Are You Afraid?
04:37
|
|||
|
I came quietly with my hands up
You said you’d meet me just because
Never felt anything
Like this adrenaline
Sixth sense is peaking all the time
To feel your body touching mine
Tell me you need a friend
You turn to leave again
Look it in the eye
Are you afraid to need me?
Bite it back before you have to name the feeling
Sympathetic motion, simple mirror walking
Let your body wander, let your heart keep talking
I just don’t get your take on love
My mind can’t stop my careless tongue
I have to taste it
Burnt bitter cigarette
Winter solstice acrobatics
Come on meet me where I’m at
Fade out the intimate
Your lovely sedative
Look it in the eye
Are you afraid to need me?
Bite it back before you have to name the feeling
Sympathetic motion, simple mirror walking
Let your body wander, let your heart keep talking
Haven’t let yourself set it aside
Maybe nothing is as simple
As the two of us letting it die
Watch you walk away too many times
Swaying side to side
Turn around and tell me you’re fine
Look it in the eye
Are you afraid to need me?
Bite it back before you have to name the feeling
Sympathetic motion, simple mirror walking
Let your body wander, let your heart keep talking

IRLYWNTU
03:59
|
|||
|
You whisper kisses, sugar-tipped
My answer’s always the same.
Shifting shape and color
Swallowed by some sediment rain.
I learned the hard way to lose
Tonight I will be choosing you
‘Cause I really want you (to know)
Leave me segmented
Excessively requesting your calls.
Peel me off the floor-
I melted here before you took off.
I’ve learned the hard way to lose.
Now there’s not way that I’m losing you.
‘Cause I really want you to know
That I really want you tonight.
I really want you to know
That I really want you tonight.
Could this obsession be a lesson?
One to make me think?
Well, I’ve barely even noticed
Anything else around me.
I really want you to know
(I really want you (x3))
That I really want you tonight.
(I really want you (x3))

The Seal Is Broken
03:42
|
|||
|
I want you to know that I don’t
Take shit from nobody, no more.
All my creature comforts leave me once
I take a step out my front door.
I wish I could tell you everything
That I’m thinking about.
But what if then the seal is broken?
See me different- freak you the fuck out.
But you don’t see it that way.
You give me some space.
You don’t see it that way,
You keep that smiling face.
Christening the coffee filter,
Muddy like the slush on the turnpike.
Eggs are over easy, sitting,
Soaking yolk while watching the sunrise.
I wish I could dig in, really see it through your green eyes
But what if then the seal is broken
Mystery no longer a surprise?
But you don’t see it that way.
You give me some space.
You don’t see it that way,
You keep that smiling face.

Nineveh, IN
03:43
|
|||
|
Swinging through our conversations
Widowed convent expectations
Shadows dance in sacred sunbeams
Like we dance between our seams
Blissful like the early years
Before the blood, before the tears
Whistled through the bark and shrine
Growth and pain both come with time.
Apathy and mitigation
Solo cups outside Penn Station
Carefully untie your shoes
Take them off and cut me loose.
I showed up to bring the good news
By that I mean I came to keep you
Tucked beside me here tonight
To build my faith and break my spine.

Heaven Knows
03:31
|
|||
|
Mow the lawn on a Sunday
Run the sprinklers for the kids
Then I’m gone on a Monday
Who knows if they exist?
Heaven knows
That I’m not coming in.
Got my notes and my briefcase
This is where I’m gonna live
The pattern I retrace
Is all that there is.
Heaven Knows
That I’m not coming in.
Heaven knows
That I’m not coming in.

I Sing Myself
04:36
|
|||
|
I sing myself ‘cause it’s the only song that I know
I puff up my chest so that maybe I can float
But when I open my mouth, I forget every note
The sound that comes out won't put me back on the boat.
I flip a coin for all decisions that I make
So half of the time I can avoid my mistakes
At the time that I die all blame will lay on the fates
So I won't have to account for the bad choices I’ve made.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I need a little more kick than Tylenol
An open suggestion to the faces on the walls
‘Cause I don’t want to feel a single thing at all
So I feel at peace when gravity does its job.
I’ve sung myself but I forget now how it goes
I hold my breath when I recall a few notes
I’ll try to sing again and hope the language flows
Every now and then it gets stuck in my throat.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
So clearly.

Letters In Glass
03:19
|
|||
|
Hide a message in a bottle
And send it afloat
So if you ever get this letter
And read it you will know
That I’ve been missing your smile
I haven’t seen it in a while.
Found a green glass in a car door
Buried in the dirt
The imprints on the sand's translucent flesh
Were its last remaining words
It said: “I’ve been missing for a while
Guess I wasn't there to make you smile."
He said "I've been stuck here for a while
I used to make everyone smile.
But that was long ago”
With the odds against my favor
That you’ll ever read these words
I’ll manifest these prayers
And hope that you have heard
That I’ve been missing your smile
I haven’t seen it in a while.

Heartache was a man
Who waited for the light.
You wanna make me mad,
Well, it’s not too late to try.
Hardened like a nail
bent over on its side
The shadows that it casts
Are the only things in sight.
A dream that we all have
The things we keep inside
Push us all away
Into separate little lives.
So keep your secrets clean
And keep your allies tied
You wanna see me sad,
Well, it’s too late to say goodnight.

Original Thought
05:11
|
|||
|
Whatever you’re thinking at the time
It’ll be alright
Maybe the meaning will follow the words
And the sounds you like
I’m putting the feeling on the line
It’s totally fine
Maybe the day can still be saved
In the dying light
Marching along
Foot after foot
Original thought
Ripped from a book
Mapping the route
Follow the path
Staking my claim
Hope it will last
Nothing new left
under the sun
Nothing to say
that hasn’t been sung
Throwing my lots
Up on the wall
But nothing stains
These pillars of salt
Whatever you’re thinking at the time
It’ll be alright
Maybe the meaning will follow the words
And the sounds you like
I’m putting the feeling on the line
It’s totally fine
Maybe the day can still be saved
In the dying light
At least this way, I’ll keep it alive
For another time
