ACTIVE JOY (2010)

Another day is over
Leeched and bleeding on the morrow
Do you realize?
Another year is over
Iced and barren, it's time frozen
Do you realize?

Bittersweet and providential
I'm holding on to active joy
Clutching beyond what has been given
Let it go
Let it go

Another moment leaving
Drained and distant, still receding
Do you realize?
Another memory fading
Far off now but still we're chasing
Do you realize?

Time, a speeding round in slowest motion
Muzzle flash is all I seem to know
Grasping for dry land amidst the ocean
Let it go
Let it go

Another month is waning
Ebb and flow are knives in waiting
Do you realize?
Another rusting resolution
Piled in the corner of no solutions
Do you realize?

Time's the fire in which we're burning
But can we glow amidst the flames?
With the sorrow that cannot be touched
Comes a joy that cannot be named

Yesterday is disappearing
Yet, I am tethered to its smoke
Reach for the clarity that time is smearing
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Active Joy From the album The Furious Bliss - 2010
