daybreak
sunlight
white wave
shoreline
high tide
high rise
from the earth to the sky
oh to see the rising tide
a mountain upon us
and smile
daybreak
white wave
canvas
blank page
no name
no face
a tasteful use of negative space

i've been walking slow, walking past
everything in the path
looking for some direction
looking for neon signs
in the woods, in the pines
anything but a reflection
it's not just a fire
sometimes it's only embers
don't wait for a cry
just listen for a whisper
rest your eyes
you can't run out of time
if you hear a clock ticking, it's only in your mind
all the clouds seem to be
not a ceiling out of reach
but a frosted over window
all the earth seems to be
is a lesson in belief
not a place to call home
forgive me, i don't know what i'm doing
i know not what i do

i've made a list of all my fears
because i've been shoveling
the same shit for years
with the pen an inch from the page
i can't seem to find the strength to write your name
i've made a list of all my faults
i'm running out of paper and feeling pretty small
so until one day when i call you out
and you hear my name from your own mouth
you won't know why
but you'll figure it out
with the pen an inch from the page
i retract the anchor from all my mistakes
on the edge of a promise i hear You whisper
it's ok to be honest

blood moon

brightest night
the clouds fail to curtain the light
blood moon in the sky
i wait for you to come
down
darkest day
the sun resides behind the shade
the breeze my only company
and i wait for you to come
down

Olivar is guitar and drums and rock n roll and sometimes sad, sometimes harsh, sometimes weird, but always hopeful.
