Postcards 06:12
Some awning on the office, some railroad on the sheet Those gestures on a postcard are feel to swat my feet This loose endanger bottom, elastic fall concrete Pearly Jesus morning, I’ve forgotten how to see But maybe you want me as a whole Maybe you I’ll have another whiskey, I’ll have another tea Some claustrophobic city, raining onto me My drifting yellow eyelids, my sliding purple teeth My soft electric motion, my silhouette shines free Imagine run unending, I wait and want to die Dishevel poppy morning, hungover through the sky Unbroken brassy bridle filling bottle halfway high I wait and want forever, I wish you’d watch me cry I’m not much more to love now, evaporated dry Forgive the seeds I planted, invasive long and shy I’m turning switching trainwise in no one’s secret eye Forgive me if I bother, trampoline and try But maybe you want me as a whole

I remember the sand and the candles in colors my darling And I wish I could be all the things that you want me to be And I know what I want is so hard to accompany darling And I know I’m a spot on the ocean that’s covered in trees And I know that it’s hard to wake up all alone now, my darling And I know what I want is an apple that's covered in bees I remember the sand and the candles in colors my darling And I wish I could be all the things that you want me to be And I know that my words can forsake me some hours in darkness And I know that the mask of forever is scary to be Like a small unmarked path that divides in the middle my darling Never quite sure if you’re circling slowly to me And you stare at me fondly, I run in the distance my darling And I’m stuck on a path that’s as wet as a bone on the sea And you’re lost in a beach and I’m running me wild like starlight And you smile I know as you look towards the sun where we’ll be And the talons of darkness can drop like the wind without warning And I’m running too fast hoping I am the one you can see

Fall Apart 04:21
Sideways unlucky door I’m locked in a shrine Says that I’ll always go What it means to be fine And I might prefer to tear All the letters I sign You know that I might forebear Anything that is mine But I could be anywhere And I could be fine The daffodils in your hair Straight as a vine We could be debonair Ignore all the signs We could be anywhere Centennial country fair Of muffins and wine I like to hold you there At a quarter to nine Look at our residue Drinking turpentine I’ll always remember you Were never on time But I could be anywhere And I could be fine I could be in your hair Like a radio line We could be debonair Ignore all the signs We could be anywhere Listen for echoes back To know if I’m trying Watching you float away And kept what was mine You’ll fly away again To endlessly find You’ll run away and then I’ll forget that you’re mine But I could be anywhere And I could be fine Night from the daytime blue We’re just trailing behind Daffodil cigarettes Never hurt by design And if we never go nowhere I’ll keep on this line And if we go everywhere Then we’ll never arrive And I’ll never reconcile These thoughts in my mind They’re never worth my while These endless designs Darling there’s no one there We could be any time Darling I’ll always fail To make the pages align We could just fall apart And you could be mine

Grow 11:42
Part 1: All Apart 1A. Music feels like games we play And now I know the rules You ran the chord to light you up And love to keep you cool I could be a plumber If I’d had such faith in art I’m such an absolutist Cause the rest is all so bland 1B. We slip intro atrocity And fill our mouths with sand Just not to be you My eyes are open to live in streetlights Could someone ever believe I loved you too soon For half the night we could be together For half the night we could blow a hole On the moon 1C. I always thought we’d grow up together Now maybe we’ll grow all apart And that’s okay too I always wanted to live together I always wanted your eyes To shine on the moon I close my eyes where we’ll be together And baby we do fall apart To find ourselves new You always said we’d throw up together And maybe we’ll never know art And is that okay too? 1D. I was alright where we hid together I wish that being in love was Something to do I was alright when we hid together From knowing we could have love For somebody new I was alright where we hid together From knowing that we forgot the things That we knew 1E. My bearded uncle is taking pictures Faking days and a microscopic Platoon The bourbon stank in the room together My pockets dragged and your eyelids Started to swoon I’m up all night like a rolling over Thick with coffee that’s always Pouring too soon And blow the smoke in your open eyes My teeth will rot and your tears Will fall on the moon I start to scream where we fall together You rush my eyes and you push a pen In the wound You call me loud when I call you quiet I’ll scream too much til my words Alight on the moon 1F. I’ll never change when I'm all afraid Of something as scary as losing What I had in you I always thought you were in the middle Before my hand and beneath the smoke In my room We’re up all night and we’re all hung over And there’s just so much Growing up to do We smoked all night and we’re all hung over We ran it right and we thought About it too soon We’re up all night and we’re all hung over We loved too much and we fought About it too soon Part 2: On The Line (Possession) We’ll still just keep on growing on the line Possession feels so long after a time It’s jealous and it’s cheap and mottled wine will fill you up We’ll still just keep on saying that you’re mine Possession feels like summer and resign We’re heavy like a rocket, all these lies could hold us up Intersecting sockets, little eyes can fill me up I found you in my locket and I’m wrong to lift you up Forgotten in my pockets all the lines could fill us up We’ll still just keep on growing on the line Possession feels so long after a time We’re pressure into beats and all this wine could fill you up We’ll still just keep on saying that you’re mine Possession feels like summer and resign I’m vintage like an artist and I’m wrong to lift you up Part 3: Into You I’m sorry I couldn’t grow into you I’m sorry I couldn’t grow into you One day we will grow And we’ll watch the parade And we’ll know what we knew And I wish that I had fallen into you I wish I had forgotten what I knew One day we will grow And we’ll watch the parade And one day you will know How much I’m afraid Not to fall into you But I’m sorry I couldn’t grow into you And I’m sorry I couldn’t dream harder than you One day in the cold I’ll freeze on my face And I’ll run to the snow Falling back to embrace All the dreams that we knew But I’m sorry I didn’t fall into you And I’ll imitate myself reflecting you One day we’ll combust Forget to complain Forget how to rust And buy me a plane And fly to the dust And oil the rain Stuck between me and you I’m sorry I always sing the same as you I’m sorry I always sound the same to you I’m sorry I didn’t fall into you You’ll call me too bland And I’ll call you a spade Hear my left hand Across the parade The merry-go-round’s Addicting refrain Didn’t grow into you And I’m sorry I didn’t fall into you For the first time I’d like to be contented too And maybe I could be an ocean too

