Dewy
Dewy raindrops
Falling upon green leaves
Dewy teardrops
Lingering upon each cheek
Come and find me

Hands
02:26
|
|||
|
A lightness
Drifting in the dark
Aglow, aloof, alone
It can wait
But you cannot see it
It shakes
You just walk by
I’ve forgotten all about it
What do your hands look like?
(You’re walking right by me
You’re walking
Can’t see me
You’re walking right by me
Can’t feel me
Can’t see me
Forgotten, Forgiven
Forgetting and forgetting again)
For all the hours I long for you
But you
Just walk by
Me again
I’ve forgotten what your hands
Look like
And that’s alright

Out of Touch
04:15
|
|||
|
We’re so out of touch
I received your last hint
I’ll see you on my screen
Or in guilt-laden dreams
I can’t blame
A womb misplaced
I should have let silence
Hold space
Between
Now your face just fades
Like old photography book pages
Blurred flesh accenting
Human remains
And woods once so lush
And love once so dizzying
Now gaping in stark monotony
There’s nothing
I can’t blame
A womb misplaced
I should have let silence
Hold space
Between

Dragonflies
01:53
|

|
I see dragonflies in your eyes
the slow pace of your fingers
tracing her thighs
with trembled teeth
I watch your feet
dadadada
but now you’re dancing with another
I cannot speak
I cannot speak
I will go on for days
dreaming of dragonflies

I Guess

you built me a white picket fence
I did not want you to
Went for a walk to clear nonsense
I was never sincere
don't tell me what is wrong
I don't really care
don't tell me what is done
because I am my own
I’ll wade in our garden of weeds
as you plead and implore
you bring home all the meat
I won't eat anymore
don't tell me what is wrong
I don't really care
don't tell me what is done
because I am my own
I’ll put my children to sleep
and they’ll speak to me
in my dreams
in my dreams, they speak
I will build myself a nest
and live in my own blood
I'll take a train out west
send you letters (I guess)

It Is or It Isn't
03:55
|

|
From one thought to another
It’s not hard to be bothered by you
If I reach one extreme
You’ll fall into this dream with me too
If I fight and scathe
And break away without you
I’ll relay what it’s worth
In signs and clues
I laugh at all the secrets
Out, adrift and leading back to you
It’s your loss or it isn’t
You thrive in discontentment
Don’t you?
And you’ll wonder what it’s like
Want to know what’s on my mind
I won’t answer
And you’ll try to
Try too hard
I’ll erase that part

when I say for you to go
it means go
don’t take it as stay
I don’t want your hair
in my bathtub drain
so don’t take it as a yes
when I said no
'cause I want you to go
don’t stay in my bed
because I don’t want you to go
I want you to go
no
why dont you take it outside with you
that's where you belong
why dont you live in my hedge
because that’s where you belong
I said no
no means no

Vampire, Saint
04:07
|

|
I wonder where you’re
Summoned now
I wonder where you go
When you’re alone
I lay here
I’ll wait here
For things to come
Where do I go
When I’m alone
I laughed at everything
I said in my head
Are we only
Caught in a beam
Of the same moon?
You bastard
You lovely child
You brilliant soul
I can’t
Say it enough
You vampire
You saint
You wild-eyed baby-faced freak
Silent, slowly—a premonitions lie
I can’t bring it back to life
So you don't love me no more?
I can’t keep sticking pencils in my toes
To make you notice
That I’m closed
And I’m broken
By the years

How I Say My Name
03:53
|
|||
|
Always seems time
To forget
Things I’ve learned
Learn them all again
Even if
I just lay here
Even if I
Just fake it
Even if I
Try to be
Even if I go
Even if I don't
All it’s gonna change
I warned you
I want it every way
I’ll fall down all these hoops
‘Til nothings left to weigh
Even if
I just lay here
Even if I
Just fake it
Even if I
Try to be
Even if I go
Even if I don't
All it’s gonna change
Is how I say my name
When I was young
I found fear
I found truth
Which one steers
