Wind in the City
02:08
|

there is no wind in the city
there are no stars in between
and when the summer comes,
falling down, it brings rain
and water on the leaves
there is no wind in the city
there are no dreams when you sleep
and when the night comes,
falling down, it gets dark
darker
than before
(i see the headlights become the parking lot)

open eyes
spreading wide
open eyes
can’t be closed tight
blue light on the inside
coming from the blinds
at midnight
(the pool is full of ghosts)
i’ll sit down in the driver’s seat
crank the AC
and turn the key
open roads i’m coming home,
even if i’ve got nowhere to go
(the roads are full of flood)

Recent Thunder
01:28
|

i fell down the rabbit’s hole
when i left like i had somewhere to go
when i changed my name
i became part of the big broad anything,
recent thunder
with you unmade
you cut my hair
with my own switchblade,
recent thunder

Water
02:32
|
|||
pick up the phone and
say my name and
i’ll be on my way,
tomorrow i'll be there today
while your were resting
i was out making friends
i met some see-through men
with eyes like champagne
teeth bared like a stray
it made water in my eyes
you said you knew
where the waterfall begins
but do you know
where the pavement ends?
cuz i need to find my peace
i gotta let the ghost go free
and become away from me

Further From You
02:43
|
|||
keep driving on
find a place to get gone
the further you get from the city
you may hear the waterfall
(waterfall)
how can i disappear
when no one saw me first,
always unclear,
how can i shut my mouth
when bullshit
just keeps coming out
drive ’til you hit the fork in the road
drive ’til you can't hear the groan
i don’t wanna go that way
the footprints will lead you astray
they will make you alone,
not with me, i mean actually alone
if i could become the things
i can’t even dream up,
i could be anything outside of me
drive ’til you feel it in your bones
drive ’til you can't hear the phone

Anything
03:47
|
|||
fuck being here, fuck being anywhere
i’m always lonely, somehow inside myself
the lights blind the elms
i’m not myself, you’re not yourself
undo your belt, your seat belt,
turn off the car
walk through the marsh
turn off your phone, be alone
(it’s beautiful)
do you want the truth?
i believe in you
i’m always lonely,
somehow inside myself
i'm not you, you're not me
we're anything

your facebook friends don’t love you,
they would eat you like the vultures
(if they could)
why is everybody fucking
when fucking feels like torture
(if i would)
i’ve loved you once before
but you already knew that
if i could love you like before
i wouldn’t have to say that
i slept in the tent with you beneath the moon,
you woke up and saw horses
we drove in your truck (nice as fuck)
but now i’m in the forest
inside a giant’s chest
i’ve loved like a whore
now i love like a pest
i’m haunted by the living
i’m haunted by the telephone
i’m haunted by my access
praise the lord i'll be a ghost
and when i leave this world
when we are astronauts
i’ll tell you that i love you
just in case you forgot
and when i leave this world
and my body stays behind
and i evaporate
praise the lord i'll be alive

Future Life Song
03:29
|

the easel is outside
he’s painting in the light
he’s got acrylic on his hands
and age in his eyes
there’s nowhere like here: in Ellijay
though i’ll miss the lake
where my grandfather swam
but i will build a new home
one that i understand
there is dust in the corners,
a bathtub in the yard,
children in the bathtub,
and dad is workin’ hard
though it’s far away
it lives in my future
i know that one day
my death will be useful
when i die i will
leave my kids with my debt
when i die i will
become the rain unless

Blood Rain
03:12
|
|||
the cicadas call your name
while the sirens swim in circles in the lake,
there is a marriage in the house and your father has got his money hanging out
and i can hear you in the blood rain
there is a baby with your skin, there is a party in the basement again, your mother is in love
as i fill the fire pit with wood
in the blood rain
and you are old and i am older
and i see you, seeing me

Like the Wolves
02:29
|
|||
you shine like starlight (cliché)
you stay down south (get out)
near FL beaches (that's good)
a big open mouth
you are the only one i love
but love can be coals
if i can start the fire
i’ll hunt you like the wolves
i’ll find the mountain
where we can build a home
if i just had your number
i would let you know
i’ll fill the bathtub
with pink roses
and if you’re impressed
you can watch me do it again

Moonlight (2)
02:00
|
|||
no matter where i go
i don't see no moon glow, even when i’m beneath it,
it don’t glow without you
(peach moon, why won’t you shine for me)
no matter where i go, i become a ghost

Home Without Me
02:12
|
|||
let it hold you in it’s arms
you can eat right from it's palms
and when you're there,
you will ask one thing
"god, spread my disbeliefs"
and you will wonder
is it a home without me?
