lyrics

Creation comes
like blood around in circles,
so we’re one
becoming two my little you
will dance upon this holy loop
and stretch it out into a wire
you walk along above the burning lights,
your shadow hurled into the
sky lands upside down against a
cloud so soft that even shadows
wouldn’t break upon it,
so you reach the other side to find the
line you crossed you cannot leave
behind connects right to your heart. The
shadow joins you once again, these
two constant companions,
in the end when you’re alone,
you see are one so take the rope in hand and
coil it gently... as you go

Crying aloud, into the future where you’ll be
Crying again, tied to a world unraveling
Crying aloud, into the future where you’ll be
Crying again, into the future.
Faces betray
a longitude an attitude
that brings me over from my side—
the line I, stumbling, obscure
and set the hook in like a jerk—
your hands, a reel, move in a
circle I feel and watch my world stand
still while I fly waterborn. We
are all fishes till eviction hurls us headlong into what we
are all fishes till eviction hurls us headlong into what we
are all fiction till existence hurls us headlong... and we roll

Crying aloud, into the future where we breathe
Crying again, drowning and blind until we scream
Crying aloud, into the future where we breathe
Crying again, into the future.

Places we’ve been
like songs forgotten still I sing
into a new old melody
that loops around too short in my sleep
I see a crowd of lovers, a stage
where everybody sings and stomps.
A circle breathes and breaks apart,
the song is all us singing,
not a code a map pierced with a
pin, together but not in the
same place so the melody is
orbiting-- velocity or
else location-- never at the
same time never at the same time
never at the same time never
at the same time never at the
same time never and forever
to the same place… where we roll

Crying aloud, into the future and we sing
Crying again, for all the voices that we dreamed
Crying aloud, into the future and we’ll be
Crying again, into the future....
