i’m dropping you off at SeaTac in the morning
and i’m worried about everything all at once again
seems i spent my weary days in a stupor
don’t wanna forget it all
seems i let everything pass me by
don’t know how to keep it all
when you come back home
we’ll cuddle in the blankets so close
as if there’ll ever again be snow
and you’ll feel a back so warm
we’ll hustle in the system so choked
never again be broke
‘cause baby you matter
you went to Safeway and got groceries the night before
because you’re worried about everything i might not manage
relief in the tempo so i hope that you find something to
seems i spent my weary days in a stupor
don’t wanna forget it all
when you come back home
we’ll cuddle in the blankets so close
as if there’ll ever again be snow
and you’ll feel a back so warm
we’ll hustle in the system so choked
never again be broke
‘cause baby you matter
you won’t be gone for long, but goddam
it’ll really get to me
it always gets to me
i just forget
you won’t be gone for long, but goddam
(hope, it was just tomorrow)
it’ll really get to me
it always gets to me
(hope, it was just tomorrow)
i just forget
when you come back home
we’ll cuddle in the blankets so close
as if there’ll ever again be snow
and you’ll feel a back so warm
we’ll hustle in the system so choked
never again be broke
‘cause baby you matter
it was just yesterday
that we were young and free
just you and me
when you come back home
we’ll cuddle in the blankets so close
as if there’ll ever again be snow
and you’ll feel a back so warm
i was reading The Grapes of Wrath
and had to laugh at the turtle metaphor
‘cause i’ve missed being in my youth
and now i need to reconstruct everything i thought that i understood

Some Train
04:25
|

he was a drifter, she slept all day
but together they make something magical
or so she thinks
on the brink of love again
will it ever be the final sprint?
on the brink of a poem
will it ever be the final sprint?
i’m on some train
straight to the inferno
that’s laid down for me
running late
where to be born again
onto some terrain long forgotten
though i know death to the self
time to grow
she was a big sister, he wept all day
but together they reigned something whimsical
or so they think
on the brink of love again
will it ever be the final sprint?
on the brink of a poem
will it ever be the final sprint?
all aboard some train
straight to the inferno
that’s laid down for me
running late
where to be born again
onto some terrain long forgotten
though i know death to the self
time to grow
all aboard the train
straight to the inferno
running late, running late
run away, fuck it all
all i wanna do is everything for you
all i wanna do is everything for you
so many things i just want to make better for you
all i wanna do is make love to you
all i wanna do is make love to you
all i wanna do is make it up to you
all i wanna do is make love to you
all i wanna do is make love to you
all i wanna do is make it up to you

the pixels that make up the memory
make me so unsure if there’s a cure for a world so cruel
spinning by the works of all pure
take me by the shoulder, hold it to me for a world so cruel
i ripped up my ticket to heaven
it flew away like the red balloon
i knew brimstone and dancing
way long before it was on the front
would it be okay if i let you stay here with me in Kalamazoo?
or should i just let you float in the basket that i made for you?
the next one, i’ll make sure it’s not empty
but i’m so unsure if there’s a clue for a period so cool
getting what i need, bottom rack of Dollar Tree
dinner by microwave, and espresso, too, forget a world so cruel
i ripped up my ticket to heaven
it flew away like the red balloon
i knew brimstone and dancing
way long before it was on the front
would it be okay if i let you stay here with me in Kalamazoo?
or should i just let you float in the basket that i made for you?
there’s no doubt, no doubt, no doubt that i love you
but i don’t really how to chisel the doubt
the precipice of all the others and their glory
lately it’s been sounding corny, but i’ve always been dramatic
another dipshit moment, based on a true story lately
it’s been so corny but i’ve always been camp
please, baby, tell me how do i make it all better
because i can’t stand to see you cry no more
would it be okay if i let you stay here?
i ripped up my ticket to heaven
it flew away like the red balloon
i knew brimstone and dancing
way long before it was on the front
oh please, baby, tell me how do i make it all better
‘cause i can’t stand to see you cry no more
so would it be okay if i let you stay here with me in Kalamazoo?
or should i just let you float in the basket that i made for you?
oh please, baby, let me know how much more i can do
because i will stand for you a thousand times and more
should you have the shittiest day, the shittiest year
i’ll let you fly when you’re ready to

