Cigarette capsized
Warm, alone, some
Suspended say
"The wreck was beautiful
And now we hang,
It seems we're left to go our way"
As smoke, escape.
The drowning roll
Submerged in shame
Lonesome in their lovely gait
Through the chambers of the heart of the ocean
Tumbling until the floor
Resigns from sinking any more.
Contemplates, but never once does separate
A single honest question
From miasma, from confusion.
The lids of tide
The Waters eye
Blink thund'rously
With life received.

Being Sent to Sleep (You'll be Made a Chair for Ghosts)
A lonesome planet spins and gives
It's weight in light and silk like threads
That pulls you from the dream you've had
It's weight in light and silk like threads
That pulls you from the dream you've had

Forget, forgetful
Tales of regretful
People, person
Wither and worsen
Nothing said is true, especially in regard to what remains important. Through and through all of these guiltless words keep pushing outwards against what was built to contain them. In this frigid moment it's hard to think of what must have been when time didn't know what was to be, or what was to come. In any case, the fact remains, what is said is false, and what is read is the same.

You Woke Up, and Now You'll be Awake Forever
Bandits and men who clap and cheer
Hollow blue hollow blue
Ive got the two confused
It's too late to volunteer
Hallelujah hallelujah
Let me be excused
To stop in awe of every deer
Let me be of no help here
And happy, too, hallelujah
This is ours, too
Hollow blue hollow blue
Ive got the two confused
It's too late to volunteer
Hallelujah hallelujah
Let me be excused
To stop in awe of every deer
Let me be of no help here
And happy, too, hallelujah

Castles Made of Wax
I'm saving my breath
For blowing out candles
For all that I could not say
Surely could never weigh
More then but a pound
For blowing out candles
For all that I could not say
Surely could never weigh

Better to have Never
The ideal expiration
And the model civilization
Stand toe to toe
And share echos
And think about to-day
Says They:And the model civilization
Stand toe to toe
And share echos
And think about to-day
"When my mouth is empty
Then nothing can wake me"
They dream of teeth falling out
One awakes with a shout
The other is dead and alone
Then nothing can wake me"
They dream of teeth falling out
One awakes with a shout
The other is dead and alone

Annie Anyways
You were human all along
You did it all wrong
Sorry
When the children
Have played
They'll be rolled and stacked in caves
To sleep for days and days and
Days and Days and Days
We're alone
And betrayed
Standing naked in the waves
And I'm okay
And I'm okay
And I'm okay
You did it all wrong
Sorry
When the children
Have played
They'll be rolled and stacked in caves
To sleep for days and days and
Days and Days and Days
We're alone
And betrayed
Standing naked in the waves
And I'm okay
And I'm okay
And I'm okay
Beautiful Thing Too Painful to Look At
Off, muddy feet, to ride
Of ghosts and airs lost in old shells
A hermit and his bride
Dove wants, doves cares lost in old bells
Uncertainly, too, tied
Up both acres, coasts in murals
Attractions left to hide
Unfold, don't tear, oh carried to hell
Of ghosts and airs lost in old shells
A hermit and his bride
Dove wants, doves cares lost in old bells
Uncertainly, too, tied
Up both acres, coasts in murals
Attractions left to hide
Unfold, don't tear, oh carried to hell
Quartering Troops
Make ready your hammock
Bravely galvanize the breeze
Tie your ropes to Shadrack
See, he walks among the trees
To him with heavy knots and locks
You tied your bed, but he
Was never made of dirt or rock
Or anything to seize
No family of tree or man's ever going
To illustrate birth like the face of a coin
Bravely galvanize the breeze

Dusty Old Things
Stepping stones of tar left
Sweet silk bandages of scarlet
Holding back the mud in my eyes
From ruining the surprise
I'm a swimmer of blood
I'm really a river
I swallow my shores
As you shiver and shiver
My last sober thought was say nurse or say train
They both came at once as it started to rain
I'm a swimmer of blood, I'm really a river
And sink into flesh like a sliver
Sweet silk bandages of scarlet
Holding back the mud in my eyes
From ruining the surprise
I'm a swimmer of blood
I'm really a river
I swallow my shores
As you shiver and shiver
My last sober thought was say nurse or say train

