HALO (Words & Music by Kirk Ross)

Halo… ring of light
Say it’s so… and say I’m right
Summer sets… the hills are golden
In the fire…the ring is broken

And I said to myself,
“I see your soul…what is it gonna be?”

Peril… death in flight
Evil’s tale, in red and fright
Run away and hide from vengeance
And in the end, you’ll end this madness

And I said to myself,
“I see your soul…what is it gonna be?”

Halo (piano version)

IN A WORD
(Written & Performed by Kirk Ross)
In a word, in a word
You are light
Glowing sight
But I can’t see you

In a word, in a word
You are gold
Secrets told
But I can’t hear you

In a word, in a word
You are gone
Through my arms
And I can’t reach you
No I can’t feel you

In A Word

FATHER

She sits with open eyes and tries to understand
The pastor turns a page, the church is empty

Cold, in the corner, the quiet girl
prays for her father to rescue her
She was in danger, too young to know the words

Then many years went by, she tried to numb pain
The silence in her heart is hurting her

Over the ocean, the restless girl
prays for her father to comfort her
He wants to tell her but cannot say the words

I am so sorry, my girl

And now she’s on the bridge, it’s time to make a choice
She steps into the light, it’s all around her

Hope in the balance, the lonely girl
prays for her father to answer her
She has to tell him, she has to say the words

 I forgive you father

BLUE LIGHT

Blue light…
All I see is a blue light
Nothing more than a blue light
All in all, it’s a blue light…inside

I try…to hold my head with my
chin high…to raise my arms in a 
big “Y”…to stay away from a
deep dive…inside

Help me…
Save me from a cold hell
Raise me from a dark well
Break me from a hard shell

Blue light…
Can’t you tell there’s a
blue light…on the hill there’s a
blue light…on your will there’s a
blue light…outside

Help us…
Save us from a cold hell
Raise us from a dark well
Break us from a hard shell

Monalisa rise!
Monalisa rise!

Blue Light

PUMKIN POEM (words & music by Kirk Ross)

Two more nights- snicker, snicker; lengthy
Resting coldly between breast plates-
Angular coffins and aging varnish; age
Breathed the last and drew it slow-
through my flexing tubes; inward; hot
Dry and dry and dry; once more

To the merry mounting post of dog-grins
and key fellowships; straighten and
strengthen lips for again and again
Fierce and tall oblong statue spinning; spin...
Accurately from two composed nexus; his
Images reversed from intermittent light;
Creeping shadows on spokes;;; He changed 

Leaps forward with the red light and stops-
gleaming elements; 115; atomic weight
drizzled elegantly over arrangements...my arrangements

Spreading teeth and bloated crescent; pink
nubile lips bleeding sex; hold me- hold
Spikes eject- connecting; love me- love

Frozen moments can’t hide this; warm lust
Something secret; new and red and mashed;
Feed me in real time; sweets and canvas

For a millisecond I milled about the 
intense little holes; no rebut- 
Just this candle in my head; 
Align the lid and watch my eyes glow; 
Peach on orange

PumKin Poem

Innocent When You Dream

FOREVER REST

Will I find one more hand hold
In the month of May?
Some will pay for just one chance
At this highest place...

Hallelujah for the way up
To the best of me
Hallelujah for the best of
For the best of me

Now I walk through the ice falls
At the beauty stare
I don't know, but can you breath...
When you have no air?

Hallelujah for the way up
To the best of me
Hallelujah for the best of
For the best of me

Now I stand at the South Col...
Just a little more
Then she calls from the distance...
No one can ignore...

Hallelujah for the way up
To the best of me
Hallelujah that the best of
Will forever rest
------------------------------------------
Inspired by the book "Into Thin Air" about the Mt. Everest disaster of 1996.


Forever Rest

I never wanted to know
I never wanted to say
I always thought I could save myself
But at the end of the day
Everything you told me...

Everything you said was true
We can be the question
We can be the question too
We can be the everything
We can be the ones who we run to, it's true

I never needed the light
I never thought I could pray
I always thought I could spare my knees
But at the end of the day...

