1.
I want to bleed into the backdrop of you And watch these lights fade into one An endless wash of color pulling me down, Folding me inside out The fog on the glass separates us I try to wipe it away, but it stays There's specks of glitter in the dew None of them are you
2.
In the Bend 03:46
Feeling this in phases now, feeling it in the bend Figures appear in tidal waves, Watched them pass through the bank Every place feels the same, And I can't escape my name Feeling us in phases now, Feeling you in the bend I'm a hallowed out bird cage, They take everything Caught in the bend, Currents take me out and in I forgot how to swim, but I'm still wading My head's underwater, but my lungs are deep To have braved this ocean, is to be our feat
3.
Loose 02:15
Perception is acute without you Existence becomes folly Bottlenecks the world When I sense your body I become loose
4.
I don't like the way that your life irks you It's not so bad to have such big shoes It is only that they have to, Be filled The distance between our hands Is my sculpture or painting Whichever one I create, It is the same, no meaning Stuck between the space of your fingers Where we traced our names Soon I'll find the tree I'll die under, Moving through the roots and water Whichever path I take, It's the same, no meaning I am losing touch, God, I miss you so much You mend your cracks in your own way, And that is ok
5.
Cauterize 05:10
We put our candles out with gasoline, We douse the flame, burn everything I get rid of all I own, Left in a room - no home The usual grief of waiting Open the window, let me see the clearing To cauterize your wounds is only to burn you To ruin a good thing To cauterize your wounds is only to burn you
6.
Lake Joy 01:56
Your feathers were ruffled and bent, The bright light deep within the center of a kid Fell dim as it rocked back and forth in the wind "You wouldn't miss me if I were gone" The stretch of your cold skin torn and spread long You hung yourself at Lake Joy on Sunday night Wish I had known your name Maybe someday I might
7.
This Machine 03:34
I wish I lived in my dreams, where I'm not colorblind And people grow like wildflowers And wake up before they die Inventing my own city, full of people with their heads down Your eyes are always fixed The medium is always missed Their candles never lit Being the ground beneath your feet, Watching the flakes of dead skin pile up And form a sheet To smother the slow burn Of this machine
8.
Couldn't hold down the drink, you spit your life all over me You exposed your leaves, letting everyone see the rotting tree The motion sickness of your first love, and hiding behind the car accident Crashed into me, stripped away my vitality The fire you spent so long afraid of, never danced inside of me - not once felt it leap Didn't come home from Savannah, left our ghost at the docks - wrote your name with the rocks The fires over us in the daylight, I felt their beam follow me, touching me, changing me You were always afraid of burning, your beauty blurred by pain The tusk you grasp for daily, evaporates to dust before settling The fire you spent so long afraid of never danced inside of me
9.
I'm learning to say goodbye I'm learning how not to hide Break you, I know I might Found you in the fountain of youth Could have drowned you, but you were too deep to find If I could melt you down, and see what colors come out and move across the ground Then I would Paint you in a landscape waving goodbye Goodbye
