Hey how ya been?
How’s the view from your apartment?
Have you cleaned the front room yet?
You’re lying there
Drapes are ruffled by the air
I see it now in my mind’s eye
Sanctuary
Where we can hang it out to breathe
Nothing there but you and me
But it’s fantasy
Self deluded beautifully
In a dried up pod
Hide we the peas
Was it drastic how the spell did break?
I smashed it on the ground
three stories down
And we looked out from on your roof
At the indifferent town and
Up above the world we seemed so
Different from the life down on the street
The walkup’s worth the weight
I’ve carried with me
lately through these days
I lived in dreams
Safter than reality
How the veil so threadbare seemed
Sanctuary
Desecrated carelessly
Lost what made it so holy
And now I’m lost
Thought I knew myself my wants
Now I doubt it’s worth the cost
Sanctuary
Can you see my face?
Can you tell me what is on my face?
Sanctuary
Just let me in let me up please
These demons how they're chasing me

The Ashes

And since the fire burnt it down
all were surprised to see the ground
The ashes flew over our heads
The greenest grass it made a bed
I go to lie with folk long gone
Their vic'tries haunt my dreams my song
and when at last this modern's passed
We'll catch the light with broken glass
And I won't say goodnight
Forget I fear I might
And we the ones those left behind
Gather the pieces we can find
How to assemble a puzzle
Not knowing what's pictured in full
so let me be the memory
of towers built rare air to breathe
but let us not linger here long
in such lost words without a song
Through the years I've seen it all
Never quite noticed the fall
Amidst this bliss it's never clear
The creeping ruin growing near
and in the end we'll see the light
much too late to stop the night
