about

A raw attempt at something unique.
Part of an ongoing concept, 'Beautiful Isolation'.

lyrics

Submerged in this desire
Sinking below and pacified
Can not; will not
Break my glare
Sinking in the mire

{I thought I knew the answers
I thought I knew it all
Through the gaps of my fingers
and off the palm they all fall
I thought I saw the end
I thought I knew what comes
Now my thoughts have run empty
And the walking now crawls
For wings they now pin me
When once thought they would fly
I never knew the answers
And now my hands have been tied}

Entangled in curls
Wrapped around sea breeze and twirls
Crisp jitters turn to knots
Empty words becoming thoughts
Black and white; and blue and green
There is hope to find the space between
As for now the wind softly hissed
Through the gaps yet to be kissed

Rain will fall upon the backs of toads
Sealing life upon the load
Abstract packages heal the drought
Frogs will buzz with piggy snout

Thoughts of you are one to marvel
Somersaults and skin of marble;
Firm yet so fragile through
These dreams are only dreams the dreams of loving you

MUD PIES AND FRUIT FLIES
THERE'S ROOM UPON THE TABLE
MUD PIES AND FRUIT FLIES
JOIN US IF YOU'RE ABLE

As I stared in the lady's eyes I saw no room to weep
It seems as though the harvest full yet there's none left for me
I sat through the stormy skies
Hair dripping; Stomach tied
Sparks have died; Festering
PULL THE SLOT MACHINE
MY SOUL LATRINE

{Reprise}
Submerged in this desire
Sinking below and pacified by eyes of fire
I can not break my glare
DEEPER IN THE MIRE

MUD PIES AND FRUIT FLIES
THERE'S ROOM UPON THE TABLE
MUD PIES AND FRUIT FLIES
JOIN US IF YOU'RE ABLE
{Won't you join us? Would you join us if you're able?}
