Adoring The Able
02:07
|

it's the way you carry yr self like yr carrying something copernican. if something seems like it's worth doing you damn well better do it the best you can.
we are the harmony of a socket ratchet and a bicycle wheel
just clicking towards accomplishing all the goals that we set. because what could be more adorable than some one who's capable?

Sorta Grown Up
02:11
|
|||
so far away from my past
I'm looking at it through a telescope
and down this tube of refracted light
see my self waving to a future me
I'm so fucking grown up now
I finished all of my laundry
and I spent most of my money
there s a little bit more to worry about
and I don't do too much hanging around

Live Like Yr Alive
01:57
|
|||
you roughly have 2000 weekends left
don't trade them for sorry regrets
the only difference between a rut and a grave
is five and a half feet
love yr self
and make yr instrument
sing about it
don't let the shit hitting the fan
be yr only reason
the only difference between a rut and a grave
is five and a half feet
|
||||

||||
it's impossible to go out of yr way
when yr going
towards what you want
it doesn't matter how late it is
I'm gonna make it to you
tonight I'm gonna be with you
I might stop at the quick check
for a snack
and while I'm there I just might take a nap
and it's a fact
cookies taste better
on the road that leads home to you
|

Warp Tunnel
00:51
|
|||
it seems our hearts have been synchronized
was it luck or did I just arrive
at yr door step at the perfect time
some warp tunnel brought me to you
and now we're on the best level
while I was holding the books you lent me
our first hug it turned into a kiss

His Dog, Sil
03:24
|
|||
before the frost sets in
i'll find my way
past abandoned homes
through the over grown and fallow fields
down the old mine road
before the dam is built
before the waters rise
plant the seeds i've kept
under these old pines
they can't make me leave
i ain't got enough time
down the old mine rd
the last hold out sighed
the last hold out Cy

Thread Lock
02:58
|
|||
its best to not use lock tite
on the threads of yr present situation
there's just one more bolt
holding this on
i don't wanna break it
i don't wanna break it
clean the carbs
check for spark
clean the points
just keep kicking
this thing over
till' my leg
falls off

Hits Of Quercetin
02:11
|
|||
instead of sharing cigarettes
we share apples
they don't go quite as well with coffee
but they're better for our health
as long as our hands touch
on the pass
|

Blanket Igloo
03:21
|
|||
t's too cold to even consider the notion of getting out of this bed
if we had only programmed the coffee maker
keep asking the phone alarm for ten minutes more
till the time that i know i'll be ten minutes late
if we had only programmed the coffee maker
we would have more time in the blanket igloo
|
||||
10. |
||||
did you kick him out
well no he just kind of left
with everything we
were supposed to work out
better off now
that you are alone
and you can say
that you let him go
if you were’nt afraid
to drive on the highway
you could drive to maine
and call us on the way
just to say that you are complete
and you will be home in 3 days
|

Follow Through
02:59
|
|||
I'm sorry I didn't go to yr party
I had a prior engagement
that I meant not to break
I'm gonna follow thru on the
things that I say I'm gonna do
I've been late or maybe just didn't
show up enough times that enough
is enough

House
03:11
|
|||
I'm good at packing up my stuff
I know what to keep and what's
just junk every time I move I seem
to lose a little bit of something I
didn't use I don't want where I lay
my head to be home I want stability
a permanent address moving every two
years is really for the birds it's
getting old and frankly so am I
I want a place of our own
I want an old house that's made
of stone you can't see from
the road

Globe
01:53
|
|||
got my shoes
resoled today
now i can go
anywhere with you
my dearest
my dearest
my dearest friend
where do you
want to go
we can just
spin the globe
where ever your finger lands
thats where we’ll go
|
||||
14. |
||||
several instances come to mind when i
was unable to make up my mind
which way to go
yes or no
foregoing the lesser evil
let the insects sting
uninformed
and afraid to be wrong
i studied for hours
all the wrong chapters
be that as it may
a choice made
a check in a box
only time will tell
if that check will bounce

