Fracture
03:18
|
|||
When all the flight is clipped at wing
And felled at bole to count the rings
May all your anger fill the lake
To quench your thirst and replicate
The way you felt before you knew
Before all this, when it was true
But melodies were only scales
Our riverbed, the tallest tales
So you set the fracture in cases of plaster
That it may sit the way it’s meant
And you keep it dry, when they ask you you lie
Cuz you’re too tough to learn but also too soft to die
They offer nothing more than what you’re asking for
You curse your luck, the way the currents dragged you out
Reach for the nearest beam, feel it strain under your knees
It’s all a blur from there and fluorescence wakes you up - to find that
They’ve set your fractures in layers of plaster
So you can heal the way you’re meant
Come down as your head spins, you search for the exit
You’re too old to learn but this time too tough to die
So you climb the tree and set yourself free

Sink
02:37

Silence, sirens
The reflex is mindless
When the sky opened up
We had already seen too much
Flat on our backs
The hood of your car
Cracked like a laugh
Sink like a scar
Sink like the fall
Sink like the
Silence, sirens
The reflex is mindless
Will it be today?
Will it be today?
Can you hold the rain? Will it be today?
Are we still the same?
Will it be today?
Will it wash away?
Did you play the game? Will it wash away? Will it be today?
Will it be today?
A heavy-handed sigh
Breaking through the power lines
This rhythm runs too slow
A symptomatic urge
Decompression of the nerves
It’s time we let this go

Autumn
03:24

And so we race the storm
To the eastern shore
Where they went to downsize
And we went to wash out
In a one-hallway house
Two restless nights on the fold-out couch
While the generator
Was put through its paces
You want something beautiful
And all I want is quiet
The tide rose to meet the front door
Like Waterford crystal on the driveway
Squinting now as the call came down
But I woke up the same
You want something beautiful
And all I want is quiet
Hanging on the tangible
Before we both expire
Virginia autumn
It’s not your problem
Draw back the curtains
Was all this worth it?
Left in the morning
Days start to shorten
Back up the turnpike
I’ll see you sometime I hope

Up
02:38

Limp a little less
When the elevator hypnotist
Is making his rounds
So we went
Up and up and up
It took em long enough
I still see it all, I still hear the call
Splashing on your paper gown
And soaked to the bone
A hundred miles from the ground
I told you what I know
It’s wearing off too fast
Dizzy in the back seat
They never signed your cast
But I’ll see you sometime
So sink like
The ceilings meet the walls
It was timed right
But a curse leaves a scar
And of course it’d be today
When the banks all spilled over
I couldn’t hold the rain
But I’ll see you sometime I hope