Jean Cocteau Superstar

i drew a picture of the city
let it burn under the sun
now it’s only so faint to me
Blockbuster front aisle, so faint to me
and let them turn away
lots of promises to fade
like an owl’s wing, so faint in the wind
and i’m sobbing on the sofa
so on-brand of me
let me die right here, please
i don’t wanna go on
it’s redundant, all of it, and i’m ready
i drew a picture of the city
let it burn under the sun
now it’s only so faint to me
Blockbuster front aisle, so faint to me
mirror on a mirror in a mirror to a mirror
that was all i could see and feel and hear and speak
and there’s a mirror back in my first movie
and let them turn away
lots of promises to fade
like an owl’s wing, so faint in the wind
and i’m sobbing on the sofa
so on-brand of me
let me die right here, please
i don’t wanna go on
it’s redundant, all of it, and i’m ready
lots of flowers, no more fear
never really wanted to be here
lots of flowers, no more fear
never really wanted to be here
(i don’t see what’s wrong)
let me die right here, please
i don’t wanna go on
so redundant, all of it, i’m ready
let me die right here, please
i don’t see what’s wrong
to let go of this vessel, let me go
let me die right here, please
let me die right here, please
let me die right here, please
let me die right here, please

happy little Poppy
with downtempo
shepherd’s pie
black velvet dress
photos to sing
so magical
needles bloom

bowl of water, it rises
a phoenix just like me
sermon soap
dog star mirror
the whole world
he needs to hear

Rose of Jericho
03:51
|

the palms of my hands
they read miracles
the palms of my hands
they plant these seeds
had one here in me
it felt like a rhythm of bass and treble
spells that i played along
for myself to stay in check
like most songs, just a voice with no face
but yours, my sweetest thing
has never left this place
‘cause you’re now in the ether
laying in the water blooming forever
like a rose of Jericho
not the sweetest of the Tetley
and the best of giving
missing you
the palms of my hands
they plant these seeds (baby)
you’ll only bloom from here, my love
mama’s womb to the brightest of stars
but yours, my sweetest thing
has never left this place
‘cause you’re now in the ether
laying in the water blooming forever
like a rose of Jericho
not the sweetest of the Tetley
and the best of giving, i’ll be missing you
my rose of Jericho
not the sweetest of the Tetley
and the best of giving, missing my baby love
but don’t you cry
so i lay right here and let the water rise
close my eyes, don’t go in blind
so i lay here, lay right here, let it rise
i close my eyes, and see you there
in mama’s womb

i’ve learned love reciprocated in the aura
i don’t wanna be empty like i’m being
sorry if i’m letting you unread
i don’t mean to be some fucking stupid, but
i’m only a little fucking stupid, so
remember the honey
only in my bedroom with my cassette deck
pause and record
and there i was shedding stories and mysteries
in the darkest walls of eternity with the boys
and while i’m a tumbleweed deep in need
and all i need is a god i hate
there’s no dreams no more
i’ve learned love reciprocated in the aura
i don’t wanna be empty like i’m being
sorry if i’m letting you unread
i don’t mean to be some fucking stupid, but
i’m only a little fucking stupid, so
i don’t wanna be empty like i’m being
sorry if i’m letting you unread
i don’t mean to be some fucking stupid, but
i’m only a little fucking stupid, so

Pretty Like Me
02:10
|

not like me to not give my everything
you shoulda seen me before i caved in
hyperactive, but never active
i did it all for the check and then left the world
in all orbit, walking fiasco, ‘cause i’m a black hole
pretty like me to turn away and run
haven’t seen the sun in so long
sitting on the trunk under the sun
i’m taking in all the flowers and all their power
hyperactive, but never active
i did it all for the check, i left the world
in all orbit, i’m a fucking fiasco
i did it all for the check, i left the world
in all orbit, i’m a fucking fiasco
pretty like me to turn away and run
haven’t seen the sun in so long
sitting on the trunk under the sun
i’m taking in all the flowers and all their power
staring at the sun, the radio and television
staring at the sun, the radio and television
staring at the sun, the radio and television
never understood why i gave it all
unlike me to say fuck everything
never understood why i gave it my all
you shoulda seen me before i caved in
interactive, but never responsive
i did it for the check and left the world thrown
all in a funk, like, all the worlds before thrown
my mind is a black hole that swallowed sun
pretty like me to turn away
pretty like me to turn away
pretty like me to turn away
pretty like me to turn away
pretty like me

