healthy somethings

pass the time
to some different kind
of place
and I hope past some line
I won't care for whats outside
and when I hold my life I'll find it very light
no softer than stone
I don't want to feel all I want to hold
time sews a silk of sulking
its strewn on healthy somethings
that don't want to go
it always comes hulking
its cupped hands whisper nothings
into a longing ear

rather not do

up high I take a look around and ask myself
if I fell where would I hit the ground
driving down one of two lanes
and as the other car comes towards me
I realize that people die this way
cause in your head there's something
something that just wants to unmake your bed
and slide up next to you
and its true there's nothing
nothing you would rather have it not do
up high I take a look around and I tell myself
if I fell I'd probably hit the ground
outside thinking fresh air can distill me
I see a man and think
oh this man is definitely here to kill me

hey
Im a heavy hearted bull
you're a matador
hey
Im heavy handed knock
at the door
hey
Im a badly blended hare
on your lawn
hey
you're a puzzling one
I don't know how to act around

closed up in his bed
he doesn't cry in his bed
he gets tired when the sun hits his head
and I admire just how he tastes every breath
cause he's a body
he's a body
that knows
that knows
not to love much of anyone

christmas lake
04:11
|

oh no
i want to go home
and every second
weighs even more
than the last
only a minutes passed
the only son
of an hour glass
is this what you want to be doing
is this what you want to be doing
I'll take you down to the christmas lake
to the christmas lake
well it just keeps on giving so you don't have to take
don't have to take
anymore
anymore of you
he says come in
well he says he's been thinking about you all day
what a thoughtful soul!
and a pitiful love all over again
cause in your bones
the marrow feels so alone
you're enclosed
but never comfortable
is this where you want to be sleeping
is this who you want to be seeing
I'll take you down to the christmas lake
to the christmas lake
well it just keeps on giving so you don't have too take
you don't have to take
I'll take you down to the christmas lake
to the christmas lake
soft, fluid and there
all for your own sake

one of many
04:02
|
|||
oh they come and go
press down on your spine
and you sigh out a note
just one of many kinds
well you step out
past a lovers line
and it's just one
just one
just one of many times
I'm one of many
that sits and soaks
with plenty
of days to spare

grains
04:07
|
|||
put a foot on me because I want to
be under your feet while you walk through town
i want to be mixed up with cement and
laid out in the sun to dry and set and
never move again
a sentiment for the sediment
and wouldn't it be just oh so sweet?
I wouldn't mind being in the ground
fully alive to sing settled sounds quietly
so throw it on my chest off of my mind
one nesting press to slow my stride

walking backwards
04:24
|
|||
when you aren't looking
I hide your stuff
when you aren't looking
I hide your stuff
and I do it, well,
just because
I want to help you find it
make you look at me in spite of
everyone else
oh but here's what I'll do
I'll walk backwards in hopes that I
run into you
