It's impossible to put the pieces together
Starkissed sunrises break over the dewy dropskies
Magic tricks skittering through the stars 
Like sparklers on a halloween fall night
Hush in the night barefoot slippers across the roof
Slide down the banister into my mind
Is there a universe where you're in my mind
It's quiet out on the beach
Like a million miles away
Astray away from the fray over the ray away from the malaise
Waves breaking out over the cement and I'm invisible in the air
Glowing light shines like the heart of time
And I still have no answers 
No questions no talking no blue eyes in the sky
Where did you go trickling by
Like hourglass sands in the sands of time
Hotel on the beach and it's still in the air
I've been searching for that ever since
How many years has it been how many times
The moon looks down and still I cry
Through the sun its beams its rays its shine
Sunbeams glancing across the watery lake
The gods cried lots of tears to fill up these puddles
And still it was the worst murder that's ever happened in this world
Or any other world
The candy cane world or the aqua rangers world
Colors swirl and turn and swirl
Like fog in the glass a glistening mirrorworld is uncurled
And I fell into the liquid of the mirror
And into another world
Like sinking into the melted glass of the universe
The brightest light you've ever seen
Shot through like silver glistening through my eyes
The glowing air like lightning in the water
And there were bloodstains in the curtains of the universe
And you opened up the curtains
And blew my mind
White blossoms drifted onto the water as it was led to the edge of the waterfall
Over the cliff into infinity
Where was the glass the glowing orb
I looked for the light the moon the sky
And all I could do was watch the sun cry
Puddles of light across the stupefied slipstream
Melting starlight with the silent starbeams
Ice melting in the frosty glass
And suddenly it was the winter of the dream
Summer starcastles and lake limelight
You're in the spotlight and your hair dances on the wind
And I was dreaming a dream
And I was dreaming a dream
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put the pieces together again
They were torn astray
Could I be the water
Slipping down the stones of a fountain in the lobby of a restaurant
Peaceful and quiet and forever and ever
Keys tinkle like piano keys and open all the locks
That's your voice
In the morning, anytime
I slipped through the sky where the clouds would cry
Like ball lightning and hail and raindrops across the sea
A rainy window into another world
Where I'm across the sea under the sea
Splash through the surface like splashing your face in the sink
Clouds of starshine floating across my face
And I was still wondering

Let the wind whisper through the waves
And the sun drink the dew of the morning

I walk across the lake
I walk across the water
I drink the sunshine
Like liquid fire Sunny-D
The peas are growing in their rows
I walk across the lake
The power lines stretch out to civilization infinity
I walk on the water
Every raindrop melts into my heart
And there is no heart
There has never been a heart there
Just an empty cold shell semblance of a human
And I've finally figured it out
I am a facsimile of a valid person
I am a well-intended idea
With no means to fit into any of this at any time
I feel the water beneath my toes
There are sometimes waves in rivers
The downpour flows from the sky to the mountains to the river to your feet on the shore
I will just fade away
Everyone else can have everything
The red and silver ornaments glint in the window light
Angels whisper cascade illusions through the sunny clouds
Time stands still on the fountain pen
I walk on water across the lake