Running from the light
Falling through the darkness
We are not alone
They are all around us...

The Everything

A happy song about growing old with the one you love...

Cartwheel Lyrics:
Skipping away over the hill
Under a gray blue sky
Hand in my hand, heart in my heart
It is no wonder why

That it's true
That I only fall for you
Don't you know that my world turns around you?

Up on the wall you've got pieces of paint
And I'm wondering what's inside
Hand in my hand and your heart in my heart
It is no wonder why

That it's true
That I only fall for you
Don't you know that my world turns around you?

Hey hey!

Here in our boat we are out on the sea
Riding the awesome waves
With your hand in my hand and your heart in my heart
I am the one you save

'Cause it's true
That I only fall for you
And I know that my world turns around you!

Hey hey!

CARTWHEEL

Cartwheel

Take me in your arms
Set me free
Hold me endlessly
You were made for me

Only hearts can see a soul
Only hearts can make you whole
Only hearts can set you free
Only yours is right for me...

Take me in your arms
Set me free
Hold me endlessly
You are part of me

Only love can conquer hate
Only love can end this fate
Only love can set you free
Only yours is right for me

Take me in your arms
Set me free
Hold me endlessly
You are part of me

Take Me

OPEN

I'm picking a rose
I'm picking for nobody else but you
I'm picking a rose just for you

I'm walking a road
I'm walking for nobody else but you
I'm walking my road just for you

'Cause my eyes they are open
Like in a dream, I can't believe what I'm seeing

I'm building a home
I'm building for nobody else but you
I'm building a home just for you

And I'm building a fire
I'm building for nobody else but you
I'm building a fire just for you

'Cause my eyes they are open
Like in a dream, I can't believe what I'm seeing

When I look at you
Beauty through and through
I don't want to close my eyes
When I look at you

I open my heart
I open for nobody else
I open my heart...

'Cause your heart it is open
Like in a dream, I can't believe what I'm seeing

Open

Hail away
All your rounds
'Cause I have my feet
On the ground

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes tonight

I am strong
And I am bold
And I will be here
When all is told

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes tonight

You'll wear the crown, you're hosting the ball
You'll turn around ahead of them all...

Hail away!
All your rounds!
And watch the night fall!

And watch the sun rise!
Let's away
For another day in the river
And through it all, we won't close our eyes
Don't close your eyes tonight

Don't Close Your Eyes

BREAK MY SILENCE

So long since I made a friend... old wounds that I have to mend
I keep waiting for the long run, inside
My faith is a glowing sun...and sometimes he’s the only one who shines
When the ice falls all around me, inside

Trapped in a little cage, I feel the motion outside
I reel that I have to be here... still...
I keep the silence... I raise my defense
And start the long run to the place I hide inside me

Then suddenly my wind begins to blow
And I can feel my senses stir in me
And all of my emotions, they confuse me
See my eyes -- they’re crying
Hear my voice -- it’s crying too
Feel my heart --it’s crying
Where is my light?

Lost in an endless maze... I hear the voices outside
I reel and I long to be there... still...

I keep the silence... I raise my defense
And start the long run to the place I hide inside me

All of my life -- never free
I wanna be there...all of my life
Yes I wanna be there, all my life
Did I...

Break my silence... and raze my defense
And start the long run from the place I hide inside me?

COFFEE SHOP

Sitting in a coffee shop
Thinking of a vibe to cop
I could imitate the one who hates
All the lies that makes us rot

Maybe I should play the clown
Or the child who wears a frown
But if I recreate my one true face
I am sure to let you down

Twenty seventh day of April
Looking at the dust on my window sill
Dreaming of the day when I can say
That my life is not a waste
Not a waste- is my life a waste?

Doctor, I don’t feel quite sane
‘Cause my head feels like a drain
Emptying my  mind of solid thoughts
They come down like drops of rain

Maybe I should have a drink
Maybe that would help me think
But if I must endure these endless waves
Then my boat will surely sink

Twenty seventh day of April
Looking at the dust on my window sill
Dreaming of the day when I can say
That my life is not a waste
Not a waste- is my life a waste?
