Aegri Somnia

My world has burned to embers
My planet calls me from its grave
Come right back and sleep with us in space

Debris field tells the story
Of how they bombed and lost it all
I came upon the space where Earth once stood
Through the ages we stay
Integrated through our course entwined 

All you see is an echo of
Earth and sky and the fire above you falling free
Oh, this cannot be
It’s not the way it seems
This has to be a dream
Or I just need to sleep

All you see is an echo of
Human things like life and love
All you see is an echo of
Human beings without light or love to give you
I can't breath

Please free me
I’m shuddering awake with fresh wet tears
















Malfunctioning Sleeper

Awakening from deep sleep
I'm stranded here in my bed
A tuning out, control bleep
I’m navigating my head

Mind is terra firma bound
But I can never turn around

She invades all my dreams
Now I can’t log any Zs
Failed to maintain my earth beat
I’m running out of batteries

Now your power is all gone
And I can never turn you on

Sleep malfunction
Slumber failure
I’m one tired space sailor
















About Jane

When I cerebrate
Of worlds beyond hate
Where love is innate
Inside the thoughts
Of those who exist
And souls who subsist
On cognitive bliss
That I've forgot

I'm so proud and happy that you see what I see
And you're so connected to me

My heart doesn't stray
And It's begging for ways
To convince you to stay
Inside my mind
And it doesn't beat
For another defeat
Your words would impeach
And leave behind

I don't know what will happen if you return to me
I hope you don't ever leave

My heart can't be severed from my brain 
And that's why I cannot refrain
I can't slow down synapses firing now

I'm so proud and happy that you see what I see
And you're so connected to me
















This Machine

This machine has been shut down for ages
Buried, dormant feelings in stasis
Untold emotions in pages
Of data-stream
And secret dreams

Free yourself from the prime directive
You create a whole new objective
You will gain your own perspective
And your own course
You are more than just a sum of parts 
So let sunbeams find a way back to your heart

Understand that you are in command

As you start to recharge your center
You’re reawakening in splendor
All soul sub-routines have been rendered
Stabilized
Realize you’re not just a sum of parts
And let sunbeams find a way back to your heart
















The Magic Hour

A gradual decline
In the soft glowing sky
Beneath the luster of the atmosphere  
I’ll hear your plight
Here comes the night

And I’m beguiled by your brevity
Illuminating beauty
Of words that pour from your mouth to my ears
Into my mind

And then I start to understand
Everything that’s happening in our hands
















Dark Planet

I’m under the ocean of my mind in quiet mentation planning waves 
And under the sky there’s a desperate nighttime pervasion 
Another dark planet for you to brave

Cos’ your eyes like stars light the night sky of my mind
And your face like sun warms my heart when there’s no sunshine

Gravity only reminds me that I have no place to go but down
I’d try to reach you but I know escape velocity’s not possible
So I remain earthbound

But your molecules won’t let my mind fly apart
And your gravity keeps this love inside my heart

There’s an unseeable force that attracts the most 
Meaningful expressive perpetual material 

Your eyes like stars light the night sky of my mind
And your face like sun warms my heart when there’s no sunshine
















Plug In

When I plug in
To a connection as such powerful medicine
Escape the bitter life that aches within
Everyone’s so desperate to neutralize
And so must I
Same as you
I’m the same as you

I grow so tired
When need is dire I install another wire
Plugs into pathways that feed desire
But the installation isn’t permanent
When it’s sent to satisfy
That is why
I’m needing more
I’m always needing more

My life it feels so artificial
Modules with feeding tubes and ampules
Adapting means to become more interstitial 
Apothecaries with doses by the scruple

(And wires)

And why are yours such that I can’t live without
When I’ve been trying to pull them out
Becoming fused
And so confused
(I will try to neutralize)
















Unfreeze

In transport you feel devoid of substance
Putting a hold on your existence
And once you master reality
You don’t need to worry what to be
You’ll see and unfreeze

I long to feel the pain your love heals
Nothing can touch the way your love feels
I wait for words words you might send
I don’t yet know how the story ends
Will I see you again, again?

Staring down and pealing back the clouds
You see the ground

And once you have found your celestial bed
You won’t need to worry bout my head
And once I have mastered reality
You won’t need to worry about me
You’ll see what I see
And unfreeze
















Phase Shifter

Because the speed of thought
Exceeds the speed of sound
I can’t be told
How to behold 
What is known as now

Because the speed of time
Exceeds the speed of thought
A slight delay
Will always betray
What is known as naught

I know that you’re with me always
But we remain just slightly out of phase

















The Sky of My Mind

Up in the sky she is waving bye-bye
As her eyes reflect the sea
And down on the ground I am forever bound
Is this where I’ll always be?

She has no clue
How she
Got herself into
A decaying orbit around me

In the sky of my mind

She has no clue
How she
Got herself into
A decaying orbit around me

I stare into glowing eyes
And see a window one last time
Tears are welling up to cry
As you hold inside my mind

Sleep achievement
Slumber success
Resting in your arms in oneness
