New Year

It sends chills down your neck
Well what did you expect if you don’t dress for the cold?
We walk these streets among the trees
With the lights strung up, your eyes light up
I see you glow as the sound is fading
Please hold me, because my hands are shaking
Is this what you’ve waited for?
This is all I’ve waited for...as the clock unwinds on us
I will see you in a new year, if your kiss is still around
As the clock unwinds, your lips touch mine
Wide eyed. Breathe in.
The moment hangs like pictures.
My hands. Your back.
Everything in slow motion
Lips touch. Exhale.
The music implodes backwards.
Take my hand, it’s the only thing that’s keeping us on the ground
I’m breathless, you’re reeling…
You’re the only real thing I know

Better Off

I caught your plane before you flew away
I couldn’t leave a thing unsaid
Like the lovers in the books I’d read
I wish you well because I’ll never explain
Why I couldn’t hold my tongue
What worse could I have done
Was it a reaction or are you just an actor?
I thought you should know
I’ve been sleeping on floors
To atone for all the things I’ve done
All that salt in my cough
And the memories I’ve lost
But now I know that you are better off
Without the weight of all the things I’d done
Embarrassed of who I was
Embarrassed of what I’d done
Will I make up for all the sleep I’ve lost?
Another night turning sheets
Looking for your ghost underneath

Wake

Lock the window, lose the key
I’ll be waiting for the seams to break
From the weight of the things I always knew I would believe
I know i’m hard to handle
I know that it’s not fair
To burn all of my bridges
And to block in all your streams
The morning came without the sun
It’s the only thing that I’ve been hiding from
I’ll wait to break
I know you’re still hiding in there somewhere
I swear to god I’ll dig you out like bones
Where is hope?

Daughter
04:11
|

You stood tall before the road
And steeled the lines across your face
I whispered “Father, I don’t know if
I’d even want you to stay.”
Take your faults and cut them out
And lace your veins with ivory
Open up your thirsty mouth
And drain your body like a sieve
You’re alone
Slow dissolve into regret
A sickness I could never cure
Every vice I can’t abandon
I blame on my father’s blood
You’re alone
So let go
And when you find your way out
I’ll dismantle all your bones
I’ll spread your bones like scattered ash
Across the river where you’ll sleep, forever
And every tear that you have sewn
Will claw its way out of their eyes and grow

The World We Know
03:07

I've grown tired of running through these alleyways and roads
I've come so far, I thought you could save me
We crashed through the window...It’s coming for...
The world we know is passing by in streaks of light
And I can't stand still
Your laugh is like a tiny spark against the night
When I can't see anything
Nobody knows what lies underneath our feet
Will I need these pills to hold me together?
Call the doctor. Tell him we’re coming for…
I can’t stand still
The world we know is passing by in streaks of light
And I can't stand still
Your laugh is like a tiny spark against the night
When I can't see

Stranger

“I've failed, my daughter, for the last time"
I said the last time I gave in and I left you all alone
I regret this playful garden that grew up
Around the walls you once called home
I woke up next to a stranger
There’s nothing stranger than falling apart
This autumn wind, This creaking boat
It calls me backward to the sea,
It calls me home
Forgive me
I can't patch this sinking ship
Forgive me
Was I ever a good man?
I should think not
I walked away like a bleeding ghost
To watch your family fall apart,
Never looking back
Is it here?
Is it now?
The only chance to ask for peace
Or burn like ashes in the ground
Forgive me
I can't patch this sinking ship
Forgive me
I will sleep beneath the chaos of the sea
Spread my bones like scattered ash
Across the river where I’ll sleep forever
Every tear that I have sewn
Will claw its way out of my eyes and grow
You forgave me
And you’ve patched this sinking ship
You forgave me
Now I’ll sleep beneath the chaos of the sea

Leaves of Grass

|
I’ve never been so naked while clothed
My tattered body next to yours
Loose the stop from your throat
I only need the hum of your valved voice
Claw your way in and stitch yourself inside of me
Pluck the needle from your eyes - I’m fraying at the seams
We were laying on the hillside
Beneath a black blanket of sky
I measured each and every burst of light
Burning up upon entry like a bridge
Quivering completely,
My calloused hands against your bones
In the dark, I try to speak your name
But the words just won’t come out
