Running So Constantly
02:09
|

how does it feel
in the dark
past a year
of needing something more
of understanding your
reflection, a door
ajar
speaking of youth
and how the sight blew through
was it running free
running so constantly
tired, needing to sleep now

i am more scared these days
of things i used to avoid
i am more stressed these days
i fear i’ll soon get annoyed
i’ve seen my buildings collapse
i’ve seen the structure destroyed
i am but myself
a list of many things
yet left upon the shelf
i get more drunk these days
though drinking’s less of a help
i stay inside these days
convinced that home treats me well
i know the magic’s gone,
am i missing anything else?
i am but myself
a list of many things
yet left upon the shelf

Cabin in the Woods
01:49
|

|
in my dream
i played this song outside
when it was still quite nice
temperate heat, sunshine
and soon enough
when it warmed up
i went back inside
to finish off my cup
in my mind
i knew the work was mine
that i had left for today
to finish up with time
it wasn't work
that made me feel so good
but what work ever would
a cabin in the woods

Places

a lot like the things that happen
on the days when we're alone
in the largest pool
sinking silently is a stone
in a crowded movie theatre
credits roll until all has been shown
much like the way the rain curves
on its path back home
much like the things that, all the time,
weather the storm
in a cottage-style house
the only things that matter are yours
in an older classroom
where you could smoke during lecture bore
a lot of things that hurt us
hurt us
we ignore
a lot of the reasons we give
when things fall apart
much like the way we
trace our steps back to
the start
not how it seems like
enough time so
before you arrived
then you'd go

Thumb Goes Down
03:24
|
|||
|
the seeing a face again today
it was the first time in a while
and even though it happened quickly
yes the lingering was wild
the folding of the past
into now
trembling as the thumb
goes down
the hearing a voice again today
yes it was the first time in a wild
you might have just mistaken it
though the sound traveled a mile
the knowing of old in
daylight's growl
trembling as the thumb
goes down

For You

for you
i'd give
all that i am
for you
i'd offer
an unwavering hand
for you
the love
would exist
as it can
for you
the years would stop
for you
so much and then some more
it's you that everything's for
it's you that everything's for
for you
i'd embody
the undying flame
for you
i'd always be glad
that i came
for you
the warmth
you seek
would wait
for you
the album drops
for you
so much and then
some more
it's you that everything's for
it's you that everything's for

Window to Porch

window to porch
good times of course
and the bad times do stay
but are quiet today
stand in the light
with comfort in mind
an undying display
of the balance we've saved
i guess it doesn't really matter
that much anyway
in a sadness there's life
it's quite a bit like
when the death is alive and
stirring tonight
though the bitterness fades
there's an aftertaste
when the going gets bad
it gets going away
i guess it doesn't really matter
that much anyway
when you have to
oooh when you must
when the heart is
slowly collecting rust
what i'll never remember
is by definition fleeing
it is evading something
and not necessarily leaving

Kentucky Derby Julep
02:26
|
|||
|
when thinking abt it
you get kind of nauseous
like you’re slow staring
at a glowing TV
far into the evening
past when you’d be feeling
jostling sensation
restlessness awakened
mobilizing quicky
you arise from seating
get a glass of water
parched, but not defeated
ice cubes in the center
clinging to their winter
pale, and moving headwards
kentucky derby julep
you sip through races in saturday glow
Just Joshin’ a tight first, in second who knows
when thinking about it
it falls in your stomach
like a slice of pizza
releasing you when leaving
in the tiny bathroom
adjacent to your room
epiphanic moment:
you remember power
power you are wielding
using it for seeking
something out of question
a late night suggestion
trying is a question
action is a gesture
about what was i thinking
ah yes, that tasty julep that
you sip through races in saturday glow
Just Joshin’ a tight first, in second who knows

cold-blooded old times
cold-blooded old times
cold-blooded old times
the type of memory
that turns your bones to glass
turns your bones to glass
cold-blooded old times
mother came rushing in
she said "we didn't hear a thing"
we said "we didn't hear a thing"
father left home at eight
nearly splintering the gate
cold-blooded old times
cold-blooded old times
cold-blooded old times
cold-blooded old times

Good Times That I Had
04:19
|

i can still recall
the big letdown, tremendous fall
a lingering feeling that dissolved
the fear that echoes down the hall
i then most certainly believed
that there was no way to retrieve
what must have slipped past us, it seems
what evaded either you or me
i often think that i wasted life
by making people sad
but that all of those moments
were cropped from some good times that i had
i clenched my teeth
i bit my lip, i sought retreat
i sensed the fast impending scene
i let the tidal wave eat me
oh i have found myself so nervous
as i try to relieve
a lot of deeply pent-up feelings
that, that night, would put me to sleep
i often think that i wasted life
by making people sad
but that all of those moments
were cropped from some good times that i had
i often think that i wasted life
by making myself sad
but that all of those moments
were cropped from some good times that i had

How I Love You
02:16
|

|
how i love you
densely so
it’s my special nasal Os
a certain richness of the tone
that exits powerfully and slow
how I love you,
yeah, you’ll always know
that on days it’s a mess
an apartment of unrest
I feel the love in empty chests
A trash bin used to hold the rest
How I love you,
When I show what’s not my best
Or my chambers of those
Who scraped by in years I hold
I’ve sensed the warmth, and known the cold
I drank a thousand beers alone
How I love you
As the crease within the fold
A space beneath
Area in which we keep
to our lives and what they bring
I drift off and there you’ll be
How I love you
Though I know we are distinct
