Compass Rose (a song),Chrissy Garcia

There's just a tiny, minor Setback in your plan
Just watch it spilling
Over your pride like sand
I don't remember a
Connection between dark and light.

A sharp-tongued comment
Bangs upon your front door
You strike a bargain
And you trade your dawn for night
Content with the moonlight
That you'll extinguish soon enough.

Minus the redemption
From your list of blessings
Smash a compass rose
Find a new direction
Dead center in the wreckage
Awaiting another crash
To finalize your plan:
Connections between dark and light.


Well, go and taste the poisoned
Medicine you make
I've lost my patience
And it's time for you to take
The burden of deceit
And bury it beneath your grave.


This compass rose
Won't point me north or south or
Where I'm meant to be.


Minus the redemption
From your list of blessings
Smash a compass rose
Find a new direction
Dead center in the wreckage
Awaiting another crash
To finalize your plan:
Connections between dark and light.

A bridge built over the sea
Won't carry out your plan.


This compass rose
Won't point me north or south or
Where I'm meant to be.


Dead center in the wreckage
Awaiting another crash
to finalize your plan:
Connections between dark and light.

It Will Not Lead You Far (a song for Jazzy),Chrissy Garcia

Somewhere in your bones You can find the words
Smothered in fantasies
Comforting lies
Leave an imprint
Upon your skin
Call them back to war
Like a sunflower
You smile and ignore
The spreading dark
I have tried to burn
The books of fairytales that have
Smeared my way.


Well, the late night stories
Built my dreams
Bring the pillars down so I may see
The imprisoned in between
A clear blue sky
Will not tempt me
I've hit the concrete
And now I am free
And walk on my own.



Onward to the brink
Of choice and fate
Where justice won't come
To stand and fight
Meaningless phrase
You speak of courage
But will not take the blame
Call them back to war
Like a sunflower
You smile and ignore
The spreading dark.



Well, the late night stories
Built my dreams
Bring the pillars down so I may see
The imprisoned in between
A clear blue sky
Will not tempt me
I've hit the concrete
And now I am free
And walk on my own
I won't settle down.


I won't settle down
Don't hush my thoughts.



Camouflage with the veil
Of shadows that is draped
Over what you thought
Was the only way.

The Sea (a song for Nupur),Chrissy Garcia

I recall a morning breeze
Racing to me
Whilst aboard a ship without a sail
And there I'd wait
For a wave
To engluf me
Into fathoms I can scarcely dream of.

Wake up
In an azure memory
Of you
Trying to find a way back home
The sun has sunk too low.

Jagged shores pretend
To accept me
Desperately searching for a whisp
Of your remains
Silence me
And reclaim me
Heart in my hand to give freely.

Wake up
In an azure memory
Of you
Trying to find a way back home
The sun has sunk too low.


Take me back to
Your beginning
And show me, tell me
Why life's designed this way
If I had power
To rewrite this
Story, I'd drain the sea
So you'd be with me
