:::LONELYLIGHTLYLOWSHINE
not getting through to life, to you
what would you do
if i had done what you told me to
they see your manners, they owe you grace
god damn that’s a beautiful face
road queen, now where’s your gun
found a gleaming footstep in the sun
now, you were already here
you know that I never was
when they made the morning rise
rise with light
who was i to stay within a dream
lonely lightly low shine
road queen, now where’s your gun
found a gleaming footstep in the sun
you were already here

:::COPPER THIEF
go where they haven’t yet gone
listen to the song that is still unheard
blue ridge branches
shadowing your eyes
when you walk towards the ocean
forgetfulness
sits down next to her on the bus
it blows on her eyes
the smell reminds her of rye
and we
we have come here by mistake
we
we have come here by mistake
how do we, how do we
how do we, how do we
how do we get out
got to give what was never given
with heavy winds he stormed
throught our town
mountain maker, take him with you
who is going to live there now
she cut across the field to find
to find the land
drawing transparent walls
trying to make the angles how I think
you’d prefer them
it became stigmatic
nothing was received on my end
I was in a back seat on your birthday
I wept tucked in by light
The hollow go me dancing
Thank you lion
and we
we have come here by mistake
we
we have come here by mistake
how do we, how do we
how do we, how do we
how do we get out

Recording of a Dream

:::RECORDING OF A DREAM
I have no sense of time
Nor direction or space
A dream keeps me awake
But it’s not the right kind
I pass my days in unmade beds
Always on the wrong side of town
I fall back into you
Every time
Fall too far away from home
And that’s all the time
The ink dries on a paper
Soon to be taken by your eyes
And the whole world
Is holding its breath
I wont expect you to understand
But it’s how I feel
And tonight i might even call you up
Just to get your machine
The recording of a dream

:::THE YEARS I SPENT PUNKROCKING
I, I swallow the ocean
You, you’ve come to the right place
The days are but feathers now,
laid out like velvet sheets on my skyline
Reach your hand out the window,
scratch the surface and you’ll see
the heart beating away,
up and down the hills upon the rails
Someone should take me across
I want it to be you
When we run out of lies
I want it to be you
These are the famous corners
Flowers hidden i gray braids
See, the Diamond is still here:
’Strike, Resist, Occupy Everything’
I want it to be you
When we run out of lies
I want it to be you
Someone should take me across
I want it to be you
When we run out of lies
I want it to be you

:::REDWOOD
Won’t love again
But I’ll say I did
I hope you find me
Wouldn’t last here
Low down nights
Never long enough
Lights never bright enough
Year eleven
And the first belongs to you
Don’t I know
You wouldn’t like that
Because you’re not like that
And I can’t tell
Tell them about you
So I keep giving you names
Haven’t said no for so long
Wouldn’t know where to start
Nights that I used to sleep through
We awake on different mornings
Nine hours apart

Blueprints

:::BLUEPRINTS
Encoded blueprints on the palm of your hand
Retracing your lifeline back to when you lived in Spain
I’ve been up all night
trying to figure out when yours crossed mine
I’ve been up all night
With a theory I call You and I
You and I collide in the dark
Who am I to confide with it all
It was so hard for one part
Now I can’t stop feeling lost
I hope you’ll be saved

:::SUGAR FACTORY
A whiter shade of pale
Blasting from the old speakers of a rental van
As we passed by McCarren Park at night
The warm spring sun setting on
The abanboned sugar factory
And I took your hand in mine
If this ain’t love dont think I’ll ever find it
On a JMZ train across
the old east river to the bowery stop
The day after I fell into your eys
You asked me what if this is wrong
It ain’t if you feel like it
So I took her hand in mine
If this is love I hope I never lose it
Its funny how things must come to and end
And its funny how i always seem to rush them there
Its funny how things must come to and end
And its funny how i always seem to rush them there

:::SCARLET
Wait for the morning you
Now you are talking to loud
Head for the wall of youth
And dance with them all
You’re never alone
And i waited too
For the man in me
And you what can you do
With the light in me
So don’t come closer now
We made it all new
And i fear that you’re mine
You made all the loving you see
And now you lean on light
You lean on light
And I waited too
For the man in me
And you what can you do
With the light in me
I see it now
I see it coming down
The boy you knew had war
Inside his palms
And then you came along
And he would disappear
For weeks and months
He said
Best is for the bliss
The best is for the bliss

Asleep

:::ASLEEP
Falling asleep with the last word in the world
And waking up with the first
Knowing this is where
You always want to belong
When they’re coming from her mouth
It’s when you realize
You’re no longer alone
Ooh I must have passed out
Before you said goodnight
Must have still been asleep
When you said good morning

:::Halo Heart
Now draw the lines
Halo heart hear the sound
Retrace those butterflies
Don’t let me fall asleep
Watery eyes fixed on every move
It’s tattooed on your lips
No need to be talked to
Youthful morning
Listen, Austin
I woke and I wanted
You I won’t complete
Halo heart
I hope you stay long enough
I hope you laugh loud enough
I will make my way back
I
I waited for the man to arrive
And I fear that he chose you
Light
there was subtetly in all your moves
And I hope it will get you through
And who
Who would believe if I’d show them
What I’ve seen
What would they make of it
Of this man they all knew
Gave a name, made their own
Will we get the last saying before they see
Glistening porches where I join you again
Inside the trees
the glow, the night, the dusk
Halo Heart draw the lines
So that we might rise again
Before I forget we met
This could have mended our heart
Inside our beat-up cars
When we sang miles and miles apart
Halo Heart draw the lines
So that we might rise again
Before I forget we met
