Paper Swallows

Catch it quick today
A flash of silver spray
Glitters on the gray
Too late, too late to say
We'll make it someday
Make it someday
Suddenly elusive
Fading with the tide
Flickering to life
Paper swallows fly
Flutter through the sky
Hit it with a bang
The subtle copper tang
A simple price to pay
Get up, get up you say
We'll try again one day
Try again one day
Suddenly elusive
Fading with the tide
Flickering to life
Paper swallows fly
Flutter through the sky
Soaring up so high
Paper swallows fly
Reflected in our eyes
Too late, too late to say
We'll make it someday
Make it someday

Burn the Night

A sweet morning ache
Let the horses kick and break
Between running wild and running free
The cold cutting air waking to be
Be strong
Amid their glassy eyes
Stay gold
It's your time
So shine bright
Like fireflies
Burn the sky
Cast your light
Reach above the din
To the stars that glow
Outside the sin
Magnetic north
Points within
Don't let 'em drag you down
Don't let 'em win
Hold fast
Among the shiny lies
Stay gold
It's your time
So shine bright
Like fireflies
Burn the sky
Cast your light
Be strong
Among the shiny lies
Stay gold along the way
It's your time
So shine bright
Like fireflies
Burn the night
Cast your light
It's your time
So blaze bright

Eighty Five
03:52
|

Seasons fade and blur
Packed in memory
Pushing back the static
Aching to be free
When it kicks
I can feel the rain
Like eighty five
In our veins
Crashing onward
Black and ragged lies
Of their hate machines
We paint the sky
With cerulean dreams
When it kicks
I can feel the rain
Like eighty five
In our veins
Crashing onward
When it kicks
I can feel the rain
Like eighty five
In our veins
Crashing onward
When it kicks
I can feel the rain on my face
Like eighty five
In our veins
Raging onward
Flash and glow

With a Breath
04:57
|

|
Reflections spread through drops of time
Darkened seasons by design
Fading scenes of years gone by
You’re not gone you’re here inside
Walk the path of blue gray grief
Passing shadows lend relief
The merry myth of stable lines
Rise and fall on cyclic tides
And I know
There’s better days
Still aching
Pulse and flow
Fell out of phase
I’m waiting
Release the shade
Flick on the blade
Better take a step
Into incipient
Cool luminesce
Break with a breath
Shatter on a dash
Anti-pattern crash
I can feel
This ringing in my ears
Conflicting phantom fears
Whisper oblivion
Lift my eyes
Up to the sky
Glimmers in the night
Restoration Light

Well crafted pop with heart. Powder Blue / Cascine Park nails everything pop music should. In a better world this would be on Top 40 radio.
