Shambhala Pass

If you lift my feet off this road
High enough to curve the horizon
I could see to the days up ahead
And the road behind me I've chosen
And also every path I didn't choose
Spread backwards in time and forward into
All our other futures
If my words resist as I rise
Laden with the language of these walls
We will erase all the lines on the land
And make it to archway by nightfall
The bottom of the canyon, the water's clear
And passing through the gate, the city appears
Spreading to the sky

New Eruptions

My heart is made of lava
My bones are brittle wood
Gunpowder and kerosene
Are flowing in my blood
And standing in this room
Your ghost floats through the door
And I'm a pile of ashes on the floor
I'm falling through the morning
I'm drowning in this bed
Echoes of the afternoon
Are crashing in my head
And all around this place
You're sounding off the walls
And all around my feet the ashes fall
Poison in the flower
Promise of an hour
All I can devour and then gone
And every time it rains
I'm standing in this flood
And boiling from the fire in my blood
Hurricanes and sailors
All our little failures
Falling through the water as they run
The bottom of the ocean
With every new eruption
Growing ever closer to the sun

Ascent Into Ice
03:56

You can spiral higher
You are always free
Standing at this summit
It's all down for me
Turn the face the molten earth
One step forward into fire
Or turn, stumble back again
We could be like strangers
Or a pair of frozen eyes
Staring out into the blizzard
Walking blind
Fly on down and take my hand
Am I searching empty skies?
Or blue and endless canopy of ice?
I can't hear your voice at all
Nothing echoes off this snow
Blue skies above and orange sea below
