Grain The eyes were lies When there was no proof And I was searching through a haystack For a grain of truth Because I took the fault Without understanding I should take the grain of salt And not the pile of sand Now a storm has washed Away the pain And the memories of you With every drop of rain While ingraining me With strength anew And I'm impressed by all the things I thought I'd never do So the beach is gone now Just like the game And, as damaged as I am, At least I know my name And my sunlit soul On a course all new No more strains to go against the grain To be with you

Semi-Temporary Fulfillment You're the sunshine in my daytime You're the moonlight in my night You're the darkness in my shadows And the Spirit in my fight You're the essence of emergence When the Earth came into sight And I wonder if this feeling could be right You're the body of a fine wine You're the frisky in my cat You're the colour in my rainbow And the feather in my hat You were there among the angels When the Earth was first begat And I wonder if you feel the same as that You're the worm in my tequila You're the kettle in my drum You're the halo in my sunset And the sugar in my rum Our yesterday's have gone And now our future's just begun And I wonder if the best is yet to come

Rock Song I used to carry haematite To strengthen my resolve Wishing that this dark protector Would, at once, my problems solve But it's not about strength from without And it's not a sin to hide For there's moonstone in my pocket now My strength comes from inside I used to carry amethyst To seek the seer within But it carried me too far, too high The air was far too thin And when you can't breathe, what you conceive Becomes too hard to see But there's moonstone in my pocket now My answers come from me I used to carry lapis Thinking it could make me soar But the blue became my other name And left me wanting more While the colours thrilled, the dreams were killed In broken pyrite lines But there's moonstone in my pocket now And now my moonlight shines
