How Low
03:43
|
|

|
where
where are you now?
up in the clouds,
out of my reach
and your lies,
insipid and sweet
tongue and the cheek
with fluids to breathe
how low, how low
low would you go?
you
so young and so sweet
eyes open wide
out on the street
lost
lost inside the dream
she’s always on the scene
but she’s never coming down here

Fix Me Up
03:36
|
|

|
she writes me letters from across the sea all the time
I never read them but I know what they’re like
she’s got no patience for the quiet kind
she’s got no time for the many sides of me
you know I’m a wreck out there
I know I could use repair
you could fix me up
she’s says its heaven but I know that’s not for me
cause something beautiful is something I don’t need
I got no patience for the violent kind
got no time for the many sides of me

Picture This
04:57
|
|
||
|
read your books
and picture this away from me
cold, cold wind
far from ever breaching me
odd enough
sleeping here
for awhile ‘till I break this
I hear her voice there
and it kills me
my little girl
rain is in
droplets on my window
I remember
every word she told me
and we don’t know
all in all
picture this

Floating
04:12
|
|
||
|
I don’t give a fuck about emotions
and I never think about the wise
why don’t you throw me in the ocean?
just leave me floating there for days
when she comes she brings the sunshine
when she comes she stays for days
so I pay for dimes with dollars
but it never really goes away
you could tell I’m a mile away from my mind
you could tear a strip right off my back
you could tell your friends that I went crazy
lord you know I’m never coming back

Dope Mind
06:54
|
|
||
|
we are but two scant figures
ghosts below an emerald sky
cut on occam’s razor
somewhere in the great divide
in a dope mind
so close but far away
the in-between inspires dreams
my heart awakes and aches
for that which cannot be seen

Black Widow
03:41
|
|
||
|
slowly rising from the smoldering ashes
another burnt-out city in the setting sun
we’re making figurines of little soldiers
dancing flames on a backlit carousel
this is all she ever knew
why don’t you leave me alone
black widow with a heart of gold
drinking down the anti-aging potions
waiting for a revolution fire in your eyes
wasted everything on civilization
took it all for a ride on the carousel

Farewell
05:15
|
|
||
|
always hurts
the words she uses never come out right
she abuses
pills to feel alright
but someday she’ll be gone
so you know
I’ll never forgive you
just for being you
always leaving when it mattered most
now I’m done, we’re through
winter’s here
the waters frozen
and I’m leaving soon
never find me when it comes to you
throw it all away
farewell

Take Me Away
03:49
|
|
||
|
c’mon, gather round the table
of the feast of good and evil
in the final light of days
in the morning
when the mist is slowly rising
and the birds sing song from not dying
such a beautiful bird of prey
now I’m waiting for you on the shore
will I find you ever more
you’re my angel and nothing more
you’re my lover up on the shore
A song, a song for all those empty
nights when you’re all alone
and you feel like a sinking stone
I’ve never wanted more
and now you take me away
stay with me my love won’t you stay with me my love
before they take me away
stay with me my love
before they take me away
I’ve never wanted more, I’ve never wanted more
but now they take me away

Guardian Soul
03:26
|
|
||
|
woman I adore you, I see
you’re right there in front of me
being your little self
falling apart at the seams
like I don’t need you to know
know that I am broken, and I feel
wouldn’t you need
a guardian soul
it’s like I don’t need you
to make it through
