Swollen Knees And dry mouth kisses Left for dead In a mine of misses Sweet to follow She led me in A hole so hollow She let me in Twelve to one Call me later Used to love, her Now I hate her Bears have teeth Bears have nails Bears have teeth Bears have nails Honey cub black Nest like fur Rounded my spine Slept through winter Sweet to follow She led me in A hole so hollow She let me in Twelve to one Call me later Used to love, her

Crushing Clouds 03:36
lyrics

I am lost, while standing quiet still I am lost like a lonely water bill I can feel a wave of dark despair I can feel my lungs collapsing air Clouds sinking Clouds crushing me down I can see A ship lost at sea I can see A better version of me I can hear A voice inside my head I can hear him wishing me to bed Clouds sinking Clouds crushing me down Clouds falling Clouds crushing me down It's blowing me around Then crushing me down I am lost, while standing quiet still I am lost like a lonely water bill I can feel a wave of dark despair I can feel my lungs collapsing air Clouds sinking Clouds crushing me down Clouds falling Clouds crushing me down

Tired Moon Eyes 03:34
lyrics

Terminal life Dissolved in light Squint and teary tired moon eyes You’ll sleep when the sun dies… again Sweep and swept away, you fly To this place where blossoms die… again Terminal life Dissolved in light Sun spot shine, orange tree groves Meeting that stranger you don’t know… again Pale face bourbon, buttoned flask A million questions you can’t ask…again Terminal life We all fall from grace Dissolved in light Tempted by the taste Terminal life We all fear our fate Dissolved in light We all hate to Wait, for the bus to hit Wait, for the crime to commit Wait, for the world, for the world Wait, for a friendly smile Wait, it’s gonna take a while Wait, for the world, for the world Terminal life Dissolved in light Squint and teary tired moon eyes You’ll sleep when the sun dies… again

Strung Photographs 03:47

I’ve been thinking about Love, and loss, and the cost of being a friend Can we be so kind and not To hurt, to hate to give into faith my dear You make me smile and laugh Strung photographs You make me smile and laugh Strung photographs on a string Will I love, you ask Forever my dear, can you hear, me sigh Will you walk with me through This life, till the white shining light, dims You make me smile and laugh Strung photographs You make me smile and laugh Strung photographs on a string You make me smile and laugh Strung photographs You make me smile and laugh Strung photographs on a string

I don't know such language I only know love I keep it inside me It bleeds It bleeds Mountains surround me Like a gang of gods sprouting green fern knifes It bleeds It bleeds You spit and laugh at me You are better than me You spit and laugh, you can't see We all bleed, we all bleed

Eyes twitch in a knot He holds on to something he don't got Clever line a lie he told 12345678 two fold two fold Lip pierced and a pony tail The good book says you're going to hell A lovely smile to behold 12345678 two fold two fold Too old, two fold Size 10 pink wheels Mustache real deal Slow song solid gold 12345678 two fold Two fold Too bold Too bold

Normal, IL 04:12
lyrics
buy track
He wakes up to a warm wind breeze Shakes and sweats from his disease He hopes to die with some dignity Has a living will from A to Z A Day in Normal, Illinois No way to live A day in Normal, Illinois Normal No More The house he built so tall was dust Red heated flames were much too much The films and pictures all went up Like the ones he loved and could not touch A Day in Normal, Illinois No way to live A day in Normal, Illinois Normal No More The dress he wore was low strapped tied He's worn it since they day she died The closet shared his place to hide Mascara black runs from his eyes A Day in Normal, Illinois No way to live A day in Normal, Illinois Normal No More

I am learning to like myself, like myself, like myself I am learning to like myself, like myself, like myself Like Me, Like Me, I don't really like myself, like myself, like myself I don't really like myself, like myself, like myself Hate Me, Hate Me, I could never sell myself, sell myself, sell myself, I could never sell myself, sell myself, sell myself, I could never kill myself, kill myself, kill myself, Or try to be like someone else, someone else, someone else

Montreal 05:17
lyrics
buy track
I’m a lonely soul I’m a man all alone I’m a sheep in wolves’ clothes I’m a man alone You’re a woman I’m told Knows how to be cold You have never been that way to me We’re going to be together Until the green falls off the leaves The blue runs off the sea The red is gone from me Let’s leave it behind Let’s travel across the borderline Montreal or nothing… at all I’m a lonely soul I’m a man all alone I’m a sheep in wolves’ clothes I’m a man alone
