coletrickle daily - part 2

Lyrics:

Above the chimney tops
the smoke ascends to view
as if all the house’s thoughts
were in a cloud like in cartoons

it’s true we are in pain
there’s no use in lying
but if we can’t smile while in flames
then really, what’s the use in smiling?

the more I learn and grow
the more I realize
if I knew all there was to know
well then, I’d always be surprised

with the ocean to our west
and the mountains to our east
it’s the places we know best
that we understand the least

I’m aching and I’m shivering
 in my flesh
I’m banking on this river
to stop and rest
I’m making a decision
at long last
to not make a decision
just yet

there’s a diamond in the sky
made of diamonds in the sky
in summers slept outside
I’d pitch a game there every night

and I’d ponder it a while
how wondrous and bizarre
that folks from every time
had wondered up at those same stars:

an ancient mariner lost at sea
looking for directions home
a peaceful forest glade where friends
around a fire eat and smoke

or a bloody battlefield
with fallen sons strewn all about
where mothers weep beneath proud Leo
while fathers carry their boys out
and they say, 

‘they’ve put out every light
again
they’ve poured away the wide
ocean
they’ve packed up the moonlight
into wood
and nothing now can ever come to good

no stars are here welcome
anymore
go rip apart the sun
banish warmth
stop all the instruments
close the books
for nothing now can ever come to good
nothing now can ever come to good’

and as I’d gaze about
at all those flaming spheres
the more I’d try to count
the more and more that would appear

and I’m not sure but I would guess
all wells are infinitely deep
and if we’re not diving toward the depths 
we’re cursed to think they can be reached

it’s the people you love best
that you understand the least

Auden

It will get easier I guess
I get the questions but fail the test
It will get easier I guess
Just give it time
But I'm not feeling fine

I see your name in someone else's frame
The words that I want next to my name
No-one would guess that I'm in pain
What's that about?
I want to shout our love out

I have a true love
That nobody knows
The pain of the secret clearly shows
I want to call out her name in the air
It matters to me whether anyone else cares

It will get easier I guess
But in my mind I'm just a mess
It will get easier I guess
I shouldn't care
Just so long as you are here

It will get easier with time
It's just that I'm proud that you are mine
It will get easier with time
If people see
That I'm down on one knee

I have a true love
That nobody knows
Does it really matter I suppose?
But if I died tomorrow the memories are just ours
And I want to talk of our love for hours
And I'm denied

It Will Get Easier I Guess

You remember that kung fu kid movie, where he had to wash the motorcycles for years and then…whatever, constant dripping wears away the stone. Dublin-Manchester-NYC’S finest Krystal Klear (Cold Tonic, All City, Tooth Pick) has been honing his skills as a dress man for years and also made a name for himself as an expert in all things (electronic) boogie. „The Division“ is his dapper debut EP for Running Back. Custom-made club studies shifting between sound factories, hot haciendas, heavenly lagoons and chrome-plated dance floors: fast, slow, hard and soft.
A love letter to dance music written with pink ink. Oh, and there is „Neutron Dance“ on it as well…yes, the euphoric fun one. once again: dance!"
