trees and rivers

I know you
I walked with you
on the moon, along the water
I've got room
you cling too
what's the use in giving up pot
or all the things
that lift what we can't face
when you go
I draw the cards
and look too hard for grace
put me down
I'll pretend to put you behind me
faithless, carnivorous
I want to be a patient boy
but my dreams are precognitive
tasteless, feeding this
is my desire to be a patient boy
and the epilogue, I got it
and the epidemic, you've caught it
and it's critical, you fought it

hit go.

i went counting on my hands today
stayed to keep warm
i couldn't give it away
i like your spine too much to say
"it's cake"
to watch what i want break

i hit stop cuz we were far from here
we didn't know cold
smoked off the fear
i don't need daylight, you don't need another beer
they don't need to know the everythings
you're saying in my ear

we have the sun
you do the honors
i do the harmonies
we're not done
fuck your armour
what about the prophecies?

i'm good
but you're not good to go
what do i do i do with all this yellow?
i'm lovely
but you're bloodless lately
why do i do i wanna call you baby?

God, I hate your girlfriend.

you claim to cancel
but the cancer burning
in what heart you have left
yeah, about that..
you called you're coming
so i'm running from you
in inappropriate shoes
yeah, do the math

what's this
about the emptiness?
you're an expert now
because you pretend not to miss
being early
being there at all

rule me in

venetian blinds, french doors
you're packing for your tour
"i'm gonna save the world"
you said
it's easier than that
but I want my money back
I've been reading you
since I was a kid

your advances, but i'm cold
my god, i would
but I know
you don't need me
at your feet righ tnow
we signed it in hope
and I gave you all my dope
sirens on my tail
but I want you sitting close

back again back again
gun to your head
you can't say
that I'm too late
back again back again
its in your head
but your singing
you don't like the shape

if you rule me out
you'll never see
the edges burned anthology
and i am tired
call me out
i'm at the scene
if you're in blood, put it on me
and i lied
to every organ
friend and lover
I fail to justify
but i try
and i try
to rain out the fire

when I'm lucid

you are an image
when i'm lucid
you and i
you don't know
plays in my head
weighs like lead
if i could win
we would be home

not one for lies
just this tonight
you look afraid
but you're doing it right
talk to kill
kiss to fill
this is the government
and the sleeping pills

i'd lay it out
obey the sounds
watch your mouth
when they're around

you are a god
i'm never wrong
if we had souls, you said
they might be one
go put to sleep
your loyalties
and sing to me
one of the thirty six i keep

i'd lay it out
obey the sounds
watch your mouth
when they're around

if only thoughts count
then count me in
cuz your pretty words
got my pretty little head thinkin'
its not fair
but you're fair game
meet me in the church
we'll go down in flames
smoke until the mirrors
define uninvention
so high our love
beyond all comprehension
when paranoia
refuses to walk tall
one will run
one will fall
we're all
we're all funny little animals

so high

the time has come,
and it's come to my attention
when I can't get no inspiration
you should say something
it should say something
then you do
and i don't take
it like a big pill,
it like a wooden stake
I keep on
all I want

this has nothing
to do with the state or the light
'cause I remember when the trees stayed up all night
we never said anything
and that says everything
don't caught
when you're caught in the eye
count down
we're all gonna die
I keep on
I know what I want

it is a circle,
if you don't believe, believe it
when it's burning down
it's just your basic physics
because he said something
and she won't let herself think
but you do
and I won't say
what's written
all over my face
I keep on
it's all I want

when I can feel it crashing
I will find you on your knees I know
like a trip, fade out the traffic
when you hear it on the radio
and you don't but I dream
it's dawning three
and in all the ashes
we can hardly see
and only sometimes does it kill me
that we get so high off of waiting

bff vol1

"yes, they're mine.
I meant to ask for light.
It's just not the same
after your sixteenth birthday."

"So expensive now.
I bought kings for that party."
"Won't stop me anyhow.
I'll start selling my body."

"Oh man, I drank my life.
and I didn't see you all night.
Just your lipstick on the cigarettes
you put out on the front step."

"Everyone was a corpse.
I made friends with a girl in a tu-tu."
"That guy at the door
told me he was going to fuck you."

after all

you could find me in the background
when the backdrop
is a a cartoon
and you don't belong
you don't belong
put a fucking record on

you can't beat it
time is stoned again this time

you could find the answers in the blackhole
see you backstage
this is your dream
you can call me honey
wait it out
we're being followed now

you can't beat it
time is stoned again this time
don't be greedy
don't go looking me in the eye

come on
and wear me out
do the work
make the devil proud
i know i know the door should be locked but
you baby you baby you baby you
come on
and walk me out
watch my words
turn the car around
i know i know the door should be locked but
you baby you babylove baby you
i know i know i know you're locked up but
you baby you baby you look good

find my eyes rollin at kinetics
it's electric
and the dancefloor
but i've only had four
calling late
you held on yesterday

you can read me
corner me again this time

i can hear you in the static
the erratic
revelations
haven't been so patient
feel it too
like everybody else in the room

you can read me
corner me again this time
don't be greedy
don't go looking me in the eye


come on
and wear me out
do the work
make the devil proud
i know i know the door should be locked but
you baby you baby you baby you
come on
and walk me out
watch my words
turn the car around
i know i know the door should be locked but
you baby you babylove baby you
i know i know i know you're locked up but
you baby you baby you look good


hedonism
check it off
if I can't breathe
I'm with him
if he won't talk
he's not with me

existentialism
check it off
if I can't be seen
I'm with him
after all
told him to corner me
