Sick Sore
03:34
|

I walked around my neighborhood
lights like candles, hovering
The town I grew up in is not a place in the clouds.
But the bruises came and went like they did for the first time,
And if ever I could feel it coming like I did when they were mine.
Now I’m sick sore in the back room and my muscles are coming after me
If I get sick sore from all the action, will it ruin what hasn’t happened?
But I’m calming down
I’m calming down

Lucky Cigarette

So much for that lucky cigarette
you smoked in the rain and it went out again
and I feel lonely— why I cannot understand
So much for all of these other things
one day i will be free of them
like dropping a phone into the toilet
like calling a friend to pick you up from work
I think I’m cutting loose
So much for that lucky cigarette
we gave it one last chance at McDonald's
but they're out of ice cream and Kev's getting tired of driving
So much for that lucky cigarette.

Guesses

I’m not afraid of the mirror anymore
But it’s been hard as of lately - as of late
I been crying a lot in my car
I been thinking bout you all
as of lately
I been pounding on my chest.
I been making my flesh red
I always find these scratches on my face
I’m feeling tired of saying sorry
And you are too I bet
I been switching lanes, trying to pray: I’m trying to pray
Thank you for your time,
But I’m not ready yet.
Thank you, well you’re too kind, but I’m not ready.
I been pounding on my chest.
I been making my flesh red
I always find these scratches on my face
do you have my guesses?

Candles

Open the door
just don’t expect things to change
Clean the living room
light some candles
Turn all the lights on
clear the coffee table
Put my favorite record on
and light some candles

I believed everything
I could see the way you looked at me
and I thought I saw a light flash
But I can’t stop no I can’t stop when I want to
I can’t stop no I can’t stop and I’m begging you
I felt the colors swell
and I thought you knew them well
but a first glance won’t catch everything
Now I can’t stop, no I can’t stop, but I want to
And I am not an afterthought and I’m begging you
I don’t wanna go home
I wanna sit in the back row
till the film starts to fade
and the lights give me away
It wasn’t perfect, but was it worth it?
What's the meaning of this, if all the colors were mist?
Andrew told me about your mother and
how you love her
You love her
‘Prehistory’ by Seiji Takahashi
Last Night,
the wind came through your high-rise apartment,
and blew out the photo you kept by your window.
The photo
spirals
down,
until it hits the pavement and explodes on impact.
Every atom of polaroid scatters the faces over the city.
1000 years later, an archeologist from New Mexico will find
the faces,
but in fossil form.
She dusts it off, and claims a Nobel prize.

Sour
04:56
|

We went driving through the canyon
And we read all the crosses while you sang of their life
Does it make you feel alive?
No one likes to be here at night
just look at how the dust gathers
on the abandoned cars
That handprint will be there forever
If there’s land that’s gone sour,
It’s the land beneath our feet;
And if there’s something after,
I hope it’s light and lily-sweet.
You know we’re the parasites.
Poison oak grows up the coasts trying to protect the earth from us.
But our hands bury shallow rot.
Blackened shrubs like singed hairs
Para-gliders sail on heat thermals above the bones and...
Samantha, I don’t know what to say.
Except,
If there’s land that’s gone sour,
It’s the land beneath our feet;
And if there’s something after,
I hope it’s light and lily-sweet.
Who could make such burning?
Who could make such burning weight?
The red-roiling wake of death,
Who could make such burning?

Spiral

spiraling staircase in the dark:
Bioluminescent flowers bloom
On every single step –
Lilac
Rose
and Sway.
Descend like the quiet after
Step down like holding back words
Dark like folding arms
