... Carousel ...
place this coin in the back of your mouth
(now swallow it down)
this will show you who's who & what what's all about
turn the lights down…pink & blue (yellow too)
cotton candy clouds are filling the room
just hang on you'll really get lost
if you get off too soon
you can trot, you can pace
there is no winner in this game
here, the horses take the reins
this ingénue is giving you away
a few more coins will last you the night
with carousel shoes & painted eyes
i think you'll do just fine
they'll never know what you've got inside
just go towards the carousel lights
REMEMBER: "they can't take
what YOU don't let them find…"
we go fast we go slow WE GET HIGH & we get low
we dine with devils & dance with clowns
we go round & round & ROUND...
and when we SPIN we don't care who's skin we're in
it's all FUN & games till I trip on their footprints
time & again
i turn on the lights but the room is vacant
for relishing sins I'm bridled in this desolation
we fall down, we fall out
we get up, to fall back down
it has cost you SO MUCH for this little bout
& your coins have just run out
the MOST beautiful things
come from such dark places
all these things I learn just keep filling up their spaces
my heart used to recognize their faces
from time to time I think I pick up traces...

... Bait ...
this cage...
this cage has a window
i can see out...
i can see so far
i cast a line
woven with silhouettes
i’ve pulled from my mind
stinking with sentiment
i use this as bait
sit in the cage and wait
it sinks to the floor…
soaked to the bone
i’m on the other side
at the end of the rope…
but i can see out…
i can see so far…

... Sand & Stories ...
we all start from a seed
then piece by piece
we are shaped by the hands of dreams
well, it's not easy to believe
in the places that exist outside of me
but I have to wonder...
where I wander
when I fall...
when I fall asleep
whenever I step outside of me
I find myself on Fiddler's Green
I'm never alone when I fall...
when I fall asleep

... Blizzard ...
blankets of white
i couldn't tell earth from sky
poison from pie
a cool kiss from frostbite
fire and ice
earth and sky
i will do what i can
i will find you again
eyes on the prize
the sun is getting dim
you can light your way
but when the blizzard kicks in
they say, "move fast,"
they say, "snow can cut glass..."
in avalanche...
i couldn't see the light
and every time they opened
the wind burned my eyes
secluded in snowblind
i will do what i can
i will find you again
eyes on the prize
the sun is getting dim
you can light your way
but when this blizzard kicks in
they say, “move fast,”
they say, “snow can cut glass…”
in avalanche…
