Before we forget.

LYRICS
In the shadow of the Law
I was laid out, I was laid out in the dust
And the darkness that I saw
Sometimes still comes between us
So I lay my head to rest
Hoping that you, hoping you will comfort me
Like a child at the breast of a mother's heartbroke sympathy

All day and into the night
I am weak of vision
Brother mercy, Father might
Pity my petition
And when I lay me down to sleep
I fill my bed with weeping
Spirit of the mustard seed
Help my unbelieving

And when I cannot see you rise
From the wreckage, from the wreckage of a perfect love
Then my mind can only cry
That believing is enough
And when I cannot hear you speak
What no one else could, no one else could say to me
Then my soul can only seek
The sound of boundless charity

All day and into the night
I am weak of vision
Brother mercy, Father might
Pity my petition
And when I lay me down to sleep
I fill my bed with weeping
Spirit of the mustard seed
Help my unbelieving


All Day And Into The Night

Track 1 on my new EP, Expire/Exhale!
Hear me, Three Person Destroyer
Meet my mother in the parlor and tell her you adore her
Firstborn, enemy of empire
Read with me the backpage news, lotteries and brushfires

Ghost that feeds the ghost within, is it a sin to not see what you see?
It must be lovely not to worry for surely you will be what you will be...

Beloved, abandon implications
That you are any more or any less than the apex of creation
Starlight coming up on the eastern seaboard
Starlight coming up on the eastern seaboard
Let it hit you right between the eyes in a city of fish and dreams

Oh look you've made a mess with your ability to guess, I'm not surprised
You got a lot to prove, but you don't have the space to move, just close your eyes

Fire for the gentle fire, am I a liar or are you afraid
Seek and maybe you shall find, but bear in mind whose hands made Rome
And whose hands tore it down, remember how the sound of stranger tongues
Made a way for stranger days and when your voice is raised then we will be one

All shall be well, all shall be well, all manner of thing shall but in the meanwhile

All shall be well, all shall be well, all manner of thing shall...

Dialogue (I-Thou)

Title track from Expire/Exhale EP

Tell me every last direction you took to get to where you are
I don't know where you wanted to be but I can tell you're pretty far
Far as me from where I used to be ascending on a swing
Flung into space, I could almost taste the beating heart of everything
The beating heart of everything
Cause baby don't you know I'm the climax of this cosmological show
Baby ain't you heard I'm the excess event the hundred and first percent
Baby can't you see I'm the breaking news that interrupts this waking dream
Darling I'm the little death, I'm the whisper that follows after the loudest breath

So open up your hands and let the sun rest in the stillness of your palms
Open up your mouth but hold off the melody of somebody else's psalm
Open up your eyes but realize they'll soon be burning as you weep
Open up the doors but not before you know I'm taking every secret you keep
I'm taking every secret you keep
Cause baby don't you know you're the climax of this cosmological show
Baby ain't you heard you're the excess event, the hundred and first percent
Darling can't you see you're the breaking news that interrupts this waking dream
Darling you're the little death, you're the whisper that follows after the loudest breath

Fling-in-a-ling yourself into outer space...

Baby don't you know, I'm the ah...
And darling can't you see, you're the ah...
Baby ain't you heard, I'm the ah...
Darling I'm the little death, I'm the, you're the, I'm the, you're the oooo...

The whisper that follows
Every secret you keep, every secret you keep
I'm the, you're the, I'm the, you're the, I'm the...

Tell me something sweet, like the deepest secrets spoken in the bleachers from one lover to another tonight
From one lover to another tonight
Speak to me in riddles of the fiddle you played while the whole world burned and swayed cause I could be the monster that you love tonight
The monster that you love tonight...
The monster that you love tonight...
The monster that you love tonight...

Expire Exhale

My chinese name means 'fastest horse in the world.'  My English name means "man of light."  Combined, this means that I am a glowing and hyperkinetic centaur.  Hope you enjoy my music!
