No Sweat 03:35
Books are falling off the shelf in the dead of night And I don’t know why I can’t get my head around The unseen push, the secret slide To the cold hard ground No sweat, I’m gonna pick ‘em up As the shadows reach me across the floor Move among the unread words Spilled out from pages ripped and torn And it’s over It’s over It’s over now I keep waking up from dreams But I don’t know how long they’ll let me Half gone in a limbo Pounding heart, but fast asleep extremities Shaking out Dig your fingernails into my hand Before the walls come down Picking up the pages scattered Keep me off the cold hard ground Til it’s over It’s over It’s over now

Still Life 04:06
I've heard the chorus is gospel and verses the blues But all that I'm hearing lately, I wish to refuse Fragments spin out of order like some bullshit novel Some days are good, every morning is awful I lay there for hours awaiting relief But it never comes before the sun through the leaves So I walk to the park where I know I can see That new purple light coming and let it envelop me Envelop me I keep falling in a hole, covered with leaves Tripping on the same trap I just can't seem to beat I'll say I'm gonna change and I'll start picking up my things But I'm just lying to myself, I can't get out of bed on Sundays I don't think there's any accidents Even if I'm choking on it, I have no defense No matter what I do and no matter what I think There's nothing in the world for me or that I want to be I want to be I could try to paint a picture, like a basket of fruit But this still life is trembling and I am following suit All the noises surrounding this blanket I'm under Was it the wind, or was it rolling thunder? Oh, what if you met me for the first time today? Would you bother with acquaintance? Would I seem ok? How will you remember me when all's said and done? Have you ever seen me at my best? Oh, has anyone? Has anyone?

Cold to the touch Asking for too much now These days, these days Down for the count Pocketing steep amounts Always, always Bound to disorder and shaped in the night Once it’s the new year, resolved and polite It’s been a long time coming A little part of this tune I’ve been humming Slowly, slowly A thicker coat in the wintertime A little something to keep my mind from Blowing, blowing Bound to disorder and shaped in the night Once it’s the new year, resolved and polite Someday, someday I’m up and out of the crater An unreliable narrator I’ll reappear, reappear Artificial and paranoid iphone pictures of polaroids Just to make it clear, to prove we were here Bound to disorder and shaped in the night Once it’s the new year, resolved and polite Someday, someday A bruise, a scratch, a blackened match A crystal glass tipped over A spill, a fall, a feigned resolve A stain the shape of a clover Dumb luck Easy fear Year after year Someday, someday

Swan Dive 03:03
Whatever promise you were thinking of When we were strangers, it wasn’t enough Looking out for a sign of life Jumping in with an inelegant swan dive I can’t speak it in a modern tongue Electricity and degeneration Flipping switches for days and days But you’re bioluminescent always I can’t dance, but I’ll take you out I like walking the streets as much as hitting the town So come with me If you take me in, I could learn the ropes We could tie them up and hope some things are real Hope that some things are real When our leaves start turning brown Never falling we’re just spinning around and around Staying dizzy til the end of the clocks Frame us up in a shadowbox One day if you’re feeling kind Point out the peace sign skyline In the alley of a tornado We say goodbye and we say hello I can’t dance, but I’ll take you out I like walking the streets as much as hitting the town So come with me If you take me in, I could learn the ropes We could tie them up and hope some things are real Hope that some things are real

I've been looking out lately, irregular fit With an open container, sidewalk-bound and moonlit I hope that I see you again later on Box of wine angling until it's gone And it dwindles down Am I in your head? I've been losing it lately, politely unseen Scared of the dark in blacked out windows hiding From everything I wish would pull me in closer Shrinking along with the aperture But who am I to talk? What am I to you? Do you feel it too? Am I in your head? Am I in your head? Glowing in the dark Behind your eyes Locked out of memory Where am I hiding? I'm out of my head The self in the bathroom mirror gets farther away Two hands palm to palm, never touching The vertigo shot never stopping As the condensation clears Am I really here? When I leave the room that's the end of me Scatter into ether, along with old memory If you can see me then that's all you need to know I don't want to be in anyone's mind but my own I don't like it there I can't call it home Who am I to you? Do you feel it too? Am I in your head? If I'm in your head Please let me out From behind your eyes Lock me out of memory And I'll stay hiding I'm out of my head Don't you forget about me You know all there is to know Please don't forget about me I don't want to be known Don't you forget about me You know all there is to know Please don't forget about me I don't want to know

