Shooting (new song)

Soldiers at the borderline
Guns pointing at the moon
Body reflective,
show up my fear
to shoot
for you

Fodder for the lightfire
Gather your bodies around
Breathe me brighter
Blow, bellows
Help me grow
Help me glow

This song wouldn't exist without the fight
It's a plea
Make peace with the weak
& maybe, if the moon can't be reached,

I'll fall among the shooting stars
& sing of fire
& sing of the war
of desire

Gather your bodies around
Dancing flame,
I'll give you sound

& the shape will come
& the shape will come
& the shape will come
as I awake

Wake me

Barro (¡nueva canción!)

Soy barro
no formado
esperando al torno
mirando a las formas alrededor

No soy bueno, ni malo
Escucho a las voces
emanando de las vasijas alrededor

No soy nada, pero algo
y en algo he fallado
Sólo lo rígido se puede romper

Sin meter las manos
no sucede el trabajo
que la materia puede merecer

Estoy dispuesto, me pregunto,
a coger un color,
a tomar una forma que se puede romper

Cuando se va el água
lo que deja queda
Ya no es barro

Claimed Again (New Song!)

Falling backwards off the roof of your house,
The body reborn in a new, bloody form
I can't help but laugh & cry

Losing vision, freefall in the nowhere land
This is as close to death as I've been
Now I don't need to figure out that nothing belongs to me

No house, no body, no one
Wonderful darkness, timelessness
Ridiculous to think
Just witnessing the rich unfolding
I have been claimed again

as one of the vibrant, fragile specks in the kaleidoscope
O, great hands, keep a-turning
I heard the silence you spoke

Losing balance when my string was cut
Re-done, redeemed, reset
Give me a laugh & a drop of life
I will give you all I've got

No house, no body, no one
Wonderful darkness, timelessness
Ridiculous to think
Just witnessing the rich unfolding
I have been claimed again

But on two legs, I feel I'm strong
& in my mind, I am someone
It just takes a fall to drop it all

I walk through the box I build with thoughts
Alive with maybes & maybe nots
There's no way to tell what is real

& in my life, I have a house
I have a body & a sense of self
But the darkness will come & undress me again

& I will be claimed again
