~~~ My eyes open, its another day and the pressure's weighing down on me. I'm naked sore almost happy as the music begins. Feels like five years since I've said, "I love you" running from what can hold me down. So, I left her lonely in the dark blue light of dawn. Now, I'm drinking till the moment stands alone. Its another day. Syd Barrett visions have changed for me. Its Christmas time in a haze. The sun is setting on the city, love in the neon light. You make me ache and wilt when you touch me but I will never change. Searching for love in the neon light, I hide my heart in a shadow. I'm digging a hole in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I wish you all happiness and harmony. ~~~

Aquarium 03:40
~~~ I saw you in an aquarium. Your mind on the other side. Enlightenment pulsed through your veins. A young mind open too far. Your mind an aquarium. Nothing was good enough It was never enough Nothing was good enough It was never enough. ~~~

Cul-De-Sac 04:25
~~~ A raindrop slowly slides down my windshield and I feel the hum of inspiration. Peace sits like a ghost on the edge of my mind numb as the sunrise. But why should I deny a sensation when we all someday die. I cry because the winter always follows the fall high as the first buds sprout from the trees In the heat of expectation I fell in love in a dream then awoke to find only me. I cry just before the dawn realizing this too will fade With dark eyes I see that death may not set me free. I cry because all I give will never change samsara. ~~~

~~~ It's 6:18 on monday afternoon and I finally wake up to a stormy day. Calmly laying in the gap between the future and the past. Incandescent lights sleep in this twilight foreign room gold from the setting sun comes to me in blue. Oh, the summer strange and long left me new. A single light lightly brights the room and I'm feeling not quite cold or warm but I know what's on my mind. Its you the hidden harbor. So, Im standing on the tracks. The train is heading straight at me. Mistakes I've made dark compounding thoughts release as I open all thats inside of me. Thinking for the silent flow of awe in a sea of wet smiles Shielded from the sun by the earth, I wonder if I should. Prying open to feel the love that binds us all, I'm nineteen years old with a head full of drugs I'm breaking down! Far between the seams I deem it fair to be serene. Wasting time before my prime I find Nothing. ~~~

~~~ In the dark blue light I think I fell in love. A humid dusk in a memory, simple as sleep. So, I'll say goodnight if the morning feels this good, but the dark blue light has me holding to this kiss. It was exactly how I thought it would be, so perfectly free ~~~

about

To appease my 19 year old self, Hidden Harbor is a humble attempt to bring to sound a battle of desire and inner peace through the muck of heavy emotions and a world of many fruits.
