Silver moon dust of days

What is an island?
An island is a man
Who has isolated himself

The dogs are out late tonight
The dogs are crying mercy
Mercy on the moon
The moon is crying mercury
In the fluids of its doom
For once the dogs
They ran up there
Once when they were wolves
And the moon is crying for the horses
Locked inside their stalls

What is an island?
An island is a city
Full of archipelagoes of people
It is this cursing
Blackness in the heart
Of the Cathedral

It is the bells which toll
At stake but for the one
Who burns in the immediacy
Like a fire in the sun

Who are the children
When their parents have gone
Trodden into dust
What can be left
Of someone
What remnant is there
What part is left?
What makes us human
What gives us dignity
What of our faculties which are bereft
Deny a person freedom
Where does their personhood begin and end
What is the limit of government
Where is the privacy
Where is the public friend
Who can give us liberty
When nothing comes
And nothing ends

Disuasion

Whirlpool of damage
Maelstrom of dispair
Throw me to the wolves
Let me be eaten by bears
I come to you with my ashes
And you throw them in my hair
Oh Maelstrom of damage
Whirlpool of wear

Disuade me, disuasion
The whole plagued crew
Have been running the carnival for years
But The red top's turning blue
And all the circus acrobats
On the trapeze of disease
Are swinging back and forth like bats
Like pendulums in trees
Like some Orang Utan
Has been let out its cage
And now its roaming free
Oh disuade, disuasion
Disuade me

12 years a wave

I am 12 years a wave

12 years a wave

12 years a wave waving at you

You know I 've been a rolling

12 years on an ocean blue

No never breaking

Onto somebody new

I have never crashed,

Never reached my everest peak

Never crest up with the best

Stayed down with the meek

The strong ones they are dying

Waves upon the shore

The tide just pulls them back

But they keep going back for more

But I stay out in the ocean

Avoiding all commotion

noone can bother me 

Oh life is swell

There's a current towing me under

In a motion

I'm swallowed up in a Tsunami of regret

Like the earth did shudder

The epicentre of a rudder

We are all gravitating to the self same fate

12 years a wave flowing out on the ocean

Reefs and knots are tying me

To the the rocky bottom

Anchoring all my dreams

With the fishes on the tide

Pave the stones

Well you said that you were with me in the garden
And you said that you would be with me in the end
Well its more than schaden freuden
If I say now farewell my friend

You know that I've always thought you were peculiar
Like an a letter I cannot send
The writings done, the message has hardened
But For me this is the end my friend

We each have our stepping stones to follow
Through the garden of this paradise
You are lucky if they are large enough to land on
And luckier still if you don't fall off them
Over the side

Giraffes

All through-out the Eden times
The dog's bear their teeth
And laugh
At the pearly flowers
Of the telegraph
And curtail, the male giraffes
Into thinking themselves tall
When all loves like the towers
Have their times to fall

She told me only somethings
But I meant nothing at all
Only words that were bowstrings
On which her arrows were drawn
And passion is just a time that sings
Of a love and life enthrall
we must follow in our hearts
That line when love does call

The Advice of Chaucer

She was reeling from a fight
From a love who she'd left behind
Her bed was like a ship
That rocked across the sea

I'm eating fishes
And the bacteria
Of the wishes
That I can't control

I cry for you
I cry to the lord

I'm in a fight for my life
I've seen the early morning light
And the night cut like a knife
Through the barrels of my soul

I have a kidney of consequence
Which filters all my dreams
And empties my utopias
Into someone else's streams

And the firebrands are scoffing
At the girls without their souls
Knowing that they'll be coughin
In some fiery hell holes

And temptation takes me
Like seal that is slipped
Like a knife beneath the shoulder blades
Or a hole in the hull of my ship

There's a leak in my consciousness
Where salvation drips
Either I will drown in self-confidence
Or be buried inside some skips

Don't ask me for my blessing
You must go and choose your own way
Just be careful to avoid the ones who lose
And never work for those who don't pay

To the tune of Cleopatre's needle

I get up in the morning
The fish are still yawning
In the wild sea's coast
Far from the warning
That you felt it was burning
That I loved you the most

You never gave me your name
You gave me many things
That I called a shame
But you never did give me your name

So I can't remember now what you said to me
I can't recall what you thought or thanked
But maybe you were a Romanian
Maybe you were a Bulgarian
Maybe you held a glass in your hand
Well it was easier for me if you name it
Easier if you blame it
All on me

But you never gave me your name did you
So I guess that She will have to do
