Set Our Hair On Fire

happiness
that’s what they sold us
but then they kicked our shins
and set our hair on fire
I’m boiling with rage
I’m glued to the page
are we content with what moderate magic we have left?

Gold & Silver

overtired and turned
we lost our voices
kept close track of all the wrongs
we could have easily forgotten
on rolls on the great freight train of human flaws
all my pride is packed to ride
maybe it’s better now that you know
I am the sun
I am the moon
I am the shadow
I’m the branches on the river
the gold and I’m the silver
I’m the beast of beauty
I am the wood that becomes the violin

Crescent Moon

got stuck in my head
but I blamed it
on God
I abandoned the thought
and it bloomed
on God
let me lie down
let me sleep until you speak
throw your hat over the wall
you are cured
your heart is pure
got stuck in my head
but I blamed it
on God
I abandoned the thought
and it bloomed
on God
I can’t wait
on God
it’s too late
and the daylight is breaking the moon
crescent resting on its own reflection

Swim

living high
wasn’t ready for the fall
(before the fall)
living high
wasn’t ready for the fall
looking out the window
staring at the mirror
chaos is a ladder
death is a doorway
no ceilings (we float)
no floors (we sink)
no middle ground (we swim)

King Me

we are monarchs in the making
all our young lives spent waiting
for The Truth to take hold
I wander through the garden
‘til I speak a new language with you

Elsewhere (For Jonny)
01:29
|
|

|
I was there
to watch you pick your poison
closed my eyes
turned my back to help you hide
seen enough
had enough
known enough
empty pockets
the panic
the pattern
the patience wasted
that’s over now

Mouthful of Feathers
02:15
|
|

|
I was wrong again
my friend
there’s no explaining it
the time we get
the words we meant
the cold regret
I was afraid to see what I was
a wolf howling with a mouthful of feathers
and God as the gun
there may come a time to burn the furniture
but I will not let us die

Modern Medicine
02:01
|
|

|
I woke up in bed
with a song in my head
I reached for a pen
but I smoked up instead
am I terrible?
this is wonderful
no old age
no danger
no violence
no anger
modern medicine
living legend
perfect pleasure
life of leisure
I was happy in my dream
like an animal
I run

I’ll be thinking
of you sleeping
while I’m working
I’ll be wishing
I was lying
by your side
take it easy / give it time
