Great Days

He can
Talk in his sleep
Convince me to read
The lines of color on the blinds
We're so behind
In our race to beat time
To win this game of hide and seek
We play in the lost and found
Without a sound
Choosing the props
For the final great days of our lives
He can
Try protect them all from their future
Shielding the past from human nature
Holding the leash a little tighter
Hiding the truth that makes you want power
Rest your burden
They're all so eager
To take it on

Seven miles is enough
To break a sweat
And show you that
You are alive
Then in time
You'll shed your skin
And get high under
The yellow lights
Eleven times
I'll call your phone
Without an answer
I don't mind
Cause every time
I get to hear your voice
Announcing that you're
Not around

Breeze
01:48
|
|||
Open the windows
Bring in the breeze
The musty winter air
now has to leave
And it's no wonder
That green is the color of your day
Open the door with hot pepper high
Cold water hits the throat like air
Fill up your lungs while you can
It leaves faster than it came
Try so hard I end up tying my own hands
There's only one place for a man
Temperature's rising
It's time to plant the garden

Dancing for Hours
02:36
|
|||
I can see the rain coming
Down the window
Making rivers and islands
Of hope
I can see the rain out my
Open window
Soaking the naked flowers
Dancing for hours

Eyes Like Questions
02:27
|
|||
Flood gates to be played with
You are the instrument
You crazy child
It's time we make friends with our bullies
Eyes like questions
Marked with gold
Black robes would fit the occasion
When you look in my direction
What will you do once
You're on your island
With everything you want
Will you still care
Will there be a bird or a snake
to charm you
Where's the end
Where did it begin
Can you put your finger on
The note that rings the loudest
Can they hear you from the towers
you will never get to climb
It's better on the ground anyway
With our faces in the flowers
And our ears to each other's mouths
We'll recollect the stories
We didn't get to share
And we'll go to sleep knowing
We're really,
We're all the way there

Paper Rain
02:36
|
|||
Indiscernible white flakes
White sky
Frail air
As a body without a way
Ungrounded
Leaks
The body's open red bath
Bruised arms
Packed with gravel
And resewn
White buttoned Adam's apple
Tightly talking
Across a table
Cinder block space
Stretched heavy
Into white notes
|

The Highest Authority
02:22
|
|||
He sits above the rest of us
And only he knows
How uncertain his conviction's become
You came along
And proved the point
That objective truth is not
And there she stands waiting
For a thousand years
|
||||

Here
01:57
|
|||
This makes me feel like you are here
Cause this is how it feels
When I feel like you're here
|

Grateful
01:35
|
|||
Grateful like a hug
As it turns to an embrace
|

Words
02:28
|
|||
Words
A telling puzzle
Which word is wick
Wick is which word
His words
Mine
The Easter sky faulting
One day before April
I woke up seven times
Find me a place to rest my head
Dad said
A spot that will not
|

Headlights
01:23
|
|||
You may not have noticed
But you've got a headlight out
You're breaking the law
It's getting harder to follow you
The lumens you're sending
I just keep pretending
Standing ovations white hot lights
Turn to blue
