ASK iAN * THE DREAM WILL COST YOU MORE
i wanted to move purple mountains and make God proud to be my maker
then i saw Lincoln's empty top hat and knew the battle was forever lost
i abuse myself so i couldn't haul ass like a cheetah
I wanted to roll slow dice in the fractured rains
as the wealth of the country ranches went down in flames
Certain nights you want to eat your hands like Goya, wishing for something
to hush the brain
now that silence is a novelty act, something you can only remember
but never hear again
The Sun radiates no sound
the beach boys cut it for most
the moon sounds like a victrola
or the happy face of a girl
Valentines do not Return
unless coffin exhumed
killing ourselves
over paper
the illusions of control
Once we were wild as the River
now we're boxed up tightly nice
as a cell phone wrapper
bar coded
consuming fully loaded
Too tight to water colour
Wound Up broken watches
Eagles with nothing to grasp
Driving to the mall only to forget what we came for
I'm gonna listen to the sea shells tonight instead of the computer
and hear with my eyes by candle light
talk like dog eyes
move slow like sunrise
i am Wall St. Free
i am the purple mountains
of the blood and bone that came before me
i don't need a gun
to talk like the Sun
i am a guitar
i am a motor
i am the burning pages
i am the stars that ignite this room
leaving teardrops like Johnny left seeds
nothing is OK
and that is OK
i don't wanna make history
instead
i'll
make soft moments
alive forever
in the soft flicker in your eye
melt away like a snowflake
drunk as a honey bear
calm as a medicine man
mean as a River
clean as silver
warm as Home
Your Destiny Awaits You...
