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

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

cope

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

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

emergence, see
02:35
|

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

i don't know how
02:42
|

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

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

unwind this june
03:18
|
|||
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!

thirsty for anything
04:02
|

“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
|

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

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
|

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
