stuffing my idols into a clown car

delicious not-knowing
life's got its hooks

everything i thought would change is still the same
and what's changed didn't have a name
we've been effed by the ineffable

in the backyard, in the breeze, on a summer night
yeah that's alright

pebble

i wake up in heaven, headache like death
lay on my stomach and peek through the floorboards
still waiting in unclear light
you back away from younger times
i wake up in heaven, great air conditioning
if everyone could hear me i'd start crying
people from your past don't fade; they just assume different shape
??? (i forget what i said here, eight years later as i'm transcribing this)
still waiting in......
i wake up screaming
i would love to help you
i will always love you harsh angles and all
so dance it out with me, dummy
i know we have little in common anymore
i don't understand your resentment but i know there's something simple in it
if only i could find that small cube, i'd know just what to do
??? (not sure what i said here either)
i don't think that's real

diluting

Together at the Confluence

Take Me

A Queen and a Genre

Flowing Foam

When You Go to Sleep I'll Tell You

i never tried to call them
not after that slow first time
it's not like they didn't contact me
i just needed a bit more wine
and they said, "hahahaha, just how funny.... hahahaha, you were great"
wake up on time again
this discipline must mean something
yes i know it's a lot, that self-centered bluff, know it well
and i realize over time: these cheap nothings, they are mine to sell
here's what i'll do; i'll prove it to you

hahahaha

don't wanna go where the party's at
i need some time for looking back
i heard someone say today's same as the last
whether right or wrong they won't understand
that i'm here day in and day out
now i'm feeling sincere
i'll write you; i'll reply finally
find brotherhood again
i don't wanna go where the party's at

self-sizing

lightning striking godless spires
try that size on
every time i see light blue mannequin

i'm taking inventory and standing in her light
it's tough to get it when the joke's so unkind

hemming trimming cop car femme
try that size on

as i walk through the city on my way home
i see all kinds of people i will know, or who will know me

i want to thank you for figuring it out
we're all holding hands and heading south

robins

stunted boys need each other

at first i didn't know
just how this would go
and after two more weeks
it was a natural feeling

i will go where you will go
i will take what you will take
it's not so strange as it may seem
close the door and it's easy

although you are gone
i think back oh so fondly
leashed to a stake
yapping out into infinity

i will go where you will go
i will take what you will take
it's not so strange as it may seem
close the door and it's easy

raspberry

truthful

where, again, the sound bounced off the jar, you're not too far
everyday we talk and laugh and worry
after all, we're almost here
does it take you back to be near?
ricochets through names of towns
as the record goes 'round
you sway in the wind
and try to keep it up
well, won't you?
it's far harder than to let her down
i've been thinking up a way to call back
how you do it sitting in the shade
a symbol dream
birds will just sing
where, again, we know he won't return
that much is sure in these days
the horizon lost its grip; no stars will lift us up
work never was enough
well i've noticed ways and wills to pick up the phone quickly approach
now put the lantern down and come around
something new in the dark

onion slice
