Dim of the Pines

 

Like Roots of Wheat Growing

I find so odd this idea to live
With your hopes on hold
The same way you hold a breath

Untold are truths
That don't need to convince
Unloved are herds
When their spirit is free

Stand by the Curb

I met a man once in a log hut
With scars on both eyes and marks from bear claws
A tall lad in a quiet and wild life
Cut and shaped to match the dim of the pines

Like he's not afraid, no
All like he's not aware of
What's like to be in the middle of
A bullseye when everything's out of control

So I said:
-Sometimes I wish to live life
In complete denial about my age
How blind I've been to trust my head over my eyes-

He said:
-William that's too much to bear with
In just one life so why would care if
You won't understand why it doesn't go the way you want

Just let it all out, I know you're asking how
Well, how would I know? Just follow the flow
And let it all out but don't ask me how
Stand by the curb, Just follow the flow

Enough with motives, enough
Oh knower of times when nowhere
Would mind like glorified
Locked up Diamonds and tokens
Let down the path, the calling
Each time you're left to wonder
"Would I be able to let it all out?"-

I said:
-Of course, but nothing can help me process
The way to react to the love to the losses
And stand so tall over my flaws in life
And I wonder what's left to hold on to
When nothing goes the way you want?

So how can I learn how to let it all out
If you don't show me how to follow the flow?
So how can I learn if I don't know how
To stand by the Curb and follow the flow?-

-Just let it all out, I know you're asking how
Well how would I know? Just follow the flow
And let it all out but don't ask me how
Stand by the curb and follow the flow-

Were We There at All?

All the time by design
You and I derail each other
To the point where all noise
Is turned down to its minimum state

And we're left with just memories
In our mind
While distance keeps settling
Between Us

And all the time apart
Remind of how we start
So tirelessly naive
So mindlessly asleep

Every time by design
You and I, we're drawn apart

And all the time apart
Remind of how we start
So tirelessly naive
So mindlessly asleep

But was I there with you?
Was the outside in bloom?
Was it sunny or cold?
Were we there at all?
