baby

go tell the bees
you saw me
on my knees
giving, giving
dripping sweat beads
like resin
from the tree
smelling sweet
i can't take the heat
baby, you're burning
it's getting me
baby, you're burning
sneak away
to the stream
naked, swimming,
you're kissing me
but i can't take the heat
baby, you're burning
it's all consuming
baby, you're burning

never tell
04:29

i hold your gaze
stuck on your face
and you see me, too
you make your excuse
i touch your head
wonder how you felt
but you never tell
you never tell
you keep your secrets
always retreating
you keep your secrets
quiet hearts still beating
scream it to the morning sun
there's some shit i can't tell anyone
then i go back in
pretend like nothing's happening
i keep my secrets
quiet hearts still beating
i keep my secrets
but you can see them
in my eyes
in my eyes
i touch hold your gaze
try to tell you to your face

exoskeleton
05:27

|

held me up by my hands
you took me for a walk
saw that green turtle
sunbathing on a rock
i saw him sleeping then he
showed up in my dreams
i couldn't tell you
exactly what it means
back in, you wrap your arms
under my chin
fit me so perfectly
my exoskeleton
like flowing water
turn a bed into a stream
without you, babe, i
am nothing
started sleeping with a knife
next to my bed
and it's up to you whether
i'm alive or dead
i'd never hurt you, babe
just a warning
that without you, i
am nothing
you went alone that day
you couldn't lift me up
came home with all your tears
collected in a cup
said that green turtle had been ripped
right out of his shell
said it wasn't you,
it's not a parallel
like flowing water
turns a bed into a stream
without you, babe, i
am nothing
i'd never hurt you, babe,
just a warning
that without you, i
am nothing

night owl

night owl
cried out
need time out
night eyes
do you tell little lies?
desensitized
light out
i keep an eye out
trying to hide now
it never lived up
why don't you give up?

signals
03:48
|
|

i've got a great imagination
overworked in desperation
i wanna know what you're thinking
i wanna know
but your eyes are not a window
i keep gazing into them though
i wanna know
maybe i don't
are your signals mixed
or my head twisted?
you stared back at me
you thought i missed it
but i didn't
i didn't
i put myself in this position
cause i could live on just the wishing
you gotta know
somehow you don't
not sure what is my expectation
this problem of my own creation
i don't know what i'm thinking
i don't know
are your signals mixed
or my head twisted?
you stared back at me
you thought i missed it
but i didn't
i didn't
i didn't
i didn't

monomaniac
02:53
|
|

can i take it back?
that year and a half
stuck on this track
it's not the time, not the time, not the time
it's just a setback
something to unpack
monomaniac
but i'm fine, i'm fine, i'm fine, yeah i'm fine
i overslept
woke up and wept
you've come to expect
i turn on a dime, on a dime, on dime
there's a disconnect
or i'm caught in a trap
dissolve into ash
in my mind, in my mind, my mind, my mind
can i take it back?
it's not the time, not the time, not the time, not the time
not the time

all the real
03:24
|
|
||
what i have been
up to now
since then
heart always evolving
what i have seen
all the real
and the screens
grasp always dissolving
how i have felt
overworked
overwhelmed
a life that's so involving
what lies between
all the real
and my dreams
paths always evolving

forgotten
04:16
|
|

bristles pressing on my scalp
letting all the tangles out
she used to brush it all for me
hold my head so tenderly
fallen strands stuck to my socks
leaning on countertops
and almost every end is split
can't help but pull at all of it
brushing my hair
brushing my hair
in a staring contest with the mirror
looking close doesn't make it any clearer
do i see myself or do i see you?
the cycle always continues
holding me there
holding me there
holding me there
holding me there
all is knotted
unties, unties
all is forgotten
it dies, dies, dies
it all dies, dies, dies

flickers

mama's waiting up
as night skies watch us smoke
so i take the light
ignite it nice and slow
waiting for the time
to show, show
cobwebbed relics of mine
disguised by golden hopes
do i have to go?
the porch light flickered on
do i have to go?
the porch light flickers on
bowing still arms
i won't be soft tomorrow
moments trailing on
but the raven stole my throat
shadows lengthen and swallow
passersby and dirty look
i somehow feel less hollow
hiding out with you at the brooks
do i have to go?
the porch light flickered on
if i don't tell you, will you know?
the porch light flickers on
mama's waiting up
as the sunrise walks us home
and i held on to that light
it's my own

trailing
03:48
|
|
||
elderflower twinkle
against a darkened sky
crow's foot wrinkles
leading to your eyes
shuffle through the garden
singing to the lamb
colder in the evening
there i caught your hand
like plantain on a sting
you're a salve for my soul
i'll be trailing
wherever you go
leaping in the stream
pockets full of quarts
fingers wandering
the hem of my shorts
smoking with the dawn
hidden in the leaves
softly, softly
open to receive
like plantain on a sting
you're a salve for my soul
i'll be trailing
wherever you go
