about
My earliest memory as a child was falling asleep listening to the sound of my heartbeat echoing in my pillow. In my half-asleep state, the rhythmic pulsing would morph into the footsteps of a small group of camels. I would watch them from a bird's eye view. Though they were crossing a great desert on the other side of the world, their arrival was certain. There was a sense of immediacy I felt whenever I would see them. As consistent as the beats of my heart, their footsteps would bring them closer at each instant. I knew that they were coming for me, and that one day they would arrive. Decades have passed and now their arrival feels more imminent than ever.

- Track Name: Finding Love
-
a train is winding its way to a village
a lost dog is on the side of the road
wind rattling ice on the trees in the snow
nobody know where goes a broken umbrella
will you live or die or just grow old
blackbird sitting on a crooked fence post
findinglovefindinglovefindingloveeverywherefindinglove
playing checkers with the fast mall walkers
or waiting off behind a sun drenched fold
a woman thinkin bout her bathing suit body in the cold
and the craters on the moon are crying
and the tears roll down into the cracks of our souls
a man with a gun is hiding behind a wall
findinglovefindinglovefindingloveeverywherefindinglove
findinglovefindinglovefindingloveeverywherefindinglove
there's no telling the wrong turns that we have taken
or the false confessions that we have told
like striking poses in the mirror at night singing "sold"
you could search entire earths forever
finding shadows of the heart untold
every inch of the darkness is full of gold
findinglovefindinglovefindingloveeverywherefindinglove
findinglovefindinglovefindingloveeverywherefindinglove - Track Name: Balloon

the sun in the morning is so beautiful
the moon is so far it's not even real
the wind when you speak is full of heaven
and I wish I could feel what I feel
The night like a lion comes and goes again
the rain on an orchard rolls just like a wheel
a touch on the cheek or out and lonely through the week
yeah I wish I could feel what I feel
I feel what I feel like a blown up balloon in the night blowin round
won't let it be
the smile on a child or a garden in the spring
are full of the life no one can conceal
the size of the sea is unbelievable to me
and I wish I could feel what I feel
yeah I wish I could feel what I feel - Track Name: Zombie Say Hey
-
late in the night when I was ten
I'd sneak out across the fence behind the house into the woods
I'd walk alone beside the creek until I saw the tombstones
there all the Zombies were my friends
Zombie say hey hey hey how long can you stay
Zombie say ooooooooo
years later I think I was fourteen
we'd roam the night defacing churches and burning the school down
we had a lot of real good laughs
but I admit the Zombies never understood my wave of violence
Zombie say hey hey hey how long can you stay
Zombie say ooooooooo
and when I was twenty-one
that's when I came to decide that I could live just for the daylight
and I believed that they were gone
but like a friend who knows you well a Zombie waits til you come around
the Zombies really haven't changed
they came around the other day to see if I was still alive
we smoked a joint and looked around
and talked about the nights we'd laugh under the moon until the dawn
Zombie say hey hey hey how long can you stay
Zombie say ooooooooo - Track Name: Boiler Room

Boiler Room
standing alone in the boiler room
staring into the fire
I've never felt so close
I've never been so lost before
suddenly she's beside me
I've never felt so warm
somebody throw me a line
finding a home in another place in time
traveled a long way to find what's on my mind
I came alive in a woman's eyes
finally I felt alright
I've never been this way
staring into the fire
finding a home in a lost and lonely lifetime
traveled a long way to find what's on my mind
throw me a line I am lost in words of reason
show me a way to another point of view
bring me a light in an ordinary daydream
something in life to remind myself of you
finding a light in the boiler room
suddenly I'm on fire
I've never been this way
suddenly she's beside me
somebody throw me a line - Track Name: Nocturne
-
he turns the light on in the night
makes him not feel so all alone
and calms the whisper and the moan
the shadows and the light
make him imagine being grown
into a world as hard as stone
and though he'll know the way the turns are never clear
and for a time he could find himself wandering the days away
until a dream in the night
makes him remember where he's been
makes him recall those days and then
he'll turn on the light
and he'll feel not so alone
and he'll not feel so all alone
again - Track Name: Road Song
-
watch and wait wait and see
watch and wait wait and see for now
history hides in empty rooms
hangs on tight and shows the way
but now the circle's in the square
the mind is up for air and light
ice and snow cover everything
children know a place to hide
far below where you can cheat a friend
the golden glow fades to light
and now the circle's in the square
the mind is up for air and light - Track Name: Tom
-
he never saw the water look so still and not a sound at all beneath him
looking out beyond the window sill he realized this was all
her gentle ways were his relief
her light come shining through the trees would beckon him
oh and to watch her sleep was his religion
body rise and falling with the waves
and underneath the hunger calls
she flowed like water though his life
a perfect beautiful reflection
the wind would sometimes whisper "Tom, be careful"
oh but to watch her sleep was his religion
body rise and falling with the waves
and underneath the hunger calls
oh and the waves were screaming in the darkness
and the tears were crashing all around
oh and he was purified in sadness
and underneath him not a sound - Track Name: High Road
-
I can't wait to be walkin on the high road looking down on what I've made
I can't wait til I feel the weight of my load lift up off my shoulders and fade
walkin the high road walkin the high road walkin the high road
I can't wait til the people of the lowlands feel it coming down like rain
I'll be sending out an intoxicating whisper
gonna slip my secret straight to the vein
walkin the high road walkin the high road walkin the high road
everybody's fighting but no one ever wins
everybody's fighting but nobody ever wins
show me your emotions and I'll give em just a little spin
I can't wait to be walkin on the high road looking down on what I've made
I can't wait til I feel the weight of my load lift up off my shoulders and fade
walkin the high road walkin the high road walkin the high road - Track Name: I Don't Know
-
I don't know
I don't know where we go
I don't know
you have to learn to lose the things you love so much
and learn to let go of the people that you love
and you must listen to the demons in your head if you want to beat them
but don't believe them
I used to think I knew but I don't know - Track Name: Maybe A Song
-
give me something sweet and true
to hang my troubles on
maybe a song
maybe a song
give me something bright and real
to prove my worries wrong
and tell me I belong
maybe a song
and when my hopes have washed away
give me something to go on for
and when my dreams have gone astray
give me something I can long for
anyday, anyway, everywhere
give me something to believe
so that I can carry on
maybe true love
but true love can go wrong
oh and true love can go wrong
maybe a song
