Modern Ghosts

Modern ghosts, they are just the stars
Burnt up long ago, ghosts in the sky
Sea of night, quite a sight
She is just dreams, dead suns drown within her
Dead cinders in space, gaze down from above
Like holes in the sky, extinguished ago
I've seen her before
I want her some more
She's my sun and moon
We sail the skies
There's no where or whys
My world's within her
Modern ghosts, they are just the stars
Burnt up, drugged up, ghosts on the floor
Sea of night, quite a sight
She is just dreams, dead suns drown within her
I've seen her before
I want her some more
She's my sun and moon
We sail the skies
There's no where or whys
My world's within her
Modern ghosts, they are just the stars
Burnt up long ago, ghosts in the sky

I'm so afraid of decisions I've made
Never do your thinking in the dark
I've over thought mistakes I've wrought
Forever failing to make a mark
There's a place I can see from the corner of my eye,
But only in dreams, or so it seems (or so it seems).
I'm past recall, sick of playing the four
And counting demons in the dark
I'm so afraid of people I've dismayed
Forever failing to make a start
It's up in the air, I haven't a care with nothing to fear
We're past recall
It's a place I can see from the corner of my eye
But only in dreams, or so it seems (or so it seems).
She's imagination.

Futureology

These days the future is limited
Past ways are never revisited
The things to come will frighten some
Nations live and die, and eye for an eye
Strange news from another star
Lands fuse, near and far
The things to come may frighten some
Nations rise and fall, the oceans cool
The years, they travel so far away
Our fears, they run away like the days
The world will change, the stars will fall
The years grow strange and nature will rule
Someday, millions of years from now
They'll say we never made it this far
The islands sink, the oceans rise
And nature's rule is our demise
Afterworlds red wine dead time

Sarah - what did you do today? How did you make him stay?
Sarah - do you dream at night? Does that make it alright?
Sarah - how did you see his way? How will he ever pay?
Sarah!
Sarah - will we meet again? Will we be the same?
Sarah - whatever gets you through, do what you have to do.
Sarah - you're half a world away, the other side of day.
Sarah!
Your footprints in the snow. You come, you fade, you go.

Needles split the sky
Where clouds begin to burn
Haunted by the rain
Which falls with no concern
I watched us grow so old
From things we failed to learn
The dreams we failed to hold
A sweetness I still yearn
Maybe you will kiss the sky
Maybe you will miss that high
Which haunts us in the rain

Eclipsed

Twisted thoughts like broken dolls
Dashed upon the cobblestones
The wreckage of our minds eye
Rusting imagination
The pieces upon the board
Upon the railway tracks
Unveils like dreary worlds
Waiting for the worms to come
Armed with clipboards and a pen
That was now but this is then
To the beat we count to ten
And drink with all of the king's men
The dark before the dawn
But Christ we never question why
The sound of the piano
And the urgency to dance
We forget the lonely notes
We never think of you but
There's lunacy in the rhymes
Afterworlds, red wine, dead time
Junk yard at Eden's End
With the garden we pretend
Outdoor parties in the snow
Helps us overlook the pun
Pills galore prescription delight
Plied with port in the middle of the night
Pills galore prescription delight
Plied with port in the middle of the night
Armed with clipboards and a pen
That was now but this is then
To the beat we count to ten
And drink with all Lincoln's men

Last Call
03:39

Time loop
You know you ought to
It's everything
That you do
No escape
Dip your fingers in
Test the water
Forever here
Bad dreams
Facilitate
The shadows
They conceal
You had a chance
Grab a handful
Last dance
Her glance
You lost your chance
Made a mess of things
Now it's yours
And the luck you bring
Last call
It's your final drink
It's over now
You've lost your mind
Last call
It's your final drink
It's over now
Last call

In Dreams

In dreams
There's doors
In dreams
Closed doors
Your dreams
No doors
More dreams
Less doors
(Doors everywhere, out of the corner of your eye)

Forever December
04:01
|
|||
|
Standing by her window
With whispers out to sea
Scenes from behind her eyes
Tonight she sleeps with me
Like flights of neon birds
Her dreams will ebb and flow
She's spared from all the words
Tears from radio
We're both two lonely roads
A place we predispose
Her lips as red as wine
Her whisper so refined
It's always night for us

(Warsaw in the moonlight, will steal you away, like magic in the night, to banish the light of day).
After this exile
Ghosts have fled the Earth
Once locked in lunar's glimpse
Are shadows that give birth
To swarms of listless myths
Bled from runes not death
But spirits pass away
Within a final breath
(He is much better off without me. Tell my father I have too many of my mother's tendencies.)
The framework of the bed
An outline of her feet
The setting sun lit red
The whisky taken neat.
Lazarus come forth
Hold us in derision
Span the blackened river
Steal away affliction.
(I don't want anyone in our out of my family to see any part of me. Could you destroy my body by cremation? Don't have any service for me, or remembrance for me.)

Day gives way to noon
Settles in the curve of the moon
These things always pass
Pain was never meant to last
