Current song lyrics
The nightingale is still locked in the cage<br />The deep breath I took still poisons my lungs<br />An old oak sheltering me from the blue<br />Sun bathing on its dead frozen leaves<br /><br />A catnap in the ghost town of my heart<br />She dreams of storytime and the river ghosts<br />Of mermaids, of Whitman's and the rude<br />Raving harlequins, gigantic toys<br /><br />A song of mea song in need<br />Of a courageous symphony<br />A verse of mea verse in need<br />Of a ppure-heart singing me to peace<br /><br />All that great heart lying still and slowly dying<br />All that great heart lying still on an angelwing<br /><br />All that great heart lying still<br />In silent suffering<br />Smiling like a clown until the show has come to an end<br />What is left for encore<br />Is the same old dead boy's song<br />Sung in silence<br />All that great heart lying still and slowly dying<br />All that great heart lying still on an angelwing<br /><br />A midnight flight into Covington Woods<br />A princess and a panther by m side<br />These are Territories I live for<br />I'd still give mt everything to love you more<br /><br />A silent symphony<br />A hollow opus #1,2,3<br /><br />Sometimes the sky is piano black<br />Piano black over cleansing waters<br /><br />Resting pipes, verse of bore<br />Rusting keys without a door<br /><br />Sometimes the within is piano black<br />Piano black over cleansing waters<br /><br />All that great heart lying still and slowly dying<br />All that great heart lying still on an angelwing<br /><br />I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy street,<br />with a begging bowl in his shaking hand.<br />Trying to smile but hurting infinitely. Nobody notices.<br />I do, but walk by.<br /><br />An old man gets naked and kisses a model-doll in his attic<br />It's half-light and he's in tears.<br />When he finally comes his eyes are cascading.<br /><br />I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries to bite me.<br />All pride has left his wild eyes.<br />I wish I had my leg to spare.<br /><br />A mother visits her son, smiles to him through the bars.<br />She's never loved him more.<br /><br />An obese girl enters an elevator with me.<br />All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on her neck.<br />Terribly sweeet perfume deafens me.<br />She's going to dinner alone.<br />That makes her even more beautiful.<br /><br />I see a model's face on a brick wall.<br />A statue of porcelain perfection beside a violent city kill.<br />A city that worships flesh.<br /><br />The 1st thing I ever heard was a wandering<br />man telling his story<br />It was you, the grass under my bare feet<br />The campfire in the dead of night<br />The heavenly black of sky and sea<br /><br />It was us<br />Roaming the rainy roads, combing the guilded beaches<br />Waking up to a new gallery of wonders every morn<br />Bathing in places no-one's seen before<br />Shipwrecked on some matt-painted island<br />Clad in nothing but the surf - beauty's finest robe<br /><br />Beyond all mortality we are, swinging in the breath of nature<br />In early air of the dawn of life<br />A sight to silence the heavens<br /><br />I want to travel where life travels,<br />following its permanent lead<br />Where the air tastes like snow music<br />Where grass smells like fresh-born Eden<br />I would pass no man, no stranger, no tragedy or rapture<br />I would bathe in a world of sensation<br />Love, goodness and simplicity<br />(While violated and imprisoned by technology)<br /><br />The thought of my family's graves was the only moment<br />I used to experience true love<br />That love remains infintie,<br />as I'll never be the man my father is<br /><br />How can you "just be yourself"<br />when you don't know who you are?<br />Stop saying "I know how you feel"<br />How could anyone know how another feels?<br /><br />Who am I to judge a priest, beggar,<br />whore, politician, wrongdoer?<br />I am, you are, all of them already<br /><br />Dear child, stop working, go play<br />Forget every rule<br />There's no fear in a dream<br /><br />Is there a village inside this snowflake?<br />a child aske me<br />What's the colour of our lullaby?<br /><br />I've never bbeen so close to truth as then<br />I touched its silver lining<br /><br />Death is the winner in any war<br />Nothing noble in dying for your religion<br />For your country<br />For ideology, for faith<br />For another man, yes<br /><br />Paper is dead without words<br />Ink idle without a poem<br />All the world dead without stories<br />Without love and disarming beauty<br /><br />Careless realism costs souls<br /><br />Ever seen the Lord smile?<br />All the care for the world made Beautiful a sad man?<br />Why do we still carry a device of torture around our necks?<br />Oh, how rotten your pre-apocalypse is<br />All you bible-black fools living over nightmare ground<br /><br />I see all those empty cradles and wonder<br />If man will never change<br /><br />I, too, wish to be a decent manboy but all I am<br />Is smoke and mirrors<br />Still given everything, may I be deserving<br /><br />And there forever remains that change from G to Em