I’ll never be the same You’ll not forget my name We’ll be a traffic lane Know that I’m never the one To be circled in sun I’m never the one, my darling I’ll never be the same You’ll not forget my name We’ll be a traffic lane Wrapped up in cellophane The tinsel shined bright At the back of his neck And the river of white That electrically let Us keep singing without you, darling I’ll never be the same You’ll not forget my name We’ll be a traffic lane Wrapped up in cellophane Dead in the sugar cane We live in third person Where there’s nothing is real You live in a body That just hides how you feel And I live in a rooftop That’s all covered in steel Reflecting each way, my darling There’s nothing like first It's never so fast I’m thrown on the wheel I’m yours like the last I never could feel For sure that it’s past I’m small at your feet I'm tied to the mast Missing you closer to me, my darling

We tend to turn around Repeat the things we say I’ll be the evergreen I love what no one knows The anchor in my leg The little lips that destroy you So far away I’ll be the evergreen Ignore the falling arms They weakly disappear And I’d run so far To do the things we said But not the things we loved That fade from gray to red You watch and you wait People run circles they don’t understand Here on the rooftops you cease and desist I need a magnet appear on the land Here on the rooftops where I can’t resist Somebody don’t what you don’t understand Foolish above me, in your arms Fix a leak inside yourself One day you’ll wait Don’t ever wait And I’ll be the evergreen While these trains set sail And darker stoops erupt With empty mail My time is turn around Repeat the things we say An anchor for my leg But I’ll never be like them I’ll always fall again They’ll count from one to ten They run through frozen air While I’m just naked there For so much loving you And so much time away So far You watch and you wait People make routines they don’t understand I need a living that I can’t resist I need a magnet appear on the land Here on the rooftops you’ll always be missed Somebody force me to be what I planned Somebody force me to force down this land Somebody force me to live what I can Somebody don’t what you don’t understand Foolish above me, in your arms Why would I ever hold you down? Why would they ever hold you down?

Corners 13:05
I’d like to be where I’m real and under And I’ll be below you each time I wonder Where I watch you write only in the thunder I’ll be below you each time I wonder I’d like to be where I’m real and under And where you’re always right— Where do these lines go with you? Where does this time go with you? I’ll never be the things you want Stability, a metal block Forever secrets hold in you Simplicity, alone and new You’ll find me in the corners, dear Please take me from the corners near You'll find me on the platforms still I’ll run so far, I hope you will In olive oil, in dusty clouds In the trailer parks, in the foreign towns And really I’m a lot like you I’m afraid to change while I’m loving you Like an ever clear with a younger few Will you feed me knives newer than the new All the mess I fixed, what we must redo Every single week, every season soon And I want to hate what I used to do And I want to hate what I used to do I’ll always love like misunderstanding I’ll always love her like wolves I stand in I’ll always love her like knives I hand in I’m always wishing with all abandon Will you always love me with such abandon?
