what could i say to you right now
to try to get through somehow
ain't no benefit to your doubts
but maybe that's your way out

she parked the car in the field by the middle school
and we met her there by the old swimming pool
i cannot quantify just how i feel
when she won't tell me the deal
seems like it's on
we better go
i've heard that sound before
keeping up with conditional tendencies
when you never say what you really mean
how many times have we come this far
just to give it up? even if you are
ready to tackle this
your paradigm shifted a little bit
hellish times inside a bubble in the night
heaven's gate is opening up wide
hellish times inside a bubble in the night
heaven's gate is opening up wide

dinghy

i washed up on the beach
and there were starfish surrounding me
they couldn’t talk
or ask about my day
but we were friends anyway
and we built a little dinghy
and pushed it out to the sea
there was a point in my life
where i could’ve gotten on that boat
but now i’d rather never know

for the first time
in a long time
i waited so long
but i’ve had my fill
the picture ain’t right
the whites are dissolved over
creating a halo around the frame
well where have you been?
and what did you do?
give me one good reason
not to put this on you
i sleep through the night
and everything’s fine
til i get water in my eyes
from here on out
i am here right now
from here on out
i am here right now

glide reflection

for a while, when i had a stress dream i’d get deadnamed
cause i still had shit to work through in my brain
i was sick from all the wounds i left untended
all these tattered garments that i could never mend
wasn’t hard-pressed to make another copy
when the meter was dipping in the red
so i unclipped my harness from the hook
and felt myself descend
there’s nothing on the walls
and there’s nothing on the floor
i check my phone and open up my messages
and there’s some texts i had missed from before:
“yeah there‘s some guy outside,
we don’t know what’s he doing
it feels weird, he’s on his own
and we’re sure that no one’s
seen him around here before”
“oh fuck”
“we think he’s coming to the door”

help me out of this fortified nightmare
i've tried to feel my way through the dark
can you light a match in this wet tomb
try to hold on to the spark
in time, we'll be the fossils they found
in time, we'll be the dust the wind blows around
and i can make peace with that
black cat crossing my path
i can feel the spray on my face
the dead sea stretching for days
out on every side of my
melting horizon line
and i know i will go
give me a chance to show my devotion
the dance is slow

would you like to leave
you’re not here for me to keep
but just so you know
when you’re away
i’m having better days
and i never understood
how you always could be so unkind
when it suited you
|
||||
9. |

|
full precipitation
and i’m on the attack
a thousand open windows
couldn’t hold it back
and i could worry about
the way you take your form
oh won’t you hurry up
and take what’s mostly yours
a point of forced contention
habits dying hard
microwaved conversations
in the dark
i will follow your directions
to the store
up and down the backroads
forever, back and forth
but i’ll see you
at the last house party ever
all the way over there in the corner
just wanting to go home

the hokey-pokey
03:25
|
|||
|
you took some time away from us
and didn't like when i called your bluff
but what could i have said
about other stuff
when i knew how deep i had cut
the lights inside my brain
make me feel so insane
but i know you'll remember this
it's something i could not forget
maybe this time i took it too far
maybe i made things real hard
but i can still turn myself around
and that's what it's really all about

is there a place
05:13
|
|||
|
no one said a word that night
we just took in the silence
and sat on the ice
passing around a cigarette
we didn't get upset
and when we went home
we didn't feel it yet
not til the seeping in the head
it started real quiet, like a baby's breath
then it got a little harsher,
like the way you did
when it got even louder,
i thought enough had been said
i thought enough had been said
compounding light permeated my skull
and i was full, yeah i was full
is there a place to hold my anger?
is there a place to hold what's mine?
is there a place to rest my body?
is there a place that's warm inside?
is there a place for me?
is there a place for me?
is there a place for me?
is there a place for me?
is there a place for me?
is there a place for me?
is there a place for me?
is there a place for me?
