Flypaper
05:02
|

|
I was overcome like money on
trees like flypaper holding me
back.
To jump in, to capture all that time.
To hold out, to cultivate that sense of crime.
I caught you.
I beat your protest down.
No need to rhetorically walk it around.
Put a name aside.
Don't take it out, I think
we're outta time.
We're outta space, we're outta mind.
I know the name.
You knew the face.
We'll talk it out.
Don't say a lot.
The sour taste,
The rain-delay is over now.

Disregard Particulars
03:18
|
|||
|
I'm walking through the store.
I trip and fall on my face.
Why can't I look in your eye?
I'm dancing through the crowd.
I twist and spin and catch your gaze.
So goo to see you again.
Everyone loves you,
I swear
Why can't I look in your eye?
Tell me a story; I'm going to sleep now.
Enter scene. Cut. Disregard Particulars.
Enter scene. Cut. Blank space I've got to fill.

I bought the farm to burn it down.
I'm crying wolf; I love you.
You took the shot; no battle lines.
No time to dis-recover your truth.
Who's the lucky one?
I lit the match to snuff it out.
I'm playing dead I'll bite you.
You pick the rocks to hold you down.
No time to dis-recover your truth.
Who's the lucky one?
Don't ruin this summer night.
I take in more than I give out.
I bought the gun to throw it out.
I'm trying less; god bless you.
you left the scene; no alibi.
No time to dis-recover your truth.
Who's the lucky one?
I bought the farm to burn it down.
I'm crying wolf; I love you.
You took the shot; no battle lines.
No time to dis-recover your truth.
Who's the lucky one?
Don't ruin this summer night.
I take in more than I give out.

Headlights. All the windows were left open
and I can feel the air pass through me.
Why can I not run toward
any and all conversation.
No place to balance the tongue.
We were the last ones standing,
sufficiently lost.

Caliper Candy

You got the gun; I'll give it up
You got the beat; my feet are stuck.
Oh my beliefs are stuck in time.
My body writhing when you're mine.
Oh I believe your soul.
Oh rocking the wrong stone.
Die dear, burdened milt glow
Why don't, why don't you get her back?
Why don't, why don't you get gone?
You got the beat; I'll give it up.
You drop the gun, I've had enough.
Oh my beliefs are stuck in time
my body rebels when I'm on fire.
What are you talking to now?
Who are you walking through?
Who are you running by?

Forgive Myself
03:51
|
|||
|
What ideas do I have left?
When's a sad day coming next?
I drop the keys, head out drunk
and get lost.
I broke it off now dance to bed.
The future stalled and branched again—
A background hum of highways falling apart.
We were kids, I promise you.
I don't know just what we knew—
God, more than this; let's make believe it again.
Skipping stones on frozen lakes.
A lonely walk to calm the shakes and come to terms,
to chirp away at the fog.
The fireworks are bouncing off
the lake-effect snow, calling soft to
look outside. No scattered minds to be seen.
Would I get to stay old long?
Would the chance to forgive myself come easily?
Now, looking back on it all?

Four Hands
03:00
|
|||
|
I live in a world with a low degree of reflexivity.
Fare well. Travel safe. Set free the fantasy.
I am not your life. I am not the bitter end.
No, I'm just a hope and a prayer.
Piano, four hands. We're traveling lightly
across terrain well-worn.

All Directions
04:14

Given that I'm older now, things will never change quite as quick.
Given that I'm older now, things will never change.
Things will never change.
On my way, things are gonna look up now for me…
given that I'm older now.
I don't recall us getting a step closer, here.
Am I just afraid of forgetting the only thing I fear?
I draw a line. The sand moves all directions.
Break into an isotropic lie.
Shake it off. The past don't care.
But I'm running out of time to stare ahead.
I draw a line. The sand moves all directions.
Break into an isotropic lie.
Here comes a sign. It means its opposite.
I know you are your not-self when you're mine.

Tit for Tat
02:38
|

|
I said a lie. A Sunday whisper, coming flood.
I sail away off to me.
Oh they love your dead-eyes reeved.
So sail away into me.
You said not I.
I'm going nowhere. Headstrong,
dictating the course of our days.
In this moment, give me something
I can lie about, please.
I pretend to walk it off.
I pretend to know your name.
Showdown. I laugh it off.
I know you know I know.
Why can't you say that to me, my love?
"You're so wrong."

Lacuna

Path laid out for me.
I get freaked out.
Lay your head on me.
Get up! Get up!
Looping back on me.
Dropping out.
Can I recognize I'm out of touch?
Fall into a dream again… and
Get up! Get up!
Can I recognize?
Who loved who more?
I don't even know.
I've come down with a bad disease:
my sentiments fold back on me.
Who loved who more?
I don't even know.
Did I love you more?
Did I love you less?
