LYRICS CHASING ATOMS
01 End Of Chapter One
Sadness sometimes brings
Silence into new beginnings
We’ll start slowly
End of chapter one
Isn’t the end of the book
We’re smiling quietly
Breathing without fear
This is the moment
Our hearts beat here
Whatever you think might scare me, won’t
Atomic cores, electrons, neutrons
Dancing through time and space
Things will fall right into place
End of chapter one
Isn’t the end of the book
02 Owl On My Windowsill
The owl sits on my windowsill
I live in a house that’s
On a bridge that’s
In a tent that’s
On a lake
I pet the yellow cat
And while I’m doing that
I see the things I don’t look at
The owl got me some presents
From the woods
Attractive to the eyes
And soothing to the smell
And I clap my hands to see
And I clap my hands to hear
And I clap my hands to feel
If I’m awake
Temple indicates
The side of the head
Behind the eyes
The owl sits on my windowsill
And when I want
To go down
The basement stairs
I simply turn on the light
03 Too Loud
My heart’s too loud
And I haven’t got enough tears
It’s all math and chemistry
And the word for word is word
But still it’s all a mystery
At least I guess to me
My heart’s too loud
And I haven’t got enough tears
This is something that is happening now
All warranties expired
I’ll keep this moment anyhow
No drama required
I do not know who I
Do not know where I
Do not know what
I’m doing
My heart’s too loud
And I haven’t got enough tears
Too beautiful
Too precious
Too clear
04 Grass Stained
Life owns me
My elbows are grass-stained
I got sticks in my hair
My knees are all dirty
I got bug bites everywhere
I was so confused to be part of this
I climb a pine tree
Make myself disappear
The comforting voices
Are the ones I cannot hear
I was so afraid to fall asleep
The air is too heavy
Search the maze for the prize
The night is imploding
I hope day will soon arise
I was so relieved to discover choice
The years make me younger
Life owes me
05 Waltz For Me
And she’ll create a new name for me
And all the stones and rocks
Will rest for me
And all the dandelions and snowflakes
Will dance for me
And all the blossoms and pearls
Will kiss for me
And all the thunders and storms
Will fight for me
And all the glaciers and oceans
Will move for me
And all the ants and bees
Will work for me
And all the rivers and creeks
Will flow for me
And all the rhythms and tunes
Will play for me
And all the skies and plants
Will grow for me
And all the sunsets and dawns
Will smile for me
And all the moons and seas
Will glow for me
And she’ll create a new name for me
And all the dandelions and snowflakes
Will dance for me
And all the magnetic fields
Will oscillate for me
And all the fiery hearts will burn for me
06 Tornado
You leave
I leave
We leave
There would have been
So many more words
To be written on our blanket
There would have been
So many more seeds
And hours to be planted
You leave
I leave
We leave
Love is the eye of our life’s tornado
You leave
I leave
We leave
Time is not on my side
Time is my enemy
Its agents will abandon me
And make my perfume on your pillow
Slowly fade
You leave
I leave
We leave
Love is the eye of our life’s tornado

08 Personal Politics
I burn the emperor’s paper crown
I free all monsters and beasts
I tear the cathedrals and castles down
I kiss the doubting priests
This will not be televised
This will not be shared
I paint all the billboards white
I evacuate the tower
I deorbit the satellite
I sabotage the hour
This will not be televised
This will not be shared
I blow up the abacus
I bribe the chief engineers
I remain anonymous
I dance with all errors and fears
09 Porcelain Queen
The queen was born a queen
A princess she’s never been
The map she got
It isn’t accurate
There’s too much
Sand in the hourglass
Take off your heavy ermine
The golden garments
And the crown
Slip into your heart’s treasury
One of her new strings of beads
Is made of lovely yellow stones
It’s amber
The queen was born a queen
A princess she’s never been
Take off your heavy ermine
The golden garments
And the crown
Slip into your heart’s treasury
The queen was born a queen
A princess she’s never been
There’s too much
Sand in the hourglass
Free the princess
10 Green
We weave an ocean
A gentle breeze caresses our skin
One drop that holds every other drop
One moment
We see the day fade
Obscure light caresses our skin
One ray that holds every other ray
One moment
The night draws the curtain
Darkness caresses our skin
Our love holds every love
11 Flame Retardant Heart
A heavy storm
Dashes waves over our boat
Its sails are sewed together
With thin threads of hope
Don’t delove me please don’t
My heart hurts
But I can’t replace it
I’d need a bullet-proof chest
And a flame-retardant heart
Arrows poisoned with silence
Hurt the most
I flee into the present
I flee into this here
Don’t delove me please don’t
My heart hurts
But I can’t replace it
I’d need a bullet-proof chest
And a flame-retardant heart
Arrows poisoned with silence
Hurt the most
I guess I’m not
The only lonely person here
I guess I’m not alone
