Elixir Vitae

Is there any air in a house of glass
for troubled times and tired self?
I can find my peace when I get to bed
But If I dreamt, it can't exist.
Something within feels like I've eaten nails.
because it's night at daytime while I'm here
Some would say it's greener if it's theirs,
but each side of the hill is grey.
Do I look stoned?
I spend too much time at home.
Elixir vitae
Trying not to be awake.
I drown out the harsh by looking down
No shoelace strewn or change in step
I sound out the noise with open eyes
Yet, I'm in a garden beside myself
Something within feels like I've eaten nails
It's day at nighttime if you're here
Some would say it's greener on your side
but I know you see only grey.
Do I look stoned?
I spend too much time at home.
Elixir vitae
Trying not to be awake.

I's Had Seen Enough

The rhythm, she cushions me
and the beat that keeps me smoothing is my kick drum
A look ahead is an end over end,
but the feet that get to moving don't get stepped on
Now that I'm happy,
I drive fast so I can start to live somewhere else sooner
My eyes are never fully open,
Like they've decided they'd seen enough
And I feel so lifted
The psilly that's in my brain
makes me nervous when I look at the world around me
Because anything I can touch and or feel
interferes with how I feel in this surrounding
Now that I'm happy,
I drive fast so I can start to live somewhere else sooner
My eyes are never fully open,
Like they've decided they'd seen enough
And I feel so lifted
Now I'm so open,
My psyche's a swinging door that lets everything pass through
And I've got courage,
But you won't see my pound on my chest to show I've got the gusto

You threw a heavy blanket on me
couldn't see through the linen but I got out
When I got back up onto my feet
Was I feeling me? Or was I somewhere else?
I feel like a smiling face
Whose only job is selling people frown
When can I relax long enough to see things through when I'm by myself?
I don't want to know
A fear of the unknown
I have awoken a sleeping beast
Who has decided to become a friend
Dressed like a giant among men
Who stand around while tooting their own horns
Perhaps a wall of confidence,
But maybe just a bit of me came out
I wish I'd seen it long ago...
I don't want to know
A fear of the unknown

A love is a curse inside your fears
Knowing someone's speaking with burning ears
And all the time, and all the talk, it deafens me more
because your house is not just a roof, a walls and floor
You look disdained,
When hope was outside this windowpane
You can't explain,
When efforts never matter that much anyway
But in my heart and in my mind
I hope you don't collapse for good this time
And after all is said and done
People you know think you're dead and gone
Would you just lay around? think of yourself?
Act high and righteous but never play what you've dealt.
They say you've only lost just when you quit
Remember when it seemed like you gave a shit?
And every day and every night when you're seeing less
Because no one stays to be impressed
Are you insane?
Hope is outside this windowpane
You can't refrain
Efforts never mattered that much anyway
But in my heart and in my mind
I hope you don't collapse for good this time
And after all is said and done
People you know think you're dead and gone
Would you just lay around? think of yourself?
Act high and righteous but never play what you've dealt.
