What Do You Have in Mind? 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Let me guess your weakness Or some other time Though I’m known to stay inside With you I want to try Ineffably, out of breath, With a lake on top my chest everybody’s left, please don’t be next Oh spit it out, I’m still here, Every freckle, every tear Nearly 30 years What do you have in mind? The crescent in the water Can’t seem to catch a fish And any bread I offer Does not reach your lips Adrenaline, mix it in A Total lack of common sense Hidden innocence, constantly tense Ruddy edges un-caressed Any case, I’ll do my best What’s left unaddressed What do you have in mind? Part of me still wonders what it’s like Mostly in the middle of the night Is there such an outcome to my life? Open to be surprised What do you have in mind?

Sewn on Shadow 04:14
lyrics
buy track
That's when my psyche shattered Need I really say more? Feel the wind how it scatters me All over the shore I been stacking splinters I pull ‘em one at a time Clearest crystal midnight Era of my life Winter whistles Through the temple Shadows tremble Asymmetrical Oh it's simple frail and dimpled What’s the signal Intellectual? With your sewn on shadow No one here is impressed What possessed you to grope Leonard’s veil of flesh None of that now matters Smoke is filling the barn Go on move it along We’ve sounded the alarm Hollow horses Hidden torches Reinforcements To your home coordinates Captain Nemo Quite the ego What’s to fear though If the sum is zero? Entertainment An estrangement Can not change it Make it so it’s painless Will they won’t they Spill it Brontë Maybe one day Perhaps in old age Expensive fabrics Chartreuse of absinthe Fill up of an absence Oh they have their merits I’ve pre-ordered Now I’m cornered Now it’s torture What did I do that for?

When the Weather's Cold 03:10
lyrics

It’s been years since i have been here I’m not responding like I thought i would. maybe this will do me some good eventually who’s this person grabbing me acting like they oughta be someone trustworthy when they did so knowingly I’d runaway when the weather’s cold I’d runaway right under your nose I’ll pack my things, some extra clothes When the weather gets so freezing cold No way that’s the root of my Heart ache insecurities It’s something deeper Yes, the work of some bottom feeder All my petulant anger Pent up lonely wagers Total strangers, when I’m the one Who’s in danger I’d runaway when the weather’s cold I’ll runaway right under your nose I'll pack my things, some extra clothes When the weather gets so freezing cold

Feed the Fish 03:18
lyrics
buy track
How do you feed them with out scaring the others? Is silence sufficient or is there more to the answer? There you go I burn the paper Turn off the news And I jump out of bed And start looking for you There you go Get into the habit Another song from static A work of art from the attic The lightning in your fabric Tried it once and I couldn't stand it Did what ever the room demanded When I left that's when it landed So be it then your wish is granted What a landscape you can create When you collide with what would not move There you go

Worth the Wait 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Trust me I’ve googled Scrolled through them all Fossils of monsters Frozen in walls Precambrian era to Late holocene Whenever the wheel First hit the scene I'd say I think you were well worth the wait The way your hair falls by your face this new day It keeps getting longer The number of years ‘Tween now and whenever this timeline appeared Only compounding The way that I feel To see how this world Gives under your heels To see your smile in the vacuum of this place To see how you command such a stage in little ways The gnarly business of natural selection Volcanic ash boiling primordial oceans Unbroken dynasties of horse shoe crab families Driftwood highways and lost branches of species I'd say I think you were well worth the wait I don't care how long it turns out to take
