I will go where I will never go
weaving for the door
I slip away from it
and what was left
I like to solve and I like to save you
from the space you could not fit through
are you and open book whose pages turn when no one's looking?
don't you
see that the winds have been turning
starts are all churning
leaking the secrets
never could keep it
I will know what I will never know
leaking from your eyes
the rise of falling faith
in what was left
we get by when we go under
who's been stealing all my slumber
are you when no one's looking?
where are you when no one's looking?
don't you
see that we're all just transforming
transforming
skies are all storming
transforming
I like to wait and I like to wander
through a place where no one bothers
looking for a book to cook
looking for a dimmer nook
I like to solve and I like to savor
misbehavior that I gave you
braking through when no one's looking
I'm not a light, I'm not a savior
misbehavior
running late
for those of you
who won't stop looking
I am he who cooked the books!
I will go where I will never go
weaving for the door
I slip away from it
and what was left
we get by when we go under

Craziest Of Treats
04:00
|
|||
|
even though you lay in my bed I know
even though you lay in my bed I know
my boundaries
you found out for yourself
tell yourself it's never too late to grow
tell yourself it's never too late to grow
beneath your boundaries
wet with green and gold
missing out on the craziest of treats
the craziest of the hazy list
the lazy fist swings and swings
and falls on everything
lookin' like the fourth of July in your eyes
lookin' like the fourth of July in your eyes
i see the glittering colors all around
mortified by more of the tidal waves
mortified by more of the tidal waves
they're slipping out of me
splashing down your face
missing out on the craziest of treats
the craziest of the hazy list
the lazy fist swings and swings
and falls on everything
missing out on the craziest of treats
the craziest of the hazy list
the lazy fist swings and swings
and falls on everything
well-played fervor, running further
sneaking under
sneaking under
sick and scary estuary
metalizing, crystallizing
well-played fervor, running further
sneaking under
sneaking under
my skin

Loose Fate
04:58
|
|||
|
you belong in a song when you speak like that
woven words don't rip apart
got your stance figured out and your words fall heavy
causing bends and dents in the ground now
careful how you dish out that eye contact
plate it nicely, ration it wisely, and serve it while it's still nervous and tender
i'd rather feast on the beautiful beast that is growing
the bravest bounty in all of the county
is in my crosshairs
i can't help but stare
watch it get away
loose fate riding, riding
out from where it's hiding
please keep in the open
loose fate had me hoping
you were so spot on, at your peak like that
silver words are such an art
and the plans came about it was just too easy
causing bends and dents in the ground now
careful how you wish for that eye contact
plate it nicely, ration it wisely, and serve it while it's still nervous and tender
hey let it grow, i can show you what I have been thinking
it's bound to be crazy, forgiving, and lazy, but I still go there
still I go there
I can't help but stare
watch it get away
loose fate riding, riding
out from where it's hiding
please keep in the open
loose fate had me hoping
after the burst, i feel the loose fate riding
only the worst is worth the fight

Truest To You
02:10
|
|||
|
what became of you
now that you're off alone in your self-sustaining wilderness
blooming new
all behaviors are bad behaviors
only that which is new can ring truest to you
back with a knack for whatever
i'm so touched by the distance
truly wonderful
so moved by the motion
feel so powerful
dripping rain from a cloud
throwing flakes on the ground
hopping trains out of town
'cause fresh grounds always make it better
getting by on the pangs and poisons
getting high on the fumes of fancy future pursuits
forever after
i'm so touched by the distance
truly wonderful
so moved by the motion
feel so powerful
all decisions are bad decisions
only that which is new can ring truest to you
back with a knack for whatever

