Why do such good hearts have to leave this life?
And though you're dust, yellow flowers lay across your eyes
You still walk upon the road that goes around the world
and time will never stop
We're spinning clockwise for you
looks like a fucked up face
a dying place
an empty space in the grass for you
we still wonder why
that you said goodbye
and the tracks still cry
for they loved you

you trembled, fell asleep
pinky swore across your chest
you were not afraid to love
now you forever rest
you have run on emptiness
and smoke spilled with your breath
your road still goes around the world
and mourns the yellow flower's death

I've been tasting roads my whole life.

yellow flower

He stands in the meadow when the sky is overcast
tries to hide his body in the silver grass
water fills his shoes and pockets, his shins are cold beneath his clothes
if someone sees then someone knows 
he's half somebody else

He's half the world, he can't afford to dry out
You'll sense his sorrow when the water shivers
When this boy's all by himself he blows the candles out
he rests his head between his knees and cries a river

Standing in the silver grass, he saves the overcast
and prays that rain is living there, he says, "god let there be rain in there"
he says he's gonna need a couple more pockets, a brand new pair of shoes
cause day by day he's running dry
and this boy needs the room to cry

He's half the world, he can't afford to dry out
You'll sense his sorrow when the water shivers
When this boy's all by himself he blows the candles out
he rests his head between his knees and cries a river.

body of water

She was pretty
Just a couple of smokes and some morning dew cries
In the city
the one that's up north with the gray snowy skies
she said what is faith without a goddess
take a stroll through heaven she's your goddess
I was afraid
Afraid to go home I was scared to go home
would it all fade
to a sprinkle of moon dust on an amethyst stone
and the sheets turn brown, trash in the corner
she needs you my dear don't you adore her
yes the world was almost ours I swore her
I said please don't you ever forget who you are

you are sky
you are sun you are earth 
you are silver that flows from a golden rebirth
you are mine
you are his you are hers
I will never let you be the tongue of my words
I need you
I need you here with me
I need you with a can of soup watching TV
you're the one in the bookstore 
with a triple shot drink
the one who said I shouldn't care what they think

Don't fail me goddess
don't fail me goddess
don't fail me goddess

Goddess

The walls are dusty
I can no longer see outside
I cannot see the rainbow on the window in the morning
I still can see the sequin snow 
And all I've ever lived to know
The trees that dye the water green
It's all I've ever seen

Now my eyes are green
I can no longer see the snow
I cannot see the sunlight touch the glitter in the morning
I still can see inside my mind
I'll wait for this world to unwind
A world that's dyed in living green
Something I've never seen.

Snow Globe

empty milkbox watch it drain
irises grow in her brain
deja vu
I know you
storms were comfort in dim light
rip off Band-Aid fight or flight
she wants her blanket
she wants her blanket

milk box spills and calls the tears
she has not seen you in years
she wants her blanket
she wants her blanket
she scrapes her knee and gets back up
still too much milk in her cup
deja vu
I know you
