glass after glass is erupting at the beer tap / tumblers on the trace / of them beads of sweat / that streak and stop / across the fevered faces / raptured in the sound of maniacal noise / lips soaked in this fuel / burn their secrets / burn / there lies everything that's fragile and carefully placed / dashed to glisten in the flickering flame / that expires / by the dimming glow / were you more able to feel / having risked all this / all that you could not bear to lose / she got a mind like a cuneiform mystery message / coming down from the stars up above / where the angles try / to make a human life / come closer to the ways that her words describe / opened up eyes / to a burning bright / mind moving too fast / making pictures / waking up the memory of something / you cannot replace / unforgotten in the look of an eye / that expires / by the dimming glow / were you more able to feel / having risked all this / all that you could not bear to lose

Dry Teeth
05:29
|
|||
all my dry teeth / dry teeth are narrow / as I bite into the apple of my eyes / emooyee please don't go / all my dry teeth are narrow / as I bite into the apple of my eyes / and the wily alligator / smiling crocodile / and the lazy armadillo / they been chasing me for miles / 'cause I got wild cats in my kitchen / pepper in my stew / and I been cooking up my tongue / now it's creeping into you / I'm creeping cold like a tree root / like old locomotion / where the river runs deep / the weeds grow high / I feel like a firefly / spattered on a windshield / got the glowing green guts spilling from my head / I feel like that poor boy / working in the corn fields / breaking his back for the dreams of the things / that he never had / with the pollen sticking to his sweat / the fever sun begins to set / the cricket and the earthworm dig their beds / in my body and my soul / in my body / and my soul / emooyee please don't go / eudemonia please don't go / all my dry teeth are narrow / as I bite into the apple of my eyes

Swim

these words / these words beg / these words beg your body to swim / to kick and to paw / for the broken light / these words / these words beg / these words beg your body to swim / to kick and to paw / for the broken light / when everywhere everyone is holding up the mirror to / your new dance / your new / these words / these words hold on / to the broken pieces of siren songs / washed up on the shore / where everyone's losing / these words / these words refuse / refuse to capture the tragic beauty of / the once more seduced / once more seducing / when everywhere everyone is holding up the mirror to / your new dance / your new

Calling Out
05:39
|
|||
calling out I'm calling out / from this lonesome place / calling for that / holy dove to pour out her grace / calling out calling out / I'm calling out / I'm calling / into the space / your words kept awake / I'm calling out / I'm calling / before the autumn leaves and pouring rain / go washing down the drain / internecine flowers these fences keep / until the gardens sleep / calling out calling out / I'm calling out / I'm calling / into the space / your words kept awake / I'm calling out / I'm calling / sunlight symbols are on the ceiling / and postcard angels in drugstores peering from covered bridge / aw the covered bridge / oh overflow / we did not know / I jumped that fence and I tore my clothes / trying for that home / find our way back home / to where the sunlight symbols are on the ceiling / and postcard angels in drugstores peering from covered bridge / aw the covered bridge / calling out I'm calling out / from this lonesome place / calling for that / holy dove to pour out her grace / calling out calling out / I'm calling out / I'm calling / into the space / your words kept awake / I'm calling out / I'm calling

Clairvoyance
03:34
|
|||
by clandestiney / but there she was / lying next to me / in the middle of / no electricity and swirling winds / open up the door / she let me in / unveiled secrecy / by candle light / holding holding / and shining bright / my eccentricity / she did not judge / every puzzle piece / fit like a glove / oh I had a moment / of clairvoyance / I had a moment / those dreams all were weaving / I had a moment / of clairvoyance / I had a moment / but now it's gone

Cicada
04:07
|

it's a cipher and a cicada that's waiting for you / aw their comin' on through now / it's a cipher and a cicada that's waiting for you / aw their comin' on through / in the summertime season buzz in the bushes and trees / you hear but cannot see / it's a cipher and a cicada that's waiting for me / aw come in on and see / it's a cipher and a cicada that's waiting for you / aw their comin' on through / and the suicide lies of a phaedra can wake you up to / that realization blue / that no summa cum laude praises can save you from doin' / exactly what they made you / when the cipher and the cicada come calling for you / ain't nothin' you can do / once they put that hold on your soul they don't ever let go / and you wish you never sold them / all the new cut keys to your kingdom that never came true / and no matter what you do boy / you can never go back to the way that it was when it was / back to the way it was / when the cipher and the cicada first laid eyes on you

Halloween
03:45
|
|||
florescent light in a hospital room / darkness and light split the face of the moon / like in the beginning / like in the end / 365 times in a second / halloween is come / and the knot slips undone / collapsing shades of a colorless day / condensing droplets of clouds turning grey / languages fusing / symbols erase / no way to speak of the spirits that you face / halloween is come / and the knot slips undone / babylon in your brain / colors colliding / cycling cylinders / consciousness sliding / difference falls apart / one thing's the same as everything / abyssmal equivocating / fusing confusing / erased misplace / flayed unfamiliar fading / florescent light in a hospital room / darkness and light split the face of the moon / light is a particle / light is a wave / turned into energy / sanity to save

Cross the Divide
08:34
|
|||
there were miles of silence to fill / with the tangents of our minds / that climbed slowly up the walls / up to the corners / up to the ceiling / I could feel with the hair on my arms / christmas light glowed / from all directions / and quiet as snowflakes / whispers drift across / and the heat came on in your room / and noisily blew the serious away I had never been there before / I could not find my way in that land / but you reached out / with your guiding hand / and you helped me across the divide / and a siren cut through the night / and the fire engine groaned / and the walls flashed with red light / the universe was still / a timeless vacuum / we looked too long / and our stares shifted black and white / I had never been there before / I could not find my way in that land / but you reached out / with your guiding hand / and you helped me across the divide

||||
a rain so soft fell on the ground / and on a newborn baby head / coo and laugh a brand new language / I loved you under raindrop rooftops / coo and laugh a brand new language / we have no longer access to the world we knew before / right now I can barely speak / and I'm shaken to the core / can't catch the words to sooth these things / that writhe and try to leap into eternity direct / dull and shapeless wail

Loom
06:14
|
|||
suntan smell / salt is in the air / sleeping with her shoulders bare / open lips / are flowers in full bloom / in the kitchen memories loom / try to change her / don't try to change her / she's not gonna change her mind / hail stones fell / the day I packed my things / down the street a church bell rings / all was said / and everything was done / fly into the sinking sun / try to change her / don't try to change her / 'cause she's not gonna change her mind
