I trace the line between your lips so light, waking you from this night wanting you more than life Your trespassed lips taste like memories, resuscitating me, breathlessly as you breathe. Well, you know, you know I know, everything loved let’s go and you, you hope, you hope I hold, longer than love and a love supposed. I kiss your hands, your face, your smiling mouth. Oh, how your eyes stare out showing the world to me. I feel your heart pounds eternity. Making me want to be everything you believe Well, you know, you know I know, everything loved let’s go and you, you hope, you hope I hold, longer than love and a love supposed.
Closing doors, picking up the pieces. On the floor whispering for Jesus. Counting stars. Lost my place and position. Wishing for, now I’m here just wasted. I’m gonna ride through the night. I’m gonna find my way around this broken life. As you are. As I am. We’re gonna find our way around this broken life. Find the way, through the way, where you strayed, where you break. Counting stars, where you are, where you strayed, where you break. So, I am is the broken piece to your puzzle. Made these plans. Now we stand amongst the rubble. Falling through in the hole of my existence. Reaching through, take my hand cause I’m just drowning. I’m gonna ride through the night. I’m gonna find my way around this broken life. As you are. As I am. We’re gonna find our way around this broken life. Find the way, through the way, where you strayed, where you break. Counting stars, where you are, where you strayed, where you break. Closing doors, picking up the pieces. On the floor whispering for Jesus. (Find the light, in your life, where you strayed, where you break.)
Take it back. I’m not going back. I’m the damage done. Oh, the broken one. Looking past a crippled past. What’s been done can’t be undone. Momma there’s something wrong with me. Momma this life is not for me. Keep It all together now. Keep it all together now. Keep it all the pleasure is mine. Keep It all together now. Keep it all together now. Keep it all whatever is fine. Looking out from this inside out. What’s happening keeps happening. What went wrong now just belongs. This thundering is in my head again. Momma there’s something wrong with me. Momma this life is my disease. Keep It all together now. Keep it all together now. Keep it all the pleasure is mine. Keep It all together now. Keep it all together now. Keep it all whatever is fine. Keep it all. Just Keep it all. Just Keep it all. The pleasure is mine. Keep it all. Just Keep it all. Just Keep it all. The whatever is fine.
I was a hazard you couldn’t contain. Spatial, inverted where feelings stayed strange. Wandered in wounded, Unwinding the hurt. Disturbing a vision, blinded by thoughts. I stepped through your window, staring right at you and there was a pig with blood on its face. A byzantine baby sleeping beside you. I startled the pig when I touched your face. Surrender sifting through the endlessness, waiting for the happiness, stumbling into what’s next. Remember, this is your epiphany. Waking from a tragedy, waiting there for you and me. I laid there beside you, dissolving into you, kissing your lips of modality. You couldn’t imagine the depths of my passion, breathlessly reaching depravity. You whispered, “I’m coming” as I was becoming a boy deconstructed by cruelty. The feeling defined me; these feelings defy me. The broken keeps breaking so perfectly. Surrender sifting through the endlessness, waiting for the happiness, stumbling into what’s next. Remember, this is your epiphany. Waking from a tragedy, waiting there for you and me. Remember, surrender, surrender, remember.
In a California Haze B Brian 2022 When you tell that tale, you make it sound so real, but my lying eyes now see. From your burning hills, bloom the daffodils and a homelessness obscene. I was so compromised. I let my love decide. Now, the lone star comforts me. Lost in a walkabout I never found myself, but the truth is plain to see. I saw the sunset in your eyes. Hypnotized. Paralyzed. The sunlight drifting through your hair leaves you here, disappears in a California haze. In a California haze. In a California haze. In the atrophy of your majesty fades a dying bear’s red star. I was so compromised. I left my love behind like a worn-out refuge. I saw the sunset in your eyes. Hypnotized. Paralyzed. The sunlight drifting through your hair leaves you here, disappears in a California haze. In a California haze. in a California haze. In a California haze.
She’s lying there next to you Filtering through the sunlight’s edge Drifting beyond what’s never said. She touches herself for you, moves your hand between her legs. Heaven is waiting here for you. And for the shadows and the ruins we became washed out like Ashes in the rain. Dissolving into sunlight, devolving until feelings are right Stained into the memories of our skin. She comes as she closes her eyes Becoming the emptiness inside Waiting for heaven to descend. And for the shadows and the ruins we became washed out like Ashes in the rain. And for the shadows and the ruins we became washed out like ashes in the rain. And for the shadows and the ruins we remain Crushed by the sunlight of our shame.
Save my faith while I lose myself. Give me grace to forgive myself. The soul is willing, but the heart is weak. The heart is beating for the soul I keep. All I know its time to go heading to the place I am. All I chose, now unfolds. Come and take me by the hand. Hold me now I’m letting go. I’ve been holding on for so long. Holding on is all I know. I just finally want to let go. Say may name while you move your mouth. Taste what’s left when you spit me out. The hole I’m digging will proclaim a life worth living is a life in flames. All I know its time to go. Heading to the place I am. All I chose, now corrodes. Come and take me as I am. Hold me now I’m letting go. I’ve been holding on for so long. Holding on is all I know. I just finally want to let go. Hold me now. Hold me now. Hold me now and don’t let go. Holding on. Holding on. Holding on and letting go. Hold me now. Hold me now. Hold me now and don’t let go. Holding on. Holding on. Holding on and letting go.
Stand in the light, stand where you once felt feeling Its doing you right, darkness is so deceiving Doesn’t the light, doesn’t the light, look good on you. Frail is the light, fragile against your beauty Whispers good night, kisses your face so gently Doesn’t the light, doesn’t the light, look good on you. Tripping the line, falling between the pieces, doing the time, can’t find the feeling that I was, what I caused, what I was, what I loved Doesn’t the light, doesn’t the light, look good on you. I was a shadow, playing in pure light wandered through nothing till nothing felt right as I held you so tightly your sun setting eyes reflected beauty, a beautiful life. I was born in sunrise, chased by a day, Caught in a sunset making its way. Well, I am here to bear witness existence is blind. Yeah, I am here to bear witness creation desires. I’m here to bear witness we’re forever eternal, divine.
Better than some, better than none, better as one, what we become. Breathe your belief, find what you lost, take what you need, suffer through me. love is a fire burning brighter for your love. love is a fire burning brighter for your love. The want in your eyes, the taste of your smile, the hope in your tears, arresting out fears. Like embers exposed, naked desires, through whispers and moans, we’re flames of the fire. love is a fire burning brighter for your love love is a fire burning brighter for your love. Outro chorus love, yeah love, yeah love, is on fire. love, yeah love, yeah love, is on fire. love is on fire. love is on fire. Maurice Ravel’s - Bolero
