clouds are still not singing
happy birthday, happy birthday to me
so they scream, this..is not..a dream
this..is not a dream
and this is not..a dream
but i know somehow, ill prove to you
i can do unto you
what a wise heart is meant to do
prove that life is more than a law
a guide line to be moral
that love is more than just a word
because there is more to a nest than the birds
i could hold my breath until my face turns blue
to prove that this is how i know
i love you.