Was God in the sky
was god in the sky
was god in the sky 
was god in the sky
Everything became slip shining swirling turning commotion ocean
In my head and in the slipstream
Go away mind it's another olympics of quickly falling slow turning cream
The foam on the ocean spray hits you in the face and you don't know where to turn crash crash the waves come in and it's exhilaration as you hold her in the waves
Some things you do for the first time and some things you see others do and it's like learning there are alligators in China and I don't know where to begin but sometimes you feel the knives the knives like icicles in your chest in your heart and there's nothing you can do, there's simply nothing you can do
That's how it goes she said well how does it not go when the lights go out in your head and there is nothing but electric dread I came home to my sanity and all I saw was calamity and I saw disaster ahead and I wanted out to the soccer field in California where everything was crazy and I wanted out I wanted out I wanted out I wanted out
I wanted a way out I wanted a way out where was it I don't think it exists I think it's just pianos crashing in my mind until the end of time I don't know the difference between anything anymore the dishes soak in the sink like cantaloupes in the sky soak to the bottle rocket sprinkling mist were you lost in the treetops I was lost in the treetops somewhere away on an ocean away can the sirens sing once again so I can hear them and go mad I want to go out of my mind out of my mind I don't live here anymore I simply don't live here anymore 
Exhilaration jubilation rubies jewels cutlass swords the swords so sharp it's a sad day in my town it's a sad life in my town the balloons drift into the sky and then burst and then there is no answer they're just gone like 400 messages that went too late like 400 words and 400 things to say and where was the blue mysterious clay I never ever ever say anything and then I regret it it's always way too late where was Brooklyn was it in my mind swirling whirling turning time you turn back and you look around and you try to envision the look of sound the taste of time the ocean in the rush of life colors like a kaleidoscope and you were my idol for so many years I've worshipped at the altar of so many things and I just feel electricity shocking like sparks and you're in the dark and there is no reward no reward just emptiness for everything you've ever done and everything you've ever hoped and ever dreamed
It's a nightmare nightmare city and the wind whipped me and the jagged rock was on the outcrop and the castle stared at me like so many years all these years where has the sun gone where has the moon it's gone into a space whirlpool and I came out the other side into emptiness
Take 
take
take 
take 
take
take 
take
I'll give it away that's all I ever do
I've got no energy left the magnetism went out of my mind and it's just electromagnetism without the energy
The interview failed and my application for life was declined
It was denied
I don't deny anything where was the museum and where was the steeple where was the ways to have another peace of mind swirling time rip roaring electric peace of mind the rapids went over the rocks the streams the rivers and I went under the water turning turning I came up for breath thank goodness thank goodness but then it was another thousand years why the isolation why the desperation why the silence in my mind why the glowing moontime tide I really really don't want to keep going I'm just waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting until I can go it would be such a blessed relief such a blessed relief
Pinocchio changed everything the songs are in my mind in my head in my breath my soul rises and falls where is my breath where is my head where is my mind I rush into the oceantide oceantime and ocean water on feet crystal drinking sprinkling streets London was living in the rain and I was humming with the pain I like scars and cuts and when I have blood for some reason it usually feels good unless it hurts too much toast was served and I was waiting where was the shuttle to the airport where was the answer where was the silent stream it was a silent spring can this be a spring to remember again all I want is you and your pretty face it's just electromagnetism it's just true magic insanity the water was clear it was bright blue the white sand it was clear it was clear everything was clear I could see my face in the reflection and there was no wind no way to begin begin again on the doors of time where were the million ways to unwind did you linger in my soul I was lingering at the door and I wanted to cross
Quiet the mind with another ice cream she said there were a million streams I flew too close to the sun and I fell I fell down my wings melted and I'm in the mist lying in the mist
Quietude silentude paintbrushes slapping the paint so many colors thick paint flowing blankets alimony sunlight forts the doors the shackles the endless dew the life the hope the faith it's few the dusty sprinkles the moonlit Mars the drinking shaking springtime cars the summer outside the turtling rhyme the ancient drinking gurgling brook in time it's frozen in time a million years away I floated a thousand years astray years are miles and pass the whiles and where was the silent night Christmas lights whalesong I was going to sacrifice sacrifice myself the elf was on the shelf back on the stage and I was frozen where was the way I thought I saw it freshness guides you to the cherry filled meadow the berries are all around and the humming breeze and the grass and it was so nice
The clouds floated away I was underlined where was the sand where were the pancakes what was fading what was turning I was yearning I was yearning music gates music and lakes the jump was far the water I couldn't take or she couldn't take light up the room the peaceful room it was another way to be at school I was tears in rain I was stardust in the sky I was candle in a candlelight candlestick mirror and I was seeing stars I was seeing electric mirrors mirrors surrounding electric cars where was the way back where was the mist I want to drink the mist and the dew the egg smashed and everything spilled out my heart spilled out all over you all over the universe where were the million ways to get back to go back jubilant daisytime sunshine nightbeam dancing breeze in your ears and life in your eyes the window was open and the breeze from the beach whispered in

