SLEEPTALKER
(day)
Veil
Drawn
Over
Head
Hung
In shame
Hung in shame
(In shame)
Veils drawn
Over heads
Drenched in
Deserved
Shame
In shame
In shame
In shame
(night)
As I drift off at night
You come talking in my sleep
As I give up on rest and a clear conscience
You’ve been talking in my sleep
You burrow in…
You’re planting seeds
You burrow in…
Does it hurt to talk
With a mouth full of echo
Does it hurt to think and remember
With a skull full of bees
They burrow in…
They’re digging holes
They burrow deep!
They’re digging holes
(morning)
(Water is over the bridge)
You didn’t deserve pain
Pain I caused
I never meant harm
Harm I caused
I wish for no guilt
Guilt is bound
(Will the water be under the bridge ever?)
(now)
Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen!
Understand
(Im begging, don’t stop talking in my sleep)

The Great Let Down

THE GREAT LET DOWN
(son)
You took on too much
And you were not
Ready or equipped
When you were done with us
We were rough edged
And jagged
And the filing
And the sanding
Were left to someone else
I was shown how to
Grow an insight
From scratch
(and)
(Who could ever feel it coming?)
(I can feel it coming!)
The great let down
(Who could ever see the reasons?)
(I can see the reason!)
Every attempt a challenge
Every love a fight
(Who could ever be surprised that…)
(It’s no surprise that…)
The unfinished job
Dragged pain
And confusion along
(father)
You took on too much
And I was left
Thick and unprepared
When I let my guard down
I was told to sit
And shut up
And the filing
And the sanding
Were done by someone else
I was able to
Grow the insight
That you miss

VELU VAKARS
(death)
Black and white ghosts
Delineate the way
Leading to a credulous
After-life
(life)
Where am I going with this?
Six words in and the lack of direction is obvious
Inspiration well run dry
Is the sign of a comfortable life
Count myself lucky
Have I grown to accept?
Death injustice and boredom
As simple facts of life
Where was I going with this?
Fifty words in and the lack of urgency is obvious
(in between)
Come friends
Come strangers
Come living
Come dead
Come feared
Come revered
Come surprised
Come, ancient past
Come
We’re here
We’re here
We’re here
(death again)
Laid to rest souls
Show us the way
Leading to a credulous
After-life

Any More And I'd Jinx It
08:27

ANY MORE AND I’D JINX IT
With turbulent minds
Clouding judgement
Taking over love
Burn
Destroy
Reset
Relearn
In a quiet state I
Declare all this
At a time of peace
At a time of peace
All is well
And truly not well too
“In perspective
From afar…
Does it make sense?”
As my conscience has your voice
As my judgement has your voice
As the past now has your voice
As the future has your voice

THE LAST SONG
(yesterday)
To carry the song
To let the flow free
In a state of submission
Volume is me
Guitar is me
In a state of mutation
To vibrate like strings
To pound like drums
In a state of completion
To begin
To become
Amplified
Volume is me
(today)
And now breathe
And now breathe
Give it space
Give it space, now
Take a break
Take a break, now
I’m with sound and
I’m of sound, now
(tomorrow)
To carry the song
To let the flow free…
Volume is me
Guitar is me…
To vibrate like strings
To pound like drums…
To begin
To become
Amplified
Volume is me
(always)
This is just for me
Everything, everyone, left behind
This is just for me
Everything, everyone, left behind
This is just for me
This is just for me
This is just for me
This is just for me
This is just for me
This is just for me!
