i can retrace
his cheeks his chin with black flecks that scratched my face
when he leaned down to kiss goodnight
i can feel his hands
canyon hands
red, purple, gray was he
his eyes believed in everything
bright blue eyes
recognize
immortalized
when he reached to kiss the night
on a great rock climb!
canyon hands
rock crumbled quickly
his own descent
his nascent wings
bright blue eyes
recognize
the other day i thought of everything

i thought it was carved from my own hands
but the cliffs turned out to be just bluffs
an arm stretched across this big old land
shot but once from a distance
appearing big
appearing small
we had to let go
the ashes and honey were blown
resolved into our beautiful home
trying to find the difference between
feeling big
& feeling small

flirting with change
i hide a belly in me
one day i'm foolish but i know
some lead some follow
driving at night in a fast car
i see a light and it's not far
i am not where i used to be
will you ever get used to me?
drawing pictures in my new room
looking in mirrors in your bathroom
i am not where i used to be
will you ever get used to me?
protected and slow
a dream that's framed in a window
behind glass lies
orange (fear)
melody maker (is what)
elated traitor (we choose to ignore out of fear)
fear is what we choose to ignore out of fear
is what we choose to ignore out of fear
is what we choose to ignore out of fear
is what we choose to ignore out of
oh, how i want to fall in love with you
how i want to fall in love with you
how i want to fall in love with you
how i want to fall in love with you
lay down with me
try hard not to breathe
too loud to break the silence

sometimes at night, i feel like a ghost driving through these streets
these wheels have rolled so many times over this concrete
i take the same roads to get to the places that i would like to be
i'm still, still moving, my hands so sure they're keeping every beat
sometimes in the day, i wave to the faces that i will never meet
when i drive i think of friends and lovers they've all been so sweet
you're just fine with me, i'll just drive around in circles and listen to music

surely alive, i am aching in my bones
the feathers fall as i crawl onto my hind legs
like a newborn child, i'm an emblem of indirection
born atop the great divide of a fine line
as a cloud of dust, we're dispersing and expanding
you came before me and so will come after
do the ones before us taste the smoke from their machines?
they've prepared the movements that we are now finishing
i feel a tender kiss upon the back of my sweet neck
whose finger points and pushes me so kindly?
oh! it's the wind, and it's always the remedy
soft sheets of air filling in slowly
generations, woven
tradition, inherited and given
protection!
understanding!
oh, inevitability of generations

at last
we touch
fingertips try to hold
the moon pale and waxen
i am leaving in the dark
i saw you relaxing
on the leaves in your front yard
are we alone?
do you remember me?
seems now to me to be time to move on to that one thing but then
oh! you called my name
and you remind me
of a little black sheep saying
i had died and i thought you would come too
i had died and i thought you would come too
i push things way too far and make em too uncomfortable
i had died and i thought you would come too
i thought you would come too
the sun sells it's light to
the shadows on window shades
and look at me i'm alive too
and i am no longer afraid

it's the first of my seven day blood myth
oh, for heaven's sake!
take me to the end of the earth
a face, framed by wings in my window
an angel! robin red hood
good fellow
a silhouette, a silhouette! god forbid a frame dissolved
please give me peace of mind
give him a piece of my mind
thought love was a value of worth
thought pain was a symptom of birth
thought truth was the end of the earth
but i found out i was wrong
thought love was a value of worth
thought of pain was a symptom of birth
thought truth was the end of the earth
but i found out that i was wrong
oh, for heaven's sake!
take me to the end of the earth
there's a place with no heaven or hurt
everyone is kind, nothing to burden your mind
i know you and i dream about it all the time
