Late night sprinter
Winter vanisher
Precious wanderer
Sharp claw brandisher
I saw a white cat in the woods
With deep blue eyes and a mind strong and good
Say goodbye to Cecil boy
Wave goodbye to Cecil boy
Generous lover
Snow white predator
Ice cold glacier
Evergreen ascender
I saw a white cat in the woods
With deep blue eyes and a mind strong and good
Say goodbye to Cecil boy
With grace, wave goodbye to Cecil boy
You vanished into the woods
Now you're truly gone
You vanished into the woods
Now you're truly gone

Nothing Ever Lasts

Truly nothing ever lasts
Coffee on the floor mixed with the broken glass
Forest feels a sense of loss
Without her sweet Cecil warming up the moss
To grow, we must learn to trust
Trust each other blindly, this I know we must
It's the sweet little thought that made you come and touch my hand
It's the finger that pulled the trigger and killed your man
Right here, right now
Your heart, my heart
Show me something wild and real
Let my heart grow larger
Truth will be revealed
We were losing track of time in the sacred garden
Kneeling at the shrine
He clenched his hands into fists
When the fell destroyer pulled him from our midst
It's the unearthing of the ancient beating heart
It's the cost of living
It's darkness in my heart
Right here, right now
Your heart, my heart

Great White

I've been growing in different ways than you
I make my own problems
I don't need yours
Oh, if it all amounts to nothing
I hope I can still afford some kindness to my ego mind
Your pain cannot exist outside of time
Swim with me, great beast of violence
Show me those sharp teeth, that thick skin
Are you predator or are you prey?
Are you predator or are you prey?
Oh, if it all amounts to nothing
I hope I can still afford some kindness to my ego mind
Your pain cannot exist outside of time

The stranger walked on the frozen lake
The wind chimes rattled in a dissonant way
Day turned to night
The coffee got cold
The Arbor had to close
The gate latch broke
Love is real and alive
Love is real and alive
Time stood still for the ancient master
The winters slowed down
And the summers went faster
He died in his throne
Was buried in dust
His bones decomposed
His rings began to rust
And love is real and alive
Love is real and alive
The house sat alone
Constantly creaking
Devoid of any life
Any laughter or speaking
Time pays no mind
To tragedy or gladness
Them good ol' times
And the seriously bad ones
And love is real and alive
Love is real and alive
The table was set
When the dam spilled over
Now the scene remains suspended
At the bottom of the river
The doors left open
The ceramics in their cabinets
The windows latched closed
The laundry in the basket
And love is real and alive
Love is real and alive
Everything assembled
Will disintegrate to pieces
Them particles scattered
To the farthest reaches
We'll pick 'em back up
Generations later
Gently reassemble
Into something new and better
And love is real and alive
Love is real and alive
Love gives meaning to life
Love remains despite the killing hand of time
Love sustains against the brutal maw of time
Love is real and alive

Make It Make Sense

Pushing towards the middle, I'm struggling to steer
Ice covers the planet on the last day of the year
Fill up your old house with music you love to hear
Still in love with music after all these years
Make it warm
Make it sweet
Make it make sense
Make it tasty
Let us serve
Let us hold
Build a shelter from the cold
I'm singing Catch The Wind at Josh's funeral
You're sitting all alone with your glass half full
Flightless on the pasture lays the body of a dove
Nothing in this life is deserved except for love
Daily in the mirror my reflection signals olderness
I question will you love me in my escalating brokenness
I'm trying, lord, I'm trying to improve myself
At least amidst this plague I can say I'm doing well
Make it warm
Make it sweet
Make it make sense
Make it tasty
Let us serve
Let us hold
Build a shelter from the cold
Through the window
We're lookin' at the stars above
I love you more than I knew I could love
Through the window
We're lookin' at the stars above
I love you more than I knew I could love
