lyrics

When you wish upon a star
in late night reveries,
others are wishing too,
on your star,
but don’t feel down,
the dream you’ve bound to future memories
are still unfolding child,
the stars they are connecting all of you
to an immovable
luminous
truth,
feel your coming youth.

The crickets pulse
the night wakes up
a child in it’s eyes, looking skyward.
to Dahn
the infinite on wishing lips
he wispers to the spark
“let it bind me,
and i’ll go blindly stepping into the dark.


The pinprick in the velvet sends
a dreaming ray of light
to his bedroom, the boy in my life.
The curtains part
his hairs stand up
the windows open wide lets the breeze in
as he’s sleeping
the boy goes off
floating into the night.
magically, absurdly,

Orion!

Waking.
Where am I where's my bed?
A needle's point
is poised
above my arm again
Feeling.
Like I've done something wrong.
Yet I feel strangely proud,
as my head it starts
to fog.
Facing.
A face I thought I knew,
but it's empty,
of the hearth
behind its eyes of blue.
Strapped up.
As the walls they peel away,
I'm high above the world I love,
the friends I've left
are saved from me.
be.
