I’m trying to think about dreams I’ve had
Happy or sad or the middle
Sometimes about you, with or without you
Still leaving me in the dark
I am dragging out, I am dragging out
I am dragging out of bed
But I’m still coming up, I’m still coming up
I’m still coming up Daisy
What was it you said when I stopped to listen
I’ve poured over the pages you wrote
This manual to help me get it together
But you won’t hold my hand anymore
I’ve been through enough, I’ve been through enough
I’ve been through enough lately
But I keep fucking up, I keep fucking up
I keep fucking up Daisy
Neither am I good nor pure
Neither am I wise
However I am willing
To start from the ground up
So I keep growing up
When you had me living in a little greenhouse
Starters in the basement at home
What to do, what to say?
Prepare me for that day
And it made so much sense at the time
I am questioning, I am questioning
I am questioning the man
But I keep fucking up, I keep fucking up
I keep fucking up the plan
Oh seed
Pick your poison
While you’re down there in the ground
Father, father
What do I do
When you are not around
And I feel like giving out
And crashing down to the ground
Backbone is battered as any
But show me my roots
Neither am I good nor pure
Neither am I wise
However I am willing
To start from the ground up
So I keep growing up
I keep growing up
I keep growing up
I keep growing up
I keep growing up
I keep growing up

Open Heart
03:51

Sit down in the waiting room
Someone will be with you soon
Write down your history
As you remember exactly
Deep breath
Oh we’re taking your temperature now
Hold tight
Oh we’re taking an xray now
I’ll send the doctor in
He’s gonna wanna see this
Critical condition
We can’t dismiss this
Deep breath
Oh we’re cutting you open now
Hold tight
Oh we’re taking your heart out now
Put the pieces back together
Looks like it’s been shattered by a bad love
Don’t talk shit, stick with this
And next time you’ll get a better one
Keep an open heart
Keep an open heart
Wake up wake up for me
You’re gonna feel some pain
It took us hours to fix
The injury you sustained
Deep breath
Oh the signal is better now
Hold tight
Oh it’s about to be over now
Sit up in bed for me
Therapy should start
You'd rather feel this pain
Than have a broken heart
Deep breath
Oh this is your new life now
Hold tight
Oh it's about to be over now
Put the pieces back together
Looks like it’s been shattered by a bad love
Don’t talk shit, stick with this
And next time you’ll get a better one
Keep an open heart

Burning Accidents
03:39
|

Love me like a straight and narrow
Love me like you love a friend
Love me like a burning flare and I’ll find my way back again
Treat me like a tender try
Treat me like the lock and key
Treat me in the way you’d say there’ll always be a place for me
Leave the burning accidents to hurt the world behind
Don’t settle there and crystalize them in your mind
There’s clarity in space with stars to guide you through
They’ll protect the key that I left out for you It’s not easy for two to love
Lead the way for both of us
Show me all the strength I need
Devote your life to open road
And you are destined to succeed
Think about me when you find
What you have been looking for
Remember it’s a game
That’ll always leave you wanting more
Not easy to let you go into the night
Not easy to let you go without a fight
So Leave the burning accidents to hurt the world behind
Don’t settle there and crystalize them in your mind
There’s clarity in space with stars to guide you through
They’ll protect the key that I left out for you It’s not easy for two to love
Hold me like we’re only one
Hold me like it used to be
Hold me through the darkness
But keep me with you in a dream

Dirty Teenager
03:07

The weekend before first semester ends
We’re in Paul’s room pounding miller lights
Listening to left speaker Marley
And I wonder if he’s ever taken out the trash
So I step outside to get some air
Light a cigarette and see her walking there
Stack of books and a command
And she let herself into the dorm
Didn’t see me beside the door
I don’t wanna be a dirty teenage
I don’t wanna be a dirty teenage
I don’t wanna be a dirty teenage boy
Suffice it to say she didn’t see me
All of a hundred pounds and skinny jeans
Reeking of tobacco and egg and cheese
But in the moment the door shut she had become my world
So I step outside to get some air
Light a cigarette and imagine her there
With a smile and her hand in my hand
And she led us both into the dorm
I was standing beside her for sure
I don’t wanna be a dirty teenage
I don’t wanna be a dirty teenage
I don’t wanna be a dirty teenage boy
I just wanna be your friend

Animals

The concrete’s hard on the lion’s toes
And the bones connected to bones
But he pounces on it every day
Sneaking on his prey
The shark will swim in his saltwater pool
In a penthouse on Madison avenue
Poised, pointed forward he is ready
For any trace of blood
Flesh and bone
Doesn’t even compare
To the primitive hate and deadliest wares
Of a 45 calibre gun
Height awards the hawk the upper hand
When he’s protected by the man
And trained to target powerless persons
And throw them all away

