Waterfall

Going down to the dive

gonna march my way home

going down with a punch in the face but I...

won't be down long.

>>cuz I spin like a waterfall<<

Going down to the dive

gonna sing my songs

gonna spend all the money I make but it...

no it won't last long

>>cuz I spend like a waterfall<<

Gonna let my anger sever the anchors

swept up by voices sayin

destruction is rejoicing

and ya know we're

all rushing ove-he-r the

edge, it's a great problem solver

Can't pin down rain, can't bind a flood, it's my human rage....

>>dressed up like a waterfall<<

Going down to the dive

gonna live while I'm alive

yeah, ya know - I guess I could outthink it but

I guess I'd - just rather drink it be-

>>cuz it tastes like a waterfall<<

Garbage Trucks

I didn't wanna wake up today

with garbage trucks

hauling my wasted parts away

And the T.V. made me feel the same

junk yard haggling on my stripped down brain

 

Just switch me off

Felt all that I can feel for now

Just plug me out

done all I care to do right now

I didn't wanna be alive today

with time's ocean

wearin my beachy life away

Ice melting is a sign of the change

eternal spring has got me feeling so strange

tinnitis ringing and throwback singing

tylenol to melt of the feelings

lawn mowers thrummin and throwback strummin

what's the point of singing songs in the desert?

Just switch me off

Felt all that I can feel for now

Just plug me out

done all I care to do right now

Slow Train

IMG_2430-2.jpg

Slow train glimmer in your eyes

scrap metal freighter paradise

you dream of rails and glowing horizons casual escape

 

and let 'em

watch your lazy departuer

and let 'em

cry why would you even say goodbye?

Rip of velcro, jaw set hard

you call cliche birds beneath the stars

to be a hook a loop can't catch can't stand around to get enmeshed

and let 'em cry
your clumsy tries

one last guilty

obstacle before its time to go.

Barkin' Dogs

Everybody wants straight talk barkin' dogs

One word solutions to their problems

Took a magnetized view of the truth

Compass always points right on back to you

But I just wanna be loved.

Sunshine getting in my way,

it's a new day but I guess I'd rather wait

for a starry night, or a clearer sign

that I'm gonna, gonna be alright

But I just wanna be loved.

When the polar opposites have their day

everyone will handcuffed wait

not say too much to get their way, 

finally still enough to contemplate what was

truly lost.

But I just wanna be loved.

Tune 4 the Apocalypse

And I think it's rediculous

how we try to make sense of this

carve the universe in our image

Yeah just because you wanted to

ignore the cost that you're passing through

doesn't mean there isn't. 

So pick it up on the turn around

death isn't God's lost and found

you either died or you didn't

Yeah just because you wanted to

ignore the damage in front of you

doesn't mean it's realistic.

Lazy Heart Attack

How his hand would shake and that vocal quake
lightning fever traced its way from the womb

pistol on his hip, cracks a bible whip

push the chairs off to the side of the room

There ain't no running after

Stars, sunshine and laughter

There ain't no running after

or either way, there's no looking back

XERA radio, lectric fences glow

border blaster blows a million watt kiss

Rambled out the back, lazy heart attack

raced that Cadillac all over the hills but

There ain't no running after

Stars, sunshine and laughter

There ain't no running after

or either way, there's no looking back

Sara sang her way to another state

put her harp away and hung up the thrill

Found him on the phone, dressed to die alone

all his best days done, he's chasing a thrill but

There ain't no running after

Stars, sunshine and laughter

there ain't no running after

or either way - there's no looking back.

Simple Song

Waves crash all around us
Lights and sounds fall like the sea
But I can't think about it
Without trying to make it mean something - but

We float by so fast
Try to make our nothing last
Rushing around under star-filled skies
With artificial lights
Trying to explain

 

How time
Passes us
By

And I guess
I think it's
So much simpler than this

Tides rise and fall within us
Chemicals that paint the days
But I can't think about it
Without crashing from black and yellow
Through grey - but

We float by so fast
Try to make our nothing last
Rushing around under star-filled skies
With artificial lights
Trying to explain

How time
Passes us
By

And I guess
I think it's
So much simpler than this

Magic Loop

Close the windows and blinds, 

watchful worldwide eyes

imaging sleeping for days but the speed of your veins

will keep you awake,  not let the memories fade

replay in shifting shade, each strike deepens the break

Rather be alone

than surrounded by cold

vacant backyard eyes measuring my side by side

It’s so easy to be holier than me

If that’s all you wanna see then just let me be

 

