The Garden
i went to the garden
the garden of lost love
i shed tears upon those graves
and thanked what lies above
now i’m here alone again
seems like i’ve always been
every love’s an act of god
and yet some kind of sin
i went to the garden
the garden of my past
i loved every love before
though nothing seemed to last
now i’m here alone again
seems like i’ve always been
every love’s an act of god
and yet some kind of sin
i went to the garden
times’s weeds grew everywhere
still i found the headstones
and offered up a prayer
now i’m here alone again
seems like i’ve always been
every love’s an act of god
and yet some kind of sin 2x
and yet a kind of sin

The Plunge
i sped down the rapids
just barely stayed afloat
all those rocks and currents loomed
to flip my tiny boat
such a test of balance
when would descending end
it felt like a slalom course
that stretched around the bend
centrifugal the action
could i remain as one
trying to maintain a grip
the plunge so far from done
hungry hands were grasping
the keening of the hearts
down the endless slide i flew
we played our scripted parts
centrifugal the action
could i remain as one
trying to maintain a grip
the plunge so far from done
i clung through the churning
in free fall from great height
would i feel some peace again
soft harbors in the night
centrifugal the action
could i remain as one
trying to maintain a grip
the plunge so far from done

Always
i always thought we‘d make it through
i always knew i’d be with you
i always felt we’d land ok
here i stand alone today
sky above mud below
i just needed you to know
that i’ll always miss you so
life or death to let you go
i always thought we’d rise above
i always knew we had the love
i always felt the day was near
that we’d burst out in the clear
sky above mud below
i just needed you to know
that i’ll always miss you so
life or death to let you go
i always thought the fight would end
i always knew somehow we’d bend
i always thought the walls would fall
but they proved sturdy after all
sky above mud below
i just needed you to know
that i’ll always miss you so
life or death to let you go 2x

Rolling
i’m rolling down the hill
i’ll be there you know i will
you say that i’m the one
all the good times just begun
i’m walking on thin air
all that bad stuff i don’t care
when you flash that hungry look
yeah i know you wrote the book
we’re gonna find a way
we’re gonna rock all day
we’re gonna do it right
we’re gonna burn tonight
i see you in my dreams
every touch this world redeems
oh yes baby i’m your fool
take me down your special school
we’re gonna find a way
we’re gonna rock all day
we’re gonna do it right
we’re gonna burn tonight
i’m rolling down the hill
i’ll be there you know i will
you say that i’m the one
all the good times just begun
we’re gonna find a way
we’re gonna rock all day
we’re gonna do it right
we’re gonna burn tonight

Canyon
we’re both so touchy
we take offense so quick
every time the hearts connect
they just can’t seem to stick
we went down to the canyon
of course we fought again
baby that’s all we seem to do
since i can’t say when
we’re both so prideful
we both hate seeming wrong
we react with walls of words
pretending that’s what’s strong
we went down to the canyon
of course we fought again
baby that’s all we seem to do
since i can’t say when
we’re both so touchy
we take offense so quick
every time the hearts connect
they just can’t seem to stick
and we’re both prideful
we both hate seeming wrong
we react with walls of words
pretending that’s what’s strong
we went down to the canyon
of course we fought again
baby that’s all we seem to do
since i can’t say when
since i can’t say when 3X

Deep Blue Sea
when she tried to tell me
that it would be ok
i could see the glinting gun
she’d point another day
when she tried to maim me
i did not take offense
i was blinded by desire
and some say kind of dense
i’m between the devil 3x
and the deep blue sea
when she tried to teach me
that all i knew was wrong
i could see i’d lose my mind
if i stayed on too long
when she tried to budge me
i finally saw the plan
she pulled out the ties and smiled
oh baby you’re my man
i ride with the devil 3x
to the deep blue sea
i stare with the devil 3x
at the deep blue sea
when she tried to sell me
the future up ahead
i knew i had better run
or soon i’d wind up dead
when she tried to hold me
i felt the lock and key
there was just a veil before
the fall into the sea

Tussle
she wants full capitulation
she needs borders open wide
every moment glued together
always sharing what’s inside
love’s a zone of definition
we’re a locus to contest
love’s a tussle of intention
neither side can really rest
she wants more than i can handle
i need time just spent with me
every moment tied together
sounds like handcuffed misery
love’s a zone of definition
we’re a locus to contest
love’s a tussle of intention
neither side can really rest
what we want’s so clearly different
hard to see how this could last
when your hearth’s a bitter battle
soon the passion will move past
love’s a zone of definition
we’re a locus to contest
love’s a tussle of intention
neither side can really rest

Came To An End
came to an end
like all things do
now he just cries so hard
when he thinks of you
came to an end
one twist of fate
when they noticed where they were
it was much too late
he’s mourning his marriage
though there was no ring
he’s grieving his marriage
that once gave everything
came to an end
and they grew apart
her life took another turn
left alone his heart
he’s mourning his marriage
though there was no ring
he’s grieving his marriage
that once gave everything
came to an end
though the love lives on
it must take a different shape
since the old one’s gone
he’s mourning his marriage
though there was no ring
he’s grieving his marriage
that once gave everything 2X

Buttered Toast
she accused my closest friends
the ones i trusted most
they all played me for a fool
by buttering my toast
only she gave what was real
tough love she liked to boast
i just couldn’t see the truth
so spoiled by buttered toast
she alone i needed
she’d save me from the rest
was i equal to her love
she’d put me to the test 2x
i believed their crafty words
on lies i liked to coast
meanwhile i seemed weak and sick
from piles of buttered toast
she alone i needed
she’d save me from the rest
i’d have her to bail me out
how deeply i was blessed 2x
verse 1
she alone i needed
she’d save me from the rest
now we’d consummate again
past time to get undressed 2x
verse 2
she alone i needed
she’d save me from the rest
was i equal to her love
she’d put me to the test 2x

Lingering

Lingering
should be automatic
the reflex when abused
down the castle gate should fall
more contact then refused
there’s a kind of monster
must dominate or blast
why is he still lingering
still stapled to the past
somehow he stays open
a pattern learned so young
had to keep those killers close
again reviled and stung
there’s a kind of monster
must dominate or blast
why is he still lingering
still stapled to the past
suckered by compassion
cut off from his need
when will he have had enough
from karmic chains get freed
there’s a kind of monster
must dominate or blast
why is he still lingering
still stapled to the past

Alone Again
after all the drama
the stage gone finally dark
there is no one here but me
the contrast oh so stark
after all the heartache
the conflicts and the tears
there is no one left but me
just staring down the years
swept the fool debris of love
the dust at last has cleared
now i’m all alone again
yeah just like i feared
after all the madness
torn this way and that
there is no one here with me
the big horizon flat
chorus
after all the drama
the stage gone finally dark
there is no one here but me
the contrast oh so stark
chorus
after all the heartache
the conflicts and the tears
there is no one left but me
just staring down the years
swept the fool debris of love
the dust at last has cleared
now i’m all alone again
yeah just like i feared
