Written and performed occasionally between 2016 - 2017

lyrics

If I surrender, you wouldn't leave?
Leave me to the rip tide
haunting, hauling all that meaning over me?

If I surrender, for a change,
Will I see this hidden mosaic
Haunting, holding all that meaning under me?

The haunting riptide, the endless night:
Vast and all apart and all along

Dreaming in the ocean on my back
I'm the flea that flew beneath the acrobat
In the upside down, the stratosphere below
Vast and altogether, all alone

What I am running toward and running from:
The vastness in the shadows we become

The stratosphere awaits
All we are in flight
To race the changing day and
Catch the endless night
