Story behind No Shadows

Do you ever feel that every person you see on the street is feeling the electricity of being alive the same way you are? That lust is a source of joy in life and that the air sometimes crackles with it to the point where everything becomes clear and connected, devoid of illusion and filled with expectation and celebration of just being alive? Well there ya go. I'm indebted to Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials series for the idea of taking the kingdom of heaven and turning into a republic.


No Shadows

Sometimes when I'm thinking I know that I'm thinking too much
So I head out to find some connection to things that I trust
I turn off the voice in the movie that's telling the tale
I silence the static and open myself to what's real

But it's not heaven that I'm looking for
I know that what we have right here is worth more

With no shadows on my eyes, I come to you
Moving closer to your light, closer
With no shackles on my mind, I move with you
Moving closer to your light, closer…

Sparks fly between every body that moves through the street
Between every ravenous glance from the strangers we meet
We all have the yearning, the longing the need for the touch
We all want to be part of something that's bigger than us

But if it's heaven that you're holding dear
Look into their eyes and find it, right here

With no shadows on my eyes, I come to you
Moving closer to your light, closer
With no shackles on my mind, I move with you
Moving closer to your light, closer…

When I'm out all my senses are struck with desire
My ear to the ground hears it humming like power in the wires
The flash in your smile is electric as neon at night
We move like we're dancing surrounded by halos of light

And if it's heaven that you're wanting now
You and I will have to build it, somehow

With no shadows on my eyes, I come to you
Moving closer to your light, closer
With no shackles on my mind, I move in you
Moving closer to your light, closer…