I'm a swimmer of blood, I'm really a river

Wrench Vs. Hammer
You're only shakin
Because you have Parkinson's
Here I'm mistaken cause
This is just part of some
Stupid disease
Maybe
In twenty days
You'll pay me back
Lady
In different ways
You're on attack
And I just can't stand against
Draining of life
Switch your syndrome
And friends will come
Take it away and
I'll be there today
Draining the lake in
Your search for a man-of-war
What's a machine
Without oil?
(you kind of fucked it up)
All this waste
All this toil
Because you have Parkinson's
Here I'm mistaken cause
This is just part of some
Stupid disease
Maybe
In twenty days
You'll pay me back

All this waste
All this toil
Workin
Gold, you're still in your mistrust
No small thing at that
Rats
In fact
Even I'll try
To be there on time
Just don't go passing by
Cause I'll be there on time
Today I guess it takes
A bottle to awake
Twenty cigarettes and more
All this trash upon the shore
All this death for mere folk-lore
I truly can't say
When you wake up to-day
No small thing at that

I'd rather die then be away

Astro-eulogy
"Cancer!" he cried
The stars did stir
"Your alignment has lied!"
So bright did they burn
"My organs have died!"
thinking as they learn
"Oh, celestial divide!"
Blinking as they were
"I hurt so inside!"
The orbs came to Earth
"Bring me my life!"
Space and time curved
"I draw upon my knife!"
Unholy white, the sky turned
"I fear you not in the light!"
Cancer ate his words
with the land, the sea,
and all of the birds.

Be strong my riddle
I cannot see your end
Remind me sweet nettle
Of where your roots begin
By the dawn breaking darkness
May I find your meaning
Asleep in the forest
Against the beeches, leaning
The Pollen in the breeze
Would render you awake
With dew drops on your leaves
And through your heart a stake
I stumbled on you dazed
For the answer I've been needing
Is going to be raised
With your vines around me bleeding
I cannot see your end
Remind me sweet nettle
Of where your roots begin
By the dawn breaking darkness
May I find your meaning
Asleep in the forest
Against the beeches, leaning
The Pollen in the breeze
Would render you awake
With dew drops on your leaves
And through your heart a stake

Wretched You
Oh we spent a toast-less night
Oh we spent a cheer-less night
With our arms around those we love
Our fear as obsolete as sight
Morning coming
Oh we spent a cheer-less night
With our arms around those we love
Our fear as obsolete as sight

Swept in under
River of superstitious tomorrow
Bending towards the weakest levy
By the choruses chilling vibrato
Will the makers be saved
Bending towards the weakest levy
By the choruses chilling vibrato
Will the makers be saved
Don't leave, the raft is gone
The current will take you
It's far too strong
The current will take you
It's far too strong
White water, friendless beginning
Thrashing itself to drops and vapors
In his hardened eyes the lord is reliving
When condemn did he, the makers
Thrashing itself to drops and vapors
In his hardened eyes the lord is reliving
When condemn did he, the makers
Don't leave, the raft is gone
The current will take you
It's far too strong
The current will take you
It's far too strong

Self-Less Heart
buildings looking down
leaving, everything is linked by sound
wanting all to trickle down
we're all acoustic measurements
our bones good hollow instruments
and places that we've been
and things we may never feel
quite the same, oh quite so strong again
have etched the track beneath our bones
that yet rattle inside men
when we
oh
tear, we
leaving, everything is linked by sound
wanting all to trickle down
we're all acoustic measurements
our bones good hollow instruments
and places that we've been
and things we may never feel
quite the same, oh quite so strong again
have etched the track beneath our bones
that yet rattle inside men
when we
oh
tear, we
when we
oh
tear, we
oh
tear, we
when we order servants down
when we tear we loose the ground
some of us fit into etchings
our rest wanders the earth
some of us fit into etchings
I've Taken Up Smoking
Sand and time
Was this tower
Plastered my liver
When rivers froze over
Once we read stories
Beyond the wop store
Sometimes after school
I'd sob into coffee
Plastered my liver
When rivers froze over
Once we read stories
Beyond the wop store
Sometimes after school
I'd sob into coffee

The Story of King Ocean
Long ago there existed a great white beach
Nestled to his edge was an angry old sea
This sea was disgusted by the sand's small reach
So he sent his rolling waves to where he could not flee
This wise beach awaited the crash, the thunder, the doom that would smash
Against his white face, with no tears to attach
Then the surf met the land, with deep madness in hand
And laugh did the sea as the beach did concede
But when the ocean came to rest there was great pain in his chest
For the sands had met their end, in his belly, his only friend.
