Lyrics:

my blood burns like diet soda
fizzing out on the ground
i wish it was my name on the hospital door
but that's not the kinda thing you can say out loud
the bank's foreclosing on grandpa's house
while a stroke peels the last bit of life from his brain
so we go to florida, me & my dad
to load up the car with anything worth saving

a mug & a lamp & a childhood map
my grandma is crying as we pull away
then drive up the coast & halfway thru georgia
i remember that i left the the home video tapes
what will the bank do
with the camcorder-caught childhood that ain't theirs
someone in a tie will look at it, say it’s worthless
then eat their dinner & say their prayers

but the truth is––
the longer you live, the harder it is to stay pure

i wish i wrote landslide by fleetwood mac
it scarcely left me with nothing to say
all i got here is this army of questions
leaving their bootprints all over my face
like, which war machine will i vote for ?
the one with the cross or the rainbow flag ?
which phone made by slave labor will i use
to call my manager & make sure i'm paid fair ?
we're never paid fair…

which killer cops will i pay with my taxes ?
which prison will i pave riding the bus ?
which drone bomb will kill which parent's child,
while bearing the names of all of us ?
& are there tides on our plastic island
will it someday wash on our shores ?
& when is it time to think about the sea ?
when it's up to our necks, & not a moment before ?

& you told me––
the longer you live, the harder it is to stay pure
the longer you stay pure, the harder it is to live

two ben's left home in 2011
one went to harvard, one went to heaven
first one got cold so he came inside
second one stayed true to his hill & died
i wanna throw my body into the river
i wanna build my house on an acre of salt
& hear no news, talk only religion
& forget that i’m human whenever i want

& i'll say––
the longer you live, the harder it is to stay pure
the longer you stay pure, the harder it is to live
the longer you live, the harder it is to stay pure
the longer you stay pure, the harder it is to live

Burped this one out. Also, I'm not sure why I wrote a song about winter in the middle of July. 

Shh Goodnight

LYRICS

Holding it close this time
Tell me of her, I'm fine
You'll never know what you do to me

All that we have won't grow
Falling is hard, I know
You make it so easy, believe me

And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do

Holding my tongue, it's real
Tell me the truth, I'll heal
Taking it slow before you go

And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do
And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do

You're all that I want and more
I'd say but I know your sort
I wish I could be someone you need
You need

And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do
And it's on my mind and I'd like to talk things through
And you're on my mind though I know I'll never do for you
Do for you

LYRICS: #1 Dads - Twice a Fool (Golden Repair LP | 2020)
We stay up late watching late-night movies
I stay up late ‘cos I like it when you hold me, hold me.
 
Let’s take a drive through the desert now honey
I like the heat and the cold and the in-between, in-between.
 
Let’s take a drive through the desert just to figure this out
These spinning wheels got me spinning got me all strung out.
 
I love the breeze how it plays with your hair
And I can learn to love you in your despair, your despair.
 
Let’s take a drive through the desert just to figure this out
These spinning wheels got me spinning got me all strung out.
 
So let’s break it down, let’s break it down
I’m at once afraid and twice a fool for you.
 
It’s when you leave and the tears come running
I know it’s silly but it can’t be helped, helped.
 
It’s like my whole life lead me to you
Now I’m wondering what the fuck I’m gonna to do, gonna do.
 
Let’s take a drive through the desert just to figure this out
These spinning wheels got me spinning got me all strung out.
 
So let’s break it down, let’s break it down
I’m at once afraid and twice, yeh at once afraid and twice
I’m at once afraid and twice a fool for you.