Good Sign, Bad Sign
03:27
|
|||
|
sneaky sinking cinnamon
in your plate
hope I haven't drowned out the flavors you savor
only want to spice up the day or way more
wave in another round
of soul-sip
saving the crown for the sound of sinking
joking around with the old shit, new shit
rip out another limb
it's damaged
strutting around on my one leg
cutting out taxes and repaid, well played
writing biting headlines
for bad news
it's all we really need, isn't it?
it's a shame you came for a good time
'cause you wont find much of that around here
it's a shame you came for a good sign
for a good sign is a bad sign
might martyr marmalade
spread thick
quick throw the stick, make it tick, and see it kick in
could be what we need, lead the deed in bleeding danger
like a lazy land mine
too deep
turns in its grave, misbehave and feel the shockwave
light on your shoes, who knew it would choose you
inching on the skinny lines
bad news
its all we really need, isn't it?
it's a shame you came for a good time
'cause you wont find much of that around here
it's a shame you came for a good sign
for a good sign is a bad sign
hold on, pick up the phone
maybe it's the bad news
hold on, pick up the phone
shaking in my new shoes
hold off from going home
busy bakin' bad news
trying to spice up the day or just way more
it all goes south
it's a shame you came for a good time
'cause you wont find much of that around here
it's a shame you came for a good sign
for a good sign is a bad sign

Letters To Myself
03:00
|
|||
|
I've been
writing letters to myself again
better keep up with the one that knows me best each time
a fork arrives before my eyes
what I know is that I wanted you to just agree
not sit and talk it out with me
true friends
never fear of any punishment
holding onto what aligns with all I still believe
while tending to my deepest need
and I know that I was trying to enjoy my life every single step of the way
makes sense
see we slide on strings of moments
being present is the ideal way to spend your days
not aiming for whatever pays
and I know that I will find the gold beneath my toes, not frozen and blindly prepared
who are you to heal me now
who are you to heal me now
I've been
burning candles in the basement
even though the light is dim, I still can see the page
I scratch away, the mood is great
and I know that I will seal the deal and run my mouth, on and on and on and on
I've been
writing letters to myself again
better keep up with the one that knows me best each time
a fork arrives before my eyes
what I know is that I wanted you to just agree
not sit and talk it out with me
who are you to heal me now
who are you to heal me now
who are you to heal me now
who are you to heal me now

Our Tornado
03:43
|

|
our tornado
is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing
silent eye
as the grinning and spinning and rushing and wonder awakes me
only the best things swim in spirals
only enough time to wait for the right time
wise man homesick... couldn't get much better
I see through you... even in your sweater
why don't you see... I am always dreaming
you are a world in me... and you don't even know it
you don't even know it
our tornado
is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing
your hurricane
it came and it whistled and crackled and shuffled up everything
only the best things sweep you backward
only enough space to look to the same face
wise man homesick... couldn't get much better
I see through you... even in your sweater
why don't you see... I am always dreaming
you are a world in me... and you don't even know it

Nothing Ever Happens
03:47
|
|||
|
mesmerized
trapped inside
your skin
you win
full decay
I pull away
come back
fall back
nothing ever happens without you
nothing ever happens for real
who am I to wait for a new year
where are we meant to go
look inside an open eye
calling to you
once again, you make me bend
downward, under
nothing ever happens without you
nothing ever happens for real
who am I to wait for a new year
where are we meant to go
up, up and over we flow
shoulder to shoulder we go
take me somewhere I don't know
lead me right out of this low
mesmerized
trapped inside
your skin
you win
full decay
I pull away
come back
fall back
nothing ever happens without you
nothing ever happens for real
who am I to wait for a new year
where are we meant to go
where are we meant to go
underneath the trees burning cold
up to the highest of the of the shoals
where are we meant to go

Overflowed
04:09
|
|||
|
dare to beat my appetite?
i just don't seem to discipline myself
tighten up the old belt
backlit screens scream through the dark
raised and trained, so
keep your hands to yourself
i ain't no christmas elf
working so hard and well
struggle, sit, stay, and tell
even the winds were swept to overdrive
overfolowed
filling a glass and you avert your eye
overflowed
deranged arrangements raise impatience through the ages
overflowed
dare to beat my appetite?
let me outside at night
my good-god-given right
out of mind out of sight
i sleep through the morning light
i am such an animal
i was informed to lead a normal lie
overflowed
my conscience and relentless drive
overflowed
curious passions fashioned rations bound to break
overflowed
you know the path is bad when all their eyes
overflowed
bared, and paired, and multiplied
overflowed
keeping it real but still I need to heal
overflowed
i don't seem to discipline myself
tighten up the old belt
sliding-glass doors don't help
stowaway drawers raise hell