Nothing Really Matters
04:47

you reel me with into your dream
and it’s a rough one, ‘cause i run
on the verge of a blazing wilderness
until then, i don’t know why i won’t miss it
all of the warmness from the coldest songs
once sacred, now has me crying along
until i get my next buzz
true, i gave to you my soul and blood and wine and die
true, i gave to you my soul, blood and wine and i lose my faith in you
i’m old, flesh and bone, unreal
you rope me in with your charm
but i’m a rough one, and i run
i’m on some verge to tenderness until i’m back
down below the faces
all of the high from a humming song
once sacred, and now it has me crying along
until i get, until
until i get
true, i gave to you my soul and blood and wine and die
nothing really matters
nothing really matters
nothing really matters
nothing really matters

The Paper Mills

walking on the boardwalk in a slow dance
with lanterns leading the way, lighthouse to a train
sitting on the bench branded by BP
in a retrospective mood with phantom
leading the way, lightning bolt of pain
crash of thunder from a Frankenstein sky
it’s something due in time
we were quoting all the same things
the sparkle of the eye in the night
it was a magic from the beehive
leading the way, lightning bolt of pain
working on Thanksgiving
do the dance macabre under a reservation
there’s a heat in that pay, summer with the rain
selling cigarettes branded by the BP
in an introspective mood in tandem
and it’s leading the way,
leading the way onto the next train
crash of thunder from a Frankenstein sky
crash of thunder from Prometheus’ thighs
and i can feel it, that’s something
we were quoting all the same things
the sparkle of the eye in the night
it was a magic from the beehive
(walking on the boardwalk)
spent all day watching movies and hitting my vape
80s fantasy, never-ending stories
we were quoting all the same things
we were quoting all the same things
the sparkle of the eye in the night
it was a magic from the beehive

Zoinks!

i’m high as hell and i’m floating
on your choral blue tile kitchen floor
hot as hell for December,
the oven ever-burning over-smoke the kitchen floor
the Edmund Fitzgerald speaks to you in a whisper
the Edmund Fitzgerald speaks to you in a whisper,
glows in the nightmares, leaves you under the weather
i’m the Shaggy stoner to your Puma king
your hieroglyphic tattoo, i’ll always be on you
i’m in bed and puffing on this Bubbalicious
the acting in this Lifetime movie got me laughing in the moments
never thinking of the dread but then it builds up, i guess
it really takes a hold of me and i’m so sad all the time
so here’s a sad boy kind of rhyme
i’m the Shaggy stoner to your Puma king
your hieroglyphic tattoo, i’ll always be on you
i’m the Shaggy stoner to your Puma king
your hieroglyphic tattoo, i’ll always need to see
hot as hell for December,
the oven ever-burning over-smoke the kitchen floor
the crystals on the mountain speaks to you in a whimper
snow once the ultimate peak leaves you underneath the header
i’m the Shaggy stoner to your Puma king
your hieroglyphic tattoo, i’ll always be on you
i’m the Shaggy stoner to your Puma king
your hieroglyphic tattoo, i’ll always be on you
i’m in bed and puffing on this Bubbalicious
the acting in this Lifetime movie got me laughing in the moments
never thinking of the dread but then it builds up, i guess
it really takes a hold of me and i’m so sad all the time
so here’s a sad boy kind of rhyme
you don’t know a thing about me
you’re living in the up-turn, over the down-turn
giving all you got
you don’t know a thing about me
living on the down-turn, giving all you got to your tapeworm
bring it all up, bring it down in a fire
i’m the Shaggy stoner to your Puma king
your hieroglyphic tattoo, i’ll always need to see
