don't say goodbye

I fake and fade to center
and not unlike the winter
so gray and unbecoming
I watch so dry in isolation
avoiding all expression
and wrestle with this feeling
     sick like rain on pain
     I burned out more than once
     an angel and a saint
     the smallest devil

  It's all in the wash or strung out to dry
  It's all in the hips so don't say goodbye
  Don't say goodbye

To lie in wait of order
though never level
nothing more boring
I'll sit and hold your eyes
A wander or a wink
Might cheapen the moment
     sick like rain on pain
     I burned out more than once
     an angel and a saint
     the smallest devil

  There's always a heaven if you let it



bladesong

  Got a thousand sunset moments
watch them in my memory shining
angel on my shoulder
gonna clear a path for me
  Trim the blade with the blade
split the seed and still it grows
swing the shelter, spring the fallen,
soak the moment, steal the show
  Got a hundred bleary moments
got a lot of green in me
stolen penstroke blessed and falling
strike my vision still I see
  Sit and smoke my every blessing
pray you burn for want (and me)
shout the hope shout the whole thing
touch this vision, just a dream
