Stone Father

|

He comes down from the fog filled mountains
Wielding might from holy fountains
Father of all mankind’s bloodlust
He hardens hearts and twists what’s just
He surveys all the war-torn kingdoms
As Conquered blood turns rivers crimson
Norse of the north and Khan of the east
Fighting Druantia; goddess of trees
Fight! Stone Father
It’s time to place
All swords in hearts
Fight! Stone Father
The human race
Ends where it starts
Burn the world clean
Return the world to harmony
Dominate in the name of glory
The victors get to write the story
Druantia seeks a parity
Balancing the duality
New status quo, the bloody slate
Gets wiped clean love replacing hate
Tree goddess needs no companions
Weathers mountains into canyons
Fight! Stone Father
It’s time to place
All swords in hearts
Fight! Stone Father
The human race
Ends where it starts
Burn the world clean
Return the world to harmony
Light! Earth Mother
The time and place
To heal your heart
Light! Earth Mother
The human race
Has a fresh start
Take root from seed
Druantia brings harmony

Dan’s in the Psych Ward
He says he’s really bored
They’re injecting him with Abilify
Even though he says it ain’t working that well
They won’t let him go
No no
Called him on the phone
He says they’ll let him go maybe Monday sometime
But for now
Dan’s in the Psych Ward

Little creek trickles
Carving out a mighty lake
Dying as a swamp
Time transforms this swamp
From lake corpse into forest
Decay becomes life
Tribes collect acorns
On duff near rhododendrons
Caressing eons

Vicissitudes

Gilded landscape
Of great greens and Van Gogh yellows
Heaven’s blessed honey drips
Down to bathe the world in light
Before the brand new penny
Gets the grime of night
Softly comes twilight
To mediate between Day and Night’s embassy
Changing landscape, FLAMING LANDSCAPE!
Jaundiced, then burnt by sunset
Dusk’s coal has cooled
Blue-black to black and back again
As sun wakes from slumber
To rise again
And be torn asunder
For yet another dim.

New Year's (without) Eve
04:59

New Year’s Eve
Verse 1:
Her hair is a field of wheat at sunset
She’s got a beautiful mind
Her eyes are oceans I long to drown in
Her feet are heaven on earth
Her bleeding heart is crowned with empathy
Her wit is a rose full of barbs
And garlands of perspectives she can adorn herself with and inhabit so well like a charm
Chorus:
I turned her on to heavy metal
But she preferred Ani Difranco
I learned so much
I yearned for her touch
She’s got a way about her
It’s my first year here without her
No disease I can shake out of
No sleep I can wake out of
That will bring me back to her
Verse 2:
Curves like the hills in Pennsylvania
Where her fortitude was forged
altered the course of both our lives &
Newfound attitudes were formed
She found freedom in service
And her journey took her away from me
To a life full of purpose
She made her choices with the bigger picture in mind
I was a boy that couldn’t see what was right in front of me
Chorus:
I turned her on to heavy metal
But she preferred Ani Difranco
I learned so much
I yearned for her touch
She’s got a way about her
It’s my first year here without her
No disease I can shake out of
No sleep I can wake out of
That will bring me back to her
I want to run my hands through the wheat field
Just one more time
I want to get lost in those oceans
One more time
I want to climb those hills again
And again and again and again
I guess my resolution
Is resignation
The only solution
To this stagnation
Is to move on
Easier said than done
Our time together was poetry
Though it wasn’t meant to be
And as our stories diverge
Now I’m at a loss for words

The Last Song
06:17
|
|||
This is the last song that I sing for now
But not the last song ever to be sung
Some voices are echoes and silence now
Some bells have yet to be rung
This is the last song that I sing for you
But not the last song I sing for myself
So write your own songs and sing them for you
Write them and play them yourself
This window into our worlds has curtains closing
We're going back to pure obscurity
Jamming on the same three quarters of Foxey Lady
And talking about Pink Floyd
And living life the best we can
It helps to get through this together
No happy ending
No hero's journey
No neat conclusions
Besides this song
Which means nothing
But it was fun to make
Growth or decay or both at once
Life goes on
A perpetual process including, and yet,
independent, of us.
Write your own songs and share them with the world.
I'd really love to hear them.

The Lance Daily Project Rochester, New York
I'm a musician who has collaborated with many better musicians over the years, but due to struggles with mental illness I
have devolved & decided to not release anything else to the public. This page is a document of what I created before and during my decline.
