All I Want
02:48
|

All I want
A picture I don’t understand
I shiver and call out
I cup my mouth with both my hands
All I want
Echoes beyond my demands
A whisper, a shout
Coming back to call again

Futon
04:41
|
|||
Walked out into the cold,
Store lights and dirty snow
You called up like a friendly ghost
For the futon on my floor
You touch down through the door
Dog eyes, impenetrable
You call out, you say you pave your road
And bullshit, like you’re on your own
Oh, the faith that you’re feeling free
Let it burn
There’s fire you fail to see
From out on your perch
Go and find it with your feet
Where will you go?
You’re bound to re-course when you’re running in circles
Found another place to go
Plugged it into your phone
You weave ties like silver rope
Then bark like they’re around your throat
Over and over…
Washed out of your clothes
Toothpaste and filtered smoke
You walk back into the cold
Howling and alone

Something You'd Like
05:27
|

Haughty locals
Faking forwards
Funky taste, throwing peace like coins
Crumbling seaward
With a knee jerk
What’s the rush? What the fuck is the point?
Feeling lower
Over and over
Race to the top like kids to the coins
There we dressed up the crime
Caught up in playground defiance
Oh and you know it’s all just a lie
Oh and you know it’s something you’d like
There we devoured all the vibes
Howling like dogs in the night
Oh and you know they taste just divine
Oh and you know it’s something you’d like

Holy roller for the one I love
Overflow my cup
But snakes and roses and your graceful touch it’s all
So treacherous
It’ll follow you
Like a shadow, it’ll follow you
Lately rolling in the heat of love
Oh the holy night
But stars explode in some great decay and I just
See the fading light
And it’ll follow you
Like a shadow, it’ll follow you
Gift you give me, the daily love
I’m a melting clock
But heart it beats with a double edge
Like a music box
It’ll follow you
Like a shadow, it’ll follow you
And one morning I will wake alone
With all these worldly thoughts
Pulling petals with a double edge
Singing ‘oh, forget me not’
It’ll follow you
Like a shadow, it’ll follow you

The hole in your border
The quiet reformer in your ear
It ruptures the order
That you fought
That you fought
And you can’t find the corner
The center was bound to disappear
And it’s cracking up the cover
It’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough…
Followed in
Sighted
Frightened and awake again
Open the border
With hope like the cold wind on your ears
And don’t seek no cover
It’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough…
Followed in
Sighted
Frightened and awake again

Call Out
05:34
|
|||
Oh I call out, where did it go?
The heat keeps shutting down
The pipes nearly froze
I need your warmth now even more than before
And so I call out, where did it go?
Oh I call out, I’ve seen this before
The beast in a new disguise or some wholly new form
Tried to freeze, crop, enhance, and revise
With nothing to show
And so I call out: where did it go?
Freakin’ out and I’d like to incinerate my dread
But I’ll fashion a metaphor instead
Like fastening a bomb to our bed
And grieving long before we’re even dead
I should reiterate this is all in my head
I leap from where I stand
I’m falling in, I’m falling in
Oh I call out, where did it go?
Can we keep our guard down just as before?
And the piece I puzzled out is what I’ve already known
That to freeze our form now will always fall short
Freakin’ out when I feel we are inevitably wed
To stagnate like bogs in the bed
Or reiterate like songs in my head
But here’s a more affirmative simile instead:
We’re becoming like the crash, pull, and crest
Yes I leap from where I stand
I’m falling in, I’m falling in

Bare Light
04:58
|

Leave the light on
Focus in spite of
Peachy disciples
Over-entitled
Leave the light on
Focus, rely on
Your ears, your trials
Whispers incite us
Leave the light on
Oh…
Leave the light on
Oh…
Bare light
Light, fire hangin’ on
Bare light
Wild-fire in the maw

Wild
03:14
|

Even when you’re right
I get the sticky sense
That I’ve heard this once or twice
Like evenings way back when
I stuttered on the edge
And it cut you like a knife
Heaping every fault
On silver licked defense
You open your device
But I’m feeling I can’t fold
My ticker’s making sense
And I’m putting up a fight
Evenings when I cull
My shivering defeats
They haunt me back to life
Even as I call out
For something I can’t reach
I’m burning my disguise
This healing lets me haul
My twisted figure up
To beautiful bare light
Can’t open all my folds
But I’m trying to be free
And I’m trying to be wild
Even when you’re right
I get the sticky sense
That I’ve heard this once or twice.
Keeping every voice
In tension in my head
To make this come out right.
Even when you’re right
I hold our figure up
To perilous bare light
On evenings as I hope
I want us to be free
And I want us to be wild

I could fall in love with silence
And let it conquer all the chaos I have found
I could fall in love with silence
Open up my eyes to all the space beneath the sound
I could fall in love with silence
But then who the hell would follow me down?
I have got to know, know
I could fall in love with silence
And feel the freedom of some lonely holy ground
I could fall in love with silence
But then who the hell would follow me down?
I have got to know
The chorus of your love
The chaos of your touch
The frenzy of your need
Ferocious honesty
The frothing of your cup
The flowing of your love
The pounding of your need
The danger of our leap
I could fall in love with silence

A Whisper, A Shout
02:57
|
|||
All I want
Ripples I can’t apprehend
An ocean surrounds
Crashing in time as we dance
All I want
Echoes beyond my demands
A whisper, a shout
Coming back to call again
Time pulls the tide with the moon for hands
While whispers incite my love again
Cacophony glides on ships to the sand
While whispers incite my love again
The dog howls ignite to the sky from the land
While whispers incite my love again
A pinhole of light is all god can command
While whispers incite my love again
