Fog on the Glass
03:24
|
|||
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

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

Loose
02:15
|
|||
Perception is acute without you
Existence becomes folly
Bottlenecks the world
When I sense your body
I become loose

Shoes to Fill
03:17
|
|||
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

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

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

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

Fires Over Us
04:06
|
|||
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
