constructing the family bird
of found limbs & loving words
rebuilding what we once had
with thicker skin, ironclad
only time's lost to the past
nothing's gone that can't come back
when we find the time again
we'll come out to one another
and let old light back in
we're flying the family bird
I wanna know that you feel heard
we're breaking makeshift wings
when we try, but we're too shy
of something so high
falling

Ragdoll
04:48
|
|||
|
your starved eyes
are staring their way right through
and when I lay
down on my back for you
its compromise
I know you are done
when you say that you are done
I can wait
I can give, but I might break
and if you're too much to take
then I'll apologize
now you and your ragdoll
are bloodshot in bed
I wanna be your ragdoll
forget what I said
make me tame, until I bruise
if it's just the game that we both play
then why do I always lose this compromise?

Decoration Wall

|

|
two ways to call
the big game on decoration wall
one stays too calm
for hunted days not far gone
two ways to sing
the red breast, black winged
one goes unseen
and unsung through late spring
two words to say
when one bird flies
“soldier on”

Fire
04:52
|

|
blowin' smoke now
cross the heart and fear the signs
blowin' smoke waiting
on the fire next time
mary don't weep
for the light that we ain't yet found
mary don't you weep
we've taken water, but we ain't yet drowned
if god is love, let's love another way
chase love and you will get there someday
goodbye babe
this death marks trust's only child
goodbye gal
I wish you luck on your return to the wild

8 Days
04:06
|

|
true blue to pitch black
I pray the moon to pull me back
but pitcher blacks know truer blues
decoding the zodiac of a cancer in June
whose water is deep
whose calm is not known
lost in your waves
do they sing mercy or the siren's sweet drone?
true blue, 8 days past
lost in your waves
steadfast to pitch black

Anna, Always
06:06
|
|||
|
full stop, mid May
she's the big shot
she's ready to play
hey, it's Anna
here she comes
full stop, Sunday
you're sweet talkin' me
sideways
lengthwise
leave me lilacs, love
I'm maxed out on the mainline
patience for Anna
bring good luck my way
and if you find patience for Anna
then you've got Anna, always

False Positives
03:39
|

|
Henry, hold my hand
if it's heavy
know your weight
is our weight
don't be crazy, Henry
Anna when you find you've fallen again
tripped into another day with Henry
Henry, long may you run
from your twenties
from that night
& from the memories
never telling how you brought
the Devil down on Mary
so Anna when you find you've fallen again
get up & get out
don't live like Mary
