Chrysolite

I’m all packed up to leave town
driving through the night
waiting for a glowing ruby
to turn to emerald light
It started raining rhinestones
the road is turning into pearl
it’s looking like a chance of flurries
all over the world
there’s a city with no borders and it’s tall as it is wide
after all these years still shining, i can see it in my mind
no matter where I’m coming from, there’s a gate on every side
and i know that this is just snow, but what i see is chrysolite
i’m in a cloud of diamonds,
a fog that’s held up by the breeze
it’s the shape of your breath
when you’re standing close to me
there’s a city with no borders and it’s tall as it is wide
after all these years still shining, i can see it in my mind
no matter where I’m coming from, there’s a gate on every side
and i know that this is just snow, but what i see is chrysolite
light
there’s a city with no borders and it’s tall as it is wide
made of jasper, clear as crystal, i can see it in my mind
no matter where I’m coming from, there’s a gate on every side
and i know that this is just snow, but what i see is chrysolite
light....

Tears of St Lawrence
03:55
|

he was burned to death on a gridiron for the way he saw
all the criminals whose crime is being poor and staying alive,
defied the emperor whose every word was law
the tears of st lawrence are lighting up the sky
and the jewels of cornelia are standing by her side
three days left before he died
hid everything among the crippled and the blind,
stepped right up to the judge, his hands in cuffs
said, "these are the riches of the church and you look poor to us,"
the tears of st lawrence are lighting up the sky
and the jewels of cornelia are standing by her side
saying
these are the treasures

Stardust
04:10

|

it’s part mystery, part speculation
holding on to what is true
it’s a blurry thought, some cloudy matter
stardust made of me and you
oh we’ve come so far
and oh so far to come
wait for it, close your eyes and you’ll miss it
wait for it, close your eyes and you’ll miss it
someone said silence is golden
and gold has come from way out there
looking up at big explosions
breathing in the ancient air
oh we’ve come so far
and oh so far to come
wait for it, close your eyes and you’ll miss it
wait for it, close your eyes and you’ll miss it
wait for it, if it’s dark enough you can’t miss it
wait for it, you can’t miss it

Swoon

you are in my dreams already
i’m not sure who let you in
must’ve left the window open for a breeze;
but i caught the wind
you’re coming closer but you’re still far
can we turn the meteors back to shooting stars
oh you’re calling me to love-- is that such a bad thing
oh you’re calling me to love
something about you makes me think of
things that i’ve never seen
maybe you’ve also made a vow
to never wake up without a dream
you’re coming closer but you’re still far
can we turn the meteors back to shooting stars
oh you’re calling me to love
is that such a bad thing
oh you’re calling me to love
swoon
you’re coming closer but you’re still far
can we turn the meteors back to shooting stars
oh you’re calling me to love
is that such a bad thing
oh you’re calling you're calling me
oh you're calling me to love
to love

Spark

smoke creeps under the door, doesn’t mind the mess,
it just eats up whatever it can get
smoke creeps under the door, doesn’t mind the mess,
it just eats up whatever it can get
smoke creeps under the door, doesn’t mind the mess,
it just eats up whatever it can get
smoke creeps under the door, doesn’t mind the mess,
it just eats up whatever it can get
your heart’s got a mind of it’s own it can hurt in places
you never knew you owned
your heart’s got a mind of it’s own it can hurt in places
you never knew you owned
your heart’s got a mind of it’s own,
got a wooden throne and a few matchsticks for bones
your heart’s got a mind of it’s own,
got a wooden throne and a few matchsticks for bones
and here comes the spark

Light Pollution
04:22
|
|||
i've never been to new york but i have been mugged
been stolen from while i saved up for a skyscraper love
i've never been to kansas but i've seen wild winds
been blown around been ripped up with no soft landing
light pollution has stolen the stars
venus and mars behind the headlights of cars
i've never seen the biggiest city on earth
but the density
electricity
near-sightedness is blinding me
light pollution has stolen the stars
venus and mars behind the headlights of cars
meteor showers straight ahead, scattering dreams over our beds
I miss the old dark nights of a thousand falling stars, stars, stars
looking for Orion above a glass tower,
the kids are leading picket lines to shut down the power
looking for Orion above a glass tower,
the kids are leading picket lines to shut down the power
meteor showers straight ahead, scattering dreams over our beds
I miss the old dark nights of a thousand falling stars, stars, stars
don’t stop counting them
stars stars stars
