you're looking through me
is there something in my eye
are you real or are you fiction
in my stomach there's a fire
and you can get what you want
nearly fell to the floor
i think i want to know you more
i'll keep beginnings
like an insect bottled up
i'm uncertain of your intentions
in your headlights i've been stuck
and you know that
i'd like to tell you
we can go to the start
we can drive in your car
flying past all the cows
i could just hand around
i don't see you around
anymore
anyhow
you can get what you want
nearly fell to the floor
ok
it's spinning in
my head is suspended by a thread
hangs over the fire
chars my skin
the life in your breath
i'm breathing in

Down

you're building
a towering wall
a few more
bricks and it might fall
look over
can you see me now
look over
i think i prefer the view from before
please take it down

I've Seen The Moon
02:31
|
|||
|
flowers and weeds
through the cracks i've seen them peak
so polite and sweet
single file in the summer heat
you're under a tree
by a cemetery
in my memory
you are there holding onto me
it's a lovely life
i was born with a thorn in my side
i took out that loan
now i feel it in my bones
where i felt the sky
tiny fragments in your eye
i have seen the moon
shiny rock that i wish i gave you

I'm Peeled
02:58

a fight broke out in the prison yard
big Cheryl took a spoon to the guard
i was watching from atop your bunk
i don't want to go outside
but i'd like it if you
invited me to
we were lying by the only tree
within one thousand square feet
and i could tell that you were doubting me
i smiled and then i told you
i'd like it
if you
reminded
me to
remember how it feels
when i'm with you
and i'm peeled
i'm an orange
i am peeled

Up Your Sleeve (Moth)
05:37
|

|
up your sleeve
i'd like to be
like the others
i like how they talk
it's a garden
of things that i'm not
treasure chest
of words unsaid
i've washed my hands
and i want to go home
but i saw you
i guess there's that
and you saw me
i guess there's that
and it spins me
like silk from a moth
it's a sad thing
to love what you're not

morels grown in the woods in Michigan
i used to cook them for you when you were a little kid
i haven't been into the woods since i got here
don't really have a good reason to get out of bed
when i see you i'll say boy how you've gotten tall
you've got my hair i never thought that it would be this long
for seven years i've been sitting here waiting for your call
i know it's gonna come i know it's gonna come
and i'd like to tell you where i am
i'd like to tell you about my work
show you a couple pictures of my house
shoebox but i'm small so i make it work
tell you about some records that you might've heard
tell you all about the nature of your birth
you were the easiest of my three kids
i held you tightly in my arms until you left them
i wanna ask you if you're still playing you're guitar
i wanna ask you if you're taking care of the dog
i wanna ask you if you've got a girlfriend
i heard you're learning how to play my violin
i wanna tell you it's been two years since i kicked
and i'd like to tell you where i am

we drove down to some empty park
you're so sweet i'm sick in the car
and i froze
as i watched you take off your clothes
cause i know
something that you do not know
i want everything

Muffins

walked into the home
freeze dried with an itch in my nose
you were on the phone
still working on your manifesto
i will never know
i think i did a really bad thing
turned it outside in
came to and i crawled in my skin
i've gotta find something better

i'm sad today
take your time
i'll be fine
on my own
goldeneye
apple pie
take me home
it's my life
i've been tired
for too long
closed my eyes
flew too high
ate the sun
and i'm sad today

i wish i told you
what it adds up to
please take me with you
please take me with you
and you won't ever change what you are
a headlight on a car that's what you are
as snow falls in the wake of what you cause
i won't stand in the way of what you are

outside your room
quiet as a tomb
trick of the light
saw you tonight
it's time to go
