Breathe For Me
The shadow of a woman’s smile
The memory of how much I miss
The whisper in the blood
The prelude to a kiss
Oh, my soul, I ache for beauty
The revelation road
The blossoming
The promise of a new romance
The backward glance foreshadowing
Breathe for me
I kneeled down at the altar in St. Mary’s
And filled my communion glass
Drinking shots of hundred proof
I was glory bound at last
Breather for me
Breathe for me, my darling
Breathe for me
Give me something to desire
Breathe for me
I am only blood and bone
I am wishing on a star
I am walking through this field of stone
I am wondering where you are
Here is my St. Christopher
I broke it from the chain
The patron saint of travelers lost
Can you help me find my way again?
Will you summon up the warring angels
Of my spirit and my spine?
Will you kiss me with your lipstick lips
In a long, red, crooked line?

Ariel
Speak to me of love in its elemental form
Down to the grinding of the bone
Acid, yes, and alkali
The synapse, the dopamine rush, the pheromones
Two animals dancing
Yes, I have been unforthcoming
Separated from you by a gully that’s a thousand miles
The spirit and the flesh combine
But they will never be reconciled
I want to feel something move me
Ariel
This waking world
Ariel
This waking world
Ariel
This waking world
Descending from a dream
i come to you withholding nothing
I come to you willing to confess it all
You are my death and my damnation
You are my breath and my salvation
By your love I am set free
By your love I am enthralled
Swallow me whole, my love
Body and soul, my love
Spread your wings
And enfold me, my love
Hold me, my love
I can terrify, brother, to a love so strong it’s like a chemical change
I am mystified, brother, by all the pleasure and the pain
I am humbled, brother
I am constantly amazed
That I am so willing to lean into the blaze

Jericho
The moon behind the clouds
All the things I never told you
I will tell you now
Take you in my arms and hold you
Down here in the dirt
You and I, we always told the truth
Even when it hurt
Our love is such a strange and bitter fruit
When I call you, baby, will you come
And when I fall down, baby, will you come
And if I build a wall around my heart, will you come and stay with me
Stay with me in Jericho
Release me from this clay
And I will cross my stars with your stars
You will be my revolution
And my breath and my blood
My healing up and my undoing
Me, I am the black sun spinning ‘round
And you, you are the needle in the groove
And we will sing the song electric
Until there’s nothing left for us to prove

Dying Sun
Walk with me through this field of stone
Walk with me through this field of stone
I have always walked this way alone
Now you’re by my side
Speak to me of love and death
Speak to me of love and death
I am more than bones and breath
The night is long
But I am not afraid
Love is the moon
And I am a dying sun
Love is the moon
And I am a dying sun
I burn for you
I burn for you, my lover
I burn for you
I burn for you, my love
Nothing here is ours to keep
Nothing here is ours to keep
Before I lay me down to sleep
I will give you all my heart
From my chest the rib is torn
From my chest the rib is torn
When one star dies, another star is born
Forever and ever
Love’s eternal, love’s divine
Love’s eternal, love’s divine
When I leave this world behind
The light I made will slowly fade
But another light will shine

Raise Me Up

Raise Me Up
It’s like I told you before
No one can do it alone
You need someone to follow you down
Down to the bone
It’s a spiritual thing
To fight the fade into black
I see the lights of the city
But I can’t find my way back
When you’re underneath the wreckage
With your heart caved in
You’ve got no particular interest in the stages of grief
Or the wages of sin
Raise me up, Raise me up higher now
Ain’t nothing metaphorical
Not when the darkness descends
You think your wounds will never heal
You think your heart will never mend
Aint no divine intercession
Just flesh and blood
She says,” A slow dance will save you”
All my angels are made out of mud
Raise me up, Raise me up higher now
Oh, my angels
I am falling
I am bleeding
I need you
Oh, my angels
Can you hear me?
I am calling
I am calling you
They may leave before you’re ready
But they mend what they break
Sometimes they hide more than they reveal
But they always give more than they take
When I am from myself concealed
They make it clear to me
That the man I am is always just one breath away
From the angel I can be
Raise me up, raise me up higher now

Blind To Your Own Beauty

Blind To Your Own Beauty
I pulled the arrow from my heart
But I could not make it right
Bad faith and Seconal and wreckage
The endless night
So I yielded up what I had been
I was dying there of thirst
I went looking for the river
But the river found me first
You’re blind to your own beauty
I could not hold the water back
So I made a temple from the mud
Over my heart I drew a dagger
And 3 drops of blood
The first drop, I made the red of ruin
The second drop, the red of flame
The third drop, so red it’s almost black
Was the first letter of your name
You’re blind to your own beauty
Faithless heart
Can you believe?
She offered up her mouth to kiss
And you received it
You raise me up, my darling
You lift me from despair
Oh, my love, the poetry of death and resurrection
Is a mystery darker than your raven hair
You’re blind to your own beauty
But I see you

Gone To Water

Gone To Water
I would never waste my breath
To sing the mortal blues
The story ends in love or death
I know which one I’d choose
I am gone to water
I will wear my crooked crown
Gone to water
Bring it up from underground
I am gone
I’ve never been afraid to know
I will not tremble now
I can not hear the angels sing
But I sure can hear the black dog howl
I am the dreamer and the dream
I am the candle, I am the flame
I am the water gone downstream
I am the river that remains
Some day I will kiss the sky
Some day I’ll paint it black
Some day I’ll tear this playhouse down
Walk away and not look back

Your Name Will Be Safe In My Mouth
Hush now, baby
Close your eyes and sleep, my dear
You are safe
And I’m right here
With every breath you are becoming
Dreaming at your mother’s breast
This is the world
And I am your father
I wish I was stronger
I wish I was a better man than this
I’m gonna stumble
But I can promise
Your name will be safe in my mouth
I’m here
For you
The world is full of sorrow
The world is full of wonder, too
You have
My love
Flesh of my flesh
Blood of my blood
And I will hold you in my dreams
While you walk the moonlight mile
And when I think of you
I smile
Breathe slow
Hold still
Before you fly away, my son
Sit here with me for a minute on the windowsill
And watch the sun coming up
Watch the whole world turn to gold
It’s not what you lose in the shadows
It’s what you choose to hold

The Song Unsung

The Song Unsung
She was standing in the pale moonlight
A strange beauty summoning the dawn
I felt like I was being summoned to
Maybe I was right, maybe I was wrong
She told me all she could with her muscles and her bones
As we lay dying in her bed
“Now, darling, you can either stay with me or go
I’ll leave that up to you, “she said
Here’s to the words unspoken
Here’s to the journey that never was begun
To the beauty that I’ll never know
Here’s to the song unsung
Here’s to the song unsung
It is divided day and night
In my heart I always knew
There was glory in the light
There was also something dark and true
Between the angel and the animal
Between the living and the dead
And every chance I did not take
Was another life I could have led
Lead on, my heart, and I will follow
Lead on, my heart, I will be true
Lead on my heart, I have come so far
Guided by this morning star
Just to be with you
I have heard the rumors of a man complete
But I have never met one yet
I have heard the sirens sing
A song I’m trying to forget
Now I’ve become what I desire
As sure as character is fate
And every choice I made was right
And every choice I made was a mistake
