(I) old
I found a home in the darkness, found a home in the darkness, found a in the darkness, Empty empty head a body fills a vacant bed, And the thunder rolls by, and the rains come, and the days gone and I wonder I am.
Found a place in the darkness, a home in the darkness, in the darkness, home, in the darkness.
A crowded room of passers by and in the strangers cry, and the ghosts try to hide, When the rains come, when the storms form, I wonder who I am in the darkness, Home.
(ii) deep.
Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep down down deep down digging it in the darkness, digging it deep, down deep, down, deep down digging it Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, it Deep in the darkness, digging it down, deep down, deep, down deep it
We watched an insect to the edge of it's world, a lily pad stretched over a green mirror In which the carp swirl like clouds before a storm. is the season of the rains, is incoming.
And when it came was no cover, no place to hide, Vision blurred, hard to breathe, trying hard to onto something that's real. Nothing left, nowhere to go, no road it's washed away by swollen streams, Carried off downriver with all my dreams.
Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down down deep, deep, digging it Deep in the darkness, it deep down, down, down, down digging it Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, digging it digging it, it, Deep in the darkness, it deep down, deep down, deep down, digging it.
A tethered goat bleats from the corner of the graveyard where the lizards hang motionless as the angels of stone above them, their broken wings throwing long shadows the grass where the scorpions hide. The tigers are out of jungle.
In the end I was of being asked if I could say that I was happy now, As if you me to convince you that everything's ok. Would you me back?
Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep, deep, down deep, deep digging it Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down, down, it, Deep in the darkness, digging it deep, deep down, deep, deep, it, Deep in the darkness, down, down, down, down, down, digging it.
Are you now? you keep asking, asking am I happy now? Why can't you tell me that I'm now? are you happy now? Happy now? now?
2. chocolate
The bloated corpses of unsolved murders and old revolutions, pirouette and dance amongst the swirls and eddies in their final procession down the muddy river to the delta where they're thrown up by the surf onto sterile beaches or are trapped in the roots of mangrove cathedrals of the that gather in the bay.
These are the first arrivals on this new horizon that will be coveted by strangers who will deposit themselves on these shores to build towers to the heavens. the storm will come and the rains fall and remove their dreams and hopes once again to the waters that surround them. and while they pray the frogs will chant in the darkness
A heid full of chocolate frogs, a body full of rush, a pocketful of and a skinfull of bush, An eyefull of the future and a belly of the past, how beautiful the present when you know it cannae last.
A tumblerful of voddie, two in a glass, a handful of promises, a heart full of remorse, Mindful of your manners when you're down to your knees, A heid full of frogs is all you gave to me, That's all you to me, that's all you gave to me,
A spoonful of miracles a nostril of dust a lung full of virginia the needs we have we must, A pill to put your heart right a nose out for a deal for a full of chocolate frogs what can you give to me? did you give to me? What did you to me? did you give to me?
3- at stars.
You cracked up too soon before the hit home and at the end of the joke did you notice that no-one was laughing with you. You were out on own, Waving at trains, waving at cars, waving from bars, from aeroplanes, as well be waving at stars,
You called out her name as the darkness hit home, raised up your and opened the skies till the crowd melts away, at the end of the day, you ran out of light, Praying for rain, praying for signs, for time, praying for endless night, might as well be wishing on stars
4. raingods
Empty churches, empty pews, in the subway nothing moves and the static on the radio is drowning out the sound of dancing, Empty playgrounds, empty bars, I can't remember how it was before the flood when all I had to do was recognise the love that's inside.
I gave it all, I took it back and in the end there's nothing left a shell surrounding emptiness and loneliness, a core of pain, I see my shining.
with zippo's, a tinman hides a broken heart, Raingods with zippo's, he knows the has gone that soon he'll fall apart,
So I lay me down to lie and with the rain my lullaby I drift away to sleep, leave behind a life that died, a victim of a plague of ghosts I was wrapped up in my guilt buried deep within my memories, a of self-pity that I know the rain will wash away, I sense the storm arriving.
Raingods with zippo's, a tin man rusts away and falls apart, Raingods with zippo's and all he leaves behind a bleeding heart.
(part ii) the -up call (make it happen)
In the end I found beginnings, not a vision, a up call, Raised the dead by a beating heart and at last I can see it all And my were opened to the darkness, in my hand a burning flame, A spark of life to touch the fuse and blow these away, I can it happen, if I want to, it happen, if I try, Forgive, forget, forever never means as as it does today, Make it happen, we can make it happen, we can it happen.
When I wake up, you be there? it can never be the same. If we can our lives slowly, step by step, we can be dancing in the rain, We can it happen, we can make it happen, make it happen, Forgive, forget, forever means today, make it happen, we can it happen, We can it happen, forgive, forget, forever means today, it happen.
