Random blaghness...

15 years ago... Acrophobia

Having just finished my next album release "Smoke Through A Keyhole", I was thinking about its release, and having some sort of pre-sale with something special to go along with the album. My first thought was a few extra songs. Well...hell. I don't really have extra songs. I build an album carefully, rarely do unused songs fall to the wayside. While I was scanning my near past, I came upon the distant past, 15 years past, and found a song unreleased. "Acrophobia".

Well...this sound-wise and thematically doesn't go with Smoke Through A Keyhole, but it shouldn't be on the Island of Lost Songs either, so it is here. Here for anyone to listen/download.

Acrophobia

We can hold the line
Or we can let it go
Leaping in a single bound
Forty stories high

I'm coming in like a boomerang
Yea, I'm coming out of this death spin
Say goodbye to the screaming
Angelic voices

Calm yourself

Felling life impact is arching back and letting go

Hold on to nothing

Open your eyes to hitting bottom
Open yourself to the possibilities
Open up to the king-size certainty

Hold on to nothing

Calm yourself

The Future Isn't What It Used To Be...

The Future Isn't What It Used To Be

 

The future....

The change is in us...

The future isn't what it used to be...

I'm not really keeping my mind on my mind
Don't look away
All reminiscence is fiction

I'm sorry, so sorry, I love you.

I can hear the sound
A deathless sound all you own...

I'm not really keeping my mind on my mind
Don't look away

I'm sorry, so sorry, I love you.

 

Inexhaustible Dark...

Inexhaustible dark
Undone by the sun
Drifting to awe, to all, to one
Inexhaustible dark
Beyond pursuit
We can't get beyond perception to the truth
Behind every fear is a wish
Behind every wish is a fear
Whatever you can see can see you
Take the words and leave what you give
Inexhaustible dark
Beyond pursuit
We can't get beyond perception to the truth...

Seeds of destruction empty into a river that sings
Never-fading Lady of shade and the emptiness she brings
Fire in the water
Slake the thirsty sea
Cleaving the waves of air that would not and cannot be
From the jaws of the savage beast you will be set free
Like a trampling horse snuffing out the stars that will not cede
Searing stars and gaping jaws of dreams wrought by the sky
Sky giants take root of the flesh and the flamed impetus of light...

Waiting like thunder, I wait for you
Feeling like rain, I fall
Carried on the wind we go by
Skipping across the water to the sand
Mouth to mouth and hand in hand
Mouth to mouth and hand in hand

Thoughts are just the surface of a river of us....
