Patches of intent over time
This bridge is coming closer
Closer to all of this
So we think we don't know
Reach back and wrestle through
This call to understanding
I'll dig this hole in time
If you meet me at the fountain
Patches of intent over time
Lend to new beginnings
Fraction of electric light
Or a ghost you think you don't know
It's time to mind the paradigm
Left behind for us to find
Let the bind begin again
So meet me at the fountain
How'd you know that I'd be waiting for you?
All alone just me in your presence
Hello from here to your essence
In a crowd surrounded all waiting for you
How'd you know that I'd be waiting for you?

I fought sleep
my heart refused to lie to me
to get it over me
too much honesty
remember regretfully
and all my friends disagree
and we all saw the same thing
is this obvious?
is this over me?
why is forgiveness so hard?
when all is orange
washed in me
orange
I found no peace
my heart refused to lie to me
to get it over these harsh realities
if only I could leave
but I'm a fag to appease
and I woke up in the same jeans
is this obvious?
is this over me?
why is forgiveness such a wall?
when all in orange
walled in me is orange
I lost my halo
born of a psycho
that lurks now at the borders of my castle where I seek order
Oh, my love settle me
when I'm so sown of these hate seeds
is this obvious?
is this over me?
why is forgiveness so hard?
when all is orange
washed in me
orange
all is orange
washed in me
orange

Were we born to bear the weight of a capitalist?
Whose profits need to be up this season
And whose department is on the line
I'm the one he needs
To make that crucial purchase
Some people just play the bitch
I should get over it
It hurts me to see someone suffer
To watch someone wasted
To be taken advantage of
But what am I to do
The proletariat rule
Is our freedom the fuel of the great profiteer?
Whose gluttony sparks and drives us all
What does a man need?
What is the option?
A lofty utopian vision?
We could all just get over this
Let's pull on the fibers of our inheritance
And look around at what surrounds us all
What does a man need
We must not be complacent
I want to stand in agreement
And work to get over this

So it seems this just won’t come to me
A hollow hull awaits a fill
Over time and lost design
I float above what makes me whole
It’s not easy to wonder
How much time we need to take
Hold tight to your emotion
In the beauty of escape
It’s not easy to wonder
About how much time we’ll need to make
Take time to define
The other side of reaching out
Pulling as it should from the inside
To begin looking in without the doubt
It’s not easy to wonder
How much time we need to take
When you salten up yourself
Just don’t lose the things you taste
It’s not easy to wonder
How much time we’ll need to make

Melungeon

In the 1750s, Scotch-Irish settlers, following land grants from the
King of England, moved through the Appalachian Mountains and
encountered a peculiar tribe of dark-skinned, sometimes blue-eyed
people speaking Elizabethan English and calling themselves
"Portygee" or Turks. They lived in familiar wood-frame houses,
practiced metallurgy, and rang a bell for religious service. According
to one theory of their appearance, the English explorer Sir Francis
Drake, was on his way to his colony in Roanoke, Virginia, in 1586,
with 500 slaves captured from Spanish galleons. He abandoned the
slaves off the coast of North Carolina, leaving them to their fate. At
the time of their rediscovery, the Melungeons were considered
legitimate landowners, but later in the century, as their land became
more valuable, they were reclassified as "free persons of color" which
stripped them of their lands, the right to vote, to be represented in
court and to public education. To this day, the Melungeons still seek
to uncover the roots of their history.

(It comes in waves
To find high and low)
I could bless you
I can make you better
I can make you want to make you better
I could bless you
I am forever wanting to please you
(It comes in waves
To find high and low)
Perhaps a challenge
Something you could fathom
Because I only want to
Make you want to make you better
I could touch you
I am forever wanting to please you
(It comes in waves
To find high and low)
I think I should elevate you
Reinstate you
Raise the depths of my oceans
Because I don't want to leave you landlocked

I show up
Expanded and high
There in the right mind
Probably wise
I don't think that
You can feel it
Though you try
So hard to be it
I will hold no secrets
It's no secret
Go on get out
Of the kitchen
With your big head
dippin bitchin
The fork tongued in your mouth so vicious
Get your ass
On that pile of dishes
Greasy plates that feels like fishes
It's no secret
I'll float out of these hood systems and away
I try to leave this behind me
I don't think that you can feel it
Though you try so hard to be it
I will hold no secrets
It's no secret

reasons pluralized
listen to your own time
feeling all of tune
deepen all these lives
I should have known that day
but I was blind to change

In memory of family
Someone that we can’t see
Or a place that we can’t be
Tears can’t define
The things you can’t find on your way
In memory of family
Someone that we can’t see
Or a place that we can’t be
I heard an old friend say
Eternity is just a heart beat away
In memory
