When You Realize

when you realize the state of being
you realize
come watch tv
i want you, i want you
you know we're on your side
i want you, i want you
kept your mind
i'm like all the rotten ones
how long it's been since we forgot?
seems like all we do is bitter in the long run
when you realize call off the cause
when you realize they're just getting off
i want you, i want you
you know we're on your side
i want you, i want you
we let it slide
i'm like all the rotten ones
how long it's been since we forgot?
seems like all we do is bitter in the long run
when you realize

one
one is plenty
straight into my backyard
i'm in love
holy ghost in the halls making you feel uneasy
it's not often i get out
it's not often
i've got all this time on my hands
do you like me?
i've got all this time on my hands
do i like me?
fan
fan sideways
roll the streets out to me
follow empty
holy smokes i got this, then i lose it
it's too often for me to count
it's too often
i've got all this time on my hands
do you like me?
gotta get a grip while i can
do i like me?
i've got all this time on my hands
do you like me?
gotta get a grip while i can
do i like me?

Dogwood
02:27
|

summers gone again i'm turning in
pulling flowers from their roots & mouthing off to you
flightless, and full of fight
start thinking about dreaming then i call it a night
i don't care that i used to know better
'cause i know how this ends
i can fly with only one feather
i've given it up
sat under the dogwood
i've given it up for good
there's one thing i'm wondering
if we're relying on each other whose town are we leaving?
we lean back into our arms
said, "is it tomorrow or yesterday?"
you say, "i don't mind either way."
i don't care that i used to know better
'cause i know how this ends
i can fly with only one feather
i've given it up
sat under the dogwood
i've given it up for good

Aura

on your bed it's soft, it's all, it's nothing
on your bed the cover crushes something
doing what i can with who i am
you said you'd seen my aura
looking straight through my downfall
but it was more like colored glass on the walls
cathedral
they knocked another mailbox over
they don't know
but we knew it was broken long ago
doing what i can with who i am
you said you'd seen my aura
looking straight through my downfall
but it was more like colored glass on the walls
cathedral
you said you'd seen my aura
but yours was more like colored glass on the walls
cathedral

Carry That Weight

wrestle you to the ground
didn't make a sound
hurt more 'cause i was younger then
black lines from a fountain pen
seen the storm, but didn't count the seconds
i've been trying to draw a line from you
i've been trying to draw a line
but i move way too fast
no scenery second glance
just trying to get there in time
i've been trying to draw a line from you
in the shape of someone lost i announce something so weak
hurt more 'cause you never knew me
these moments feel a slip of paper apart
how long have i been afraid of what i can't see?
i've been trying to draw a line from you
i've been trying to draw a line
but i move way too fast
no scenery second glance
just trying to get there in time
i've been trying to draw a line
did you make me up when i was under your thumb?
i tried, tried so hard
no one could tell me, no one could tell me
when i was young

hide
when it's for you
subdue lights
faintest issue
what's the side that i got through?
i know it's so bad,
but honest you can take it
i know it's so bad,
but honest you can take it
i've always thought this way
i've always thought this way
i did, i did, i did
when you're small
i remember
everything's honest, unfamiliar
did you mean my fever or yours?
i know it's so bad,
but honest i don't care anymore
i know it's so bad,
but honest i don't care anymore

Akari
03:01
|

|
a sharper image came to me
under the tree
the day we met
& if i listen, without resistance
we won't wonder what was said
a smaller mirror reflects my spirit
it's invisible, we've made our peace
what was it you fell from?
little red plum
when i weave it through my fingers it's unraveling
you tug of war at my empathy
how small of you to ask more of me
akari
new shapes & old cartoons
felt less embraced & more consumed
& when you move the features blur
was it intact? was i unsure?
what was it you fell from?
little red plum
when i weave it through my fingers it's unraveling
you tug of war at my empathy
how small of you to ask more of me
akari
when i weave it through my fingers it's unraveling
you tug of war at my empathy
how small of you to ask more of me

Feed the Garden
02:46
|
|||
|
little here
in your palms
i'm restless at best
woven heart
wrote the plan
the window is fogged
we lie in bed
all i see is growing over
so i will feed the garden, so what's left of me is beating at the door
everybody knows i want nothing more
tigers eye
around your neck
you melt the moon
& ran barefoot through broken beds
of crooked roots
that's how i remember you
all i see is growing over
so i will feed the garden, so what's left of me is beating at the door
everybody knows i want nothing more
