Cold hands hold on as I roll the window down
Go fast down past the exit for your town
Sped into the curve as the wind came rushing in
Kept my eyes on the dividing line, grateful for the din
Somewhere in those amber lights,
You're living out your life
For so long, hours gone, relentlessly we pushed on
And held fast as weeks passed and everything went wrong
Once again the curve, and the wind that steady din
Pulled me in toward another time: the people we had been
Divided by the amber lights that you're somewhere wandering in
By the breathless, restless day
So blind to how they'll end
Somewhere in those amber lights
You're living out your life
I kept on and passed into the night
I know you're living out your life

Hey, so just lately lady, I was kinda thinking,
I won't go away mad, I'll just go away,
Mind's been astray since I played the orbit,
Left feelin sordid, my train of thought on disorder
Every time you blow your cold wind.
The drama begins, chilled down to the bone,
My outer layer's so thin
May as well be a clown without a coat
You let the sun shine but the shadows downtown
They be shady as one time
Mean I missed you and your fly home cooking
Out on the west coast, my dome was like yes no
Your shoulders too big to have elbow room
As for me, I don't sell no tunes
Can hear you scream it like hell no soon
Not that uncommon to get no love
and no lettuce for your barely hot ramen
Why you even care if I'm gone?
We had like, infinite potential, then you played me inconsequential
Inside my mental: no room for the negative
Replace it with a sedative and a pencil
See, right now my state is meditative
Situation: kill it quick, dead it, or let it live
Indecision leads to loss of time and I'm no longer afraid of direction
Which way? Whatever.
Cost is my mind travels on...
The atmosphere is caustic and overall babylon
Learn lessons on life roads, intertwining my intuition, invision with divining
Upon arriving, life seems too righty
I got less inhibition
Swear the planets realign things
Stars in the sky, literally reigniting
It all seemed too inviting
Lady, I was kinda thinking
I won't go away mad, I'll just go away
Mind's been astray since I played the orbit,
Left feelin sordid, my train of thought on disorder
So here we go again
No need to justify
It's just a clusterfuck
No need to pucker up
Just remember what you said
You remember with your heart, I remember with my head
Parting sooner than the moon
December turning red
Put the ember to the red tape
Don't wanna be stuck to nothing, just free of dead weight
I'm one of your kind
You can't stand but to speak to me with the hand
Understand, to me? You're fricking blind
You: uniquely designed, reach and refine
Now just screechin like a [-] and you need to change your pitch
Later for you in haterville, I remain humble
I'm just trying to be subtle, trying to be subtle
Off to greener pastures, other side of the fence
Just to get a taste
Hey! Don't be a stranger, hey, and don't be strange
Right, like me saying that I won't be blazed?
Like Caural, this uh, this won't be fully be laid...

A river flows between the rails, underwater
I can't hear anything but the rain
Springtime is a cruel fate
Bring out the sun, peel the sleep from my eyes
When I call you, you won't be surprised
Cause all that's been gone comes back again
Hold on tight when the wind blows, coming past
Drops of light, it's a beckoning call
Snap to life, one last time
So much beauty, not much time
So much beauty...
Summer leaves a bitter taste
Burning light, head in a blaze
Nothing comes too easily
My trickster muse, no sympathy
When I wake up for the last time I'll think so much differently
Well, I'll see you around
So much beauty and no more time
Something to remember me by...
So much
So much
So much...

High clouds recede to the place where they came
Give way to shade in the wake of a rain
Water returns to the well of its days
Roots reach beneath as the sky claims its place
Only time will know

Caural California
Recording his first music on a Casio beginning at six, Caural (born Zachary Mastoon) went on to play in multiple bands before studying jazz improvisation with avant-garde giant Anthony Braxton, Javanese Gamelan aboard Semester At Sea, and experimental music at NYU. He began fusing his disparate influences together quite literally in 1999 with what became his signature instrument: a Yamaha SU700. ... more
