Time To Tell
it's time to tell
what you really live for
what you'd even die for
what you gonna cry for
it's time to tell
all your fears and reasons
that keep you tied to demons
asleep to all that you dream of
it's time to tell
the story of your vision
your starry-eyed collision
with such a blind precision
it's time to tell
the beauty of your mission
your one true religion
you're losin' all division
it's time to tell
what all your buildings stand for
and what they built so tall for
and what they always fall for
it's time to tell
the color of your fever
delusional believer
you broke-down receiver
silence breakin' like a storm
silence breakin' like a storm
silence breakin' like a storm
silence breakin' like a storm
silence breakin' like a storm
silence breakin' like a storm
it's time to tell
what your heart will ache for
and once again you wake for
and what your silence will break for
it's time to tell
what you really live for
what you'd even die for
now what you wanna cry for?
now what you wanna cry for?
now what you wanna cry for?

Paper Crown
you say,
"don't wanna feel soft
I won't let me cry
just gotta be strong
and never die...
I gotta beat the dawn
and get it right,
better not plant the seed wrong
or I'll reap poison light"
guess you lost hope
when you fell down
but all you really broke
was your paper crown
"just tryin' to steal across
a deep ocean wide
I'll surely find a greener moss
on some other side...
I'm just the king of all
the world's only mine
no time to let a tear fall
when you're such a special kind"
guess you lost hope
when you fell down
but all you really broke
was your paper crown
"don't wanna feel soft
I won't let me cry
just gotta be strong
and never die…"
guess you lost hope
when you fell down
but all you really broke
was your paper crown
guess you lost hope
when you fell down
but all you really broke
was your paper crown

Persistence
we see persistence
in the water-course you run
no matter what the distance
you got the guts to get her done
the mountain or the valley
every step you take's the same
in New York or Cali
you know you gotta play the game
don't worry about those wheels
they're just doin' what they know
couldn't stop em if you even tried
they think they got some place to go
well might as well let 'em roll
such a strange surrender
you're workin' harder everyday
tryin' to remember
but you forget it anyway
all that you been given
since the day you were born
this good life you're livin'
that you look upon with scorn
don't worry about those wheels
they're just doin' what they know
couldn't stop em if you even tried
they think they got some place to go
well might as well let 'em roll
come back to the inside
after being out so late
and now you got to decide
is it destiny or fate
that keeps your train a-rollin'
when every bed has lost its freight
and all your dreams are swollen
and you're losin' so much weight
don't worry about those wheels
they're just doin' what they know
couldn't stop em if you even tried
they think they got some place to go
well might as well let 'em roll
they think they got some place to go
well might as well let 'em roll
we see persistence
in the water-course you run
no matter what the distance
you got the guts to get her done

Worth
who's been down this road?
somebody oughta know
just where we're going
and which way to go
who's been down this road?
we're searchin' for the love
the kingdom up above
but you know we'll settle for a red clay dove
when that push comes to shove
you whisper in my ear
is that the truth I hear?
or just some story from yesteryear
to put to rest my fear
you say
"ain't nothin' up there in heaven
that we can't find on Earth
don't you know that you're breathin'
don't you know what that's worth?"
been playin' this game for so long
I can't tell my right from wrong
can't tell anymore the weak from the strong
and to whom I belong
and to whom I belong
"ain't nothin' up there in heaven
that we can't find on Earth
don't you know that you're dreamin'
don't you know what that's worth?"

Mystery Talkin'
mystery talkin'
talkin' low
I can't hear it
I don't know
what it's saying
in the river flow
mystery talkin'
soft and low
just a whisper
soft as snow
when it's fallin'
in the moonlight glow
in the darkness
lover's insight
heart is open
like a rose
in the night I
let the wisdom grow
mystery talkin'
talkin' low
all them changes
come so slow
when I'm waiting
on the midnight show
mystery talkin'
talkin' low
all the secrets
from the soul
let me listen
to the winds just blow
when I'm walkin' on the b-side
there's an open-secret tone
inna here n' now
I can dream the bones
mystery talkin'
talkin' low
I can't hear it
I don't know
the sounds playin' on the river flow
mystery talkin'
talkin' low
all them changes feel so slow
when I'm prayin'
under the mirrored dome
in the darkness
lover's insight
mind is open
like the road
in the night I
let the dreamtime roll
mystery talkin'
talkin' low
mystery talkin'
talkin' low
mystery talkin'
talkin' low
mystery talkin'
talkin' low

Cryin' For The Dawn
it's all I can take
can't take no more
of this fight
cryin' for the dawn
this whole world is mad
so far gone and lost
in this night
cryin' for the dawn
your old heart will break
won't be too long
til it leaves us
cryin' for the dawn
under the breath
I'm prayin' in song
for sweet light
cryin' for the dawn
in the darkest depths
in the cold, forgotten core
you'll hear us
cryin' for the dawn
I can't read the signs
every right turn is wrong
in this night
cryin' for the dawn
fumblin' for a flame
some shinin' door
an insight
we're cryin for the dawn
it's all I can take
won't take no more
of this night
cryin' for the dawn

