Walk Away With No Sound
03:36
|

blame it on anxious feelings
walk away with no sound
put it on anxious feelings
mouth moves with no sound
then he stared at the ceiling
wondering how the sound
that was once a familiar feeling
found once lost and how...
time wont wait

Warmer
04:18
|

I found a way to keep the body warm
burn the roof and burn the floor
as the embers of foundation fade
new motions brings a different heat
I found a way to keep the kitchen floor
it's tiled and scratched from life before
empty chairs stand like a monument
they're serving no one anymore
found a way to keep the body warm
found a way to keep everything torn

Town
04:39
|
|||
town waits
and i'll take place
settling in a common queue
showing no face
the grey space dissipates
town readies itself for another long year
town lingers in memory
and memory's not quite what it used to be
for what it's worth, the blank space is still there
town readies itself for another long year
so town waits
but town don't mind
inside, "we're fine"
inside we're waiting for the next mistake
told you to go
and you had to know
you'll be another footnote if they cite you at all
so check off every box and wade away
town waits another day
self proclaimed or important
either way all the same
next batch is on the way
and town waits

Windless Air
05:09
|
|||
comfort slipped in
and convinced the eyes that rest was earned
so risk feeling tired now
been tired before
im whittling away
every piece ive lost
are they to be jealous off
been jealous before
so i faked my death
just to catch my breath
while you survey the landscape
i'll map the lines on our faces
some new ones that weren't there before
but we're even score
then learn to love with your own voice
like you ever had a choice
so i faked my death
just to catch my breath
how does the windless air feel on your skin
begin again

count the corners above the four post well
convince the eyes of timing
it's an easy sell
try on some history
not yours but hell
stick to the script
read it well
fake until you make it
they can't tell
cover up the accent
mask it well
welcome home
you'll find it middle
well stay until you can't anymore
couldn't meld
i can see my house from here
lit by dim screen
glowing clear
i can see my house from
it's fading fast but built to last
green grass taking me back
grey skies taking me back

keep warm
live through
sleep not
clear sky
water up to the knees
and breath
a surface tension suggestion
says "maybe here's home..."
or maybe here's not
and I'm still swimming
still learning to live where i'm not from
the panic sets in but i'm not sunk
there's stillness and ease where i was once
in place, set of keys and a spot by the pond

Sabbatical
05:24
|
|||
Said "fine" when I was figured out
A small crime and I'm better now
A knock, ring, and a letter combined to a sobering sooth.
Past nine and I'm lingering out
Talked tough but I'm better now
These days my hands are trying to climb from the top of this.
Every now and then I'll find the time
To settle with the pieces that reside
In comfort and warmer light.
now am I still the same?
after 30 under different name
and by my side
a town arms wide
asking if I'd like to stay
stuck between an emerald hill
and place that still knows my
Once my voice was a steady sound
And I made a point to come around
These days volume's not my strong suit.
then hunch says to show myself
the door and I'm running out
stay in place for rest of the year
and even when i'm finally of the mind
to gather up the pieces of what's mine
breath deep and draw the blinds
sabbatical on the mind
am i still the same
spent half a life sharing my name
found a way to keep the body warm
an older place further from old
that day to day
sabbatical make me whole
take me where i'd like to stay
clear the air and clear the room
time recedes and fortune blooms
now i'm still the same
not vessel for the name I...
sabbatical
find the time and find the place
lift the mind from heavy space
now I'm still the same
not vessel for a name
I'm separate, I'm the same
found comfort, found sabbatical
peripheral, adjacent
comfort in a place
and comfort in a distance.

Fiction Road
02:54
|
|||
you showed me how to tie them on
and how to place the left and right
now here's a map with margins gone
good luck and get lost
take in the view from pedestal
as if i wanted that at all
now here's a map with margins gone
good luck getting lost
i'm peeling away
under the weight of a moving picture
that says "this is the way"
as if I asked
reach for the sound
convinced and conviction says
that a work around exists
as if I asked
everybody walks the fiction road
now I'm pacing and erasing
everybody walks the fiction road

Melatonin
04:00
|
|||
over all the city noise
the broad line lingers in the night air
connect the dots that lead to an ideal
place replaced with a nightmare
can't call my house a home
and work takes days from eyesight
smoke cloud lingers in the entry
sets the pace well for the next week
now melotonin
and serotonin
fistfight for ever bit on control left in me
and sitting sidestage
all access
i watch an actor play myself exit left
what do we own
when steady stream of chemical mismatch
takes it's toll
at night awake and forcing a habit
eat right
sleep right
sit tight
make light

Comfort Peripheral
03:23
|
|||
i'll stay peripheral
if it helps me to stay still
blame it on a split seam,
seeming the less that we know...
but oh if i could only see me now
how the anxious disspates
and as if on cue
found landing standing straight
here's history past as mine
traded a signal for aside
i'll stay peripheral
if i can stay still
