touched in the head
unmade bed of songs tongueing themselves
to paper
relentless fester
where's your master
tooth picks and resin hits
hold me together
it's better to be the wind than a feather
burn down my habits
with a match stick
and enjoy the flavor
while she enjoys your neighbor
it's better to be the wind than a feather
i missed your birthday
and gifted a sin
i wont finish
without permission
if you swallow my eyes
and tell me when
we made the rules
you went and broke them
femme fatal you win
we burnt the candle out
at both ends
you wanted me to scream more often
well
this one's for you
i hope you hear me coughing

River in the Spring
03:27
|
|||
|
Tearing the days apart
filling the space
the vessel in my heart
loses the race
loss of direction in this infinite place
rising up again
a lead bard
swipe the dice from my hands
focus the lens
on the meaning of a dream
that was eating me
I split the seams
and found the dream all along was she
so long moonlit night
I feel it feeding
I must be sleeping
on the ceiling
I'm a river in the spring
and I'm swollen
well it's getting harder to breath
when you're always going
will we pay with paper
will we pay in time
a fog rolls my mind
why didn't i treat you kind

Whirlwind Wandering

Whirlwind wandering
fashioned by a million
dazzling threads
oh no we're not dead
Sometimes blown open
by this massive everything
fat shadows creep
sunny Philly's sneaky
crossword games in the AM
the answer's lost but we playing
something's there we aint seeing
23 down is attraction
can't keep it straight my marble's lost
I'm an artist dipping brushes in a fog
living on the backseat of a wrong
come on
composure now be easy
it's far to dawn
can't keep it straight
I'm in artist spilling paint
livin on the backseat
conscience be easy

Curly whirl you're a world away
some day a play write
ways a phrase
she plots my direction
letting tall hair a place to stay
Great thunder came to me
on the front porch
i kissed the sound
and sipped the rain
till cream met coffee
smooth news for Tuesday
The moment was small
not at all casual
full of bawling and calling your name
move me tomorrow
today I'm stained

Man Who Shakes Your Hand
03:54
|

|
well I think that I could be
the only one you want
the only one you need
instead I am the man
who shakes your hand
still i try to tie you to my sleave
afraid your bleeding heart babe
can't be held by a string
so i will stay
the man who shakes your hand
calm down, come down
it's nearly five in the morning
calm down come down
It's nearly five AM
and I am spent

Rounded Table
03:13
|

I bought these tape cassettes for you
so you could hear them playing those sentimental tunes
by Holly and Lennon
there's hick-ups in the engine
causing struggle in the stereo
I've been looking at it from every angle
and it doesn't matter where we end
as long as we're able
to be touching feet and playing the signals
I'm going to write a letter and sign my name
paper blue lined and written
bringing defenses to my claims
you know its okay i'm saying
i am only human
denial of existence
only causes consequenses
that build you know
I've been looking at it from every angle
and it doesn't matter where we end
as long as we're able
if we'd only meet i'd build us a rounded table
meant for honest talk and the death of denial

Wild Peaches

I need to see
the line between
you and i
bleed out the meaning
wrinkle and split
these days I spit
wishes in the sink
all over my morning
thick saliva i drip
liquidate this pit
a fuzzy love
flush robust
a pair of gloves
your steaming breath
and you're giving head
wild peaches take your time
to make your bed
Rounding love
I finally found you
lying still
moonlit and silent
enormous never
dust up on the sill
and me a ring
around a bell
all is well ends well my friends
repeat again

Red Room

Good sense with good senses
laid in caution to the branches
and so you know
in everything that i do
when a flower blooms
i'm sure it was you
and so i trace the shape of pain
my shadow's full of holes
signs of change
the truth is camping at my teeth
when I'm alone and my mouth feels so closed
why's it so easy for you
for you for you to speak
filled still with held breath
there's a room inside my head
the room's red
the room is red
why's it so easy for you
for you for you to speak
left my love in thunder
it's an echo drifting like a liar
