Birds eye, birds eye
Birds eye view
I’ve got one long arrow pointed at you
Ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, too
Heat and steam are the source of the stew
Heat and steam are the source of the stew
I wish there, wish there were a token
I could give you, I could give you for the passage
Leaving, leaving this form opened
Your skin, your flesh, your heart, you break open
Your skin, your flesh, your heart open
With hands outstretched
I forgive you
I forgive you
I wish there were something
I could give you
I forgive you
Your skin, your flesh, you break open
I forgive you
I forgive you
I forgive you

My best friend needs
Something more than I can give, uh huh
Something more than I can give, okay
Something more than I can give
Standard copy
Type it out, box and lid, uh huh
Hold it close, investment, alright
Staring through your eyelids
And I see the blue lines dancing
In the back streets,
Lights are out, you pass it, uh huh
Pull over, you will sit, blurry
Seeing two, seeing three, okay
Fight, fight, flight
Over hill over water
Wait, wait, right, stop, right
Stop like water
Like water inside
Water rushing inside
Through the seams through the lights
Through the holes in your sides
Water’s here in you
It is here in me too
Water’s here
Water’s you
Water’s in me
It’s the blue lines dancing through you
My best friend needs
Something more than I can give, uh huh
Something more than I can give, alright
Something more than I can give
My best friend needs

Dizzy Spin

Gonna be there when it rains
Be there when it stops
This is ours now
And I don’t deserve it
I always wanted to be kind
I wanted to be your wisdom
Of the silence
Of your solitude
And this is ours now, this is mine
And I don’t deserve it
I can’t take it
I can’t take it in
I let my feet sink deep into the rain, the earth
You caught this one alone in a dizzy spin
Alone in a dizzy spin
Alone in a dizzy spin
Alone in a dizzy spin
Alone in a dizzy spin
Alone in a dizzy spin

Millenia
02:33
|
|||
|
Flaming heart, flaming tire
Flaming leap through the fire
Through the coil, burning pyre
You are wind, you’re desire
You are stems and leaves and washed out streets
And riverbeds dry for years, then flooded in mere seconds
Full to the brim over sand, broken glass
Shards of plates and aluminum cans shining light
Light, light, light out from the earth, from the tan, from the brown
reeds dried out, once green, now found drowned under the rush
I type in one word press search
I find Millenia is a town in Florida,
A neighborhood with a dark blue sky and bright lights
Illuminating stucco, Roman style architecture of a Cheesecake Factory
And I think about what it means
To be seen in this time, in these years
When a word as expansive and central as millenia
Is referenced in such a strange fractal of the most particular kind of present moment that I can conjure up in my small mind
The referencing of the referencing of the referencing
Of time
And the fractalizing nature of authenticity
You need me, too
I know you do
I need you too

Lonely, Cold Seed
03:51
|
|||
|
Sit in the wake and watch me grow
Sit in the wake and watch me grow
Three wings from my back
Three wings of a feather flight
To take off, to take off, to take off
Red, black, and orange beak
Stares back through
my window at me
Perched on a birch tree
Perched on the limb of
A birch tree, a birch tree, a birch tree
Who who are you today
Who who are you today
Who who are you today
Who who are you going to be
Who who can find root here
Who who can find root here
All I can see are branches that spread out
All I can see branches that leave
You lonely,
Lonely, cold seed
Lonely, lonely, cold seed

Talking to Angel
You’ve got something in your pocket
A small knife, and some lint
Swam out far enough to watch you grow
There is always a reason
You’re going to find it, you’re going feel something
And I don’t have to be your love
This time, you’re moving through it
You’ve found a way out and you’re going to keep it close
This time you’re clean, between, and you’ll
Be sparkling even through the chaos
Float into the room, mean it,
I mean it, I think you’re onto something
A chariot, a cherry, sweet, round, and heavy
Nailed in whole wood, rounded belly
Water, water, dripping, swollen
Love it always
Light it, light it
Love it always
A chariot, a cherry, sweet, round, and heavy
Nailed in whole wood, rounded belly
Water, water, dripping, swollen
Love it always
Light it, light it,
Water always

Lightness is Loud
02:17

Cold wind, candles are out
Glowing in the darkness, lightness is loud
Your hands, smooth and held out
I try to grab them,
Lightness is loud
Your lightness is loud
Coral, coral, snake snake
Curl inside me
Soft wool, rough blue
Pearl inside you
Coral coral snake snake
Pearl inside me
Soft wool, rough blue
Pearl inside you
Space themed in the bathroom
Paper mache with lightness inside
Star shaped, planet and moon
Floating in the darkness, vacuum of sound
I am trying to hear you
Open up, lightness abound
I am trying to hear you
But your lightness is loud
Your lightness is loud

Old oak grove
Grow, standing on a ledge
Looking in
I long to
Be someone new
Who never said that to you
Fall by the
State line you stand
Looking in
With your baby in hand
I want nothing more
Stand closer
I asked her how do you love
Someone who hurts you so much
I asked slowly
I can’t breathe out
This time
Now that I’m losing
You stepped out of the line
Get out of my mind

Rocket

Lightning out ahead
Wait inside the house
Rain sounds like a scream
You like it when I’m close
Even with the weight of changes
Falling out of time
Bright and open
Flashes in the sky
Rocket far away
Blasted to the sky
Even where I lay
I can see its light
I can see its light
I can see its light
I can see its light
I can see its light

Good To See You

It’s a good day now
It’s good to see you
It’s a good day
I am walking with my friend
In the fall air
It’s good to see you
It’s good, good to see you…
We’re getting older now
Getting older, how?
I want to be nice
I want to be nice now
It’s good to see you
It’s good, good to see you…
It’s a good day
I am walking with my friend
In the fall air
It’s good to see you now

Ella’s from somewhere else
You see her and you know
That you’re slipping through the felt
Through the seams of the place and the pain
I feel the pain of it sideways like a kiss, stellar rays
Like a beached whale, spaceship, black hole somewhere orbiting away
Ella takes me to the place
We first met in the cornfield, NotACornfield, eating snacks
Snakebite sister, mother, sister, I have lost what I kept
Five years old, five years ago, I first loved you
Your eyes like I’ve known them forever
I’ve nothing like I know you
Ella takes me to the flatness of the loss
How the comfort of your touch now
Is a trigger without cause
How trusting, even knowing you is dangerous in my heart
I’m not able to keep constant, to keep on
In the magic, I found wonder, I found fear
In this room now, I still see him standing closer as I scream
Ella takes me in her stillness to the stream
Where you jumped in, fully submerged
And I felt inside a dream
Like I’ve known you, like you’re family, like I’m here
Ella takes me to the place we said goodbye
If I’d known it was the last time, I don’t know if I’d cry
Maybe I’d say something about what you mean
How even though we’ve reconnected, your loss ripped open the seams
Leaving nothing, just a vastness, in between
Now I feel like I am scifi, I am porous, I am mean
I want to go back to our mom’s porch and scream
You’re my brother, you’re my family, you are everything to me
You’re my brother, you’re my family, you are everything to me

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks.
