Divide my soul in half
Without you / Without me

Adrift with her
As I float away

You two swim away
With her / without me

Across split ends of the earth
Where you lost sight of our worth

Outside of our split resistance
Without you / Without me

Can see into my heart

Cut through our reality

See us from high up above
Only you
Can save me from a slow end
Only you
Pull us up with heart-shaped love

Will we forever be
Split completely in two
Never holding me to you

Inside our split reality

Trap us inside split lived lives
Without you / Without me

Soundless Sound...
---
Verse 1:
Mind deep in this quiet hushed life
I built up over nine long years
Fearless time dried up lost tears

Verse 2:
Heart questing for a place
Where clapping sticks crop
While rolling stones drop

Verse 3:
Soul needing a fresh space
Where my living flesh hones
Love around breathing bones
---
Chorus A:
Inside the soundless sound
Where dreams whisper and swoon
Under the cycling sun and moon

I catch many falling stars
With wishful hands held high
In between earth and sky
---
Verse 4:
Drunk on love's philters
Laughing at the lemon sun
Mind slowly coming undone

Verse 5:
My shifting bones
Drop where noise pops
Stops where heart bops

Verse 6:
With silver to the spoon
Glittering gold dust weeps
I'm in this life soul deep
---
Chorus B:
Beyond the soundless sound
Reach inside your soul's cave
Where there's no roads to pave

Let your ego fully dissolve
Into love peaceful as a dove
From earth below to sky above
---
Bridge:
Meditate to celebrate the wonders of our mind
Contort our bodies to create lucid ways to find
Alternate realities inside the soundless sound

Maintain equilibrium inside our dualities
Between the axiom of unseen realities
That are found beyond the soundless sound
---
Verse 7:
Lying under whispering trees
Falling leaves slowly steep
We're not losing any sleep

Verse 8:
Carelessly we dream
Under the phallic moon
While night lovers swoon

Verse 9:
Stars are spreading light
Deep in stills of the night
Silence becomes our truth
---
Chorus A:
Inside the soundless sound
Where dreams whisper and swoon
Under the cycling sun and moon

I catch many falling stars
With wishful hands held high
In between earth and sky
---
Verse 10:
Breaking through skies
Our souls we do keep
In our dreaming sleep

Verse 11:
Where will we wake
Tethered to the night
Thru astral travel flight

Verse 12:
True love will forever live
Inside halls that we roam
Of our house as eternal home
---
Chorus B:
Beyond the soundless sound
Reach inside your soul's cave
Where there's no roads to pave

Let your ego fully dissolve
Into love peaceful as a dove
From earth below to sky above

Word Thief...
---
Verse 1:
Flux snuck over daylight's comfort
Summer descended into autumn
Leaves lithely changed colors
Minds started spinning inward

Verse 2:
Late summer clouds swooned by
Leaves fell from swaying branches
Scattering over wispy grass
Softening the earth's bosom
---
Chorus:
A sharp echo of the moon's light
Spreads across the darkened night
You steal my words when I sleep

Lulled awake my tongue fails to speak
Silence starts to cunningly creep
Ain't you a devilish word thief
---
Verse 3:
Sun floated west for a horizon dip
Branches twisted to the sky
Hawks soared high and far
With wings spread open wide

Verse 4:
Darkness slowly seeped in
Obscuring twilight between tall trees
Desire's grip held tight to our longings
Hands loosened the flow of time's sand
---
Chorus:
A sharp echo of the moon's light
Spreads across the darkened night
You steal my words when I sleep

Lulled awake my tongue fails to speak
Silence starts to cunningly creep
Ain't you a devilish word thief
---
Bridge:
Words arrogantly filled up space
Cacophony cowered in time
Where rhythm had no rhyme

Beneath the sound of silence
Thoughtless time became a notion
When movement lost all its motion
---
Verse 5:
Flux slunk under night's cover
Summer was being swallowed whole
By the hollows of autumn's mouth
Inside night's whispering air

Verse 6:
Late summer stillness in wonder
With barely a sound to be heard
We resisted the surety of it all
Searching for reality in the beyond
---
Chorus:
A sharp echo of the moon's light
Spreads across the darkened night
You steal my words when I sleep

Lulled awake my tongue fails to speak
Silence starts to cunningly creep
Ain't you a devilish word thief
---
Verse 7:
Moon rose into the blackened sky
A sea of stars surrounding it
Wishes that were made in secret
Shot far and wide across the night

Verse 8:
Darkness encircled the liminal earth
Enveloping hope inside its embryo
Minds dove deep into autumn's bliss
Dreams ascended from its vast abyss
---
Chorus:
A sharp echo of the moon's light
Spreads across the darkened night
You steal my words when I sleep

Lulled awake my tongue fails to speak
Silence starts to cunningly creep
Ain't you a devilish word thief

Into my body
It's time for birth

I'm floating beneath the blue
All tangled up in green

Run to the lake
Run to the creek
Throw myself in
Wash away my sins
Start my life again

Run to the creek
Throw myself in
Wash away my sins
Cleanse my soul
Free my heart
Fill my mind with nascent truths
Leave my past far behind

Walking into life's high tide
I cross over love's great divide

Bound hands counting time
Saints call me to the edge of hope

Run to the creek

Drenched head to toe, free from all
