CAVE

imminent is trouble
imminent is pain
for I have this sorrow
hardship's just in vain

agile is your motto
agile is your game
(please) stay 'till tomorrow
(and) pass this realm to reign

(you) walk, creep,
hide in the cave
dance with me
(you) stalk, weep,
ride on the wave---

imminent is terror
imminent the same
(I) mistook it for an error
('nd) sadly forgot to aim

amassing the border
amassing the plane
outstretching in landslide
(the) darkness of the cave

dream the darkness will fool me
what about sane, what about sanity ?
dream the dreariness will fool me
what about real, what about reality ?

DREAM

memory restored
I live this dream
this moment is short
I just have been
been wondering why---
I believe, believe this dream
tells who, what, where I am
it tells (me) where I've been
...and and and it tells me what I am
hmmm...and it tells me what I am

reality in thought
I live this dream
demons to be fought,
I might have been
been pondering why---
I still grief, believe this dream
tells why, where, when I am
it tells (me) what I mean
<
eulogy in stone
I live this dream
unspoken the word
I just have been
been thinking of why---
I believe, believe this dream
tells who, what, where I am
it tells (me) where I've been

eulogy in water
I live this dream
drowned dressed in crimson
I might have been
been lingering why---
I still grief, believe this dream
tells why, where, when I am
it tells (me) what I mean

WATER

in thought, in mind, in water down behind
the slot, the time, the moment I will find
dark, down, deep consolidation
far, down, steep failing inclination

-- water will guide me deep
and it will let me dive, dive, dive the deep
sssst : the spell of the deep

I bought us time, the slaughter down behind
forgot onetime, the most that I will mind
: dark, down, deep : annihilation
: far, down, steep : failing levitation

et ego in arcadia vixi

it's the eyes of the dark red aphrodisiac
casting her spell on our life [ it's the dark that accumulates the spell ]
it's the wise old man in the water [ dark down behind ]
as he waves his arms as to stop me going down [ turning back, turning back, back, go back to your town ]
please surface, please surface, get away from here
(or) go further, go further, get away from here

it's the ears of the dark floor of the ocean
luring his spell on our life [ and the dark accumulated the spell ]
it's the wise old man in the water [ dark down behind ]
as the core opens and forces me inside [ turning black, turning black, turning black inside--- ]
tumble down, tumble down, tumble down from here
wasted now, wasted all, wasted all these years

sssst : turning thirty this spring

MY VIEW

[ turn your head and look behind ]
[ go ahead and get entwined ]

distant light, distant sky, the edge of the ocean
swimming in formation
heading for salvation
leave the sea, leave to flee, flee to freed emotion

CAVE (reprise)

we fought entwined, in water down behind
the squid in slime, the mollusc intertwined
dark, down, deep determination
far, down, steep found my destination

(you) walk, creep,
hide in the cave
dance with me
(you) stalk, weep,
slide on the wave---

(you) talk, sleep,
hide in the cave
dance with me
(you) walk, leap,
glide on the wave---