Light touches upon the keys of life in the sky
Sunlight twinkling down through the clouds like so many ripples
Light touches change the fates of the clouds 
Swirling turning like so many gods on the sea
The sea of life that stretches around
And when I woke up again I heard no sound
The mind clear the path turning
Again and again and my thirst is bursting
Sometime along the quicksand time
Someone forgot to know how to rhyme
And the fates of the keys began to slip and not chime
Chiming begins the lilting waves
The trees on the ground whisper and sway
And I couldn't hear their words
For I was in the cave
Just too far far away
And the marbles like rain fell onto the jade
The porch so green it was almost burning
The gold in your eyes was turning turning
And I felt like the sea had spilled from the sky
And the voice on the wind couldn't lie or cry
But maybe there could be a way to sigh
Or a way to begin to begin to try

Sundrops dancing upon the dew
Fairy tales dancing claiming they're new
Is anything new
Is anything okay
The look in your eyes could have led me astray
To jump off a cliff of 1000 feet
Or lay for 1000 years in the street
Things are always more than they appear
Things are so far and so near so near
Globes of glowing sprinkling spray
What was the tune that got in the way
What was the key that undid the lock
What was the time that threw off the clock
I couldn't begin to know where to begin
With the voice of sound or sky or pen
The glass shattered in order to impress you
The light of the moon was always a mess too
And was there ever a way to find out a way
Or was the breeze in the night always going to carry us astray
Your voice on the breeze drifting in through my window
The waves on the beach and you on my pillow
The leaves on the trees they know how to ache
A thousand years is a whole lot to take
A thousand moons and seas and stars
A thousand million centuries far
Far far away from the lightning game
Is there a way for your sigh to ever be the same
Is there a way to dance in the rain
The colored globes in the snow and ice
Light up like ruby in the frosty light
The way the boardwalk spoke to the ocean
And the way the sand was still without motion
Is the way the choirs sing of the silence
Between the notes of the bells there was a ringing quiet
The hum began to whisper again
The words of tongue and whisper and pen
And the persimmon tree sat gently on the hill
The wishing well was a little bit still
Light danced upon the sparkling keys
Spray trickled in drops on the breeze
The lilies were cool in the forest rain
The staircase of valentina allegra de fontaine

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
The words trickled across the moonlit stairs like the whisper of a quiet curtain, like the strokes of a god who had forgotten how to do anything but drift along and hope
It came in through the window at night and I felt such a longing were you there, were you there?
Drifting across the cement, at the place where my mind used to meet the stars
Every time I forget about forgetting the circle winds and the wishing well drips and the night is open like the endless sea
In the sea of the universe there were forgotten memories of cruising before the sun and I was left alone, alone wondering where to begin and where to continue
Everyone is caught in an endless trap of trying to prove themselves and none of us, none of us, none of us chose to be here
We were all thrust into this world without a guide and without instructions and we all just want to bathe in the cool water forever and ever
We were all put here without choice and without any explanation of what is going on and we're all expected to be all right
Will you be alright, in the whispering wind?
Or did I break you, as I break everything that is a part of myself
Will there ever be a way to travel through time
Or will we always be stuck
Wishing we could put the light back in the lamps
And the glow back in the stars

Forget all the times
I drifted into the current
And swam to Pluto
Like it was the next door neighbor's swimming pool
I no longer understand or believe any of the considerations of the other times
Can I just drift into the sky
And never ever again
Not have the ability to sigh
I'm in the silver slipstream
Of the current of life
And I'm living with the spirits
Of twin hope and desire
There was never anything that could stop the sea
Except the wall that was just out of reach
The silent sound
Of the deep sea
Surrounds the room with the movie theater
Like a couch and a pillow and a dream
I dreamed of the seven times
And the other signs
Seasons and rhythms and rhymes and lights
Let us go to the woods
Let us go to the stream
Victory is within the reach of design
There were seven stairways to the ground floor of Rome
There were seven skylights in the southern ice home
The South Pole hides the secrets of enchantment
And you took me away on a curtain of entrancement
And I have never gotten back
