I Held Her Close to Your Flame
I would have seen you silence the echoes
I would have been there when you capture your tormentors
I wonder now, were you ever capable
Hindsight menaces my memories
You turned your pain on my lover
I just needed your decency, respect for my own
I held her close to your flame, but never again
I’m listening to your maddening deflections
You’re trapped inside your own reflection
You turned your pain on my lover
Conversing with your projection of me
You are unaware of your own solitude
The longer you try to cow my distrust
The further you obscure the elegant truth
You can’t see me; I can’t help you anymore

God Embodiment / Eroded Stone
It wasn't just that my eyes were lower, you were taller then
Piercing your subject and imprinting free
It wasn't only my loving bias, you commanded men
Feared and respected, you were God embodiment
The world beyond the mountains
The steps after the crest
I couldn’t be more afraid
I strived for half your chest
Get up old man, you’re a slovenly mess
Eroded like a stone from lethargy
You suckle poison, dwell with the dead
Get up and fight decline
Get up and thrive for us; fight with the fury your youth defined
Get up and fight decline
Get up and thrive for us if you won’t do it for yourself

The Fertile Crescent
You’re smashed from the frame, You drop from our door
I’d rather display empty space than dig anymore
I have ceased to be surprised
I won't ask again; you're free from this friend
A circle emerged but it was a false constellation
Faces fade, they're fading away
An artifact in my palm
Holding no meaning anymore
A brick begets another brick
To lay or lay waste
A brick begets another brick
Rally around a set of principles
Forging from pure materials
Now with bleach white paper, and our child to inscribe
We declare independence, new sovereignty
With the riches of history abandoned to time
We will sift through the earth
We will trust again
