Play

at the waters edge where the city ends
heard it's peaceful there, but do you have the patience
i won't know what may play out down there
all the same
at the creek bed, little house there
waiting through the winter, but does it have the patience
i won't know what may play out down there
all the same
we're cleaning up and saying goodbye
to the friends we made, but do they have the patience
i won't know what may play out down there
all the same

Confrontation
04:43
|
|||
always running from a confrontation when it
happens to get heated for a minute only
as i learn the hard way, long and stupid, will i
join the conversation and its tension?
don't laugh, my voice cracks
all cuts scab, i'll adapt
always gunning for an exit i cant help it
see a crack in the glass i can drip in by the
skin of my teeth crooked, leaving nothing for the
next one, dry cup, fill lines, not an explanation
don't laugh, my voice cracks
all cuts scab, i'll adapt

Stillness
05:17
|
|||
nothing left inside my head
wait around and what you'll find there
no disarray or disrepair
only stillness, static, and a name
singing now to the birds out back
by the maple, it's just us here
given space, no movement near
if you listen, quiet, they sing back
we won't last the next extinction
microplastics aren't the reason
ask too much and give back none
of this cold pale blue dot
no land left, what we're stealing now
your connected attention
closing out, get back down south
only stillness, static, and a name
we won't last the next extinction
microplastics aren't the reason
ask too much and give back none
of this cold pale blue dot

Lamplight

|

holding hands at eleven
you can't know where it's going
breaking in our first apartment
checking in, how's it going?
traded vows with the infinite
time in motion with this constant
pack our life up with the promise
to get back to where it started
i'm too high
the lamp light, you've
caught me crying
now we're laying here uncovered
our legs braided around each other
i'm fixated on the future
that one day we lose the other
come back to, for a moment
that's just long enough notice
we're cosmically together
a bond older than each other
i'm too high
all this time, intertwined
will never be enough

Call Your Mom
04:59
|
|||
make a note in my phone
to call everyone i've ever known
why'd i wait until now? when this list is long
and i'm to drunk to talk
how long has it been since you called
feel a pain that i can't name
sleeping on the couch again
had a dream you've gone
still got work in the morning
so i move on
how long has it been since you called
what we do with now
matters more than how
many days it's been
just know your voice is missed
how long has it been since you called
i keep calling
list gets shorter

House Rules
03:52
|

windows rattle, moneys tight
burned both ends of that candle i liked
from the old, up sprouts the new
life moves on and so will you
look back fondly keep who you can
don't keep guns inside the house
take the train down through the valley
leaves are changing just like me
every good fruit has a season
learn to love the smell of decay
from the old, up sprouts the new
life moves on and so will you
look back fondly keep who you can
don't keep guns inside the house
teddy's sleeping, pushing daisies
thought i heard him follow me
kill to hold him one more minute
can't clean up that carpet stain
from the old, up sprouts the new
life moves on and so will you
look back fondly keep who you can
don't keep guns inside the house

Soft Blue
06:17
|
|||
soft blue
see the dark come in
wondering if i find a friend
will i get here again
or will i
feel my feet again
wits end
forming callus not on my hands
staying up not with my friends
drive me to contemplate my own end
tunnel vision
i can feel again
rest my head against
the work i have been putting in
started falling for all of my friends
i'll feel warm again
circle the edge all it takes is a pin
poking into the well, shadows cast on the wall
and the horse it is in motion again
i'll see light again

Empathy
06:41
|
|||
no one really lives in isolation
every part of the greater body
your an elbow, and i am an eyelid
at your feet is our bosom feel it beating
empathy as a muscle you must articulate to be whole

Honey
03:33
|
|||
how's it been where you've been
hope that you're getting all that you can
a house is where you live
a home is never gone
how's this end, not convinced
that you're not spreading yourself thin
i just hope you're making time for you honey
show me every part of you, honey
see a brand new scar on you, honey
doesn't matter where you got them from
rest and then learn to listen
to your limits, not demands
just pay your rent, with your time left
hope you do what the hell you wanted, honey
here if you want to talk to me, honey
tell you of your best parts only, honey
doesn't matter where you got them from
i've been waiting so long
you've come into your own
