Honey Blue
03:31
|
|||
|
through these city light stars and meteor cars
gray clouds shining bright overhead
you say you've got the money and why don't we run honey
let's ditch this valley cage and fly
your eyes are shining and pleading flutters crying out
we'll go there now with no goodbyes
and we'll run run run until our rivers run dry
and we'll figure out just what we're drinking then
and I don't drink but I'll surely drink for you
honey blue
through these inverted trees with the stars at our feet
under a concrete sky not quite dead
well look at the time love; why don't we fly love
we can make ourselves a sky where there is none
my wings are aching and my knees are quaking
we'll go where this can be undone
and we'll fly fly fly until we bite the gun
but I don't think we'll be worried much by then
and I don't break many rules but I'll be an outlaw with you
honey blue

Mountain in My Mind
03:43
|
|||
|
there's a hole in my eye
it's leaking blood, big surprise
and you're not here
there's a river in my skin
sets it to crawling
and you're not here
there's cuts in my chest
they're leaking birds just like the rest
and you're not here
bind them up
there's a mountain in my mind
as if you're here
stumbles up and tears the sky
as if you're here
there's binders around my wrists
you know the rest
since you're not here
since you're not here
bind them up

Wolf Skin
01:40
|
|||
|
I'm right out here
the clouds run like paint
I'm just out here
crystal knives annotate
the windowpane
these bony fingers are to blame
my wolf skin sags along it's frame
and this composite heart doesn't beat
run a wire through the street
where it certainly breathes
and I never you could look so pretty
with those vicious eyes on me

Lifeboat
02:56
|
|||
|
the river that it crosses
leads calmly out to sea
speaks not of heavy losses
torn free and polished clean
a twisted bright reflection
cuts the night or so it seems
I think I'll let it burn
will you watch with me
our little ship is sinking
not for lack of heavy words
or lack of heavy thinking
on the bright and the absurd
I watched your lifeboat fade
as I went down with the wreck
too thirst to let go
I had my fill on the lowest deck

Simple Song
01:52
|
|||
|
the white sun rose over the noxious black
and leaked color over the mountains and into the streams
when the first eyes opened the sun was red
and the darkness that had bled into the sea
was carried up into everything
and it was beautiful
let me sing you a simple song, love
about a crow transfixed by a dove
and as her feathers burned to black
he inhaled deep and he tilted his head
and his eyes went red

Bird
03:54
|
|||
|
hey there little bird
why are you singing at me
don't you have somewhere colorful to be
hey there little bird
why are you floating towards me
there's only black rock, worms here to see
worlds wider in the depth of your eyes
words heavy on the tip of your tongue
new melody to meet me there
swallow tar as I take to your skies
weigh heavy, slip away with the sun
new melody to meet me there
I'll be watching more of this
what will...

The Caustics in You
02:04
|
|||
|
a flash through the trees
never bright, never weak
though they might lead to ashes
they'll rest on the lashes
that cradle the blue
and the caustics in you
where the lines re-converge
heavy light, floating earth
all I know is heavy light will show
through the clear
|

They All Come Back
01:20
|
|||
|
they all come back in the end
those blackened thoughts
that we are not innocent
and everything is the eye
and everything is a crime
we are the children in the dark
huddled close to stay warm
through the night
but the sun despite itself casts light
the sun despite itself casts a shadow high

Cough Up Blood
04:47
|
|||
|
as the even' sky fades
to rust gives way
opens and drains
until hollow
dressed in mange
forgot his name
that beautiful decay
is hard to swallow
he bites his liars tongue
and spits the bitter blood
and readies weary eyes for sleep
that will not come
she had six dead keys
and her guts were rotten
a voice so haunted
what a lovely coffin
when he bites his liars tongue
there's no teeth to draw black blood
only shudders to press on the weak
and deep dark dreams to come
he picks himself up
and climbs the vacant stairs
to free himself of nightly cares
tumbles on and endlessly
silent suck stirring up dead leaves
picks himself up from the concrete floor
coughs up blood and then some more
follows city lines without discretion
for now it seems a clear direction
then I bite my liars tongue
and I spit but there's no blood
and the sun is mocking me
for sleep that did not come

Vent
02:48
|
|||
|
have you seen the city lights
when everything is red
and you've given in
to all low desires
flickering neon lights
it's alright
have you seen the city lights
late in the day
when you've thrown it all away
and you're sitting alone in your bathroom
blowing smoke into the vent
just trying to vent