It Won't Be Long For You
turn on the lights, dear
this night is overgrown
it's time to come alive here
open your golden throat
cuz it's poisonous enough there
without your holy tone
your silence is too much to bear
tells me I'm all alone
I know I'm not all alone
I know you
ain't nothing wrong with you
I know what you can do
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you
let's walk hand in hand
through the fire and snow
we gotta take that stand
before we got to go
y'know we all gotta go
I'm talkin' bout a lot here
I'm tellin' you the most
but there's just one more shot, dear
to kill your hungry ghost
to kill your hungry ghost
I know you
ain't nothing wrong with you
I know what you can do
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you
don't try to tell me you can't
that's just another awful joke
I don't wanna hear your rant
bout how you're busted and you're broke
cuz when it's time to fall
the trees always seem to know
and if you gotta crawl
well as above so below
as above so below
I know you
ain't nothing wrong with you
I know what you can do
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you
it won't be long for you

Blues For Beginner's Mind
ain't no sinner
don't it feel good
just to know you're
always home
in the inner-
life, a sweet sun
keep you warm when
you're alone
the beginner's
mind, it feels good
every moment
you're re-born
just a winner
never be bored
nothin' ever
gettin' old
(repeat)

Handstand
white cloud
burning sky
emptiness
a butterfly
callin'
ringin' bell
thunderstorm
is gonna swell
the further on you go
the less you wanna know
nightfall
lightin' bug
full-lotus
on a flyin' rug
dreamtime
wakin' up
holy mountain
will erupt
the further on you go
the less you wanna know
handstand
heart of gold
winnin' smile
when you fold
fallin'
down the well
out of love
with yourself
the further on you go
the less you wanna know
the further on you go
the less you wanna know

I Am The Storm To Come
it's my blood
comin' down today
my blood
comin' like a tidal-wave
it's my law
breakin' down the walls of men
it's my law
got no country to defend
it's my song
you're chantin' that deadly sound
my song
you're chantin' your yesterday down
I'm the storm
I'm the storm to come
I'm the storm
baby, I'm the storm to come
it's my sword
ready, set to behead
it's my sword
the blade upon delusion bled
it's my sword
cutting up a bliss so blind
my sword
shuttin' up the sinner-mind
I'm the storm
I'm the storm to come
I'm the storm
baby, I'm the storm to come
it's my love
breakin' every heart in two
my love
your broken heart's only glue
it's my dawn
breakin' like the ice below
my dawn
wakin' up a world you don't know
I'm the storm
I'm the storm to come
I'm the storm
baby, I'm the storm to come
I'm the storm
I'm the storm to come
I'm the storm
baby, I'm the storm to come

Poor Crescent
bet you can't deny the sound of dust
as it falls your mind begins to bust
always thought the angel sitting still
never gave a thought to your good kill
back at home your bones begin to rust
shut the door before the ghosts wake up
downstairs your mama's on the rocks
never found her way to darn your socks
I'm not holding on
the pictures can come down
I'm not holding on
I'm not holding on
the pictures can come down
I'm not holding on
petals fall and nothing seems to pass
now don't you wish that some things wouldn't last
there you stand a poor crescent of a man
broken by the darkness in your plan
I'm not holding on
the pictures can come down
I'm not holding on
I'm not holding on
the pictures can come down
I'm not holding on
somewhere down the road I hear you say
holy words I can't believe today
you say,
I'm not so alone now
I'm not so alone now
I'm not so alone now
I'm not so alone now

Summer Cold
spent my summer waitin' for the fall
nothin' much to say when papa made his call
livin' on nightmares, vitamins, and song
committin' no prayers, just stringin' em along
killin' my time inventin' disease
problem in my gut and trouble in my knees
the blocks grow longer in the heat-covered days
i'm wastin' my means and losin' my ways
and it's not so sad
when you think about all the sufferin' and tears
in far-off lands they're fightin' off thirst and hunger for years
political, anti-social indoctrination of fear
well there's always bigger walls
to climb and miles to crawl
and it makes me feel so small
I give thanks for it all
once I wondered how tall I would grow
if I'd go to heaven or to hell below
now all I ever wonder is when
the good lord above will bring it to an end
around what sun my world did revolve
just another mystery I never would solve
so I fancied myself an angel that fell
my dirty little secret I never would tell
readin' my palms and writin' my tale
wanna say somethin' fore I have to set sail
the moral of the story on the last page turned:
Set your world on fire, you're gonna get burned
Set your world on fire, you're gonna get burned
