On The Run

We are one, a divining unity of tangled dreams
We were split at the hip in the guarded woods of the forest of the Hidden King
We were two then, strangers in the dark, hearts filled with madness and despair
We turned to the East, found no reprieve
Turned West just to compare
We are on the run, riding shotgun
Aim those silver bullets for the heart of the sun
If you’re a straight shooter, I’m a real pistol son
And you never will guess the way the West was won
We are one and our differences are not what they seem
We were split at the hip in water under the oak and cottonwood tree
We were two then sitting in the park, getting dark, in the floor of the valley where I sleep
Standing on the shoulders of giants soaking up the twilight fast asleep
We are on the run, riding shotgun
Aim those silver bullets for the heart of the sun
Got a couple straight shooters and a spool unspun
And you never will guess the way the West was won
54-40 or Fight!

Lila

I wish that I knew you, Lila, but I can’t.
Love has eluded us like water in our hands.
Pissing into the harbor in the morning mist off the deck.
Reduced to our biology is how it should be.
I could take you down on the finest trip.
You would never know where human begins.
Your pretty blue eyes a withdrawn lake.
You walk the line, you walk the plank.
Once again.
I wish that you knew me. Truly, Lila.
Lost you then I found you. Battered by a squall. A washed up doll.
Tried to take me for a ride. Rigel was right all along.
What now did you say to me? It was so far gone.
I could take you down for the finest trip.
You would never know what you were missing.
Your pretty blue eyes a withdrawn lake.
You walk the line, you walk the plank.
Til’ the end.

Secrets

Walking away to brighter horizons
Could’ve said you’d be the death of me but babe I’d be lying
Good times, bad times, it’s now and I’m here
Just a dimly lit visage in a hallway of mirrors
And I know that you know but even so
I was wrong thinking things were alright
Telling me secrets in the middle of the night
I’ve been losing, losing sleep
After all those secrets that you keep
Smiles of a summer’s night, young hearts are in bloom
See you at the station at a quarter to noon
Daisy chain I made it and I brought it for you
See you at the station technicolor rainboots
And I know that you know but even so
Little Jenny Walker, Texas oil for tea
Made a man out of lesser man I wanted to be
Speaking in rounds by the fallen oak tree
Worship my bones after they bury me
And I know that you know but even so
It’s just pillowtalk
