The Best Day 02:19
One million angels falling softly A family Underneath the soft street light The afternoon is an embracement An old friend Laughing on the basement couch Or walks along the trail in the park Now as I walk down Parc This could be The best day I've ever had The evening's humble arrival White canvas Maybe it'll change my life Or maybe an escape from time Or send me on through to the light Either reality is fine This could be The best day I've ever had

Carpe Diem 03:13
How do you do this Find the middle of space and time Seems like a mythical state of mind The moment is a train 100 feet underground I am a tile Stuck on the wall My feet or someone carried me Via softening ground My gaze immutably down Where are the directions Find the middle of space and time What a mythical state of mind These past five minutes I haven't thought about a single thing Stuck in a white haze Just idling And the room isn't quite airtight The candle a tormented flag in the wind I am too tired to sleep Buried alive every night Surely this is how you do this How on earth Did they find the middle of space and time Alternate universe state of mind Do you think there's room For me out there Do you think they would care

Apocalypse 02:19
I slightly hate myself for reasons I can't quite place But I know they're out there, and you see them Outer space seems rather attractive At this time of year I'd like to try it for a season Give me a minute And I'll come up with something Alchemy of nothing gives nothing Siren in the distance Inaudible but you hear it Siren in the distance Implausible, how prophetic Give me a minute And I'll come up with something Alchemy of nothing gives nothing Give me a minute I'll give you something Alchemist's apocalypse of nothing

I will never see you again Does that bother you At least show me how Modern cartographers Aren't we all Perpetual motion That would be nice Although it would not get us far When you're running in quick sand Isn't A to B An interesting situation then But let's go downtown And forget our lives But of course only after 5 Leave me to wander Intrepid explorer Be brand new again Forget our lives I will never see you again Good luck out there, my friend

Hello there, again How did you find me I thought I was keeping low Indeed, rhetorical I hope it's evident The effort that I offer The energy that it takes To be a limbo half master When the bar is a tunnel Like a blizzard In June How timely of you To interrupt the momentary sojourn You are a magician With fine, fine tricks A remarkable illusion To feel like this

Sailing 03:55
Posed a question To myself Sometime ago From the ditch Honest effort How do people keep it afloat With the days disappearing Into some tall black hat The week is an era Or something as forgotten as that As that Let me get my things Now who will tell me where to begin Load it in to my own ark Filled with absolutely nothing I have been Sailing Over pavement Just to get where I am going Sailing away Away
