I’m tired of weakness
Tired of my feet of clay
I’m tired of days to come
I’m tired of yesterday
And all the worn out things that I ever said
Now it’s much too late
The words stay in my head

So the day will begin again
Take comfort from me
It’s up to you now
You’re still here and you’ll dig in again
That’s comfort to you
It’s up to you now
So pariah you’ll begin again
Take comfort from me
And I will take comfort from you

I’m tired of Facebook
Tired of my failing health
I’m tired of everyone
And that includes myself
Well being alone now
It doesn’t bother me
But not knowing if you are
That’s been hell you see

So the day will begin again
Take comfort from me
It’s up to you now
You’re still here
And you’ll dig in again
That’s comfort to you
It’s up to you now
So pariah you’ll begin again
Take comfort from me
It will take time

Don’t you worry
Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause nothing really dies
Nothing really ends

Steven and crew – simply inspiring

“Ancestral”

Reason never seems to come to guilty men
Things that meant so much mean nothing in the end
That function is dysfunction and to hide the truth
Distracted by their faith, ignoring every proof

A bicycle
A garden wall
A mother’s call
A love is born
And after all, the sleet that falls on me

In this city there are those who’d live alone
Twilight brings them from the gloom into our homes
And hiding there among the wreckage left behind
They see things that aren’t there when they close their eyes

Come back if you want to
And remember who you are
‘Cause there’s nothing here for you my dear
And everything must pass

When the world doesn’t want you
It will never tell you why
You can shut the door but you can’t ignore
The crawl of your decline

You can try if you want to
You can try…

Come child
Go back if you want to

always worth another listen LOUD! 🙂

Cut through the countries, speed through the dark
A child in a train, distressed as it departs
It’s only the start

Faded green circles rounded your wrist
Her mother is frowning, it’s something she missed
She fixes her hair

At the failing of the day she heard
Her father always say, “Remember, it’s only the start,
It’s only the start.”
When she drifted off to sleep
She had the whole world at her feet because
It’s only the start, it’s only the start
Before they fell away, it seemed to matter all the same
But it was only the start, only the start
Only the start

thursday with steven

When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months
She arrived one February morning, pale and shell shocked
From past lives I could not imagine. She was 3 years older than me but in no time we became friends

We’d listen to her mix tapes; Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil
She introduced me to her favorite books, gave me clothes and my first cigarette
Sometimes we would head down to Blackbirds Moor to watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight
She said, “The water has no memory”

For a few months everything about our lives was perfect
It was only us. We were inseparable
But gradually she passed into another distant part of my memory
Until I could no longer remember her face, her voice, even her name

We have got
We have got a perfect life

Vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, mellotron M4000, programming – Steven Wilaon / Chapman Stick and backing vocals – Nick Beggs / Fender Rhodes – Adam Holzman / Drums – Marco Minnemann / Voice – Katherine Begley.
