1.
A stomach full of coffee Butterflies in the bloodstream Standing near the pier Itching closer, crash into water The sky is singing sunshine The clouds are waving goodbye I think it’s time to let the spirit fly Life is aging like wine Creaking ghosts falling into the tide My father still keeps in time I can find some peace of mind The pace and the rhythm are all mine Over a shoulder of sand Your restless skin into my ocean bed Crickets will keep whistling To offer asylum from scary dreams Your body creeps into the longest sleep
2.
just tell me 03:48
All of the leaves are attacking cement Waving goodbye to your parents Moving out, moving in Getting used to each other’s constant presence You need not fear I will always be here You already know That this won’t get easier What we are in for Won’t always be comfortable We know the money won’t always be so attainable I promise to cook you dinner and do some more household chores Just tell me when I drive you crazy
3.
cope 02:04
There is no rest since she departed I can’t breathe under this water I long to sail and float If only I could cope There is no money To escape this vacant home So I better get comfortable With being alone If only I could cope
4.
canswer 04:01
The sound of a train is chasing me I see uprooted trees Falling up into the sky That’s full of debris Destroy my house Take my lungs out Let go of the past And at last I surrender to the wind Unpave the road Stab the catacombs The blood of the land Needs to be cleansed and forgiven All the violence in the air Seems so unfair I won’t deny this cancer in disguise The pavements slides beneath my tired feet So many times I’ve kept the tears buried deep And the heat gets hungry for some cemeteries Digging for something, the cold won’t save me
5.
The surgeon had this key Opened up the rib cage with its teeth Take out the monster this relentless disease Hands entered through his back While he was fast asleep Expunge the lung put in a bag Send it to the lab The doctor said they didn’t know what they were looking at It was just something black I came into the office asked what could be done The doctor said “wait and see, we’re past the point of no returning” Does this mean that my son is dying? Can he eat something other than ice chips? I promise I wouldn’t cry but I can’t let my eyes lie to him He needs to see how much I care He needs to know I’m right there When he felt my hand in his He smiled as if he were born again This is something that happens You’re not gonna die at this time Sometimes the body just turns on the owner But maybe we will emerge stronger
6.
All is black There are bombs We make heat Under stars Feel your teeth Take my hand Underneath I understand I don’t know how not to want you I don’t think that I should Just don’t know how to let go And this feels too good There is a pulse But it’s not mine I think that’s all I want to find All this light Close our eyes I feel your breath in mine
7.
uninhibited 03:53
Oh baby we should never sleep alone The moon and the sun are crashing into stone So don’t hesitate just intoxicate me I always thought my words were a liability I walk around with these thoughts in my head I’ll take control if you want to submit I’m not afraid and I have to say I like being uninhibited So come invade my skin like a criminal You can steal my everything Just dim the lights get me out of me We got all night, the sky is dying I wish my blood would keep on moving For a fearless cleansing The strength of our love will keep us crazy I promise to be more easygoing
8.
Miles and miles of dirt A highway made of desert We could go swimming in each other A mattress made of skin The birds they heard that song we sing Our hands are made were to give and take From the water that we offer to each other I will drink from you if you want me to My mouth follows the river of breath and sound See through the fog Count the sparrows We create the night And stay for all tomorrows Fall into the sky I turn out the sunlight Our little worries are dying Sit by the fire and unwind (yeah) This June the sun and the moon I give them to you!
9.
“Fade to black then fade through that” Lose my skin no more suffering through this Broken laugh inside the madness Missing limbs tired skeleton Cringing thoughts unaccomplished When will I love powerfully? Take the sweet and the sour fearlessly? I feel livid as the panic takes hold of me Imperfect and thirsty for anything I look to the moon What can I do? To heal these wounds I just hunker down in my room With the error of drinking The terror of drifting Overtakes my will to believe I’m thirsty for anything
10.
this blood 02:54
I don’t know where we’ll go But I hope she takes things slow Rushed right in to an ocean The water cleansed this skin Can’t believe this is happening She said, “well it is” This is like breathing It just happens then it stops I’m coming up for air But will she care Does it matter? Am I a kamikaze? Did I win one for the allies Maybe I’m just learning how to be alive With blood inside of me All this blood inside of me, it just keeps moving
11.
sighs 03:37
Blankets wrapped Sleeping into sweet nothing Oh hearing the rain gently tapping To your breathing Keep me safe in this space Rotations and sighs The morning is hidden Thoughts are overcast Fallen leaves like bodies Stretched out onto the pavement But the sight of your eyes Keeps me awake and alive I look forward to rotations and sighs I look forward to growing old with you
12.
Dust and scratches on the print Projections of an empty bed Can I see how you look at me? My vision is cloudy I need your sunlight To comfort me Can you design a peace of mind Or help me find my dreams? All I want is another somebody To hold my hand And call / calm me up again To say hey you’re more than my friend Projecting a love for the ages