Cautious (Live - DYWADW)
01:38
|
|||
cautious and still breathing
enduring
the run on consequence
this is
a wonderful gift
and it
belongs
to you
|
||||
16. |
||||
where could you be
we called your name
you were not to be found
we heard your scared little voice
coming from up in that tree
looking down so helplessly
i put on my back pack
and climbed up that tree
you seemed to not mind
yr jansport escape pod
|
||||
17. |
||||
before the frost sets in
i'll find my way
past abandoned homes
through the over grown and fallow fields
down the old mine road

under these old pines
they can't make me leave
i ain't got enough time
down the old mine rd
the last hold out sighed
the last hold out Cy
|
||||
18. |
||||
i want to
hold you
like the wheels
hold the road
like its the only thing
between me and telephone poles
there must be
a spell on both of us
that makes each kiss
a book we haven't read
you make
my journal make sense
like deciphering
my penmanship while driving
|
||||
19. |
||||
we're probably running
a few minutes late
but that's ok,every one is
just gonna have to deal with it
we're gonna fit everything into
this window of time
we have before you have to be
at work
skip all the slow songs
we don't have time for that shit

This is unfolding
in an unfavorable light
sharply defined
shadows at the edge of reason
shapeshifting
trespass
your the only way out
dull headaches
left searching these
empty skies endlessly
what do they expect me to find
with a heart
obscured by doubt
resolutions buried
your the only way out

a steady hand
a steady hand
a steady hand can still
the leaves
that quake in a sudden
rush of autumn wind
this is a lament
for all the hours i’ve spent
toiling aimlessly
inside your boundaries
have you ever awoken
with your heart a beat slower
dreaming i walk this path
to a slowly dimming sky
fuller of purpose
fuller of purpose
now with out words
i will let the mountains
deliver my dissertation
and in the dark glade
you will be still and hear
this is a lament
for all the hours i’ve spent
toiling aimlessly
inside your boundaries
|
||||
28. |
||||
watch us fade into the fabric
of this place
become the relics of
posterity
what happens when the present
shifts to past tense?
who remembers where our
lives diverged from
this narrative?
our own stories unfolded
the last dispatch delivered
an ending:
we leave this with no choices left
we leave this to you

Something In Latin
02:54
|
|||
you're so useful but it's no use
there's no service in this valley
for the sake of nothing
(there is nothing here for us)
numb acceptance
i did nothing good today
numb acceptance
i have lost today
the minute hand describes
a circle of despair.
excruciating, I wait.

Loose Stitch
03:17
|
|||
i just had some good new s
wrapped around a pill of what am i gonna do
how do i navigate
the sea of the temporal
in a leaking canoe?
i dont want to seem
unappreciative
but some situations
are timed like a loose stitch
another let it be on
a long list of let it bes
tell me about following thru
on the other side of being true
leaning on this experience like a book leaning on a book end
each time i learn a valuable lesson
its more expensive

Lost At Kmart
02:42
|
|||
it doesn't take long
to get lost
the next thing you know
yr saying
your name over the kmart
loud speaker
and yr crying because
yr certain
you'll never see yr family
again
just turn that exposure up
and we'll see all the things
that are hiding
in the dark photo
of yr fears
a fear of not knowing
whats not there
i grew up on the lake
but refused
to go in it
i'll go in when i can
see exactly whats in
there
just turn that exposure up
and we'll see all the things that are hiding in the dark photo
of yr fears
this summer we all became ill
with some strain of tick born disease
but we were more comfortable
with that diagnosis than
a year of perfect health
and a forest free of parasites;
the peaks don't look as sharp
when they're not above the valleys
|
||||
32. |
Valley Road
03:16
|
|||
these walls are closing in
just promise me we'll leave here
before our bodies rot
and sink into the floorboards
this silence will un make you
this house is full of lies
the ones embroidered onto
lace and silk, old fashioned things
that we must never speak of
like fire i'll slowly let you burn
|
||||
33. |
Easy Assembly
02:25
|
|||
lets take a look at what
we're dealing with here
seems like enough to make
yr foundation crumble
lets spread it all out on
the kitchen floor
its not about age
or the acquiring of taste
its a lack of thereunto
a lack of which
i cant undo
|
||||

Poison
03:16
|
|||
you were living
in a car
that was rotting
in a junkyard
hoped you'd rot there
and let yr rust
poison the soil
in your Deepest level
of insanity
you were the sanest
i’d ever seen you
whatever you can live with
it doesn't matter in the end
i know you didnt mean it when you said
you wish the frozen water filled my lungs

Only One I Trust
04:22

this is unfolding
in an unfavorable light

obscured by doubt
resolutions buried