They say that love is enough

the perfect fix on life’s tough

it’s a simple ruse that somehow gets people through

but I’ve never been touched without getting bruised

Believing doesn’t make truth and people never give much

 

So tired of tryina change

just to stay the same

tired of running in place

build my new bridge every day

reach across the divide and get way too high ayayayayay

 

And then just 

shake shake until the meaning comes free

out of life and everything

shake shake

keep tryna find the ground

but there ain’t up when there ain’t down

shake shake

keep tryna catch your breath

look around ain’t no one left

shake shake

shake shake

shake shake until the meaning comes free

 

cuz any magic loop could set you free

but they all bind me

any magic loop could set you free

but they all bind me

Crumple my sheet so you can smooth it,

burn my heart so you can soothe it.

Ya been awake for a week and I miss you.

1-2-3-4!

Saturated Life

Saturated life, your blackest black is my greenest grass - and bluest skies. Reddest eyes, reddest eyes.

Careful Swthrt

She said, "careful sweetheart time's like sand through your fingers, and we're each a cloud - changing shapes and raining down." So I imagine the ocean, thought of the things I should tell her but we know that when everything's over - it's just sand through our fingers.

I watched the shapes change - like bodies in the ocean

and I watched your face change...

So I look out at the ocean, thought of the places I've been, but we know that when everything's over - it just don't mean a thing.

I watched the shapes change - like bodies in the ocean and I watched your face change...

like a storm over the water.

Dragon Man

Sleeping in your mansion, one eye open - dragon man

Bought a ghost town to fill with your endless nothing
& be alone.

Did you think you were just getting older

when your bed got too hard at night

and you couldn't get closer

drown yoursellf cuz your life fits too tight

Born to a bad moon under dark stars, starving heart.

Ten thousand acres of wheat, gold that don't feed starving hearts.

 

(chorus)

Mountain walls for the cradle, and the prison that won't burn down.

Bought a ghost town to fill with your endless nothing

& be alone.

(chorus)

People say you changed since you fell down the stairs but I don't think that honesty's a crack you repair

It's alright - we all look better in low light
well come on - we all got something going wrong

Can't keep my heart inside my GD chest it's
surgery in the kitchen open cupboards I confess
that it's strange how you can never be as real as you feel
just how park strips ain't for parking in
they're just an ideal display 

Of uniformity in space
It's all good - we prefer empy neighborhoods

The wolves whiffle and simper sympathetic tones
but when the gate's unbolted they're efficient to the throat

yeah, your darkest nights are best spent pacing alone

studying the breath or singing casey jones

some train wrecks happen slower it's a fermented sting

but as the stars bloom through the clouds we're finally listening

 

let it roll - the pins and needles in our soul

it's all right - to sleep the other side of night

 

It's your medicine more hateful than lithium that

rolls in with your fog its not the fix but slippings fun

past caught up and grabbed us can't escape from our bones

dawn brings the panoramas of the damage we've done

but the rhytm of our tragedy is it's own groove

a wrapping on the silence we're all fighting just to move

cuz success is when you find a door that no one's walked through but now that anyone can do it

there's no reason to.

it's alright - we're all the stars of our own lives

found our home - we'll never have to rise alone

 

the moment right before the fall the breath stretches vast

a little trip, stomach pit, suddenly it's past

as rising suns disperse the spectre of our sick

in haloed bands with tight held hands we'll let go of the fix.
 

The Fix

IMG_2316.jpg

Unfinished

I dream of unfinished houses

gasoline doused

open cieleing falling down

All open to the star-charred sky

under blankets we all hide

from monster teeth and prying eyes

I dream at night of the black heartworm

that ate the spot on you

that I already bruised

and all the stars that we keep shredding

are raindrops running down

to pools under the ground

and then we were dry.

He's snapping back the screen door

yelling out my name

but the chaos of my chemistry is more than I can tame

The earth shakes let it break rattle to the bone

tectonic plates make new shapes

in the chaos we are born

The earth quakes make me break

screaming out your name
try to hold on to each other

but we're constant in our change

BABY I can change BABY I can change BABY I can

you gotta let me change

but then we died.
