Eating Peaches
03:33

June ends and September begins
Every month is February unless you spend a whole hour in the sun each day eating peaches with your teeth and clothes
Dump a little water on yourself every time you take a drink to feel younger and dirty and cleaner
If you’re standing on the hill it goes away in seconds cuz you’re closer to the sun
The sheep will talk to you but won’t understand replies
They only want to follow the black velvet dog who doesn’t know he’s herding them, the walker becomes the shepherd
We become control though we have none, we observe in the stillness like the tree but we’re rapid like the river from which it drinks
Skin sticks to shirts
Everyone frozen in the hard river wind
It comes when you least expect it
It doesn’t know it’s hurting us
Like the folks who’ve sat here for 10 centuries
This is years ago but I can see your silhouette
I can smell peaches
I can hear the river and the sheep
I can feel the sun drying my clothes and burning my skin
It’s June again and it’s always June
And we’ve always been the river and the tree

Soft Boys

I know soft boys drive you insane
Quiet smile boys, sleepy and tame
I too have some eyes
That drift in and outside
The multicolored lines
I'm stuck in this gaze
A copper Roman face
Just trying to get some space
I've seen big boys layin in bed
Old bears don't scare me with their leather
The poison in the well
In case you couldn't tell
Is what anyone can sell
Their fleshy underside
Is easyish to hide
Until just the wrong time
“Swimming pools for eyes”??
Soft hand cuts my side
You think you know my sign???
I'm gonna fucking throw up my drinks if I don't get some air
Not that it matters it's not the first time I've been stupid here
I know soft boys get in your head
They don't hear no words that you said
The problematic screens
Are all that we can see
Ignore them just for me
The queens are tryna tell
Us how to break our shells
To love despite ourselves
Break the heavens, the final call, the girl's still on stage!!!!
If god is real he'll deliver otters down to leave this place
I hope I never go alone to
The final resting place of young bisexuals
That'll be the day second coming brings the angel down to earth to scrub it clean and find us lying in beds premade for 20 million centuries
I hope I never have to go to
Another straight bar for the rest of my drunk existence
Come deliver me into the aching arms the quiet calm of someone not looking for anything I don't think I can give them
Body trembles underneath the weight of Thirty years you’ve known yourself
I'm just here for a party
Not the whole rsvp
So I'll take simple hangs a smoke and early lights out works for me tonight
The sonar calls
Red leather lined walls
Too friendly open stalls
The will to feel it all

I woke up so early in the morning
Need to draw some blood to start my day
Been awake for only half an hour
Praying all the words that I can't say
You might not wake up this time
Cuz I been up since early in the morning
Why'd the sky keep me up so damn late last night
Feel too ill to wait around in bed
Wrestling with Jesus under covers
Mosquitoes tweeting all my blood instead
I may not dig your grave this time but watch out cuz it's early in the morning
Think I finally figured it out, the reason I can't answer why
Thirty years of dancing past three's the reason I’m alive
Thought we had this conversation thirteen times
Why all pain is love, all love is hate
All the stolen hours from my friends and me
We can't pay the bills to graduate
Anyway that's not the point
I'm furious, it's early in the morning
Think I finally figured it out, the way that I can touch the sky
Get up on my back when the moon is low if you're ready to die
Run into the ocean before the dawn to lose your running legs
Fly into the road with your helmet off the city street's your bed

Spider Bite

Can you wake up? Can you see right? Little drop of blood on morning sheet
Could be poison or the devil
Did you have that dream about the strawberry patch?
If you'll let me get a bandage
Alcohol and keep the dog away
I could fix you or I'll try to
Like the way you'd hug me when we got to campus
If it's just fine I will take you
to the doctor where they'll put down piece of paper on a table where you will lie down and they'll fix you up
If you get some kind of hungry
grab a snack out of the doorway
it will hold you while you wait for
Doc to take the gauze from your open wound now
If you're thirsty you can ask the
front of house nurse for a little glass of water
They will help you find the fountain where you'll hit the knob and you can open your mouth
You will take the biggest gulp you
can imagine bringing life to you
Then you'll breathe and see the doctor
You came all this way to find out how to be healthy
Any day now you'll remember
when you were so tired you cried
In the basement watching movies with your girlfriend waiting till the time is right and
Went to kiss her but instead the
Little spider bit your arm so sweet
He was just looking for love just
like you when you thought you could take it all the way, sorryyyyyyyy

Water Moon
03:16

Caught an eye squeezing fruits and berries
Stared at you till I disappeared
What if we disappear together?
What if the earth is out of years?
Every new day Soft tragedies
ripple my water moon to rot
Always untangling our brain
just takes an inch to tie a knot
Maybe you need to be alone now
Maybe just tired or afraid
But can we be alone together?
I’m always getting in the way
Always so sensitive to you
Catching you on the soft breeze
Can we be soft together?
Find all the aching parts to squeeze
Say if you think that I should be here
Being together all the time
I could just hold up little mirrors
Show us together framed inside
Show us together framed in

City of Fern
07:45

Woke up in a city of fern
Sky splits on woods legs get a sip
Air bright trees sweep leaves off the steps
Water Moon lights grass, runs away
Ghostwalk through a city of fern
All those bell shaped flowers try to sing
To the Chirping of summer frogs
If the birds don’t kill them all first
Things are bad again
Looks like we didn’t make it
(Shhhhh)
Feels like ripples, timeless or dreams
Sky mists pale fruit sharper than leaves
Smells like sixteen on thirsty drive
Layers, borders, too thick to love
Woke up in a city of fire
Feet melt to the pavement
We might have to move
Embers in the earths lungs
Eat the soil, everybody fleeing the ravine
Feels like summer wishing me
Taste like poison fixing me
Sounds like cricket singing me
FeelS like spider kissing me
Are you dreaming too?????
Woke up in a city of fern
We’ll die in a city of fire

Hypertense
07:06
|

|
The markets asleep
Carrying old queens
But what has it done for me??
My listening voice
Is always a choice
But boss says it’s the wrong one
What have I gone and done
Bleeding on a Lamb
From a servant’s hand
For things I don’t understand
Are we having fun???
A lot going on
Too much going on
Asleep at the wheel I forgot how it feels to be trapped just in sight of eternal false light
The weight of the crown has me tumbling down
Through what I didn’t ask for, my view from the ground
The weight of my friends and their infinite ends
Feels too heavy for one soul bear but I’ll try
And I’ll try to make ends meet today and next week
But if it all breaks then it’s my soul to take
Find me at the cusp of the ravine I’m dying just to dive in
Make my bed behind the bar to give my best and take the worst away
And I’ll suffocate
underneath the weight
of burdens of people who’re all me
But I’ll give it back
When they least expect
I’ll kill em with kindness or to death
Tomorrow I’ll sleep
until afternoon
The city’s all busy but for me
It all comes too soon
Underneath the moon
It’s the only time we can be seen
All we can do is just Serve the best time in the world every day to new pleasure voyeurs
And after some years we project all our fears to the people we love shackled to the same tiers
We think that we’re dead but we’re just hypertense for a sec until we remember how to rest
The apocalypse happens again and again and again until we take a breath and realize it’s the end
Waiting for fall Like the day is over
It all turns around again
And winter comes And we’ll relax
Back to what we all know best
Workers in paradise
Workers on parade
