"Town of Ghosts"

When I get home at the end of the day,

My house will remind me of where I haven't been 

I'll be looking for no one within the familiar walls 

And I'll feel nothing when I get in.

But I'll think of you, my deepest fascination

The darkest doors locked only to protect you

It is for you, and you alone I wish to remain

But it all turns black just to bitter my shame.

The pools beneath the window reflecting pale faces,

Cold hands, the quiet voices, and you've had your stay

so you get in your car and shoot the sapphire headlights

Into the ghost  people passing away

I am standing in the distance, far faded behind,

Wondering when you'll return to these towns

And if I'll still be around.

"Endorphins"

You jump into a waterfall

And disappear in mist and foam

I find your body afloat below

Are you only sleeping? 

Might I wake you?

Or would you rather I left you dream?

A motionless girl in motionless stream.

"Embryo"

Take me to the city, Love

That's where I want to be

Because it is so dull at home

And nothing pleasures me

I am not afraid and though

These memories weigh me down,

For the night we can go

And leave them with the town

For I have become restless, Love

I cannot stand to stay

So let us go quickly now, 

Together and fade away

Into the crowds that fill the street

Through both the day and night

Into the perpetual energy,

And colored, electric light

from my window I can see

The tips of the towers tall

Like arms reaching fore Heaven's knee 

And Heaven's sending as if to fall

Lightning bolts and a driving rain

To the sleepless city below

but tonight, no fear, He won't explain

So quickly, Love let us go.

"Need Will Drive Us Out"

You are quiet as death, my friend

I have found the same, my friend

My sorry face and hands will bend

Fate for this emptiness between

If it's neither treasure to you, Dear,

Tell me what you're still doing here

Let your heart become a stone well, a mirror

Deep as the universe

For in you I see every light in the sky,

With every color of the rainbow's dye,

Like a waterfall flowing to purify,

And all so thrilling I could stay.

And whenever I see you, wherever, somehow,

We are standing on sunbeams in clouds

With less than a drop of feral doubt

That the darkest need will drive us out.
