1.Hollow Bedroom
I left like I got my way
But truly I left with nothing at all
When I saw you the next day
I knew they'd hear our breath through these walls
And we are late
And we are loud
And we'll remain connected as you're reading out loud
Mirroring a staggered youth
Flowered with nerves and shadows and truth
And it swept in
Like a strong wind
And I don't believe I are at all
What they hear through these walls
2.Dixie Cups and Jars
i'm not a whipper in the wind
or solace laying at the bottom of a bottle
or your thick skin
escape yells both our names out loud
we run like hell, i'll write a tragic epilogue and you'll act it
out
i watched your dad give you away
i watched him drink the bitter taste in his exertion away
make-up sits on your face like tar
the champagne flutes poorly engineered
employ dixey cups and jars
like minds let go of doubt
i watched it blow right out and
we danced on gaffs and graves
you'll remain, i will find a way to leave gracefully or i'll
escape
i do not fall to losing face
i dream i dive into something greater
something to take my grief away
dead leaves crunch, i will not be missed
i fill my jar up to the brim
i am an arid abyss
i'm an arid abyss
3.Lips and Limbs
4.Blue Pt. II
If you think that I'll wait forever, you were right and,
I'll give you everything you wanted if I can
And when I look into your olive colored eyes
I feel a breach, it makes me cry, it makes me cry
I wake up early every morning
And you sleep for hours after me
In our darkened bedroom,
I can't breath behind this curtain that we keep
We'll wake up sober two weeks later;
And we're loving..
The atmosphere is fucking tired it brings us nothing
If you think that I'll stay forever you were right and,
I'll give you everything you wanted when I can
And it may look like every hour is dictated
By the chance of ream
We won't want to die
We won't even feel an ounce of pain
5.Lively
Doctors and naive love
Silver spoons over fire
You tell a lazy lie
And I tell them you're a liar
And we sit in the dark
Needles and tubes in your arm
I see you in dark glasses
Writers and old movie stars
And you'd die before you look me in the eye
I had a dream last night
We had hit separate bottoms
You yell right in my face
And I poison myself numb and
You will lick your wounds
In only the most crowded room
I'm longing for my youth,
You were lively then, too
And you lie when the truth is hovering vast as the dark and grey
sky
We were crowded and blue
You were lively then, too
You were lively then, too...
6.Waiting
7.Swan dive
I cling to indifference, you to your worst memory
dark winter morning you honk your car horn at me
and I will grow out of all the empty bottles in my closet
and you'll quit having dreams about a swan dive to the hard
asphalt
ooh, ooh...
won't you sleep with me every night for a week
won't you just let me pretend this is the love I need
and I will grow out of all the empty words I often speak
and you will be depleted, but much better off without me
ooh, ooh
you hold on to the past, you make yourself miserable
and I'm ruled by seasons and sadness that's inexplicable
and we will find a way to be lonely any chance we get
and I'll keep having dreams about loveless marriage and regret
ooh, ooh...
8.Brother Bryan
I said to you on the night that we met, 'I am not well'
Our habits secrete to the sidewalk and street, our civic hell
And we covet the dark, share a cab to the park
And you'll let me speak of bearings undone, silver hair in the
sun
We are only 30% dead and our parents go to sleep early
We destroy all of our esteem and the sunlight starts to shine
through the trees
And the noise on this block keeps my mind interlocked and
unfastened
And the struggle sheds skin, heavy breath is a deadly assassin
My sister's eyes flood like rivers of wine in your absence
So we echo each song to which you'd sing along
A circuit hymn and we'll sing it again
And we'll smoke til our pockets are empty
A person cannot live without sleep
And you can't hold up a story so heavy
We tell it so rarely
And in this place I think about you
The spirits and veins that you run through
And in this place I think about you
9.Coast to Coast
10.Tangled Envisioning
The river's clouded thick with mud
I can't hear your scream or see your blood
And I do not trust your cheating luck
I don't console you in the back of his truck
I do not hold the means to mend
You had a pain I could not comprehend
Been in tangled envisioning
We lived in water at the tops of trees
We'd never see the same blue sky
It wasn't far I had to fly
11.Misery Over Dispute
12.Peace and Quiet
13.You're Damaged
Come right back.
Buy all that they have.
Convenient disguise,
We distantly laugh
You are eleven.
1997.
God is implicit.
Your luck is consistent.
And no I can not see into the future,
No I cannot breathe underwater.
Bit your last word, I
Call out to you,
This place is vile, and I'm vile too.
My gal and father,
Vomit and water,
We're not alone here,
We invent our own fear.
And separately we will see
chaos condolence defeat
And now in this place,
You talk to my shell
You keep double wides
You dream in motels
And my words are ugly,
And you can't discern me,
God's buried under,
Your damaged wonder
And no I cannot see into the future,
No I cannot breathe underwater.
With sabers and sticks, we'll run to our peace
Kept undisclosed and told of a memory.
And in this dejection, lives a connection
Tattoo your vain silence
And all my resistence,
We'll cut our hands agape and manifest
Compassion we'll lose with time and test
