Narrows

Warm Ghost Narrows Lyrics
1.G.T.W.S.

I keep dread on the brittle boats that are sinking in

The foaming mouths of oceans

It's the matter between the little ovals and circles

That are my mortar and savior

Let me live a little longer

Cause im a golden tidal wave of solutions

So we're evil

It's a rainy day

So we're even


2.I Will Return

I'm undressing cryptic words you wrote down

By a cracked window in June

Watching the street bend through the glass

Even though I would prefer you'd return

Subtle hints of you are assembling in the dark

And swimming back to me like a shark

A train rushing through a dark

Tunnel of beating hearts

Passing muscle and bone

Passing familiar faces in stone

We're curled up in the Summer's arms as we laugh

We can count on it to shed our pride

Or set us off to sea with its mast

I know you would prefer that I had returned

But who wants to wait for their ships to sail

While you watch them all gather rust

Attracted to hundreds of

Muffled sounds distorted

In the marrow of bone

In the ovaries of nebula foam

A train rushing through a dark

Tunnel of beating hearts

Passing muscle and bone

Passing familiar faces in stone


3.Once One

I left tonight like smoke through a north-faced window

into the street below

unable to shake the rub of the noises that keep me up

I'm leaving before the sun can choose to wake me up

three stars in the sky are not enough

my eyes have sought and trapped the drift in the trees I pass

and memory fades so fast

unable to shake the rub of the noises that keep me up

I'm leaving before the sun can choose to wake me up

three stars in the sky are not enough

I am a dream ~ I am a dream ~ I am a dream

I can't get home ~ can't get back home ~ can't get home

the night is systemic

a slow dance is the motor of time

and time is of memory

I am a memory myself

the mind is systemic

a vaudeville stage in the radiant sky

time is a motor

I am a motor as well

the night is systemic

when you're a somnambulist

and time is of memory

I am a memory myself


4.Myths On Rotting Ships

Lightning through the stained glass

That marbles fire across the eyelids

When a million burning questions gather

It churns out a maze of little cares

I wave to myths on rotting ships at sea

As i let them go, i breathe in deeply through the nose

A light captures the strayed mind

Inside the middle of a spiral

You say you want the root without the branches

I reply i want everything that's inside the head

I'm an animal most of the time

Instinct : why would i let it go?

I breathe in signals through the nose

I wave to myths on rotting ships at sea

As i let them go, i breathe in deeply through the nose

You can pull the wool over a lion's eyes, but it sees

Through a leak in the strands and a parting in the swaying grass

6.Inside And Out

Our eyes will never come back home

The world surrounds them like the sun surrounds the globe

A voice is speaking from the marrow of our bones

I know we can be all the rarer birds we've never known

I see a million water droplets on a window sill

I know they are outside, but they are a part of me

Individuality will slowly surface once you've said in jest to
yourself

That you've cheated yourself

All those long roads

That work us up and take the piss out of the self we leave in
the wind

All those hard knocks

That work us up and take the piss out of the self we leave in
the wind. Jah!

Two undressing figures and no matter what we do we are a part of
them

We cannot tell if we are us or them

In spending time in front of mirrors you plan and plot your
ideal destiny

But that's not everything that you want to be

Pulled from the meadow like a handful of stalks

In a place of beauty and no one else is ever there

Pulled from the canyon like obsidian and salt

For only you

And no one else is ever there when you get busy. Jah!

Full of love

When distilled down simply, no one else is ever there

Nuance of a pulse

True, it's maybe just me, but i stand by words that discharge
electric shock


7.Mariana

I am a westward vessel of undivided motion

Headed for the canyons of the modulating ocean

I will sail the narrows, pull treasure from their chambers

A prism raining atoms in strings of red and purple

A glass iris shows a shattered display

Bending rushes tumble over coral reefs and chasms

Sonar drones are braiding into words I want to tell you

Mariana's breathing, shifting currents in her darkness

Divers find me sleeping in her splatter painted shadows

Tonight the world can wait and work can go hang


8.Splay Of Road

She came from Rome she made us grow libertine settlements

The splay of road, the tooth of drone, the smudge of memory

The sharpest tongues that shave ancestral bones into the handle
of

An axe we throw into Limbo to watch the dark explode

Our egos grow aquatic clones on beaches staggering

A light bestows the reef below with clues unravelling

The water spoke : there are no gods with motives hovering

Give us an axe to throw into Limbo and watch the dark explode


9.An Absolute Light

How did I decide that I know you?

Why did I decide that I'd tell you what to do?

A song isn't over 'till its hook stops your heart

A song isn't over 'till its bullet hits the mark

How did I decide that I know you?

Why did I decide that I'd tell you what to do?

This song was made into a glowing briar of thorns

This song was made to be gathered up in your arms