No Grace 01:28
When you need What you’ll never know Wide eyed In the mirror alone Waking up to what you’ll never replace No grace All the love And death we can’t unsee The in-betweens And similarities We are high and dry and lonesome in a barren place No grace No grace

It’s gold and gray on a Saturday You can smell the fire burning across the way Catch me here before I disappear We can’t push it off, what’s coming When the sun goes down and your head is sore In a crowded room with no open door Who can catch your eye when you’re looking away? Who can feel you moving when there’s nothing to say? When you’re crying til you’re laughing Ha ha ha What I came to be, we’ve seen already The rocks are piling up to cover me I could’ve lied on the flip side But I welcome in what’s coming When the sun goes down and your head is sore In a crowded room with no open door Who can catch your eye when you’re looking away? Who can feel you moving when there’s nothing to say? When you’re crying til you’re laughing When the smoke clears and you breathe in Oh my god When the smoke clears When the smoke clears And you breathe in

When we were alone we could have rushed into the skids You made me a bracelet out of grass like we were kids Left the sadness indoors, tried to keep what we’d begun I screwed up my eyes in the direction of the sun And it can beat, and it can burn, and it can hurt, you know, I can feel it And when the grass gets pulled apart, and it will, I’ll still feel it It’s here and it goes and it’s here and it goes It’s here and it goes and it’s here and it goes It never stays Early morning brainbuzz, man I thought that I was dead Take me to the exit, pull apart these tangled threads They can keep me up nights, and I can try, but they still stay here And I can thrash and submerge, and I will, but you still stay here It’s here and it goes and it’s here and it goes It’s here and it goes and it’s here and it goes It never stays

Copperhead 04:02
I’ve had heroes walk ahead, but they’re not like me I’ve heard encouraging words put together so sweetly I listen up, I take it in I turn around and take another on the chin And I stayed in bed Until the night returned Then I sang of love As if I never learned As if I never learned I’ve given all kinds of tips I should’ve taken instead Quick strike, like a copperhead I blend in, try to smile wide Busting out of my skin, hidden on the roadside And I cooled right down When the night returned Then I sang of love As if I never learned As if I never learned And I gave my best When the night returned And I sang of love As if I never learned And I still keep my blood Where it can’t be shown And I sing of love, I spill it out As if I’ll ever know As if I’ll ever know

Keep an eye on the time I scribble hastily Thought I could chase the highlights I’ve been speed-reading poetry Breathe in the dust Some kind of midwestern malaise If you walk in circles enough You end up kicking rocks for days I’m over me, I’m not pretending I’m over me, I’m not pretending I’m over me, I’m not pretending I’m over me, I’m not pretending Underneath the in-your-face, the tide, the undertow You’ve always had a friend, you know? You know Every place that I go There I am again Jameson bottle green with envy Convinced that it’s the end I noticed you in a dream No way you could’ve known No balance keeping me from dangerously Swaying at this broken basement microphone I’m over me, I’m not pretending I’m over me, I’m not pretending I’m over me, I’m not pretending I’m over me, I’m not pretending Underneath the in-your-face, the tide, the undertow You’ve always had a friend, you know? You know

Good Morning 04:56
I wrote my name on a beam in the ceiling I left it exposed when I left, like it’s healing It seemed to be over like everything does When you oversell closure the outcome is obvious Nothing to gain, I felt dumb and abandoned No evidence there but I imagined it handed I’ve seen the tumbling from the lead dominoes Waiting in line like we’ve always been predisposed I want to be back in the passenger seat With the windows down gliding over hazy concrete I want to hear what you sound like again At the top of your lungs singing, eyes ahead and ready to begin I will play, I will sing, and I’ll scream out because We are young and they haven’t found anything wrong with us yet We are young and they haven’t found anything wrong with us yet
