Well I'm definitely over
Wasting all these New England summer afternoons
On a job that's paying
Not half of what it should be
And this tension builds
With all this smoke inhaled at seven A.M.
In just two months time
We'll turn this trestle bridge back into burning rubble
Now we're
Confined to it
And you are here
Tied at the race course
Well I'm sorry your life's been so fucked lately
And it's hard to not take hold
But I know
that moving on will be for the better
I'm seconds away from
Giving up and giving in
But the last thing that I need's another
Chance to lose my
Sense of self control

Paint in New Colors

Freezing world
When it rains
With words untoward
On your shoulder
A lack of comfort
Is this all just the same?
I'll paint with new colors
The crowd's voice sustained
It grows with their numbers
They knew you too well
Hung every word
On 'life is not fair'
Turn the cheek
They'll know you're frail
And it's so absurd
With this poison air
Your work is so cruel
Our labor for sale
If you think you're cool
You're only dreaming

A Metaphor for Drowning
01:54

Before we're balanced means
Stay
Seen on
The fire escape
And waste time
Make eyes
To waste time
Slow run
No fun
No
Currency

Sense of Space

Strain, it never seems to rest
In days, where leaving feels the best
Innate, arrest intelligence
For the things
You wanted to do better
I've been writing
All this to you
Come falling leaves
I'll make my last rounds
Can I just get some sense of space?
(I've been writing)
And finally breath a little
(I've been writing)
Can I just get some sense of space?
(I've been writing)
And finally breath

Are You Even Listening

It's been about a year since you're in my bed
Still would do anything for you to talk
It's not even that
Are you even listening
I want to hear it in the sound of your voice
Because it's always like you to get so scared
But I'll take you in
You won't bet on it
Want to see me crawling in my own skin?
Because it's always like you to get so scared

Today is Sunday

Stop fighting tooth and
Nail this down
The truth unfolds when it's uncertain
And the light shines upon the bridge
It filters on in through the stairwell
A memory in the palm of love
It all fades in
As I lay back down
A time well spent
Recalling words long over
But ways have changed
And lost their feeling
I can't recall without
Distorting meaning
And if you can't relate
Take it back down in new frames
Shining light into the darkness of this day
I want to hold on to what cannot be retained

Barrier Walk
02:13
|
|

Watched you play piano on your back porch
Smoke rolled, gently
With the melody on the breeze in the spring time
I'll hum along
How could you just disappear
Living life as ageless
Will you walk on
The barrier again?
