Breaking Into
You and I
You and I
Are not the same
You and I
Two paths behind
strange to find colored blue....
<pause>
An ocean that crept between
How did I lose my way?
A darkness that welled unseen
When did you lose your name?
Can we ever change again?
Will we ever change again?
Can we ever change again?
Ever change again...
You and I
You and I
Were not insane
You and I
These paths ahead
Absent dead, shadowed through....
<pause>
Hours and years unceasing stream
How can you find your way?
Light perchance to glimpse again
When will I find my name?
Can we ever change again?
Will we ever change again?
Can we ever change again?
Ever change again..
Helicopter
<clapping>
hovering
hovering
though clouds do drift
by
though winds blister
cold depths known
always new
sadnesses chilled
ever into
<clapping>
hovering
hovering
hovering
hovering
i remain
barefoot and battered
crimson ice
pass for shoes
yet alive
is the light
<clapping>
crazy eyes
crazy eyes
crazy eyes
crazy eyes
above
yet below
these crazy eyes
sapphires blue
hovering
hovering
hovering
hovering
<clapping>
above while below
<clapping... fades>
Two Souls
<Chorus
I>
Two lives
benign
Two souls
aligned
These sisters
Now
Mothering
Mothering
<Chorus
II>
Two sons cousin
Two paths
herein
Those sisters
Then
Mothers sing
Mothers sing
Veiled notes
Echoing
Echoing
In this Spring
Born as one
Fated two
But Warmth
Of Womb
In this Spring
The Dawn
Ablaze
In their
Spring.
Chrysalis
Blankets and bedding
My soiled sneakers on
fire
Burning through the
threads
Of a chrysalis
Condos of cardboard
My pinots on fire
Burning through the
glass
Of a chrysalis
Doctors and pill drugs
My boiled livers on
fire
Burning through the
flesh
Of a chrysalis
Mopeds moustaches
My jolly egos on
fire
Burning through the
cells
Of a chrysalis
Why can't we see...
this... shell?
This stage ever declining
Why can't we be...
more... well?
Well we can be
What we can see
Why can't we aim...
for... more?
This veil it is
deciding
Why can't we claim...
a... core?
And escape out
Through the thin
surrounds
To be in sane
Meaning within
sane?
Why form
membranes
When they all contain?
Our souls....
Our souls.....
These souls....
Hidden away
In a chrysalis
In our chrysalis
In your
chrysalis
In my chrysalis
just break through
