Where do I go from here?
I can't live on the mountaintop
isolated in an icy shell
insulated in the snow.
Where do I go,
where do I go from here?
Roads run like capillaries
out of and into coagulant veins.
Blood from my heart stains
the white world I've tried to make.
Take me back to the wind!
It left me here alone.
In the church there is a window
that changes light
from white into a rainbow scenery.

I never finished this song, and I no longer think I will. I've stopped caring about it.
I'm fairly sure that you were born with fire in your blood, judging by the way you never let up. Though we see in a different shade, I admire what you've made of your soul and how you want to change the world.
Girl, you're messing with my seasons
the way you give me a reason
to smile through
this especially cold winter
I have barely felt since
I first met you.
There's enough
heaven here for us.
There's no need to wait it out.

Starshine
This is a forced lyric I wrote yesterday for a friend and his girl. It's entirely recycled. I'm not sure there's an original bone left in me.
D:I can watch you move through the dark
and know exactly who you are.
A:Take me in your arms
and learn my heart by feeling.
Take my hand and walk with me
past the hills and through the trees
to where we'll rest and wait to see
the morning come
in with the sun.
And when we're finally through the night
you'll see me in the morning light
and know that what we felt was right.
The morning comes
in with sun.
A:You should know everything will be just fine
by the way you make me glow like stars shine.
D:You know what I am:
A better man than them.
D:I can watch you move through the dark
and know exactly who you are.
A:Take me in your arms
and learn my heart by feeling.

Chemical Agency
Something I started working on today. Just getting some ideas down mostly.
Go on take your pills
and then you will feel alright, alright alright.
You'll sleep half the day
and so calm through the night.
You know what you've got,
you've got your chemical agency.
If you're hopelessly tired
over anxious or wired.
Don't forget that you've got
your chemical agency.
When you're drunk off your ass
or toke up just to relax.
Don't you forget
you used your chemical agency.
When the voices are saying
you'd best be a-slaying.
When you've got your father's throat in your grip
and you just want to rip it out.
Don't you forget
you've got your chemical agency.
Just take your pills
and we'll all be alright, alright, alright
'cause you'll sleep half the day
and so calm through the night.
What is it you've got?
You've got your chemical agency.
Go on take your pills
and then you will feel alright, alright alright.
You'll sleep half the day
and so calm through the night.
You know what you've got,
you've got your chemical agency.

and so calm through the night.
What is it you've got?

The Bed In The Temple
You are a cultured girl,
a pretty little cultured pearl.
Just barely still a child,
you've never known the wild world.
When a consecrated finger
dug inside your shell
to show you to your new life
it must have felt like Hell.
Did he lay you in a bed of roses
and part your hidden self like Moses?
Are you older yet?
Do you feel saved?
What is it that you yearn for? Have you made it there? Have you learned a thing from giving mind and soul to the prophet of men who sold to you the ball and chain you wear?
Did he lay you in a bed of roses
and spread your hidden self like Moses?
Are you older yet?
Do you feel saved?
He takes the rod and breaks the stone.
Instead of water blood will flow.
In rapture now he cracks the tomb
with holy seed to sow your womb.

Castor Without Pollux
You are a part of me
apart from me.
You and I were raised up in the sky
to show the world the glow inside our eyes.
We are stars
when we believe we are.
We are stars when we believe.
I see you in winter night
and summer sunlight.
There is empty space beside you
where I used to shine.
You watched me slowly fall so low
to where you could not follow.
I let in doubt
to take my light out.
I let in doubt to take my light.
You are a part of me
so far apart from me.

Ways and Wanderers
I attended a Mormon funeral today and was inspired to write this. The post-chorus and outro are old and the chorus is an old idea rewritten. The rest is new.
Note: Edited Oct. 27, 2008 and Nov. 7 2009 and Sept. 18, 2010
I have left the way
but I am not a wand'rer.
I will find you at the end.
My enemies light
fears of fire
that I will fight until the end.
Steady now your heartbeats.
As one sound the heart beats.
Take that cold graven cross
and heat it in (with) your heart
until you've found the end.
