Come over tonight.
It's too hot outside.
In the day it's too bright.
The sidewalks are full of strangers
and I feel small
and I feel like I'm being watched.
I don't want to be alone when I dream.

In Flannel

You will take your first breaths
as a real man
without stuttering
without crying
You will not be overwhelmed
by how big the world is
you will take it all in
your stride
Picture change
Picture how strong you will be
knowing the lows
better than anyone else
It's not a competition
but you should treat it like it is
lord knows you don't
want to come in last
You will take your first steps
on this ugly earth
You will take your secrets
to the grave
Nobody has to know
that you were weak once
nobody has to know
how close you came
in autum
in flannel
why did it have to die

home alone
the doors are locked
the radio is fading out
the neighbors are
always too loud
they're crying or they're making out
thunder came in dreams again
I bled as much as I forget
there's a pile of letters
that I get
most of them lie
untouched and unopened
they all say
the same thing
"I want to improve myself"
"I want to get clean"
Me I still confuse
the memories with my dreams
thunder came in dreams again
I bled as much as I forget

The Bad Year
05:12
|

Don't get lost
on your way to the park
don't forget
the evidence
burry it
under a
statue of
dead presidents
move on
cross the border
don't call anyone
don't stop
from here on out
the world you knew
was lost

bone eater
bone eater
mask of ashes
from a thousand fires
hits come fast and hard
relief never came
neutral to a fault
these memories remain
bone eater
bone eater
mask of ashes
from a thousand fires
nothing will change
nothing will change
nothing will change
nothing will change
bone eater
bone eater
mask of ashes
from a thousand fires
god save your fragile heart
god save your fragile heart
it cant happen here
no it wont happen here
will you run (run)
will you run (run)
will you give up?
will you give up?

Burned every book I had
and every picture of me
on the trail that led to the woods
on a pile / on an abandoned boxspring
the trains rolled on
the kids stayed out too late
and I waited like I used to
on Sandlewood and then it started to rain
I tried to make real end
to the trails on route one that we left
on the beach
in my bed
I tried
to burry it

Dial L-O-V-E
05:54
|
|||
You've got a limp when you walk
and you stutter and sigh
your bones ache in the cold
and you're still afraid in the night
There is nothing out there
but here my arms are for you
these arms will work themselves raw
and I'll do whatever I have to
Dial L-O-V-E
Don't hang up. Don't leave me hung up.
When I have my dips
When I stumble and trip
I know I can count on your tenderness
Sometimes I feel
like it's the only steady thing
aside from the nightmares
and the fears in me
Dial L-O-V-E
Don't hang up. Don't leave me hung up.

Blood
07:41
|
|||
in the empty room
trying to block out the sounds from the hall
the cries of
generation after generation of mistrust
the empty house is never really empty at all
a presence will always be there filling it up
along with the morning letters
the sirens and horns and cars placing fault
the empty halls breath with stale love
shaking and moving and never getting out
I see sober eyes in the stars tonight
they were never close enough to touch
the trails by the parkside used to lead to the beach
they parallel the maps of bruises that cover me
I know it's hard to follow
it's harder to forget once you've been there
Blood Exiting
Blood is inside me
Nothing but blood
(repeated til end)

From A Mountain

From the mountain
I covered up the world with my hand
life below
Lights of a television
A police car
You are going to a hospital alone.
And I wanted to be there with you
and remain invisible

I Am Not Into It
04:14
|

dont like the way
i feel today
I used to not
feel anything
was dumber then
i had less regrets
now everyone says
don't look back
I am not
into it
I am not
into it
some light could be
a welcome change
i could purge myself
of the bitter things
but i cannot shake
these bad feelings
i feel like it's
a warning
I am not
into it
I am not
into it

The year is coming to an end
and I have nothing to show for it.
I have papers and bills. I have checks.
I lived every day safely away from the edge.
oh the angst of living lower-middle-class
and being raised to believe that nothing ever lasts
fear, work, regret and death
are the only real constants
I want to sleep peacefully
I want to sleep and not dream
It's best to go at it alone.
and not drag anyone into your sorted mess
I tried with all of the blood I have
I think I tried my best.
I want to sleep peacefully
I want to sleep and not dream

No Wounds
No Bruises
No casts
No bandages
No blood because
where we’re going no one gets hurt
No blood because
where we’re going no one gets hurt
Perfect skin forever
Baby you’ll have the strongest bones
No stretchers
No syringes
Only sweet dreams
where nobody gets hurt
Only sweet memories
without the cuts and the burns

Holding
06:26

the static
the dial tone
the messages
the cell phones
the meetings
the ex’s
the meetings
the meetings
the payments
the sunsets
the morning doves
and the pavement
the nosebleeds
the accidents
the summer and
its promises
the romance
the first kiss
the flirting
and the darkness
the touching
the street lights
the breathing
the locked eyes
rip tide
bonfires
swimming and
drowning
dancing
funerals
the hand that grips
and the hand that holds
waking up alone

Without a compass.
Without direction.
It brings you down.
The curse is real.
It can’t be lifted.
Blood comes and goes.
Blood comes and goes from me.

Twenty Eight
03:20
|

I fix myself up
got myself a new pair of shoes
I clean myself off
and I am ready for the new
the world was on fire
and all I did was sleep it off
I wasn’t impressed
I wasn’t engaged
I wasn’t into it
but I guess I’ll give it another try

Witness

Lock the windows
leave the TV on
make it seem like
there is someone home
come to the garage
load up the car
before it gets dark
this is it
this is the cut off
from here on out
we are pushing our luck
Dont leave any notes
don’t make it look rushed
don’t leave anything for anyone
leave the pictures on the frames
on the windowsill
take the phone off the hook
take the phone off the hook
this is it
this is the cut off
from here on out
we are pushing our luck

The Future Is Here
03:54
|

Everything moves so fast
and i can’t focus
I think about death a lot
and every wasted moment
the future’s here
the future’s here
and I’m not ready
I want to love and try so many things
but I lack the bravery
you are probably
the only thing
that I don’t regret
I hope that I can provide
everything you ever wanted
because you bring a little light
in the darkness
the future’s here
the future’s here
and I’m not ready
I want to love and try so many things
but I lack the bravery
you are probably
the only thing
that I don’t regret

So Scared
03:19
|
|||
Believe anything
believe anything you want
I can’t prove it wrong
If it produces beauty
if it comes from honesty
if it comes from the heart
some folks don’t care
but I am so scared
sometimes
I want heaven now
so bad it hurts
other times i wanna hide
somewhere safe inside
a secret room while the world burns
some folks don’t care
but I am so scared

in snow. silk.
forever well.

marble cool halls
forever well
forever well
forever well
forever well
