Goodbye Rockstar,
That’s all she said
With a smile on her lips
And our voices in her head
It’s a little hard to fill the shoes
Accused of stepping into
But I’ll just have to wait
To hear some more
Sittin’ cross legged elevator floor,
The silence got us talkin’ more
Obvious recognition
Inconceivable emissions of
All that we stood for
And the realization
That our independent nation was
More than needed
Was what we needed
Goodbye Rockstar

Mornin' Storms
03:41
|

Light sprays endlessly through the
Branches high above the leaves
Twilight’s set the autumn sun
Colors your face and warms your knees
Chills stem down your spine to the
Place where all divides are left
Frigid hardwood floors used just
To get laid down in creaky beds
Lean in,
You’re the secret that I chose
Hear it?
We’re the only ones who know
Pictures flutter in between
Thoughts we had; you and me
Love remembers those in Spring
Warms the dirt and heals all things
Mornin’ storms hold out for us
The heat will stir us from our rest
Nature stands motionless
In the wind we’re swayin’ in its stead
Lean in,
You’re the melody I wrote
Hear it?
My skin is brushin’ up against your clothes

Powerlines
03:30
|

Powerlines cradle us in the sky
They’re tau(gh)t but sometimes tight
Powerlines, they shine out mostly bright
Can’t get those colors right.
Hair is curling
(Now we’re at the end,
Hangin by the threads
Of the suit jackets
We wove)
Damp waves of heat
Shining stars trip through clouds and tear apart
And we wonder where they are
Sparks form bodies
(Now our tongues curl up
Broken vessels pump
Power through our blood
Our veins)
They tell us things
Powerlines struck down by stars that fly
Powerlines tracing the bright twilight
Yeah Powerlines etched across set skylines
Powerlines can’t get those colors right

Broken Bird
04:30
|

Broken bird, won’t you come down
From your perch? You’ve got me found out
Once I heard you sing so loud
But you’re hurt, you only scream now
Wind lashed our backs
Ice formed, we cracked
Here I lie arms are folded
And my eyes are coated
I will not cry it’s not hopeless
Though your car has long left
With all the time that you’ve left me
I’m thinking things that are not healthy
It seems to me the comfort I crave
Will have to wait for my grave
I have refuge in two trees
One has roots and one just leaves
Wind lashed our backs
Ice formed, we cracked

Motion,

We were kids
We copied off our friends
Our mother
She taught us what it meant
Can you hear me? (We fought then)
Are you listenin’? (We were at odds and ends)
Somethin’s standin’ (Our brother)
In your place and (He stayed away with friends)
I’ll be watchin’ from (You come from)
Miles away
Where have you been?
We grew up
Regardless what you said
Our father
Told us we’d grow taller yet
Can you hear me? (We fought then)
Are you listenin’? (We were at odds and ends)
Something’s standin’ (Our brother)
In your place and (He stayed away with friends)
I’ll be watchin’ from (You come from)
Miles away
Where have you been?

Thread

There’s a sweater woven in the dirt.
Its stitching cuts through clouds and earth;
Sculpting canyons and the ozone layer.
And the colors spilled in from the stratosphere
We were standing, watching all the thread
Piece together and weave itself with breath.
We saw our reflection in the river bend.
In the fabric we began to blend.

Cartridge Hearts
05:24
|

My car is working hard
You’ve left all of your salt out in the street
I’m resting on the door
Steeping sounds and I am sound asleep
“Our tendons and muscle fibers
Tense up and set on fire
I’m desperate but I’m not buying”
So I stretched out and started lying
If our hearts are pumping ink,
Are we left with something in between
Abstraction and Industry?
But foreign words have entered in the stream
“Our tendons and muscle fibers
Tense up and set on fire
I’m desperate but I’m not buying”
So I stretched out and started lying
Our blood vessels are confined
Waking up to tail lights
