FURTHER INTO

 

 

Now I’m naked and purified

Just carry me away

I’ve grown so tired of fighting this fight

 

This is the Alpha and the Omega

I’ve become clay again

I’m yours to mould

My arms are laid down

 

Now evermore

Float from the shore

Further into

Deep water

With half-closed eyes

Through waves and tides

 

Just on and on

Towards an endless calm

Further Into

Deep water

I’m gonna rest in the center of all of this

 

Your weary limbs, your heavy mind

Led you so many ways

Where were you heading all alone in the wild?

 

One final push to get to move

Everything bent and broken

Invincible summer

I’ll return to you

 

Now evermore

Float from the shore

Further into

Deep water

Through waves and storms

Yet to be born

Just on and on

Towards an endless calm

Further Into

Deep water

Further into

Deep water

 

I won’t turn back 

I won’t turn back 

 

 

 

THE RETURN OF THE GREAT COMFORT

 

Cast off 

Your back aches 

Were you caught up in a thought?   

 

Within you, 

Beyond you, 

There’s a tender world to roam  

 

Let me drown 

Let me drown 

In this all-pervading blue 

In this all-pervading blue 

 

Stay off now 

I’m long-gone 

You can’t trace me, I’m at peace 

 

The secret, 

The vastness, 

Don’t scare me anymore   

 

Let me drown 

Let me drown 

In this all-pervading blue 

In this all-pervading blue 

 

Within you, beyond you 

There’s a tender world to roam 

 

Within you, beyond you  

There’s a tender world to roam 

 

 

BEATRICE

  

Crimson child

I know you can lead me through

what lies before us 

Searched for eyes

That could meet mine and understand

All the nameless sorrows 

 

Imbibe my pain

Until I am all yours

Break this chain

And I’ll always be

 

Beam of grace

How could I not trust in you?

How could I wonder

In this place

All the pieces seem to synchronize

In perfect stillness

 

Help me put

This to an end

To an end

To an end

To an end

I am through

with half-truths

 

A hero`s trip

Back to the womb 

To the womb

To the womb

To the womb

This time I’ll stay 

 

Crimson child

I know you can lead me through

The paths before us

Searched for eyes

that could meet mine and comprehend

Oh the nameless sorrow 

 

Devour my pain

Now and for good

and for good

and for good

and for good

I know you can

I beg you

 

A hero`s trip

Back to the womb 

To the womb               

To the womb

To the womb

I´ll merge

With the sweetest light 

 

 

A STONE AMONG STONES

 

Home, Home 

Whole, Home 

Absorbed, Buried 

Nestled, Nursed

 

A Stone, A Stone, A Stone 

Among Stones 

 

Nurtured 

Weightless

Transparent

Embedded

Enclosed, Unified 

No notions arise,  

I’m forever cared for,

Held by all

 

A Stone, A Stone, A Stone

Among Stones

 

And so

It seems

There is

At least

One Truth

One Truth

At last

 

A Stone, A Stone, A Stone

Among Stones

A Stone, A Stone, A Stone

Among ...

 

 

HALF-DRUNK

 

We once were so sure

That when we longed for a cure

We could find it alone

On our own

On our own

 

But weeks became years

And after all it appears

That if we were wrong

We were wrong

All along

 

We could have gone far

Yeah we could have won it all

But now we’re just curled up in balls 

On our cold bathroom floors  drunk with awe

Ohhhh

For the bruised will be strong

And the ugly are shamed no more

And though it sounds so clumsy and odd

when you say it out loud

it’s still true ...

 

All is new

 

We once thought of time

As a cleansing of minds

Where the future would be

Sounds in Sanskrit

Sounds in Sanskrit

 

As we turned to love

And let it fill ourselves up

Our lungs would collapse

With every breath

With every

Breath

 

Now there goes my heart

It longs right for the start

Like a brave little toddler that trips

into darkness for its mother’s arms

Ohhhhhh

For the bruised will be strong

And the ugly are shamed no more 

 

Oh Oh Oh
