Return
If
Possible

Indecision

Cold ashes
Dead tree
Salty tears
Lead to the sea
Cold sand
Dead crab
Deepest fears
Like climbing slab
Cold air
Dead bird
No one nears
No one heard

Eggheads, Jocks, & Cool Kids

One of these things just doesn't belong
One of these things will die alone
Everybody hurts
He's just not that into you
Playing impossible to get
Past my sell-by date
Take it has it comes
Give it back has it goes

In Thy Name

Holy wind
Holy rain
Holy smashed pumpkin on the road that could have fed the hungry
Holy earth
Holy water
Holy bridge that covers the homeless
Holy kindness
Holy graciousness
Holy sex with love and understanding
Holy time together without defining relationship
Holy sun
Holy cold
Holy sleeping bag that kept me alive
Holy sea
Holy surf
Holy water gliding
Holy seaweed
Holy hunger

Hold Back for Nothing

Some routes make me laugh
Others make me cry
The only real failure
Is when I don't even try

Surfing Blues

Everything was just going terrific
My body surfing, my mind optimistic
Now I'm loopy and don't remember the specifics
Woke up in my bed but my tooth lost in the Pacific

Soar and Snore

I killed and ate a wild boar.
See my clothes all covered in gore?
I bouldered for days, see all the skin that I tore?
I climbed 5.10 when I was only four.

Why do we always keep score?
Is it because we find life a bore?
Losers feel sore
Winners gloat and roar
Are you really hardcore?
Or are you 100% folklore?

I think I'll just keep living and talk no more.

Groovey

Lately I've been in a funky mood
Trying to find my own groove
No matter how many times I shake it
Thinking the wrong thoughts don't make it

Shut down, restart, refresh
The rock and I just gotta mesh
As I wait for my tea to steep
I realize that I've been thinking too deep

Palindromes

"A nut for a jar of tuna"

"I prefer pi"

Point of No Return

Freedom is an illusion
Naturally driven
A prisoner of this compulsion
Pressure is always there
The start has got to feel right
Hanging in the balance
I am the hunted
At peace with the consequences
Fear of danger leads to high concentration
No hesitation in this altered state
Fear transforming to calm
Pulling past the point of no return
Heightened awareness of surroundings
I go on living
As long as I have dreams
The crux is leaving the ground
