Leave a Space

Strangled words make poor talking
My tongue's numb as hell as I speak
Rag and bone figure walking the exact same route every week
Wish you well, I'll make note of you as my memories are paved away
Smoke's pluming up from the sidewalk
Nothing's going to be saved
I'll will myself to sleep
Slip down
Look at what I found
Hiding
Tell me it isn't true
Tell me they wouldn't do such awful things to you
Operating under vulgar lights

Proud Mouse
03:22
|
|||
|
Straining backwards glances to ground
It's the kind of worry not allowed
I can't feel myself, we all belong to someone else
More so now than ever before
And I know you
Trying not to
What do I do again?
Correspondence weary and thin
Harder still to ease than to pretend
Continue with your noise pollution, backhand grace, caustic solution
Don't shiver now, we're just making rounds shouldering the blame

Dull Alarm
04:01
|
|||
|
And when you drift away and hang under the branches of my arms
You'll realize you're not the only one who's suffered for this long
The sky is open, greys and whites, the haze of nights stripped to their bones
A cause for dull alarm, where pieces join and hum our absent drones
If you try to keep and capture all of the echoes in your heart
You'll leave the bigger picture cast aside and watch a fire start
Where aching pains, religious strain tear the whole thing back to the Earth
Someday when you're not looking, may you find out what you're worth

Lift Us Over
03:08
|
|||
|
The sun's no longer warming
Cross cut devotion, center light
The morning speaks to you
Come hither
No more relying on a side
You've got to turn a trick on it's head
For the righteousness in me
For the purifying truth
Come hither
Lift us over
Blood travels throughout our vessels
Peace cuts us up
Watch it flow
Are you afraid to?
Is it too much to ask of you my son?
We've invested too much in you

Raft
04:47
|

|
All this in mind
Know there's no way to be coming out clean this time
So tear apart the corners you hold in your head
All this time we'll be nothing at all
And we'll wait underneath when it falls

New Years Eve
06:02
|
|||
|
Shaking hand to hand, a compromise
Wisdom that you've always lacked
I'm in your eyes when you decide that you're never coming back
I am finally at rest
I've wiped my hands raw of this mess
We're going to watch you hold your breath as long as you can
Focus no the parlor trick covering a sleight of hand
Time ticks up
A cheer corrupts
Teetering on an edge's end
So open up your feral brain, we're going to see if it makes sense
If you're right
This is just as far as we are prone to go
Stuck on New Years Eve with our heads in the snow

Army Ants
02:49
|
|||
|
I know that you can follow with a gun clutched in your hands
Strung along with palaces and pearls born from plans
Army ants
Clustered little lines I define
Chaos is a mistress running kilos for your wealth
A parlay with the king's men
Hand it off to someone else
And run them down
Deep beneath the waves
Gone away

Yearn Harder
05:26
|
|||
|
Birds weave through holes in the ceiling
Lie back and settle down
Across from here, are we far removed?
Underneath the broken beams
Our dreams fall through
Life flickers on and off
Sweeping 'round the braches
Because come a month or so there will be nothing left my love
Life flickers on and off
A sound resounds across the seconds
Ever so slowly
Living in modern times
With voices from an empty room
To lead us somewhere

Kind of Funny
03:53
|
|||
|
When I see you in a dream
You're speaking under clouds of steam
There's an answer I can't find
Listen closely
In the festive, crowded streets
A parade of patrons in a fleet moving forwards pass me by
I'm an anchor
