i hope you brought your coat with you
we're smoking in an alley outside your room
but you don't look exhausted
you're just upset the we can't hold it in
we feed each other's fears
i don't know what you're saying
just remember that we love you
and we did before you came in
i know how to read a sign
i can sense an omen before it comes
the wind blew me backwards
you should see the stars form the yard
we feed each other's fears
i don't know what you're saying
just remember that we love you
and we did before you came in

mortar
02:09

you want the style but you flinch at the rust and the wiring
and it bunches into clots on the mortar
it could snap, i don't care if it matters if they do
and she promises to think of you
something i can cling to when it's empty space
instead of a warmth, or a hope that warmth will
spread through your voice
and betray the fog you catch on your heels
and i'll wait till i hear steps in the hall for my breath to sink
you spend your days picking burrs
off your coat until it's clean
even i can see you're burning through your fuel
common tools you should sleep but you're stuck to your sheet
and it's warm and you're awake
and part of him expects to wake with you
but it's sand in the sole and it's ground
into the end, he will hold your heart as often as he can
in his world, which is smaller
when he sleeps on his own, sets his own reminders
watch how he folds under pressure
and he thrives in the holes left in schedules
and he screams at the thought
that he's really who he is and my chest is tight again

as long as you tie yourself to me
there will be nothing sincere
only the veneer of happiness
nothing that we say is clear and
i will only drag us both along
you can call my name, but don't expect a thing
i will not respond
as long as you tie yourself to me
there will be splinters form the mast
deep within your back's muscles
as i try to make our water last
i will only drag us both along
you can call my name, but don't expect a thing
i will not respond
as long as you tie yourself to me
there will be no understanding gained
there will be no grand epiphanies
and no middle ground for you to claim
i will only drag us both along
you can call my name, but don't expect a thing
i will not respond
you can call my name, but don't expect a thing
i will not respond

come over
02:18

|
you don't know how small i am
until you've held me in your arms
i will put on my cruelest face
and hope the plaster latches on
we will talk in circles, we will pepper in remarks
we're not invested in
you're in all the papers (you're in all the papers)
you have claimed the shots
and when they take another (and when they take another)
another car will stall in front of intersections
you're the owner of the heart
that i am questioning again, come over
you don't know what you're asking (you don't know what you're asking)
when you question where we are
it's open seams in fabric (it's open seams in fabric)
that come unraveled by the score
and every spool tips off another (and every spool tips off another)
and i wonder who you are
as you stare right through me
you could consume me
at a moments notice, you consume me
come over come over
come over come over
come over come over

floodlights interlude

the field is overflowing
they have given up the lines
there are little games cutting up the middle
we sat down, and the band was out tonight
we saw them play
you could hear them howl in tune
if only i could listen to them now
a song i don't remember
they continued up until the flame
rolled off the table
the singer looked enlightened
he was older than them all
my legs have always put their weakness in the middle
we sat down, and the band was out tonight
we saw them play
you could hear them howl in tune
if only i could listen to you now
a song i don't remember
they continued up until the flame
rolled off the table
another day is over, they have given up the light
as another word is spit into the netting
we sat down, and the band was out tonight
we saw them play
you could hear them howl in tune
if only i could listen to them now
a song i don't remember
they continued up until the flame
burns off the table

convenience death
03:32
|

|
dark green moss is growing
from the base of the building
the glass is dirty and yellow
in between the double pane
my gluttony is nothing
and i don't treasure convenience
you will never want for everything
and its not sweet, like i mean it to be
there is little i say that has any weight
but you still wait for responses
as i've waited for yours
i have never been sure
what we will send away
dark green moss will cover me
i will be the foundation
life will come from my body
after i have gone away
and i am right to trust you
even if there's no reason
i want to tell you everything
and it's not death in any meaningful sense
just a releasing of breath i no longer need
and in spirit i will stay, taking moments from your morning
in the dy i remain barely seen
you will see (you will see)
you will see (you will see)
you will see (you will see)
you will see (you will see)
you will see (you will see)
you will see (you will see)
you will see (you will see)
you will see (you will see)
you will see

saint, i've been tied to you since i was six
i never went ashore; i am no citizen
you froze me on the corner of university and main
and even now i wait for you
i wanted you to see where i went wrong
i dream that i am falling
patiently into your arms
but i know that isn't what i want
saint, i will wait for you to freeze
and snow will settle on you
(watch her as she goes inside)
saint, you are unaware of me
but you move as if you know
(always know that you are right)
that you are right
you are always right
(always know that you are right)
saint, as a bulb burns out above your string
it's hard to dell the difference from a distant scene
and it's getting colder every week
saint, i will wait for you to freeze
and snow will settle on you
(watch her as she goes inside)
saint, you are unaware of me
but you move as if you know
(always know that you are right)
that you are right
you are always right
(always know that you are right)
watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside
watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside watch her as she goes inside
always know that you are right
always know that you are right

you are blond
i thought you were always blond
we walked on the beach
as it changed into dawn
we got smarter
you got wiser at school
our days got shorter
and we scoff
but you are not a cynic
and i'm glad you're not
i don't think you ever have been
i guarantee you, it is all built from within

anyways, love to... love