Seventeen
I just wanted to be in love
My very own whale song
My one true hum
I call for you
Across the hill and valley too
I put out a dream
I hope it reaches you
Lay on my back
Feel your face in the cloud
Time is fickle in the
Space it allows
It could be 24 hours till I
See you
Eighteen
Wading through the sea of love
Has become a chore
A bore without you
The alphabet
Has everything you mean to me
When you align four letters
Perfectly
Lay on my back
Feel your face in the cloud
Time is fickle in the
space it allows
It could be 24 hours till I
See you
What if I miss you at a highlight
Or at a stoplight
I’ll know I’ll know
Will I miss you at the first light
Or at first sight
Lay on my back
Feel your face in the cloud
Time is fickle in the
Space it allows
It could be 24 hours till I
See you

I Like Myself
03:24

I feel different today
She must have made me feel this way
When I look into the mirror
I think I see what she sees
It’s clear
I kind of like myself
Cause she likes me
And since I think the world of her
And she of me
Then I’m exactly who and where I want to be
I haven’t criticized myself
There is no need I am stronger now
Then I’ve ever been before
I’ve never told you how I felt before
Oh why have I not told myself before
I love you
Yes I love you
I finally love myself
Cause she loves me
And since I think the world of her
And she of me I’m exactly who and where I want to be

Did You Love Somebody
03:33
|

I should have asked you a second time
Were we on the path to true partnership?
A name we used so they knew we were serious
It’s what we told ourselves to feel responsible
I dreamed of getting older with you each year on a Christmas card
I never thought I’d let you down
Too old to be searching for something better
And now our little dog looks me in the eyes
From my new single bed, single sublet
Did you love somebody
Did you need somebody
Don’t remind me
Did you love somebody
Did you loose everything
I forgot it rains nine moths of the year.
When it rains it never pours, but damn
I made a mistake on a night like this
How about that for a reminder
A slow and torturous trickle reminder
I dreamed of getting older with you each year in the house we built
I found a note
Inside my coat
And it said to die
Window to a blank stare
Slash across the chest
Heart in a bucket on ice
Did you love somebody
Did you need somebody
Don’t remind me
Did you love somebody
Did you loose everything

Salome
03:09

I’m a sucker for your charm
I can’t help but sing along
To your song
Hold your hand
Soak up the sadness
From your eyes don’t cry
Play pretend friend
This is your one woman show
I’m hanging onto every word you craft
Do you hear your name in god’s admonition
Listen
Salome
Now you’re upright victorious and barefoot with my head in your hands
I warned you of the evening’s malevolent moon
She's taken total control over you
But Salome
Now you stand here in front of me paralyzed and unable to dance
Your righteousness is a second guess
Your audience begs the question
What good’s a head
That’s dead
Princess take us down with the ship
Salome
Now you stand here in front of me paralyzed and unable to dance
Your righteousness is a second guess
Your audience begs the question
What good’s a head
That’s dead

Nothing lasts forever you can’t ever hold on too tight
The skin will slip away and in no time we’ll see the light
This is me calling cause I really wanna see you tonight
This is me calling cause you really need to let me inside your heart
No matter what you want there are never any guarantees
But just before sunrise, you’re still right here with me
This is me noticing that this time the stars have aligned
This is me saying that you really need to make up your mind, this time
Tell me what are you afraid of, why do you hide?
Show me everything you feel and fear inside
Cause I’m running, I’m running
Meet me in the morning indigo skylight twilight
Tell me what are you afraid of, why do you hide?
Show me everything you feel and fear inside
Cause I’m running, I’m running out of time

St Joseph

Bury your saint in the ground
Find someone who will buy your home
And make it their own
Say goodbye to your friends
And wonder if you really ought
Too see them again
Big transitions
Require
Impulse actions
Require
Loss
You will not miss the memories
No comfort in those songs
When you sing along
You’re on your own, you’ve always been
Fight back a tear and fear
To shut the door
Big transitions
Require
Impulse actions
Require loss
And
Light
And
Love

Trophy

I love you
Like man loves
A trophy
Desire
While I’m cleaning out the cup
You’re bleeding away
Its all carry out my love
We’re hand in glove
I’m toothy
Mmm and you’re quiet
They’re spying
And you’re dying
While I’m cleaning out the cup
You’re bleeding away
Its all carry out my love
We’re hand in glove now
I can’t hear you
(Here you are but)
While I’m cleaning out the cup
You’re bleeding away
Its all carry out my love
We’re hand in glove now
And I miss you
Just wanted
To have you
(For myself)
