Valley Sky

I dissolve into the sound of yr breath in the night / we form a cloud and tumble thru the valley sky / and together we lean into the wind

In the dirt
02:01
|
|||
the sky melts down from the top of the stars to the bottom of the lake / the moon is a spotlight ready to illuminate everyone’s mistakes / and then I slide in the water and I kick my froglegs I’m naked as a snake / I burned my report cards I never ever ever want to talk about my grades / cuz I only get As and Bs and Cs and Ds and Ds yeah / let’s go eat sum dirt

Anna Mae

|

anna mae is the ghost in my closet / she hears me pray to god about crossfit / and prayers for help deleting all the apps within my head / praying for one more day of strength until the day I’m dead / and she whispers / all you noble paper-shuffling pencil pushers / all you courageous cubicle-dwelling carbon copiers / are braver than you can ever know / more patient than you will ever believe / you don’t even know it but yr shining like the sun / stoking up the furnace that is lighting everyone / so hold on

every nite we watch 2 episodes of our show / but on Fridays we watch 3!! / you will fly on the wings of the wind with the golden sun as your chariot / it takes being half-dead to feel half alive / it took giving up to learn just how to try / I will scratch and I will scrawl your name across the wall

Clickbait
02:13
|
|||
lead us not into spiderwebs and mazes of clicks and links and images of friends of friends of friends / my to-do list is always growing / I’m never doing what I’m doing / sooner or later the world is gonna burn the fires will rise the internet will die the forest will go up with the smoke into the sky and the screens will all fizzle the governments will fry / everything will burn except our hearts
|

you say I’m weird / I say I’m really weird / you grow a beard / I grow a really beard / yolo hallelujah looking right thru ya / I won’t look in your eyes unless you look in mine / all I want is sports beans

Catapult
01:26
|
|||
launch me from your catapult over the walls of the grave / launch me with your powerful fingers pictures and lists of friends / tap on a screen / slide me down the slimy rope over the side of the boat / burial at sea / I’ll tag the sharks / launch me with your finger ropes slimey pictures and lists of sharks

90 years is a long time to spend / clawing at the walls of this cave we are in / bloody fingers is all we have to show for it / we lost the rope behind us we’re never going back / but our love laughs at the end of the world

yr song comes thru the pines / but I can’t catch the verse / a thunder of wind and lyric noise / so I make up the words with every step I take

interstate bean
00:59
|
|||
I was driving down the interstate in typically dense DC traffic / I felt the tension in the sky above give way the grey clouds let down their rain / I took a deep breath and I assessed the scene / everything getting cleaned / I said thank you to the swaying trees lord this is all I need
|

in a bathroom stall slamming down sum alcohol and are those yr feet on the other side / yeah that’s someone gettin it on / moanin eyes closed tryin to forget the dawn / yeah people do it every night / I don’t know where you are or who yr with or what bathroom stall yr in tonight / I’m gonna trust that you are who you say you are

Screed
01:39
|

I am fragile I am precious I am affected by external factors / I am imperfect I know I can be contentious / but our minds are gardens that need to be tended / and this is why I use a flip phone

Enough of all the walls
01:45
|

and the prisons that you build and lock yourself into / and don’t let others in because you say they’re not like you / you say “go and build your own prison this one is just for me and build a moat outside my prison on your way if you please cuz I DON’T WANNA SEE YOU EVER AGAIN I DON’T WANNA EAT WITH YOU OR HOLD YR HAND YOU WEAR A DIFFERENT HAT THAN ME SO WE CAN’T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER AS BROTHERS AS TWO SUCH DIFFERENT MEN”

the fan’s turned on and yr under my arm / the city’s breathin outside / my favorite sound is the wind in trees / will u remember that after I die / cuz the only thing that’s inevitable is that we’re gonna say goodbye / so listen to the wind and remember tonight / sometimes all I wanna think about’s our future together / raising sum kids in a farmhouse w chickens and living a perfect life / but the only thing that I got right now is you sittin by my side / so let’s listen to the wind and be right here tonight / I don’t wanna talk about tomorrow / or waste all our precious time / worryin about what happened long long ago / I feel tired let’s be quiet tonight

you are not defined by the bitter things that you said on yr deathbed / I know that you were scared / you won’t have to be scared anymore / you are not defined by the time that you got mean and shouted and screamed about yr drinking / I know that you were mad and sad in the face of yr own powerlessness in the face of yr infirmity / we are all so powerless we are all infirm / another world is breaking thru / you will be changed you will be new / you are not defined by the way you fought w yr own hands / you are not defined by the way you lost that fight last night / under the tree in our backyard hangin from a rope under the cold white stars / we all fight with ourselves / we all lost most our fights / here we boil in a neverending atomic blast a constant stream of desires growing evermore loud n garish / beneath the soil it’s a constant 55 degrees and that is where I leave my heart to rust and breath and love you in the dark / I love you in the silent dark and that is where we meet

I don’t own anything in this life it’s water pourin down the mountainside / it was given so I’ll give it away / I don’t hold anything in the night / it’s kindling for the fire in a dying star’s light / it was given so I’ll give it away

god made every cup of coffee / god made every lima bean / god made the couch that you sit on but he didn’t make you mean / god made the rivers / god made the trees / I made this song but god made me / god made this paper / god made this pen / I’ll write the song down but god will write the end
