Ghost Water

In the middle of the land far away from the tides
The waters disappeared from the reservoir
There’s a body in the barrel, warships in the mud
Skeletons of trees and weeping hunger stones
There’s ghosts in the water
Ghosts in the water
Ghosts in the water
They’ll tell you their secrets
If you listen for a while
All along the coasts, the water’s creeping in
Seeping through the seawalls, breaking levees and dams
Artificial land shifts beneath dream homes
Long-buried streams return to their ancestral flow
Like ghosts of the water
Ghosts of the water
Ghosts of the water
They’ll tell you their secrets
If you listen for a while
The barons of the sea, deep beneath the waves
Mine the ocean floor, like robbers from a grave
The blue whale’s gone quiet, they won’t sing their song
Patiently waiting for their time to come
Like ghosts in the water
Ghosts in the water
Like ghosts in the water
They’ll tell you their secrets
If you listen for a while
Frozen in time, ancient unknowns
Ice begins to melt, hear it creek and moan
Long forgotten fears, emerge from the cracks
Revived in a world, to bring balance back
Yes, there’s ghosts in the water
There’s ghosts in the water
There’s ghosts in the water
They’ll tell you their secrets
If you listen for a while

Lost In the Trees

In the jungle at midnight
The frogs in the trees
No sense of direction
Am I awake or’s this a dream?
I was searching for gold
When I strayed from the path
Now my compass is broken
And I’ve lost my map
Moonlight trickles through the canopy
A distant howl, I get weak in the knees
What’s that sound? Who could it be?
Something in the darkness is hunting me
Now I’m lost…
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Call in a rescue
Send in the hounds
Shoulder to shoulder
Kicking for bones on the ground
I’m an unusual suspect
I’ll give you the slip
A trail of false leads
I’m a master of the grift
Tip toe through the woods
I never make sound
Check the forensics
No evidence was found
It was just an illusion
A ghost in the machine
But it’s hard to see the forrest
For all of the trees
‘Cause I’m lost…
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
What about this…
Listen, listen, listen
Don’t make a sound
Don’t move
Be Still
Don’t do
Anything
Yes, there it is
I was looking for proof
I was looking for facts
I was looking for someone
To have my back
A belief in the holy
A sense of divine
A friend in the struggle
One day at time
The further that I reach
The more it slips away
I’m a man of conviction
But I’m losing my faith
Is it my animal instinct?
The will to survive?
An necessary fiction
Roaming through my mind?
‘Cause I’m lost…
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
Lost In the Trees
