Designs on a Mirror
Gravel hurts the strongest foot
Drives the thread on through the eye
Begs for answers
Searches for truth
Doesn't wait for a reply
Treat the passage as if it would find you a home
Stormy sea is calmed by wind
Nothing but cold water to swim in
Chest is buried fathoms deep
Hold much breath, tuck in your shirt
There are many miles to go before you sleep
Treat the passage as if it would find you a home
Hold your Bible close
But don't forget the weight of fear
Drives the strongest to their knees
Pits the stars against the earth
So the story goes for Mother Goose
Who lost the race but kept it close
Just another tail that fell behind
I still pray for nursery rhymes
From time to time
Treat the passage as if it would find you a home

Alamo
Knowledge floats like debris, with toothpicks we stab the breeze
And it seems that we’re pulling on obstructions and we let them bleed
The Ketchup bottle winners, the well-respected sinners
They’re catching up all over me
And those words, they’re on my mind
You can see them all the time
And those words, they’re all around
First they’re lost, then they’re found
What is wrong with me, poking so much fun for free
The hole is in the weather and my eyes are lashing out at me
The candy apple people sipping brandy in gazebos
And I’m scrounging for the apple seed
Chorus

Bridha
That was about the time when she came down
To read him a story about the whale
And all the little icicles that had formed in around him
Melted away like a pretty snail
He was born then
He wept through her pages in the dark
Rushing now to meet the moment
To scale the walls that he put up
What about the time when it all came down on him
It was a message to the world
Making sense of time was the impact on him
It was the message to the world
He stepped out seeking gravity
Loosely tipping the door to see
The world around him seemed stranger then
He ever hoped it could be
When she found out
Disguised as a question he could never name
She blew the door so wide now
So wide, he fell through again
What about the time when it all came down on him
It was a message to the world
Making sense of time was the impact on him
It was the message to the world
What about the time when it all came down on him
It was a message to the world
Making sense of time was the impact on him
It was the message to the world
