[Verse 1] How we all spill out of the earth? Naked like sick birds Uncomfortable with words Visceral and unfurled like blood feathers under the skin I’m in a state again, but I stay polite I stay polite [Chorus 1] It keeps me alive It keeps me alive It’s easier, right? [Verse 2] And the state washes over me And the dust from the cars and the...Learn More

[Verse 1] Another couple weeks go by and the creek gets higher I'm getting covered up in bites The bugs'll suck you dry up here [Verse 2] There's a notch on the tip of my tongue No warning hiss before it spits Can I suck it back in, all the things I've ever said? I make a cross with the nail on my thumb to stop the itch but it persists And I make...Learn More

Mary, I noticed you In your chariot, heartless Tearing to ribbons my view of 95 And weary, I know it's you From the shape of your eyelids And the rumors that swirl around your feet like mercury Please, please throw your mercy at me And all my earthly things To your feet, I merely bring After the argument After speeding through sheets of ice You...Learn More

[Verse 1] A pinprick of light A twenty to shutter my blackout panels The monitor rises and falls, should I call them in? Roaring stoic That I am, might I been more to you What would you have done to yourself then?

[Verse 1] Fumbling for your keys in a panic Undercover garage is dampening the sound of the world walking tall all over you And taking you for granted Your sunset's dipping in subtle time And mine was hanging low hours ago And although you think you’d burned it up too bad you still could call And I know you're hopeful when you are unadorned But I...Learn More

No one knows me in the store Penniless me Another boring customer Frivolously lingering at the soda fridge Fingering through the rows of chips While the transporters transport To eyes or hands And all my grievance ambulating I pull in, spinning lights as I watch them go Lowered eyes and an offhand joke Parliaments and a Diet Coke Parliaments and a...Learn More

[Chorus] I can't stand still Lay me down on the unrelenting ground And let this sandstorm cover me [Verse] I was surrounded by a red and yellow sky And as it fell, I said to myself “I was meant to be in flight” And I was cemented by a sedentary tide You lied when you went and said maybe one more goddamn time Don't insult me now, I can take it Go...Learn More

Half moon eyes Cup my head in your haunted halls Up against every wall Please don't think about me Half moon eyes By the hair wish you'd walk me out Cut the tether at the scalp Please don't think about me And just now it seems For a minute, I watch the scenery in detail just to say That it didn't matter whether we were sleeping or awake I lucid...Learn More

[Verse 1] Nothing creeps like measured time And nothing brings you to your knees quite like it when it's right The shaking ground once beat you, back out, no ringing bells And we can only blame ourselves [Verse 2] No one teaches you to breathe Slow and feeble like the people that we said we'd never be The vulgar kind, fool become august then...Learn More
