Just a single cell
Come to know thyself
I’m a cold hard floored
Low ceilinged four walls
I'm just a single cell
In a full body
In a full bodied scream
Just a single scream
In the emptiness of space
Just a single space
Between the atoms in a cell
Just a single cell
Just a single cell
Just a single cell
Just a single cell
Just a single cell
Just a single cell
Just a single cell
Just a single cell

Ask me my name
I’m not my word
Ask me my land
I’m not my birth
Ask me my breed
I am not my herd
Ask me my race
I’m not my skin
Ask me blood
I’m not my kin
Ask me crime
I am not my sin
Shapeless formless be as water
Shapeless formless just as water
I take the shape of my container
Ask me my creed
I’m not my faith
Ask me my culture
I’m not my taste
Ask me my poison
I am not my waste
Ask me my gender
I’m not my sex
Ask me my measure
I’m not my test
Ask me my errors
I am not my wrecks
Shapeless formless be as water
Shapeless formless just as water
I take the shape of my container
Ask me my say
I’m not my voice
Ask me my vote
I’m not my choice
Ask me my fight
I am not my cause
Ask me my lord
I’m not my boss
Ask me my strength
I’m not my force
Ask me my pain
I am not my loss
Shapeless formless be as water
Shapeless formless just as water
I take the shape of my container

Look in the mirror
Into those eyes
Try to see
Through that disguise
Of all the faces they wear
Which one is I
Is I just one or more
The part of me
That wants to be known
By everyone
Needs to be shown
The part of me that needs
To be left unknown
I’m not just one, i’m more
Look in your mirror
Into these eyes
Try to see
Through this disguise
Of all the faces i wear
Which one am i
Am i just one or more
I’ve got this sinking feeling
But it’s okay
I’ve got this big idea
But it’s okay
I can hold these many truths
All at once
I’m not just one, i’m more
I do contain multitudes
You too contain multitudes
We’re not one
We’re more

Fresh as a wish
Wet as a kiss
Here’s my little song
Goes something like this
Some dreams don’t come true
Some dreams just come through
The night and are gone
As quickly as the dawn
Heard but unheeded
Offered but unneeded
This song in the night
Now superseded
Shine sun down
Blind fun town
Winding run around
Mind unsound
God this night is so long
I’ve forgotten which side i’m on
How am i supposed to feel
What is even real
As every night falls
So every morning breaks
Some dreams don’t come true
Some dreams just come through
The night and are gone
As quickly as the dawn
I don’t know which
One of me is singing this
Wearing some face
I don’t know
I will concede
You took a part of me
But it’s nothing
Won’t grow back again
Some dreams don’t come true
Some dreams just come through
The night and are gone
As quickly as the dawn

Expressway II

There is just one now
Out of time and out of space
Whenever you hear this it will be now
Out of line and out of place
Yesterday can wait
Tomorrow will never know
At ground zero
You gotta go
Gotta stop waiting for the right time
Time is already clapping
Don’t assume the position
Somewhere between the thought and the action
Time is already clapping
And nothing comes out of nothing
There’s always something
When you don’t know anything about anything
But you always thought you did
At least that’s something
So first things first
Step by step
Just take the one
Waves of light, or particles of light, I love the light shining on me
One flash of light, can’t get enough light, keep keep keeping me light on my feet
Here in the spotlight
Here in the hot light
Here in the bright light
Here in the white light
The light is on
Forget yourself
With the torchlight on
I forget myself
Do what you can with what you have right now
Echo echo
Yesterday we’ll remember
Echo echo
Tomorrow we forgot
I’ll take the shape that I’ll become
I’ll take the shape that I’ll become
I do contain multitudes
You too contain multitudes
We’re not one
We’re more
Asleep so long
The show goes on
On the expressway
Coming home
I’m coming home

Reality Check

Clear eyed beneath a furrowed brow
A belly full an empty bowel
Even after I’ve flown the coop
You dear listener complete the loop
Now it’s over I’m done
What’s been and never been, they’re one
Yet around and around it goes
All creation as if real
A visitor just passing through
Not gone just transformed into…
“Where do I…?”
