Technically a duet, to be recorded with Voice 2 when I’m less shy 

—————

Indecision 
Is a coin rolling on its edge
While you wait
For a sign
Can’t make tails nor heads 
Of what is
Blinded by 
All of what could be 
The road not taken
A mirage of probability 

Here’s to the ones who never will choose
And here’s to the ones in between 
A Jack of all trades has plenty to lose 
But when we’re broken, we’re still complete
 

Mobility is freedom
I look because I leap
  Well-anchored in my kindom
  There's nothing quite as sweet

And when we grow together
That's when our waves converge
Your tethers and my feathers
The harmonies emerge

  And here's to the ones who put down their roots
  Here's to the ones who still dream
  With movement to guide us we'll build more each day
  No two moments are ever the same 

And when we grow together
That's when our paths align
Stability in motion 
We’ll resonate with time

And when we grow together
That's when our waves converge
Your tethers and my feathers
The harmonies emerge


Yeah I'll make it home for that 
  And we'll make a home that lasts

Angular Momentum

Open sourcery 
The best things in life are free-ly
Give ’n take you up on the life you’re livin
Syncing up our manic rhythms 
Passing in the night 

A spark is born
With a long way to go
Through circuits swarmed 
With static and snow
Connections, unexpected, bring us back to what we know 
To create and synthesize is to let go 

Open sourcery 
I’m giving up the reigns 
Are falling hard
Upon the soil of what’s to come
We share the toil, and when it’s done
Now look again
The story’s only just begun

Open sourcery 
We’re greater than the sum of all our
peace-is not the same as being still
It’s in the days we’ve yet to fill
And in the eye of the beholder
Stood with giants on our shoulders 
Set a chorus for the song next to be sung

Open Sourcery

When home’s a moving target 
wear your heart out on your starboard 
At port, you feel at ease
we’re all captains here, you see

Now planted on the shore
No more fight or flight, no ores
To take you far away from this,
Stand your ground and learn to witness

Restless sea legs 
 wander for the 
 chance of what they’ll meet
Be the light house
 that you hoped to
  find across the sea
Light house light
Be yours tonight

Vigilant and powerless 
to change what will become
Watch the waves embrace the sky 
With tender kisses of oblivion 

Swallowed by the deep
Secrets no one’s left to keep
Cast your darkest doubts among them
Cut the line and set them free

be a Lighthouse, not a turret 
arm with nothing more than fuel
to Keep the beacon burning
taming shadows of the shoal 

Restless sea legs
 wander for the
  chance of something more
Keep the light eternal
 burning bright
 from those before
Light house light
Into the night

Lighthouse

A song for getting through the worst of times with the best of humans.

Lyrics

Wish I could protect you
But it’s all that I can do
To be by your side 
And even that 
The miles between us fray

When it rains, it por-tends 
gritted teeth through bitter ends
Not quite silver lines 
But in between
There’s space enough to say 

How my heart is so much fuller
With you in it 
Pick the compass up 
And spin it 
And if you can’t find true
north, finding home will have to do

Cause home is where the art of
never letting go of love 
Holds us gently through the fear
Until we’re whole enough to steer 

A glimpse of better days 
Like windshield wipers through the haze 
Laughter cuts in for a breath
A quick reminder in this mess   

How my heart is so much lighter 
With you near
Just might make it through this year 
Though our ghosts 
may feel so heavy
Arm in arm, we will be ready

Gender Ipsum (feat. Betwixt)

Reinvent yourself with every
 (changing of the) season 
So you never have to taste
 the honey draining from the moon 

A monument of (half-incepted)
 (sentiments and) reasons 
Set them up against the pyre of
 this half-forgotten tune

Let’s burn it down together,
  make a promise not to promise 
 More than we can hold
back from the grip
 of tomorrow’s shifting tides 

Orobore-us with a tale of 
  who you meant to be 
Before days grew old
And life got in the way 
  of living Live


What if I’m not enough 
 for all I want to do?
And what if I’m not enough
 to save you, too?

But what if we’re enough 
  to make it through? 
And what if I don’t have 
  to save you, too?


And even in the midst of all this hunger, 
   I am full 
     of appetite, 
and we are seeds,
our incompleteness makes us whole

Honeymoon

Back at it again with another hella rough uke jam 

----
I'm so full
I couldn't possibly
love another
One more soul
full of complexities
and troubles
But we stretch
and grow
Grow together, and we know
Know each other, and we know
Nothing's forever
So we love today
And start again

So Full

This one's about entropy, love, and the stuff in between. 

Warning for the appalling lack of tuning. I mean, y i ke s.
Will try to get a cleaner recording later.

Endtropy

Moving in 
with you
Move in sync with two 
rhythms old and knew

  you long ago
Couldn't see the road
stretching out behind 
we were nearly blind from the
Fire
       Changes
and Fire burns
We seem stranger
the more that we learn
We keep spending
more time than we earn
Why save up if we love rainy days?

Moving on
it's so easy   
to not 
get attached 

If you walk away
nothing crumbles and fades 
if you never let
it Last 
           into Old Age
See it tattered and frayed
like those cracks in the path choked with
daisies and sage
Little artefacts that you'd only have known
if you stayed 

Moving slow 
Move  in  time 
Carve a home in the rock
Draw our Lines
in the sand

Shifting winds 
paint our days on the sky
For once, be the canvas,
not just the scribe

Oh, I look forward
to rises and sets
of the sun, of your chest
as we're lying in bed
Watching time take notes 
on our pages of flesh 
Yes, let's write our story, 
Let's start right after The End.

Stationary

A song to say goodbye 

-------------

The only thing I have to send with you is Love,
the only thing I have to send with you is Love 

As you close your eyes for one last time
You're picking up the thread 
That you've sewn with every dream
And every dreamless night in bed 
Tie it off at the beginning
And the dream that came before 
No more tugging at loose ends
Now you're a tapestry of More

And the only thing we ever really do is Love
The only thing we ever really do is Love

When we're the rain that's falling
Giving life with rhythm to the earth 
Or we're the moon that's shining
Measuring the tides and giving birth
To all the songs and stories
Hear them if you listen for a while
Between the sounds of silence

                                     And for a while,

The only thing you had to be was you
The only thing you had to be was you

And now that's no longer true
You're the rain and you're the moon
We breathe your air and we sing your songs 
And one day we'll too belong 

Until then 

The only thing we have to send with you is Love,
the only thing we have to send with you is Love.
