I, I, I, will let you down
Everything comes so fast around this pole
I will let you down
That tear tracks run down your face again
I wouldn’t let it in 
Touch the ground
I would let it touch the ground
Hopelessly done
And I’ll get it right 
I’ll get it right 
I’ll get it right
I’ll get it right
I’ll get it right
Again
I’ll get it right 
I’ll get it right
I’ll get it right
I’ll get it right
I’ll get it right 
I’ll get it right
I’ll get it right
I’ll get it right
Again
Again
Again
Again
I’ll never let you down
I’ll turn you back on our love 
See we live in color 
I will not sway
I hate your love not giving 
Like it was again
I will let you down
You’ll give
One day
One day
One day
One day
One day
One day
Let those tears hit the ground
Let those tears hit the ground
I’ll live another day 
I’ll float
And I’ll swim 
And I’ll swim 
In it 
Again

Conversation

Blackest point
Shoulder length
Falter slowly
Basic needs met
Follow the way
Shallow in depth
Money for hire
Tables a mess
Set up the void
Total the line
Fall out in circles
Hold up the life line
Savor the honey
Spread out the jam
Believe in something baby
It’s all in his hands
Seconds are over
Missiles in line
Freeze for a second
Kneel at your graves
Fables are told
Maybe is not going to do it
You fell in line
Like the rest of us 
Like the rest of us
In peace we come
A second too late
A second too late
To hold it once again
Before it slipped away

Blackest Point

Time to sleep 
It’s late
Come on 
I’m up 
5,4,3,2,1
It’s time to sleep 
It’s time to sleep 
Mountain’s gonna rise
Call your luck
Call your luck
Feelings left to the side
All things aren’t
All I think of
All the time

Fading slowly
Colors all around me
Feeding in front of one another
5,4,3,2,1

It’s time to sleep 
It’s time to sleep 
Under the mountain
Fears weight
Crushing you too hard 
I don’t know how long I…
I don’t know long 
How long I can wait
I’m stuck
I’ll come right out 

Sleep without 
The world around you
Spinning round
Deeply wonder if I will come all the way around

Dreaming of a lighter load
Follow you into ocean
Calling your name alone
So you can hear me falling
Deeply sinking love
Falling stealing love

I will sleep inside the mountain
Waiting for you
Carry you out of there
Will you find me
In the circle 
You
You are the mountain
You are the mountain
Time to sleep 
Time to sleep

Fears Mount

I walked through the city alone
With no where to go
I walked through the city alone
With no where to go
I walked into the blue hotel
Sat down by the old window 
Stared out at the lonely road
Where people and cars used to roam
Poured out like a bottles moan
Sang songs of love and regret
Made pretend that I was one of the guests
Ordered everything on the menu
Made a toast to the man in the back
Broke dishes just to see them smash
Looked down at the broken glass
My reflection didn’t look back 

I walked through the city alone 
With no where to go
I walked into the blue hotel
Sat down by the window
Our place to let it all go
All the bottles are empty or low 
Sang songs of love and regret
Made pretend you were there in your special dress
The one that looked best on the floor
Talked dreams of kids on the lawn 
Picking dandelions and smiling through yawns
Grabbed the table and shook it with fear
Not once did my reflection appear

Stared out at the lonely road 
Down blocks far from here 
A faint woman’s body appeared
Through rapid blinks she didn’t disappear
She walked into the blue hotel
Sat down by the old window
Ordered everything on the menu
Raised her glass to the man in the back
Broke dishes to hear them smash
Looked down at the broken glass

I walked through the city alone
With no where to go
I walked through the city alone
With no where to go

The Blue Hotel

I found home
Standing in the middle alone
Spell it out in tongues
Believer inside each one
Taste of honey 
Lavender in the weeds
Made of glass and wood 
Bottom fell out so you could 
I found home
I found home
Scent of anger in fear
Sprinkled with me
Out to the grass
Screens keep it out
Bee circling a crack
Wondering through your eye

I found home
Standing in the middle alone
Spell it out in tongues
Believer inside each one
Taste of honey 
Shingles fade into black
Window reflects what can come in and what goes out
Swept with wind and rain
Mouth in gape
Face to face with dreams 
Cycles of time kept you here

A Home

Voice 1

Ladle
Straightforward like me
Let it return
Looking for hope below 
Shadow worthless figure walking
Thumbs up
Stalwart
It’s you I’m looking for
It’s you that I have to fall back on
Sad songs don’t work anymore
Living life 
Stroke cold asleep 
Thank God for receding 
When we felt great
Books piled on the corner of 13th
Something how we think 
Some things never change 
Standing on the pages from your book
Think my regards are overlooked 
It’s great to meet you
Sad it’s over any day 

Voice 2 

Sad songs don’t work anymore
See things trickling down
Focused on the wrong thing
Lift you off the floor
Bloodshed eyes fool
Sad songs don’t work anymore
But I want you 
But I want you 
See your feet don’t rise off the ground
Can’t even fault you for the wrong anymore 
Sad songs don’t work anymore
Take me 
Lets go home

Ladle

I don’t want to see you turn like that
I don’t want to feel hopeless like that
If you want to see the bright lights shining
If you want to see the hopeless fall in
Grab your glasses 
Shine with light
Take a stand and lift it up
If you want to be just like her
Lift your voices 
Howl at the rain
I’m a visionary hopeless sound
Take a step in the right direction
If you want to see the home leave us
If you want to see the sky open wide
Take a listen and hear what I hear
Feel your bones and make them cry
It’s going to be a real good night
There’s going to be aggression in the air
I’m a visionary hopeless sound
Take my hand and we’ll fly away tonight

Disseminate

I walk alone when the streets are dim
You’re on my mind over and over again
Avoid the moon 
Pale like the glass of your skin
Blood curdles in the back of my mouth
Too easy for my teeth to come out
They call me Fang
I would never hurt you
Too precious to take 
Two circles on the back of my neck
Reminders of the past I led
I didn’t have a choice to live or be dead
They call me Fang
They call me Fang
I walk alone when the streets are dim
You’re on my mind over and over again
Over and over again
Bite down on the back of my hand
Life rushes into me again 
Hairs raise like the animal I am
Dead walking on the streets again 
They call me Fang
They call me Fang
They call me Fang
I’ll never hurt you
To precious to take 
They call me Fang
They call me Fang
I walk alone when the streets are dim
You’re on my mind over and over again
